Minutes of the University Senate, December 11, 1967 (con't)

Charles Ernest Snow
(1910—1967)

Chuck Snow was born 57 years ago in Boulder, Colorado, and if any
influence can be singled out as shaping his life it is the mountains where
he Spent his early years. There he acquired a love and respect for the
ruggedness of nature; all his life he remained oriented toward the out—of“
doors. He was proud to tell that when he climbed Pikes Peak as a boy, he
was the youngest on record to walk to the top. The mountains made him self—
sufficient, a do—it—yourself man, and a resilient one.

He never lost contact with Colorado, nor with his family whose deep
roots still remain there. From his father, a professional photographer in
Boulder for 50 years, Chuck inherited a desire to record nature on film;
and his favorite pictures were of the mountains he knew as a boy. In later
life he returned to teach at two National Science Foundation Summer Institutes
in Anthropology at the University of Colorado. On his several trips west
from Kentucky he would stop each time to renew his sense of the mountains.

He attended the University of Colorado where his undergraduate work was .
ifi geology. When he went east to Cambridge his focus of interest shifted
from nature to people. His A.M. degree from Harvard was in anthropology;
further specializing at Harvard, he received the Ph.D. degree in physical
anthropology in 1938.

The direction in which his professional work would take him began with
his position as anthropometrist, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and then as
anthropologist with the Alabama Museum of Natural History. He came to the
University of Kentucky in 1942 as instructor, and by 1946 had been advanced
to professor. From 1952—1957 he served as Head of the Department of
Anthropology. At his death he was Professor of Anatomy and Physical Anthropology
in the College of Medicine.

His early research at Kentucky was centered around quantitative measurements
of skeletal remains, and, from these data, the classification and partial
identification of settlers in the early centuries A.D. As anthropologist for
the American Graves Registration Service, he used his talents in identifying
the war dead in Hawaii. For this he received the Civilian Meritorious Service
Award from the U.S. Army. His later research took him back to Hawaii on
several occaSionS. In acknowledgment of his research capacity and productivity,
his university colleagues elected him Distinguished Professor of the College
of Arts and Sciences for 1951.

Chuck Snow was an inspking and dedicated teacher, making the students
feel that his first concern was for them. At one lecture, the opaque projector
lamp failed, and realizing that a book could be replaced, while student
interest might not easily be rekindled, he proceeded to Bar out the pictures
from the book, circulating them as he concluded his lecture.

He initiated educational television at the University with an introductory ‘
course in physical anthropology, and repeated this course on television for agr‘
four more semesters to an ever increasing audience. For years afterward, 9
until his death, he would meet townspeople who had watched him and had
vividly remembered his presentations. His lectures were carefully prepared and
he spoke in language that his audience understood. For his excellence as a
teacher Dr. Snow received in 1960 the first Distinguished Teacher Award.

The end of his life was like the rest of it. In early October, he and ?
his wife Katie were in Wisconsin, visithg his aunt, now in her 80's, as he
put it, "before it's too late”. He was outside, helping with the fall chores,
when he had the heart attack. In his work he leaves unfinbhed several research
projects. Since there is no physical anthropologist at Kentucky, his data on 3
living Hawaiians will be given to the University of Kansas, where two of his
former graduate students form the nucleus of a growing department. Chuck's
books will be added to the departmental library at Kansas; the library will
be named in his honor. It is fitting that this memorial is oriented toward
the student, as is the University of Kentucky Medical Center Scholarship
Fund, which includes donations in memory of Dr. Snow.

 

In accordance with his wishes, his eyes were donated to the eye bank where
he died. A successful corneal tranSplant was performed and a young man, ‘
formerly blind, can now see. A few days later, in a simple ceremony in
Colorado, attended by his family and a few close friends, the ashes of Charles
Ernest Snow were returned to his mountains. ‘

Minutes of the University Senate, December 11, 1967 (con't)

INTRODUCTION &

On April 17, 1967, President John W. Oswald appointed the members of this fi<fi5
University Senate Committee (established by the Senate at its March meeting) to My
3

"draw up recommendations to be made to the Joint Trustee—Faculty Committee on
Revision of the Governing Regulations relative to the point of (l) appropriate size
and (2) composition of the University Senate” and (3) "election procedures”.

On July 24 President Oswald asked this committee to consider, in addition, (4) "the
matter of which members of the Senate should be considered voting members.” A
preliminary report was made to the Senate on November 13 and was discussed again \
by that body on November 20. An additional hearing was held the afternoon of
November 27, and numerous written and oral recommendations were received from
individual members of the Senate. This document is a modification of the earlier
interim report designed to incorporate changes believed to reflect the wishes of the
Senate membership as well as the best judgment of the Committee members.

