The new Judson and Joyce Green

Center for the Performing Arts

Major expansion and renovation

will enhance teaching and learning in the arts
Construction is underway on a major expansion and renovation of
DePauw’s 33-year-old Performing Arts Center, which is home to the
School of Music and the Department of Communication and Theatre.
The two areas offer majors that enroll nearly 25 percent of DePauw’s
graduates each year (music performance, music education, musical arts,
music business, communication and theatre).
An alumni couple, Judson C. Green Jr. ’74 and Joyce Taglauer Green
’75, committed $15 million dollars as the lead gift for what will be a $29
million project. The new Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Perform-
ing Arts will encompass nearly 80,000 square feet of new space.
“The Performing Arts Center has served DePauw well, but the needs
of faculty members, students and performers have changed over the last
30 years,” Joyce Green said. “The renovated center will provide new
functional spaces for learning, practicing and performing – and will
include a recording studio. The project will also remedy the heating and
cooling issues the building has struggled with for years. I’m confident the
space will attract top students and faculty members who are interested
in the performing arts and make our programs even stronger.”
Joyce Green was a piano performance major at DePauw and is a past
chair of the Washington C. DePauw Society. Judson Green, president
and CEO of NAVTEQ Corporation, was an economics major and
a music composition minor. He is a member of DePauw’s Board of
Trustees and served as board chair from 2001-04.
“The School of Music is a distinctive part of DePauw’s history,”
explained Judson Green, who played jazz piano on weekends in Chicago
during his college days to finance his education. “Through this gift,
Joyce and I hope to ensure that future generations of DePauw students
can enjoy the performing arts as part of their DePauw experience.”

The Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts will feature the following:
• A 20,000-square-foot addition to the west of Kresge Auditorium will provide the School of Music with
new faculty offices that will double as teaching studios, practice rooms for individual students and small
groups of performers, and purpose-built rehearsal spaces shared by band and orchestra, percussion,
jazz, wind and chamber ensembles. There will be additional classrooms and instructional spaces for
electronic keyboard instruction, music composition and recording technologies. Improvements will
provide better sound quality for instruction, rehearsals and practicing. The purpose-built rehearsal
spaces will free the performance venues (Kresge Auditorium and Thompson Recital Hall) for a wider
variety of events, since they will be in less demand for regular instructional needs.

• The communication and theatre department, which offers DePauw’s most popular major,
will gain classrooms and offices, a computer-aided design workshop, and expanded faculty
and student gathering places. Improved classrooms will include DePauw’s first purpose-
built spaces for the teaching of acting and dance, and a new theater-style classroom will
be suitable for rhetoric and debate as well as for film studies and screenings. Kerr Theater,
DePauw’s blackbox experimental theater space, will be enlarged by 50 percent in the
renovation.

• New lobbies will be created for Moore Theater and Kresge Auditorium, with improved
sound and light locks that will permit simultaneous use of both spaces and adequate
spaces for the audience of either during intermission without disrupting activity in the
other hall.

• A state-of-the-art recording studio will allow performance students to make master record-
ings of their repertoire and will provide facilities for training students in digital recording
techniques.

• An expanded library space will provide improved support for print and recorded collections
of music, communication and theatre with improved listening areas and work stations.

• The project will include much-needed improvements in the temperature and climate
control systems throughout the building.

• Bowman Park and Walker Pond will be reconfigured.

Cleveland Johnson is interim dean

of School of Music
Cleveland T. Johnson, professor of music, was appointed
interim dean of the School of Music, effective Jan. 2, and he
will serve in that capacity until the fall of 2007. The previous
dean, Amy Lynn Barber, resigned in order to devote more
time to her teaching and recording.
“Professor Johnson has been a valuable member of the
School of Music faculty since 1985, and he was the choice
of his colleagues to serve in this important position as we Johnson
begin a national search for the new dean,” Neal B. Abraham, executive
vice president of the University, vice president for academic affairs and
dean of the faculty, said. “I’m delighted that Cleve has agreed to take
on these responsibilities.”
Johnson received a B.Mus. degree from the Oberlin College Conser-
vatory of Music and D.Phil. from Oxford University. He is a respected
scholar and performer with a special interest in the 17th-century Ger-
man organ and its literature. His most exemplary contributions to this
field are his three-volume edition of previously unpublished
organ works by the 17th-century Hamburg organist
Heinrich Scheidemann and six compact disc recordings of
Scheidemann’s organ music. He has begun to investigate
the history of keyboard instruments in India, including the
documentation of historic pipe organs there as well as the
history of the indigenous Indian harmonium.
In the classroom, Johnson is particularly interested in
using technology to enhance his students’ classroom experience in the
liberal arts tradition. His work has received grant support from the
National Endowment for the Humanities, Lilly Foundation, Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation, Thomas J. Watson Foundation, American Institute
for Indian Studies and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst
(Fulbright).
Founded in 1884 and housed in the Performing Arts Center, the
DePauw University School of Music is one of the oldest in the nation.

