Albert Dennis Kirwan

Albert Dennis Kirwan, Professor of History, spent his distinguished
career in furthering education in Kentucky where he lived all of his
life. He was born in Louisville on December 22, 1904. He attended
the Louisville schools and the University of Kentucky where he re-
ceived his bachelor's degree in 1926. For the next decade he taught

Minutes of the University Senate, December 13, 1971 — cent

and coached football in Louisville Manual and Male high schools. During
that time he earned the bachelor of law degree in the Jefferson School
of Law. He returned in 1938 to the University of Kentucky where for

six years he was head football coach. With a master's degree in history
from the University of Louisville, he entered the Graduate School of
Duke University which in 1947 conferred upon him the doctor of philosophy 1‘
degree. Dr. Kirwan returned again to the University of Kentucky as "
Associate Professor of History and Dean of Men. In 1955 he resigned

as Dean of Students to teach full time in history. By 1960 when the

University called him again to serve in an administrative position,

three books and several articles had established him as a leading

authority in the history of the South and the American Middle period.

Dr. Kirwan served as Dean of the Graduate School between 1960—1966,

a time of spectacular growth whether measured by enrollment, financial

support, or numbers and improved quality of graduate programs. Yet his

own scholarly research continued. His biography of John J. Crittenden

won the Hallam Prize, the Sydnor prize of the Southern Historical _
Association, and recognition from the Civil War Book Club and the ‘ .1
History Book Club. When he returned full time to the History Depart— 1
ment in 1966 he looked forward eagerly to teaching and writing. But
the University would need him once more. During 1968—1969 he served
in the difficult role of acting president at a time when aCademic
life generally was filled with uncertainties, was confronted with
demands for change, and when the University of Kentucky in particular
had to defend itself (successfully) in the notorious Main Chance
case. The importance to the University of the steadying presence of
Ab Kirwan and his wonderful wife Betty at Maxwell Place during that
year cannot be overvalued. The Board of Trustees, with the undoubted
approval of the University community and the peOple of Kentucky, re—
cognized that service by conferring full presidential status upon him
as the seventh president of the University.

 

When he resumed his professorship of History in 1969 Dr. Kirwan
expected to enjoy six uninterrupted years of teaching and scholarship
before retirement. He specifically requested the opportunity to
teach freshmen. He resumed work on a biography of Henry Clay. The
semester's leave of absence to which he was entitled as Distinguished
Professor of the College of Arts and Sciences, 1967—68, was still owing
to him, and he planned to take it during the spring semester, 1972,
to work on the Clay biography.

He was thus looking ahead to new achievements when he died
suddenly on November 30, 1971. If he had not paused to look back—
wards over his illustrious career, we may mention some of the honors
accorded to him during the career just sketched. He was an outstanding
athlete in football and track. Best known in the 1930's as a
successful high school football coach in Louisville, he valued just as
highly his work as a teacher of history. His football teams at the
University of Kentucky compiled a very creditable record, especially
considering the level of support given football at that time. As a
scholar he was author of two well—received books, joint author of
another, editor of three books, and a contributor to two others. Among
many academic assignments he was chairman of the University of
Kentucky Press Committee, chairman for six years of the Rules In—
fractions Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association,

and in several ways was involved in the supervision and study of

graduate education in the United States. He was a member of

Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, and three historical associations.
He was a Guggenheim Fellow and a Fulbright Lecturer at the University

of Vienna. Within the University, he won an Alumni Research Award

and an Alumni Teaching award. He was Hallam Professor of History,
1967—1969, and Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences, 1967—68.

His name is listed in the Hall of Distinguished Alumni of the University
of Kentucky.

These are matters of written record. In the record of our
memories he was a strong, gentle, tolerant man. Love for people
was the theme of his life. As a football coach, a classroom teacher,
Dean of Students, Dean of the Graduate School, and President of the
University, he enjoyed a unique variety of relationships with students;
he knew students well, and he loved them. Each time he returned to
full time teaching it was with the expectation of being free to give
himself fully to students.

Though he did not seek out the administrative positions which
took him away from the classroom, in each of these positions he
saw opportunities of serving the University and the students. That
was why he enjoyed every responsibility the University placed upon
him. His love for people was limitless; it was this great love that
made his life so useful and so happy and enriched the lives of all
of us.

Mr. Scott Wendelsdorf presented the following motion to amend the

University Senate Rules, page 41, Section III: 2. Requirements for
Graduation ——

”To be eligible for any degree, a student must have completed
the requirements as approved by the University Senate, except
that curriculum substitutions may be made by the college
affected if not inconsistent with these Rules. Curriculum
requirements must include, in addition to specified credits,

a specified grade point average which shall in no case be less
than 2.0. . . .

"The General Studies Component in every baccalaureate degree
program shall consist of not more than five (5) areas of study
chosen by the student from the following eight (8) areas:

(1) Mathematics—Philosophy

(2) Physical Sciences

(3) Biological Sciences

(4) Foreign Languages

(5) Humanities: Literature, Art and Music
(6) History

(7) Social Sciences

(8) Behavioral Sciences"

Dr. Stanford Smith seconded the motion.

