allied arts

While the definition of humanities is, of necessity, fairly vague, the definition of allied arts is clearer. The allied arts, as has been stated earlier, are a category within the broad scope of humanistic studies. The allied arts course is concerned with the study of such specific areas as music, literature, the fine arts, mass communication and dance.

[The Committee on Allied Arts] hopes that the Committee on Publicity and the Journal of the Institute may be instructed to spread abroad, as a fundamental Institute principle, the belief that sympathetic, intelligent collaboration among the allied arts is, and always has been, the only sure road to a worthy architecture in any age or any land.