Professors Anne Harris and John Schlotterbeck
receive Exemplary Teaching Award
Anne F. Harris, associate professor of art,
and John T. Schlotterbeck, professor of his-
tory, are the 2005-06 recipients of the annual
Exemplary Teaching Award. Given jointly by
DePauw and the General Board of Higher
Education of the United Methodist Church,
the award recognizes faculty members who
exemplify excellence in teaching, civility and
concern for students and colleagues, commit-
ment to value-centered education, and service
to students, the institution and community.
Harris, who joined the DePauw faculty in
1997, has created new courses, such as first-year
seminars on “From the Holy Land to Grace-
land: Studies in Pilgrimage” and “Stolen!: Art Harris
Theft and Western Culture” as well as medieval
art history courses on “Love and War in the
Romanesque Era, 900-1200” and “Women
and Medieval Art.” Her colleagues from other
liberal arts colleges expressed their admiration
for her contributions to recent meetings on
the use of digital images in teaching. She also
serves as the director of the Honor Scholar
Program.
Her students attest to the remarkable ef-
fectiveness she brings to classes. Harris inspires
them to learn and to challenge themselves.
“More than any other teacher I have known,
Anne combines a rigorous understanding of
her subject with passion,” noted a faculty col- Schlotterbeck
league. “She is certainly drawn by the beauty of art, but even more by
a relentless curiosity to explore and understand. It is impossible to hear
Anne discuss a painting or a sculpture without getting drawn into art
as the gateway to a greater understanding of culture, history, religion
and philosophy. Her thinking is, on a theoretical level, rigorous and
sophisticated, and yet she manages to translate her thought process into
a language that students can understand and be inspired by. On Winter
Term trips and in the classroom, she – more than any other colleague
I have worked with – shows students the attraction of living the life of
the mind.”
4
Schlotterbeck arrived at DePauw in 1978.
He was promoted through the ranks, including
to professor in 1993, and served the history
department as chair for five years. He was
previously recognized by the University for
sustained excellence in teaching and service as a
recipient of the Distinguished Professor Award
in 2003-05. He is among the pioneers in the use
of instructional technology at DePauw, and he
is now a leader in a group of faculty colleagues
exploring the possibility of a museum studies
program at DePauw.
“John is impressive and humbling in his
dedication to and his respect for his students,”
a colleague wrote. “He challenges them, but
also provides them with the tools of success.
Moreover, he always looks for the whole person.
I am often amazed how much John knows
about his students – not only which team
they play on, or their hometowns, but also
their interests beyond the classroom – family
relationships, etc. This genuine interest in them
and in their success makes him a sought-after
adviser and teacher for many of our majors.”
Another faculty member added, “Equally im-
pressive, John continues to develop fascinating
new courses that simultaneously draw on his
expertise and expand his horizons. In sum,
[he] is a DePauw treasure.”
Previous recipients of the Exemplary Teach-
ing Award are Tamara M. Beauboeuf, associate professor of education
studies and sociology; Terri Bonebright, associate professor of psychol-
ogy; Tom Chiarella, professor of English; John A. Dittmer, professor
emeritus of history; J. David Field, professor of English; Robert P.
Hershberger, associate professor of modern languages (Spanish); Craig
T. Paré, associate professor of music; Jacqueline R. Roberts, associate
professor of chemistry and biochemistry; Carl P. Singer, professor of
computer science; Andrea E. Sununu, professor of English; Valarie H.
Ziegler, professor of religious studies.

