The President's Corner

I welcome the opportunity to greet all alumni and friends of Whittier College. It is a pleasure to return to the campus and I look forward to working with you for many years at this unique institution. One of the first students I met when I returned to Whittier a few weeks ago was a bright, poised young woman from the East. She told me enthusiastically of her summer employment and of her trip back to California, and then blurted out, "I just love this College!" I returnwith the same sentiments. Dotty and I are enjoying renewing acquaintance with old friends and alumni and are pleased to be meeting so many whom we have not known before. It's great to be associated with Chairman Carl Randolph and other members of the Board of Trustees and to begin our work with the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association under the leadership of Susie Roberts. I am delighted to have several of my former students on these important Boards. It is a relief to find that, even though they sat in my classes many years ago, they have succeeded in life anyway! Dotty and I will be meeting many of you here on campus and in your home communities. We are eager to see the College move forward into the 1980's and are confident that you will join us in the challenges that lie ahead. There is much to be done, but Whittier College deserves the best from all of us and I know the future will see an even stronger and more important role for this special place. Coma visit your campus as often as you have an opportunity to do so. The Inauguration of Eugene Sumner Mills As Eleventh President of Whittier College Saturday, October 20, 1979

It is so much easier to forget than to have been Mr. r4'hittier.

Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Trustees, Members of the Plat- form Party, Honored Guests and Distinguished Delegates, Faculty, Students, Alumni, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a privilege and an honor to have been elected eleventh President of Whittier College and I am grateful to the members of the Board of Trustees for their faith in me. I pledge that I will do all in my power to move this fine College forward into the 1980's. I want to take a minute to express publicly my indebtedness to my Father and Mother for their love and counsel through the years; and especially to my wife and best friend, Dotty Mills, and to our children, David and Sara . . . they have given me more than I can ever return and this is their special day, too. It is a pleasure also to express greetings to my old friends and colleagues, and distinguished predecessors in this position, Presidents Roy Newsom and Paul Smith. It is an honor to follow them in the work of the College. To the Inaugural Committee, working under the chairmanship of Professor C. Milo Connick, my thanks for your hard work and thoughtful- ness in making this day possible. The late Robert Hutchins, for many years President of the University of Chicago, once remarked that inauguration day is the last time when the new President can be widely regarded as bright, articulate, compelling, wise, thoughtful and worth listening to. He held that the inauguration ceremony necessarily was the only high point in any president's term of office, if Hutchins was right about this, then perhaps I'd better begin immediately to say what I have to say about Whittier College and the time ahead. Perhaps it is because I am an historian of my field, but whatever the reason, I am an inveterate reader of college histories and visitor of college campuses. Whenever Dotty and I travel, we weave our way from one campus to another, trying to get the feel of each, looking for the library, the student center, the building that is the "Founders Hall" of that campus. You see, I really believe that colleges and universities are the most interesting institutions in American life. And always, when you visit a campus, there is the sense of scholars and students and benefactors, of visionaries and pragmatists and just plain lovers of young people. . . of seekers after faith and values and new dreams of society. Where else, but in a college, would you find such a mixture of doers and dreamers and believers in what is best and most hopeful about our brief time on this planet? And where else would you find, as I did recently in walking by the quad north of Wardman Library, a mixture of faculty and students and staff, of men and women—scholars all—locked in a not-at-all-frivolous game of touch-football? We are on this hillside today because of the faith, vision, quiet courage and generosity of thousands of people who have known and loved this college. What we hold in trust is precious. It is an institution of higher learning—not just another college, but a special place. Its founding and the threads of continuity that have brought it to us after nine decades are parts of the

