Abstract
The fine arts were introduced into the curriculum of American universities by two scientists who have other claims to fame, Joseph Henry and Samuel F. B. Morse. Over a century ago Henry lectured on architecture in Princeton and Morse on “The Literature of the Arts of Design” in New York University. The next institution to admit the subject was the University of Vermont, whose catalogue of 1853 offered lectures on “The Principles of the Fine Arts” by the Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, the Reverend Joseph Torrey. The fourth was the University of Michigan, where Alvah Bradish was Professor of the Theory and Practice of the Fine Arts from 1852 to 1863.
