What the Deans Say about the Luce Professorship
			Oberlin is ideally suited for the Luce position, says Clayton Koppes, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, "because of its rich traditions of arts education. Oberlin's world-class conservatory and Allen Memorial Art Museum, its nationally recognized programs in art history and studio art, creative writing, theater and dance, and its student artistic initiatives and collaborations in all of the musical, fine and performing arts," Koppes says, "are unmatched by any other American college and equaled by few universities." "The Luce Professorship will enable Oberlin faculty and students to lead in the creation of a new artistic language for the 21st century," says Karen Wolff, dean of the Conservatory of Music. "This language will reflect the converging styles, cultures, art forms, and technologies of our time. The prospects are exciting."