American dream—the westward movement of a small, but sturdy band of Quakers whose actions reflected a belief in the interdependence of home, church, school, and community. Their faith in education was strong and their plans ambitious. After all, it happened in California! One of the archival treasures of the College is a handbill or broadside publication that bears the title "College Meeting at Whittier." That meeting was called for January 23, 1888, to be held at the Friends Church. The list of sponsors includes familiar Quaker names: Jones, Sinsabaugh, Coffin, Nicholson and Tebbetts. In bold print the notice urges "Come one, Come all," and then states: "This meeting is of the greatest importance to Whittier and the surrounding country, as it is proposed to build a COLLEGE second to none west of the Rocky Mountains, and which will fill a long felt need in Southern California, to cost not less than $100,000." "Come one, Come all," we're going to build a COLLEGE, "second to none west of the Rocky Mountains." I like that ringing, affirmative, inclusive, ambitious beginning for our special place. Our town and college were founded with the knowledge and in the name of a gentle, but fervent Quaker man of letters. It is our immense good fortune to bear the name of John Greenleaf Whittier. He was a good, courageous, compassionate person. His legacy speaks to our time and can help guide us through the problems that lie ahead. His long shadow falls across this campus. If we will but look to it, we will be reminded of the living faith that gave us our being; of the compassionate concern for human dignity and social justice; of the interdependence of words and actions; and of the personal responsibility that is ours as free men and women in a free society. As poet and abolitionist, he lived a life of principle in a difficult Dr. C. Milo Connick time. Jessamyn West McPherson, a graduate of Whittier College, an authoress and an esteemed member of our Board of Trustees, wrote an account of our heritage in a publication, The Whittier Story. She closed her fine work by quoting a poem by Winfield Townly Scott entitled, "Mr. Whittier." The poem refers to Whittier's courageous action as an abolitionist and then includes a memorable line: "It is so much easier to forget than to have been Mr. Whittier." Perhaps that line can be considered the central point of these inaugural remarks—"It is so much easier to forget than to have been Mr. Whittier." It is not easy for an institution of higher learning to maintain a focus upon those elements that define its uniqueness. As we face the decade ahead we face the prospect of competition for students, continuing inflation, a tight- ened job market for our graduates, continuing changes in family patterns, uncertainty about personal values, a student body reared on television, a technological explosion, and an erosion of faith in our institutions. If any or all of these grim considerations apply to higher education in the 80's, then perhaps one may agree with a friend of mine who commented upon learning of my move to California: "But don't you know, this is a lousy time to become a college president!" Not at all. This is a perfect time to join all of you here today and thousands of others, in an exciting, all-out effort to make this historic college a telling point of entry into the lives of our students. But how is this to be done? 4 I believe that an approach to the future, the movement through the 80's and the preparation of the College for our second century, must involve a clear understanding of our essential characteristics and a commitment to the unique role of independent higher education. Among our essential characteristics, the following are noteworthy:

1. We are a liberal arts college with a substantial proportion of resi- dential students. We have faith in liberal arts education as a preparation for life and living. While all of us associated with Whittier College are affected by the vicissitudes of politics andthe economy, we hold to the belief that breadth of learning, a knowledge of history, an understanding of forms of inquiry, an appreciation of art and culture, a respect for reason, and the development of personal integrity—that these are supremely important and that society needs people who are educated in this way.

2. We recognize that teaching by a highly qualified, professional and caring faculty is central to what we do here. Teachers who are persons as well as learned scholars, who are approachable and interested in their students, have an enormous impact upon the college community. Victor Lopez, Mayor pro tern 3. We are a college with a special blend of pre-professional and pro- of the City of Whittier fessional programs. It is important that we create an atmosphere that expresses respect for the values of the world of work and avoid an artificial separation of learning and vocation. In this respect the Whittier College School of Law is an important aspect of the college and contributes appropriately to the total educational mission of the College and to its national distinction.

4. As an academic community, Whittier College must continue to set high standards of conduct and stress the development of self- discipline and personal responsibility. The College as a learning environment necessarily rests upon the twin values of freedom and responsibility. Civility and respect for others are attributes of a learning community.

