Abstract
This study is a history of the department of music education at the University of Kansas from 1947-1955. Sources include:
(1) books and journal articles pertaining to the subject matter; (2) theses and dissertations containing related material; (3) material from the University of Kansas Archives in Spencer Research Library;
(4) material from the Department of Art and Music Education and Music Therapy at the University of Kansas; and (5) oral evidence from persons with primary knowledge of important events.
E. Thayer Gaston was chairman of the music education department within these years, and the study is an analysis of his influence on the people and events these years contained. Events discussed include the faculty members' busy schedule of professional travel, the expansion and upgrading of the undergraduate and graduate degree programs, the relationship of the departments of music education and music, and the School of Education's move into Bailey Hall.
The study contains information on Gaston's critical role in an event of international importance: the founding of the graduate music therapy program at the University of Kansas. The study also contains information on the expansion of the faculty and a brief profile of the faculty members themselves.
