1977—Cassel Grubb becomes acting director during White’s sabbatical leave

Grubb was appointed permanent director the next year. As director, Grubb strived for a balanced student population of instrumentalists and vocalists. Grubb recalls having a good relationship with the faculty, all of whom possessed a “one-mindedness to make to the school the best it could be,” and high expectations and standards for the students. He resigned from deanship in 1987.