5. The campus is a cultural resource to those who live, learn and work here, as well as to the broader society.

6. We are an independent college operating under the authority of an independent, self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. It is essential that the pluralism of American higher education be preserved and that education remain substantially independent of the monolithic, bureaucratic pressures of federal government. In the words of President Steven Muller of Johns Hopkins University, ". . . Inde- pendent colleges and universities are a crucial counter-weight to public governance of public institutions of higher education." Dr. Robert McBride All institutions, public and private, have a heavy stake in the struggle to maintain educational diversity.

7. Whittier College has a special heritage. Its Quaker traits are more than a mere adornment to the campus—they are essential features of our educational program. In his account of the founding and 5

early years of this town and college ("second to none west of the Rocky Mountains!") Herbert E. Harris wrote: "Certain outward observances of early Friends were transient. Perhaps certain other characteristics may be agreed upon as funda- mental: freedom in faith, not limited by strict creeds; democracy, equality and responsibility for all; peaceful methods, friendliness, tolerance; service, an effort to help meet human needs. Despite limitation of resources and errors of judgment, those Quaker principles have greatly influenced the aims and methods of Whittier College."

While this College of Quaker heritage is free of sectarian control and prides itself on the rich and vital mix of its faculty and student body, the prevailing tone of the campus, the values held and methods used, significantly reflect these special qualities of the Society of Friends. This will continue to be true in the years ahead. There is great strength in this College. For us, there is no question about survival. But we do face problems and we do have needs. I am acutely aware of the fact that the College must continue to deserve the trust and Mrs. Susan Roberts support of the community of Whittier; that we must advance our purposes in an open and clear manner; that we must tell our story with all of the conviction that this special place deserves. We must be worthy of Whittier College. Today we begin a count-down toward the start of our second century. There is much to be done and all of us-Board of Trustees, faculty, students, alumni, friends and members of the broader community—all of us will have an opportunity to help move this fine independent college forward through the coming decade. I welcome the prospect of working with you in developing an agenda for the future of Whittier College.

With a confidence not yet blunted by long experience on campus, I propose the following items for our agenda: 1. A thoughtful examination of our general education requirements with a view to assuring that our students receive the quality of education that should be reflected in a bacculaureate degree. 2. A consideration of ways in which the curriculum and other programs of Whittier College prepare our students for life and work in a world that is truly international, with special attention to the need for competencies and understanding in areas of language and culture, economics and government. 3. The maintenance of programs that will assure the continuation of an excellent faculty. Dr. Raymond L. Erickson 4. The further development of programs that will aid in the recruit- ment and retention of academically qualified and motivated students. 5. The initiation of a program to enlarge substantially the endowment base for the College. 6. The development of a performing arts center, gallery and permanent art collection, in order to improve the instructional and cultural life on campus and as a further resource for the community.

6 7. The creation of a plan for development and maintenance that will protect the beauty and quality of our campus environment. 8. The further development of our fine School of Law and of our new graduate program in business administration. 9. The continuation of imaginative steps to assure the most vital and sensitive conditions for student life with particular reference to the educational and cultural advantages offered by a diverse student body. 10.The enrichment of career development and placement programs that will aid students in career choice, employment and entrance in- to graduate and professional schools.

This agenda for the future of Whittier College will not unfold by accident. It will be achieved only if we have the will and the faith that inspired those who gave us our start on this hillside so long ago. "It is so much easier to forget than to have been Mr. Whittier"—I pledge that, with your help, we will not forget who we are and we will not neglect to do what must be done.

Thank you.

Now there would be no most impressive and the introductory such spectacular march. Instead, cars speeches, the greetings, and finally "The Independent College: A Public Trust"

President Mills introduced the panelists, Dr. Landrum R. Boiling, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Council on Foundations in Washington, DC; Harry P. Letton, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Southern California Gas Company and Chairman of the Independent Colleges of Southern California; and Dr. Armand C. Stalnaker, Chairman of the Board of General American Life Insurance Company of St. Louis, Missouri.

