Program for the fifteenth annual Festival of Music and Fine Arts, held over four days at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, from April 19-22, 1944. According to the program foreword, the year's festival was organized around the theme of "Educating for the World Community" in part as "an attempt to understand the mechanical, social, artistic and religious bases of the World Community and to prepare students more effectively to meet the needs of our time." It was held that year in dedication to the memory of Robert Ezra Park, a sociologist and professor at Fisk University who had died two months before on February 7, 1944. The program contains a calendar of each day's events, which included seminar lectures, musical performances, a concert featuring tenor Roland Hayes, art exhibits, a stage production of the 17th-century opera Dido and Aeneas, a dance recital, a folk festival of world dance presented by Fisk's physical education department, and a concert by the Fisk University Choir. Included throughout are the names of the festival's various speakers, participants, and performers, including Rockwell Kent, who delivered the comment on an exhibition of his work.