Cinergy grant will support educational programs
for the DePauw Nature Park
The Cinergy Foundation, the philanthropic arm of PSI Energy, Inc.,
awarded a $75,000 grant to support programs for DePauw University’s
Nature Park. The grant will enable the University to create new edu-
cational opportunities for Indiana students and community groups on
the 481-acre site.
DePauw will offer high school students a week-long environmental
science summer camp, which will be led by teams of DePauw faculty
members and undergraduate science students. The grant also will pro-
vide for collaborations with middle school and high school students on
research projects, Saturday science programs for school students, and
opportunities for community groups to enjoy guided tours and other
activities in the park.
“What we see this nature park doing is becoming, really, a statewide
resource so that teachers and students from around the state can come
and be educated on the importance of the environment in one of the

more beautiful natural settings, I think, in the state,” said Joe Hale,
president of the Cinergy Foundation.
Neal B. Abraham, executive vice president of the University, vice
president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, called the Cinergy
Foundation’s support “a major endorsement for the Nature Park and its
programs and DePauw’s goal of making community outreach a priority.
It was our intention all along to add that as part of our programming,
and so this allows us to do the things that link DePauw more closely to
the region and to the community.”
The DePauw Nature Park opened to the public in September 2004.
It includes 10 miles of trails that wind through the property and along
Big Walnut Creek, as well as outdoor classrooms and a small outdoor
amphitheater. Two buildings are already open – the Manning Envi-
ronmental Field Station and the Ian and Mimi Rolland Welcome and
Activities Center. The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics will be located
in the Nature Park.

DePauw climbs in all five
benchmarks in survey of
student engagement
DePauw students have an experience that is significantly more
challenging, stimulating, interactive and dynamic than students at
peer institutions and the national average at all colleges and universi-
ties, according to the 2005 National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE).
The seventh annual national study also finds that DePauw’s
benchmark scores have all climbed since 2001. The NSSE measures
five benchmarks: level of academic challenge, active and collaborative
learning, student-faculty interaction, enriching educational experiences
and supportive campus environment. DePauw placed in the top 10 per-
cent of all participating schools in terms of level of academic challenge,
student-faculty interaction and enriching educational experiences.
Among other findings, the study noted: at institutions like DePauw,
where faculty members use techniques such as class discussions and
frequent feedback, students are more satisfied and more likely to inter-
act with their teachers and peers. Also, the 54 percent of all first-year
students who took a first-year seminar were more likely to use campus
services, were more satisfied with college, and gained more in terms of
personal and social development. All new DePauw students participate
in the University’s first-year experience called depauw.year1.
Sponsored by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching, the report is based on information from approximately
237,000 first-year and senior students at 528 four-year colleges and
universities.
NSF grant supports
continuation of summer
student-faculty research
The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year grant of
$203,370 for continued support of Research Experiences for Under-
graduates, a summer student-faculty collaborative research program at
DePauw. It is one of the longest-running NSF-funded programs in the
country for student-faculty collaborative research projects.
Dave A. Berque, professor of computer science, and Scott M. Thede,
associate professor of computer science, will direct the program for
students from DePauw and other colleges for the summers of 2006,
2007 and 2008. Other DePauw faculty members will participate in
the summer programs as research project leaders and student research
supervisors.

1940 alumnus recalls the days of big band jazz at DePauw
Editor:
As a big band jazz
buff, I was particularly
interested to find in
The Jazz State of Indiana
that author Duncan
Schiedt, Pittsboro, Ind.,
included an eight-page
section about jazz ema-
nating from bands at DePauw in the 1920-30s. I never realized that
DePauw produced, as Schiedt avers, “such an astounding succession of
fine campus bands, attracting players from all over the state and the na-
tion.” As a member of the Class of 1940, I do remember one jazz band
– that of Joe McCartney’s – playing for fraternity and sorority dances,
as well as at the Double Decker, a popular campus hangout. My Phi
Delt roommate, Lyman “Bud” Cherry, played trumpet with his band,
and another brother, Gene Pennington, was an arranger.
The author cites that the Methodist tradition forbade any dancing
on the DePauw campus through the early 1920s, and that music being
heard was only at parties and sorority serenades. I well recall our sing-
ing at these serenades on moonlit nights, but we never had a band to
accompany us.
In his comprehensive tome about Indiana jazz, Schiedt includes much
material about Hoagy Carmichael and his days at Indiana University,
Bloomington, as well as mention of Jimmy Cathcart, whose I.U. band
played for our 1937 Phi Delta Theta spring formal dance. Jimmy and
his brother, Dick, left Indiana for California and became nationally
known jazz musicians.
Since students were not allowed to have cars, we walked to greater
downtown Greencastle to see a movie – at the Von Castle Theater. After
a show, we would enjoy a thick milkshake at Fleenor’s Drug Store. I was
surprised to learn that one DePauw band, Roy Wells’ Black and Gold
Collegians, was often featured in the pit at the Von Castle.
As a sign of the times, the photo of the Clair Hull DePauw band, circa
1929-30, courtesy of the author, shows the members wearing trench coats
á la Humphrey Bogart. It must have been shot on a typical April day in
Greencastle – during an era when collegiate men actually wore hats.
The book cites that “Hull, of LaPorte, spent a lot of time by the
piano at the Phi Delt house, practicing hot licks picked up from Bix
Beiderbecke and Red Nichols recordings.” I recall the night Bob Crosby
and his Bobcats, after playing a prom at Bowman Gymnasium, came over
to the Phi Delt house and jammed until the wee hours. Legendary jazz