13 Dr. Boiling made the first presentation. He spoke of the historical background of American education, founded—as it was—on the private, largely church-related academies. He referred to Count Alexis de Tocqueville's statements on the American ability to create voluntary associations and how this propensity was the basis on which the independent schools were founded for the public good. Today, he said, the private colleges continue to be one of our great cultural and social assets. Dr. Boiling commented on the problem of size in today's world, which is in an era of mass communications, huge industries, huge unions, huge government bureaucracies, huge educational institutions. "One of the great strengths of the private, independent colleges," he said, "is that practically all of them are on a human scale, where there can be ease of communications, where people can get to know one another as individuals, and where you can share in an exploration of learning."

Dr. Landrum Boiling, chairman and chief executive officer of the Council on Foundations in Washington, DC, served for fifteen years as president of Earlham College. He joined the Lilly Endowment in 1973, becoming president in 1975 and taking up his present post in 1978.

In addition to his work as an administrator, Dr. Bolling has had a varied career as professor of political science and as a journalist. While with the Dr. Landrum Boiling Lilly Endowment, he gave testimony to Senate and House committees dealing with tax and other regulations applied to private foundations, and has spoken extensively on the need for a comprehensive public policy to encourage private philanthropy.

A member of the Society of Friends, Dr. Bolling was the principal author of Search for Peace in the Middle East, published in 1970. The book was produced by the International Quaker Working Party on Middle East Peace, of which he was chairman.

From 1944-45 he was a war correspondent in the Mediterranean area and after the war covered Berlin and Central Europe as a reporter for Overseas News Agency. This is Germany, a book of which he was co-author, was published in 1950. Over the years he has written articles and made radio and television appearances on the problems of Europe and the Arab- Israel Conflict.

He discussed the issue of independence and the fact that an individual can make an impact on society through developing a sense of responsibility and private initiative, a sense of integrity and purposefulness in life, and that the private college has a unique opportunity to inculcate these values. "This kind of education," Dr. Bolling finished by saying, "is crucial for the survival of a free and decent and open society, and I believe that it is in the setting of the private college that this can be accomplished."

14 The next panelist to come to the mike was Mr. Harry Letton, who introduced a note of levity when he said, "I'm a little nervous, because I'm the only lawyer surrounded by three doctors, and also because this is the first time I ever spoke in a church from this end!" (He was referring to the fact that the dais for the panel was set up in the chapel sanctuary.) Mr. Letton gave the audience some interesting figures to consider. He said that in California the private colleges and universities educate about 150,000 undergraduate and graduate students every year. They provide $800 million in educational services annually, yet state expenditures for students in these institutions is less than $55 million. A $2,900 scholarship paid for by the state costs less than subsidizing a student at the University of California! Moreover, the private colleges and universities cost the state only 3.5% of the total amount allocated for education, yet they carry about 30010 of the workload, in terms of student education.

Harry P. Letton, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Southern California Gas Company and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Independent Colleges of Southern California, was born in Chicago. He received his undergraduate and law degreees from the University of Nebraska and graduated from Harvard Law School with a Master of Law in 1938. He began his career in the Office of the Solicitor, US Department of Agriculture, in Washington, DC, and two years later joined the Bell System Harry P. Letton, Jr. in New York. He remained with Bell until 1951, with the exception of a period during World War II, when he served in the US Navy. In 1951, Letton joined the Southern California Gas Co., first as Assistant General Counsel, then vice president and General Counsel and, since 1972, in his present position. He is a member of the Bar in California, New York and Nebraska.

Mr. Letton quoted Clark Kerr (former President of the California University System), who said at one time that the private colleges were the best protection of the autonomy of the public universities, to which Mr. Letton added that he felt the diversity provided by the independent institutions not only gave students a wide range of choice, in respect of size, location, religious emphasis and specialization, but were the leaders in the quality and innovative nature of educational programs.