Following an explanation of the reasons for the proposed amendment, Mr.
Wendelsdorf yielded the floor to Dr. Staley Adams, Secretary of the

Senate Council. On behalf of the Senate Council, Dr. Adams presented the

a following friendly amendment to Mr. Wendelsdorf's proposed amendment. This
€53?“ proposed amendment to the amendment had been handed to the Senators as they
“7: entered the meeting:

”The General Studies Component in every baccalaureate degree

program shall consist of not more than five (5) — (the exact . '
number to be determined by each college) areas of study chosen '
by the student from the following eight (8) areas:

(1) Mathematics — Philosophy

(2) Physical Sciences

(3) Biological Sciences

(4) Foreign Languages

(5) Humanities: Literature, Art and Music
(6) History

(7) Social Sciences

(8) Behavioral Sciences

 

"The Rules shall be waived only to the extent that they are
inconsistent with certification or accreditation requirements.”

Dr. Adams stated that it should be noted that this proposal from the Senate
Council encompasses both the proposed change by the forwarding group and
adds two important amendments, that of the college determining the exact

[ number to five, and also the waiver, whenever required, for certification

 

and accreditation requirements; that there are both colleges and de-
partments that have certain requirements which would not fit this rule.

1 The motion was seconded.

Following discussion in which Senators pointed out that there are problems
of required courses for majors, Dr. Stanford Smith requested a division

of the question and that the Senate vote on the amendment in two sections:
., (l) on the question of whether the student has a choice and (2) on the

-A—‘ question of the number of areas. He stated that he had sought the judgment
‘ « of the Parliamentarian who had ruled that this request was not debatable,
not amendable and did not require the prior decision of the Chairman.

 

 

This request of Dr. Smith's was seconded.

A Senator raised a point of order that the only thing being discussed was
the amendment to the amendment and not the original amendment. The
Chairman ruled that the original amendment was being discussed since the
initial proposer, Mr. Wendelsdorf, had accepted the amendment as presented
by Dr. Adams; thus, the only amendment then on the floor and under dis—
cussion was Dr. Adam's proposed amendment which Dr. Smith had requested

be divided into two sections to be voted on separately.

Following extensive discussions both for and against the question of
(Egg! student choice, Dr. William Plucknett offered the following substitute
i a motion to the amendment:

\

that the status guo on General Studies requirements be maintained
1 for the spring semester, 1972; that each undergraduate college

Dr. Rea raised the question of implementation date for the approved change.

At this point a point of order was raised that the Senate had not voted

on the amendment as amended. The Parliamentarian stated that the Senate

had already voted on it. A Senator responded that they should have had a
choice of also being permitted to cast a vote ”for at least five”, a

motion which Dr. Stanford Smith had proposed earlier in the meeting and,

as a result of discussion which followed, had, with the consent of the
seconder, withdrawn from the floor. During the confusion that this generated _
the Chairman asked for a vote on the amendment as amended and the Senate [
approved it. ‘

Dr. Ockerman spoke to the question of implementation date and stated that
we are past the deadline in all academic areas for inclusion in the next
issue of the General Catalog and if it is expected that this would be

included in the next issue, it would delay its issuance into the late ,

MEMORANDUM

TO: Members, University Senate
FROM: Scott Wendelsdorf, Senator
SUBJECT: Clarification of Agenda Item for Senate Meeting, December 13, 1971

Proposing Change in the Senate Rules Regarding the General Studies
Component

‘ It has become apparent that several Senators have misinterpreted the
proposed amendment to change the General Studies Component. After re-examining
the motion, I tend to agree that seme ambiguity is present.

I Corrective amendments will be offered from the floor, but I would like
to explain briefly the intent behind the motion.

Presently, every baccalaureate degree program must include a General
Studies Component consisting of at least 5 of 8 areas of study, (1) Mathematics~
Philosophy, (2) Physical Sciences, (3) Biological Sciences, (4) Foreign
Languages, (5) Humanities: Literature, Art and Music, (6) History, 'h'
(7) Social Sciences, (8) Behavioral Sciences. Each college now decides
both how many of the 8 areas a student must take and which areas he or she
must take e.g. the Arts and Sciences language requirement. Under the amendment
this will be changed. Under this proposal, two things will happen: (1) each
college.will be able to require no more than 5 of the 8 areas of study for
graduation; (2) most importantly, Egg student, not the college, will choose
which areas she or he will take to satisfy the requirement. In short, while
the present rule allows the college to determine both how many and which of
the 8 areas of study a student must take, the amendment will allow the college
to choose only the number of areas required (but not more than S) and the student
will determine which areas. A student may take a greater number of areas than
required by the college but not less. Colleges determine number 9: areas.
Stgdents determine which areas.
