Abstract
This chapter examines the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts' formative years. By early 1956, The Juilliard School of Music had become the favored candidate to provide music instruction at the Center, although there was hardly unanimous support in this regard. Later that year, the basic educational principles of the Center were coming into shape, suggesting the development of “a unique form of training.” It was also recommended that no academic degrees be awarded at the end of the educational process. In addition to such artistic issues, John D. Rockefeller 3rd and his colleagues grappled with how the Center's management should function. With their work on the architectural, fundraising, financial, personnel, and slum clearance components moving forward, the Exploratory Committee and the board of the Lincoln Center set about to create a grand public groundbreaking.