pianist Bob Zurke accompanied equally legendary big band drummer Ray
Bauduc, sans drums, who stroked his wire brushes on a floor lamp shade.
As a freshman, I had to give up my bed to the 300-pound New Orleans
clarinetist, Irving Fazola. The mattress was never quite the same.
Another well-known big band played a DePauw dance: Ted Weems.
I remember going early to Bowman Gymnasium before the dance to
get autographs. Weems didn’t like the set-up and wanted the piano
moved to the other end of the gym. I still have the photograph of the
man who helped me move the piano as Weems asked us to do. I didn’t

dream at the time that my helper, a band vocalist and former barber,
would eventually have his own long-running television show with the
theme Dream Along with Me. It was the legendary Perry Como.
I arrived in Greencastle one year after Benny Goodman set the
country afire when ushering in the swing era at the Palomar Ballroom,
Los Angeles, August 1935. It was Let’s Dance for America from then
on. Back at the Phi Delta Theta house on Anderson St., Greencastle,
this meant dancing with our dates on weekends in a dimly lit den to
big band records on a RCA hi-fi player. When we danced to Tommy
Dorsey’s all-time hit Marie, it was for us – just as the chorus sang out
– living in a great big way!

sity Press of America – ISBN: 0-7618-3261-0). In Poeticized Culture, Hersh shows the John
Rawls’ perspective of liberal public reason, within which Rawls proposes his scheme of justice
as fairness, including his unacknowledged call for a Richard Rortian “poeticized culture.” Hersh
argues that Rawls’ framework demands a Rortian ironic perspective. Hersh is a professor of
philosophy at Salve Regina University.

 Securing Our Legacy
2006-2010

The Vision
We are a distinguished university and proud family, nationally recognized for
extraordinary effectiveness in linking liberal arts education with life’s work.
DePauw intellectually challenges students and inspires them to lead and to
serve in an increasingly diverse and rapidly changing world. The value of
the DePauw experience is reflected in the remarkable loyalty and passion
DePauw engenders and in the uncommon success of our graduates.

 The Plan

D
By Larry G. Anderson ePauw University is launching a five-year strategic plan called Securing Our
–Editor
Legacy. The plan is based upon the premise that we – all of us in the DePauw

community – have a responsibility to continue to strengthen DePauw as a

leading national liberal arts university that prepares its students to make a positive difference

in the world. That is our legacy.

What “legacy” did you receive from DePauw?

Whenever DePauw alumni get together, the conversation inevitably turns to reflections about how the
DePauw experience has had a lifelong impact on their personal lives and careers.
DePauw Magazine invites alumni to share stories and anecdotes about what you consider to be the “legacy”
you received from DePauw. Depending upon space availability, DePauw Magazine will print as many “legacy”
stories as possible in future issues.
To share your DePauw “legacy,” send your letter to Larry Anderson, Editor, DePauw Magazine, 300 E.
Seminary St., P.O. Box 37, Greencastle, IN 46135-0037 or send an e-mail to landersn@depauw.edu.

13
 Led by the Strategic Planning Task Force of the Board of Trustees (see list of members
on page 21), members of our community – trustees, administrators and faculty members
– completed a strategic planning process to identify key initiatives that will build on DePauw’s
historic strengths. This process connected those strengths with three major goals:

1.
To provide an outstanding learning and living environment that encourages

academic excellence and the formation of intellectual communities:

Through Academic Engagement

DePauw is building on a legacy of academic excellence and engagement in the learning
process to increase student eagerness for intellectual development. We want to encourage
students to spend more time reading, writing, and thinking to develop their skills; engaging
fellow students and faculty members in discussion; and sustaining their commitment to their
academic best.
A cornerstone of the DePauw experience is a low student-to-faculty ratio (10-to-1 in 2005-06),
which ensures our legacy of personalized interaction. Small first-year seminars foster the early
academic engagement of our newest students. We then help every student take full advantage

of interaction with their professors and opportunities in research, independent projects, senior
theses and internships. We are reaping the benefits of our significant investment in a high-
caliber and greater number of faculty members and a commitment to maintaining salaries at
a competitive level to retain them. The number of DePauw faculty members has grown from


167 in 1998-99 to 229 in 2005-06.
“Academic engagement” further means that students integrate the rich variety of speakers,
symposia, cultural and artistic opportunities available on campus with their coursework and
scholarly interests. To ensure that we attract the kind of student who is prepared to capitalize
on these opportunities, we will build on the tradition of the Rector and Holton Scholarships to
attract the best high school graduates from throughout Indiana, across the country and around
the world. (For students entering DePauw in fall 2005, the median high school class rank was
in the top 9 percent.)

