wednesday, June 4
My dear Members of the University Senate,

You will never know how much I appreciate the resolution that
you had read to your group, then mailed to me. They have meant a
great deal to me and my family. Thank you so very much.

Daddy lived for the University of Kentucky where he spent the
greater part of his life and I know he would have cherished the
thought of the scholarship set up for him, so that a student might
be educated at U of K. We do hope that this fund will become active
soon and we understand that the donations are still coming in.

Thank you for thinking of my father and the bereavement all of
the family now have.

Sincerely yours,

advanced education and both his doctorate level degrees at the University
of Michigan. He joined the University of Kentucky faculty in 1964 and
served four years as an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology. In 1968 he
was appointed Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Oral
Biology, a position he held until his death.

Don's style of life was unusual in that he managed to combine
vigorous activity with an outstanding degree of sensitivity toward his I?
fellow man. He was deeply involved in contemporary problems, some pro— ‘”7
fessional, some social but all very human. This penchant for human
association began with his home life where, as the father of five young
children, he gave generously of his talents and wisdom.

 

Those of us who worked with him will remember Don as a man who
practiced religion in its highest sense. His convictions, quite typically,
moved him to assume the responsibilities of Director of Sunday School at
{ Gethsemane Lutheran Church, and to become an important and functioning
member of that organization in many other respects.

  

e ’m
€1fi" Don's career activities were such that his loss will be felt by

7 medical and dental faculties throughout the world. His teaching activities,

l publications and contributions to professional organizations were so

I diversified as to touch almost every facet of professional life. To mention
only a sample, he served on a Training Grants Committee for the National
Institutes of Health, a Formulary Committee for the Commonwealth and an
Advisory Board for the Addiction Research Center. He conducted two major
courses in the College of Dentistry while serving as occasional lecturer
in many others throughout the medical center, yet, despite all this, he
found time for administration, research and student counseling.

l
(
{ It is with a deep sense of loss that we, his colleagues in the College
{ of Dentistry, submit this resolution as an expression of sympathy for Don's
( family and in appreciation of his service to this institution.
1 On behalf of the College of Agriculture, Dr. Robert W. Rudd presented a

a; resolution on the death of Mr. B. Russell Robertson, Extension Marketing Specialist,
43. ,— as follows:

 

( B. Russell Robertson, Extension Marketing Specialist, died suddenly
of a heart attack on September 3, 1971. He came to the University on

i September 1, 1957 to develop an extension marketing program for fruits and

( vegetables. Since that date, Mr. Robertson developed and conducted extension
marketing programs with milk, grain, fruit and vegetable marketing firms and

l producers. He worked extensively throughout Kentucky with farm organizations,

I marketing cooperatives, and agribusiness firms in solving their problems.
Moreover, Mr. Robertson was active in extension consumer economics education

programs in recent years.

Mr. Robertson was born in New York on May 3, 1911. He received a mar—
keting certificate from Cornell University in 1935, the B.S degree in 1953,
and the M.S degree in 1956 from the University of Maryland, and did
further graduate work at the same institution.

 

11.1%i- .

Prior to coming to Kentucky, Mr. Robertson had conducted dairy and
vegetable farming operations in New York. He was also associated with
business operations in New York and Florida.

 Minutes of the University Senate, October 11, 1971 — cont

Mr. Robertson was instrumental in the growth and development of
several major agricultural marketing cooperatives. All Kentucky fruit
and vegetable and dairy cooperatives looked to "Russ” for educational
assistance and guidance. His expertise in cooperative organization and
management was well known throughout this region of the country. Those
cooperatives based in neighboring states and serving Kentucky farmers also
relied on his expertise and advice. He played a major educational role
in the reorganization and merger of local dairy cooperatives into a large
regional cooperative serving several states.

Mr. Robertson was widely acclaimed in extension marketing groups.
He served on the Southeastern Dairy Marketing Committee, the Southeastern
Extension Marketing Committee, and was Executive Program Advisor to the
National Produce Market Managers Association. He was past Chairman and
Regional Director of the Dairymen's League Cooperative and was President of
the Midwestern Extension Consumer Education Association. Mr. Robertson
frequently conducted a wide variety of workshops and educational programs
with extension groups and firms in various states throughout the country.
He published a number of articles on extension marketing subjects.

Regardless of location, Mr. Robertson was always active in community
affairs. Over the years, he has served on local school boards and on the
boards of several farm organizations.

Mr. Robertson was held in high regard by his colleagues and his
extension clientele. His integrity and honesty were well known to all.
He was always completely frank and honest in his appraisal of problems and
never compromised his programs or recommendations for expediency. He will
be sorely missed by his colleagues and clientele.

The faculty of the College of Agriculture wishes to express to Mrs.
Robertson and her daughters, Mrs. Robert Wakefield (Carole) and Mrs. Robert
Curry (Sharon), their deep sympathy and their feeling of mutual sorrow in
this loss.

The Senate stood for a moment of silence in respect to Dr. Knapp and Mr.
Robertson and in acceptance of the resolutions.

The Senate approved the waiver of the ten-day circulation rule in order
to consider the proposal for organization and procedures to be followed
concerning Summer Sessions at the University. This proposal had been circulated
to the faculty under date of October 6, 1971. Dr. Ockerman then presented a
motion to approve the pattern of organization for the Summer Sessions and the
calendars for the four and six week terms, as circulated.

