History

Part of the Russell Fine Arts Center. The Recital Hall is named for Dr. Fred Harwood, a classically trained violinist, who became the director of Henderson's music department in 1913. For the next 33 years Harwood and his wife, Dora Sellard, also a violinist, taught music, piano, violin, composition, and orchestra. During his early years at Henderson, he received 50 percent of the fees paid by piano students, making him the highest earning employee on campus.