15
 Resources needed to implement the strategic plan
In order to implement the plan for Securing Our Legacy, DePauw University, the Board of Trustees and administra-
tion will direct resources in strategic ways that align with the goals and initiatives within the plan. The development
and alumni relations staff members of the University will work under the guidance of the Trustees’ Development and
Alumni Relations Committee to meet the following goals:

• Increase the Annual Fund from $4.5 million to $6.8 million in five years.

 Through the Creative and Performing Arts
DePauw’s legacy is one in which the liberal arts curriculum is complemented by a dynamic
environment for the creative and performing arts. Part of what distinguishes DePauw is the
richness that artistic endeavor and appreciation brings to our community and to the lives of
our graduates. Superior programs in the creative and performing arts have produced artists,
musicians, creative writers and generations of graduates whose lives were enriched by arts study
at DePauw.

Recent investments in additional teaching facilities, galleries and spaces constructed solely
for the creation of art enhance each student’s opportunity for creative expression. The Richard
E. Peeler Art Center and William Weston Clarke Emison Museum of Art provide uncommon
opportunities for students and faculty members. We have tripled the number of creative writers
among the faculty members – many of them award winners; we have doubled the number of

To prepare students to make a positive difference in the diverse and

interconnected world in which they will live and work:

Through a Diverse Learning Community

We firmly believe that a variety of experiences and viewpoints adds to the richness of the intel-
lectual fabric of our community; that is, we learn best in a community of diverse ideas, cultural
backgrounds and perspectives.
When students interact with a widely diverse group of peers and teachers, they acquire inter-
national and multicultural perspectives
and decision-making skills essential
to making a positive contribution to a

Through Ethics and Moral Reflection Prindle Institute for
Ethics.
We want to expand opportunities to engage students in thoughtful, interdisciplinary dis-
cussions of the ethical challenges of life, work and citizenship. DePauw faculty members have
traditionally asked students to consider larger societal issues in their studies.
New program opportunities will enhance this inquiry. The Janet Prindle Institute for Eth-
ics will foster thoughtful interdisciplinary examination of ethical issues, including questions
of justice and policy, character, duty and responsibility. Preparation for citizenship and active
participation in one’s community requires that students identify and analyze moral and ethical
dimensions of issues that may be of personal, national or international importance. In addition
to moral reflection, we encourage students to develop lifelong habits of community service and
philanthropy to support making our world a better place.

To cultivate alumni loyalty through lifelong engagement:

Through Value-Based Programs

The University recognizes that without alumni help, the remarkable progress DePauw has
made so far simply would not have been possible. Given limited resources, alumni support must
be credited for making DePauw values available to the next generation of DePauw students.
DePauw encourages alumni to share
their time and wisdom through a variety
of programs that offer social interaction,
educational opportunities and network-
ing. Many alumni are actively involved
with the University, attending programs
in their local communities and return-
ing to campus for special events and
reunions.

hanced by efforts to expand DePauw

 Securing Our Legacy
Our goals for the next five years build on DePauw’s foundational strengths of fostering in-

tellectual excellence, building community, valuing diversity and encouraging personal growth.

We are extending the University’s history of academic quality using new and familiar tools to

invigorate the learning environment. Opportunities for students and faculty and staff members

are exceptional. Now is the time to advance our ambitious plans for improved academic engage-

ment, new and exciting programs, and a first-rate physical plant to support DePauw’s tradition

of educational leadership. This preparation and commitment is vital to Securing Our Legacy.

DAA Board. The mission of the ACAC is to influence and promote positive change in the policies and procedures at DePauw University in order
to ensure equity and educational opportunity.
The Coming Together program provides a way for alumni of color to visit campus, interact with current students and engage each other to stay
involved with DePauw. There are many exciting things occurring at DePauw. ACAC wants to share the developments with everyone.
The weekend is packed with fun activities:
• Bowling Challenge – alumni vs. students