He commented on the active participation the students and faculties in private institutions made by way of community service and the desirability of a small campus as a setting for minority students. Then he mentioned some little known or seldom appreciated facts about the private colleges and universities. "In their capacity as employers," he said, "these institutions face the same kinds of restrictions and rules, and pay the same costs, as we do in the business world. For example, OSHA

15 (Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act) and ERISA (Employment Retirement Income Security Act)." Unlike a manufacturing concern, a college cannot pass these costs on to its customers. "Take the increase in social security taxes," he continued. "In a business, these are partly offset by the reduction in income tax paid by the company, but non-profit organizations don't pay taxes and therefore there's no comparable offset, nor can such organizations raise the price of their product, since the only price they charge is tuition and in many instances we may be pricing ourselves out of the market in that area." He ended by mentioning the free enterprise system and the help that system can both give and receive from the independent colleges, quoting Dr. Steven Muller, president of John Hopkins University, who said: "American business has an enormous stake in private, independent colleges and universities. If they were not there, the resulting homogeneous, national, socialistic system of education would produce a public hostile to private enterprise."

Dr. Armand C. Stalnaker is president and chairman of the Board of General American Life Insurance Company in St. Louis, Missouri. He has been with General American since 1963 and was previously with the Prudential Insurance Company in Newark, NJ, from 1950-63. Stalnaker received his undergraduate degree from the University of Dr. Armand C. Stalnaker Cincinnati; his MA from the University of Pennsylvania; and his doctorate from Ohio State University, where he taught from 1946-50. Author of a number of books and articles on insurance and management, Stalnaker is on the board of a number of prestigious corporations and is a member of the American Economic Association, the American Psychological Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Elected to Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership honor society, he was named Man of the Year in St. Louis by the Globe Democrat in 1978.

The third panelist, Dr. Armand C. Stalnaker, drew laughter when he told the story of a graduate of the University of Georgia who had done exceedingly well in Alabama. As a gesture of gratitude to his alma mater he sent an annual gift of $50,000, for which he received profuse letters of appreciation and a little card stating he would be welcomed should he wish to attend any of the University's athletic events. Since he wasn't particularly interested in sports, he put it in his pocket and forgot about it. Then he happened to be in Georgia when the big Georgia/Alabama football game was being played and he thought he might as well attend. When he reached the ticket office, he was told they had been sold out for six months. He took out his little card, and somewhat diffidently showed it to the girl. She took it, left the booth to check his record and came back with a smile. "Yes, sir," she said. "I'm glad to say we've been able to find a ticket for you on the 50-yard line." He thanked her and turned away, then turned back and

16 said, "I'm sorry, I really don't go to games that often. What time does it start?" And she said, "Sir, what time would you like it to start?"

Dr. Stalnaker went on to comment on the possibly radical changes that will come in higher education in the coming years, stating that there might be new and different forms of educational activities waiting to be discovered, and that it was on the private campuses that these would be developed. He then spoke of the expected growth in adult, or continuing education at a time when college enrollment throughout the country is declining. "Too often," he said, "it seems to me that this has been a stripped-down imitation of the education provided for the full-time student. I would challenge you to find ways to enrich and enhance these earning and learning arrangements."

President Mills asked the panel to assess the effectiveness of the private colleges. Are they doing less than they should, or as well as they could?

Dr. Boiling responded that the answer did not lie in slick publicity, but in bringing alumni, trustees, parents and students together as volunteers to spread the word and gather support.

President Mills then spoke of the role of the private colleges and of Whittier College in particular. "What is it," he asked, "that is done here that is not done as well as everywhere else?" He stated that many private colleges have intimacy on campus, there are loyal alumni, there is the nostalgia of everyone's beloved Founders Hall. "Isn't it true," he asked again, "that an institution will do its best job in the degree to which it can make up its mind as to just what it is? I would think that it is in the nature of an institution's promulgation of its identity, its specialness, that it has an opportunity to form relations with the broader society. Once an institution ceases being specific about itself and tries to play the game of the big university, then it really winds up as a less adequate representation of what is bigger and better and faster and more glamorous. Isn't that part of the dilemma faced by a small college, whether it's Whittier, Cornell, Hanover or whatever?"

