fiinutes of the University faculty - Feb. 14, 1944

M Dean Boyd. presented a nrepared statement to the Faculty, the major ;
emphasis of which was to the point that all of the benefits claimed for
; the proposed University College had been or could be obtained under the
existing organization. Dean Cooner inquired as to whether Dean Boyd's
l statement might be made available to other members of the faCulty. It
was the understanding that Dean Boyd would have the renort mimeogranhed
‘ and ready for distribution at the next meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘ Dean Boyd then submitted the following motion as a substitute for
[ the motion for adoption made by Dr. White:

 

 

 

 

l "The University Faculty wishes to express its annroval

3 of the work with freshmen that has been developed in the University
Personnel Office and the Office of the Assistant Dean of the College

> of Arts and Sciences. This work has been organized on sound bases

' for effective personnel and guidance service and should be extended

q._ and perfected. We reouest that the Rules Committee study the

! report of the cemmittee on the Lower Division Program, especially

i

l

 

 

 

 

page 7, with a View to recommending changes in our Faculty rules
that will effect desirable improvements."

Dean Boyd's motion was seconded by W. F. Gallaway. Assistant Dean
White then replied to the statement by Dean Boyd. In this reply he

I read from certain writings by Dean Boyd, with a view to nointing out
that Dean Boyd had long been in favor of most of the objectives claimed
by the Committee for the University College.

 

Professor E. F. Farquhar spoke in opposition to the report of the
Committee. He suggested a council of deans as an instrument for the
accomplishment of the objectives sought by the committee.

 

The Secretary distributed to the members of the FaCulty a mimeo-
graphed report of an analysis of the programs submitted by ten graduates
in each of six curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences. He
suggested that this information had a bearing on the degree to which
students can and do obtain a general or liberal education in the four
major areas of the social studies, the humanities. physical sciences
and biological sciences, and the extent to which counselling in this
direction has been effective.

Minutes of the University Faculty - February 21, 1944

The University Faculty met in special session in the Assembly
Room of Lafferty Hall Monday, February 21, at 4 p.m. President Donovan
presided. Members absent were A° E. Bigge, B. E. Brewer, H. B. Price,
Carsie Hammonds, Maurice F. Seay, Thomas P. Cooper, and James H. Graham.

The minutes of February 14 were read and approved.

President Donovan called for discussion and action on the substitute
motion made by Dean Boyd at the previous meeting of the Faculty. Assistant
Dean White thereupon read the following statement for the Committee on
the Lower Division Program of the University:

"The Committee to Study the Lower Division Program of
the University would like to make a request.

A mere majority of the votes of the University Faculty
is sometimes insufficient approval of an educational policy to
justify its attempted operation. Especially is this true when
the body giving such approval is a new one whose very existence is
the consequence of the earnest desire of the President to spread
the responsibility of policy making in the University. The
success of any educational policy depends upon a united front.
Its operations must not bring recriminations. The era of good
feeling based upon mutual confidence existing in the University
cannot cease if this body or this University is to do more than
merely exist.

To assume the serious resnonsibility of either the failure
of the proposed plan in execution because of lack of cooperation
or the more grave responsibility of dividing this body into
subgroups is more than this committee would undertake. The
committee is of the opinion that its assumption of such responu
sibilities at this time is unnecessary. It has been alleged that
