History
Although music classes were offered at Princeton University prior to 1935, the department was not formalized until 1935 under Roy Dickinson Welch, the first director of the Program in Music, a special section established under the Department of Art and Archaeology. The Program in Music became a Department, with Welch as the chair, in 1945.