Mr. Letton commented that to him one of the advantages of the independent college that knows who it is, is that it can help young people in their own identity struggle.

He mentioned a number of questions that should be asked, such as: Are you an elite institution or not? Should you be an elite institution or not? What do you mean by an elite institution if you are one? "Elitism," he said, "is often identified as superiority, arrogance, dominence, and other negative connotations.

"On the other hand," he continued, "there is a special kind of responsibility that goes with those who have special opportunities, special talents, special abilities, and I have the feeling that one of the places where many of us have gone wrong has been in trying to water down our standards, our values, our expectations in some sort of perverted egalitarianism."

17 Instead, Mr. Letton said, we should make it clear that we are training individuals for real leadership, not for self-aggrandisement or social status, not for the achievement of wealth, but in terms of using the gifts that God has given us in a responsible way. "I think," he went on, "that the pendulum has swung too far away, towards a sort of namby-pamby, watered down egalitarianism, and we have not been strong enough in affirming what it is that an institution like this can do in helping people rise to their greatest potential."

He then talked about a survey that had been made some years ago by Standard Oil of New Jersey to find out what made for successful people in the company. From their investigation they found that those who were identified as most successful were those who at some time had come under the influence of one person who had made a difference in their lives. Either a teacher or an early supervisor on the job, which was not terribly surprising. Then they examined the characteristics of that person and discovered it was someone who set high expectations on the individual, held them to a high quality of work and didn't let them get away with sloppiness. That was basic, but hooked to it was a second quality. Care for the individual.

"There are all kinds of people," he said, "who could be tough teachers or supervisors but had no caring. And there are all sorts of mothering, sweet, gentle, bleeding heart souls who would baby everybody. If you had one without the other, the chances were that you wouldn't have this great impact, but if you had the two together, demand plus caring, something significant happened. I think that helps answer the question 'how can colleges really be effective?' We have the size, the tradition and the ethos. I think it's hooking together these expectations for excellence that is one of the peculiar opportunities of the small independent college."

President Mills then turned to the audience for questions. The first question related to identity and Dr. Stalnaker responded that in his own company they had researched this in some depth and had found that the employees of the company had a definite feeling for what the organization was and what it was supposed to be.

President Mills gave his opinion that an affirmation of tradition was a start in the process of defining identity. He said Whittier College had a strong commitment to the liberal arts, with the kind of vigor that makes it possible to influence the lives of students in a special way; that it tries to speak personally to everyone of the values of the Quaker tradition.

He then concluded the panel presentation with the statement that the decade ahead is a crucial one for the welfare and future of private institutions and that the College must point its endeavors towards the elaboration and development of the kind of quality institution that we all know it to be.

CLASS AGENTS Most colleges have Class Agents or Class Secretaries and we are anxious to establish a corps of the same type of dedicated alumni at Whittier College. We are asking for volunteers willing to act in this capacity. Such individuals would be of great assistance to their Alma Mater in many ways. They would be able to assist with class reunions; help organize regional meetings which would be attended by the President or another officer of the College; enlist the aid of friends in suggesting names of high school students who might be interested in attending the College; and help keep their classmates aware of campus events and needs. By keeping in touch with other graduates of their own year, they can give us news of alumni which we might not otherwise obtain, and we will provide them with the names and current addresses of their classmates. We are looking forward to having a full roster of Class Agents in the near future, then we can go ahead with plans to organize special events to which they will be invited as a group. Please send us your name if you are willing to be one of these valued alumni. You will earn the gratitude of the Alumni Association and Whittier College.