Motion was made to amend the last sentence under 3. of the circulation, to
change the number of credit hours in Summer Session work from seven (7) to nine
(9). This motion was defeated.

Motion was then made to amend that same sentence to allow a student on academic
probation to take a maximum of three (3) credit hours in the Four—week Session;
five (5) credit hours in the Six—week Session; or seven (7) credit hours in the
Eight—week SESSiOH, or any combination of the Six and Eight—week Sessions. The
Senate approved this amendment. The Senate then approved the original motion,
as amended. The organization and procedures concerning Summer Sessions at the
University Of Kentucky, as amended and approved, will be codified in the Rules
9f_the University Senate (Revised and Updated May,l97l)~as follows:

The practice of submitting midterm grades was discontinued for a
period of one year by action of the University Senate on January 12, 1970.
Evaluation of the deletion of midterm grades was requested of the Under—

graduate Council by Fall, 1971.

On September 13, 1971 all faculty and members of the Senate were asked to
communicate to the chairman of the Undergraduate Council in writing any reasons
of which they were aware why midterm grades should be reinstated.

Minutes of the University Senate, October 11, 1971 — cont

Fourteen responses were received. Seven of these requested that
midterm grades be reinstated because students need to know before the
end of the term how well or how poorly they are performing in their
courses. The need for early assessment is particularly acute in the €rfl%
case of freshmen, in the opinion of most of these respondents. The
midterm grade mechanism was seen as a means of requiring early evaluation
and communication of results.

\,‘6

.
#‘h‘ i. nay—— 4. ..
‘Es'k‘

An almost equal number of responses indicated that the practice
of requiring midterm grades is without value and should not be resumed.

(Two persons suggested that controlled studies be carried out which
would answer the question whether midterm grades make a difference in
students' academic progress, so that a decision could be made on a more r
rational basis.) ;

The Undergraduate Council took all these responses into consideration
in its deliberations on the matter of resuming the submission of midterm 1
grades. It was heartily agreed that students —— particularly freshmen —— ‘MA
need and deserve early and regular evaluation and communication regarding ;Q7W
the results of evaluation. It was also concluded, however, that requiring
midterm grades was unlikely to achieve this end. Indeed, one of the
arguments for their temporary discontinuation in the first place was the
extent to which individuals met the letter rather than the spirit of the
rule through use of the "blanket" grade and other evasions. The fact that
only seven persons out of a faculty of well over 1,000 responded to a I
request for justifications to resume midterm grades suggests that if the l
practice were to be reinstated, conformity again would be more to the
letter than to the spirit, since few persons express (in writing, to the ‘
Council, at least) reasons for it. [

Incidentally, among those seven proponents of resumption of the [
rule, one was a dean, one an acting dean, one an assistant to a dean, {
and one a vice president. It is the teaching faculty who would be
responsible for executing the rule. Their motivation for doing so appears

to be in scant supply. «1%
a“
l

The Undergraduate Council therefore recommends that the practice
of submitting midterm grades be permanently discontinued. At the same
time, the Council recognizes the need for early and regular evaluation
of students' academic performance, and for early and regular communication
of those results, especially in the case of freshmen. we therefore take
the occasion to urge the University of Kentucky faculty to discharge this
responsibility for the sake of the academic well—being of their students
and for the sake of their own development as instructors. j

In the meantime, if any among you can devise a rule which will
legislate morality in this particular area of academic society, please
give the Undergraduate Council the benefit of your wisdom.

Minutes of the University Senate, October 11, 1971 — cont

 

3251

The University Senate unanimously approved the recommendation to discontinue
permanently the practice of suhmitting mid—term gradeS, which was a part of
the preceding report.

Dr. Staley Adams, Secretary of the Senate Council, presented a recommendation
that the University Senate recommend to the Board of Trustees, through the President,
the abolishment of all schools in the College of Arts and Sciences except the
School of Communications and the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences.
The Senate approved this recommendation. (This proposal had been circulated to
the faculty under date of September 27, 1971.)

Dr. Adams presented the following resolution and recommended its acceptance
for transmittal to the Board of Trustees through the President of the University.
This resolution had been circulated to the faculty under date of September 30, 1971.

BE IT RESOLVED that the University Senate of the University of
Kentucky affirms its wholehearted support of the efforts of
President Otis A. Singletary to retain the Community College
System within the University of Kentucky. The President is
encouraged to sponsor those improvements in.the System which
he and his advisors deem desirable to enable the community
colleges to more adequately fulfill their manifold roles both
locally and in the State.

Motion was made to amend the last sentence to remove the words "more adequately".
Another Senator stated that he would prefer to substitute the words ”continue to
fulfill their manifold roles ." The Senator making the amendment agreed to
this change. The Senate then disapproved the amendment as changed.

A motion was presented to amend the last sentence of the resolution to read:

The President is encouraged to sponsor those improvements in the System
which he, his advisors, and the Community College Senate deem desirable

to enable the community colleges to more adequately fulfill their manifold
roles both locally and in the State."

The Senate approved this amendment.

The Senate then approved the resolution as presented, and amended, for presentation
to the Board of Trustees through President Singletary.

The Chairman reported that there had been no objections raised to the revised
procedures for processing courses and programs which had been circulated to the
faculty under date of September 27, 1971; therefore, these revised procedures were
effective with this meeting, are made a part of these minutes, and will be included
in the next updating of the University Senate Rules.

Section I. C. 2. Graduate Council, second full paragraph, page 9, change to

read:

The Graduate Council shall have only the authority and responsi—
