The purpose, as described by faculty member Irving Fineman who conceived the idea for the symposium, was "a series of meetings at each of which the most modern developments and tendencies in some one of the arts (architecture, painting, music, drama, dance, poetry and prose, etc) will be discovered and considered. There is no preconceived idea of the ultimate conclusions; but it is expected that certain analogous tendencies among the several arts (as well as perhaps antithetical intentions) will reveal themselves."enSymposium on Modernism in the Arts