(1) Size glam

The committee recommends that the ratio of elected members to the whole {
Faculty be retained at the present level of l—to—5 until the size of the elected ;
membership reaches 200, at which time the ratio shall become l—to—6. Subsequent
adjustments would be made to maintain a maximum size of 200.

(The ex—officio members should continue as at present.) 7

The committee's decision to recommend that the size of the elected membership
be specifically limited was a function of its expectation that the faculty of the
University of Kentucky would continue to expand and that the Senate——lacking, as it
does at the present time, any limitation on its size——could become too large to
remain a reflective deliberative body. n

(2) Composition (
4/

The committee recommends that the University Senate continue to be composed gtf

of both elected and ex—officio members and that the elected members represent 1”"

proportionately the members of the fulltime teaching and/or research faculty* ,-
With the rank of assistant professor or higher as certified by the administrators r
of the constituent units of the University. For this purpose, the units shall be (
the colleges, schools that have rank equivalent to colleges, and the University
Libraries. The distribution of proportionate representation among the sub—units

of a college or SChOOl shall be at the discretion of the college or school.

The lists of fulltime faculty members of these units will be reviewed by the Senate
Rules Committee to make sure that all persons listed are in fact fulltime teaching MM/,
or research faculty members. The committee also recommends that the Chairmen of the '
several Senate committees, if not already elected members of the Senate, be added to
the list of ex—officio members.

Ex—officio membership in the Senate of the Chairmen of its several committees }
is strongly recommended in the interest of identification with the body and the €5fl‘\
maximum communication and clarification of the relevant involved matters. \ '

* Adjunct professors who spend fulltime in university—associated teaching and/or reseflq
activities shall be included for the purpose of calculating proportionate representamfi"

    
 
   
 
 
  
  
 
  
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
   
 
 
  
  
 
 
  
   
  
  
  
 
 
    

Minutes of the University Senate, December ll, 1967 (con't)

(3) Election procedures

The committee considered four aspects of the election question: (a) those
eligible to serve in the Senate, (b) the method of their selection, (c) their term
of office, and (d) the filling of vacancies.

(a) Eligibility for Senate memberShip. All fulltime teaching and/or research
faculty members of the rank of assistant professor or higher shall be eligible for
election to the Senate. Eligibility will be determined at the time the election is
conducted. Elections will be conducted during the second semester, and those elected
will assume office at the September meeting of the Senate.

 

 

(b) The method of selection. The committee recommends a two—tier process
of selection of members of the Senate: (1) the nomination of representatives to the
Senate shall be by letter ballot and shall be conducted in each unit for the members
of that unit by the chief administrative officer. (2) Twice as many members of the
faculty shall be nominated as there are places to be filled, and, their willingness to
serve having been ascertained, shall subsequently be voted upon for the purpose of
selecting the membership of the Senate. (The committee recommends that, in the
larger units, brief biographies of those being voted upon be included with the
election ballot.) As currently, the individuals receiving the highest number of votes
in each category with the result of a tie being determined by lot, shall be certified
to the Secretary of the Senate as elected.

 

It is the belief of the committee that the process of weeding out persons who do
not want to serve in the Senate will have the result of improving both attendance at
meetings and service and dedication to the Senate.

(c) Term of office. The committee recommends that members of the Senate,
contrary to present procedure, be eligible for re—election to a second consecutive
three—year term (but ineligible for a further term until one year has elapsed after
the second term).

The objective of this recommendation is to permit those of experience and
interest in Senate service, if their faculty constituents so desire, to continue to
place this experience and service at the active disposal of their university. The
end of continuity would also be served by this proposal.

(d) Filling of vacancies. The committee recommends that the procedure for
filling vacancies not be changed.

(4) Voting members

The committee recommends that ex—officio members of the Senate shall continue
to enjoy all the privileges of the elected membership except that they shall not
be eligible to vote.

It is the committee's belief that voting privileges should be reserved to elected
members if the Senate is to function as a representative deliberative body of the

faculty.

Chairman Sears resumed the chair and expressed thanks to Dr. Butwell and the
members of the Committee on behalf of the University Senate for their diligent
work and for the carrying through of this assignment.

The Chairman announced that the Secretary, University Senate, had mailed the
Rules 2f_the University Faculty, 1964 to the entire membership of the Senate and
that full circularization would be given to the revised and updated University ,
Senate Rules which, hopefully, will be completed before next September. «Efi\
