Schwab Auditorium
Proscenium arch
In 1961 the University decided to invite two or three well-known persons to speak each year. The Lecture Series (now known as the University's Distinguished Speaker's Series) became part of the Artists Series and invited speakers including politicians, educators, and artists.
Housed in Schwab Auditorium and later Pine Cottage, the Artists Series presented the majority of its programs in Schwab Auditorium, with larger
orchestras, musicals, and some dance in the Recreation Hall. In 1974 the University opened the doors to its new University Auditorium, later renamed the Milton S. Eisenhower Auditorium. The Artists Series moved the majority of its performances to the new auditorium, which allowed the expansion of its programs. These new programs included Broadway musicals, more family shows, expanded educational activities, and more.
