Facilities, *Educational Planning, Enrollment Projections, *Higher Education, *Performance Criteria, Population Trends, *State Standards Identifiers *Virginia Abstract This report discusses higher education in the State of Virginia as it relates to some economic and social factors, and maps the distribution of colleges and universities in the state. A 2% standard, based on the fact that Virginia has 2.2w of the total national population, is used to measure the state's relationship to the US as a whole. In areas of taxation and financial support for schools and colleges, Virginia is significantly below the 2% standard. Its performance in education, which should approximate 2% of national performance, is much lower. The median number of school years completed by the average adult Virginian in 1960 was 9.9, compared to a national average of 10.6; variations among state counties range from 6.5 to 12.8 years of schooling. In 1964, institutions of higher education in Virginia had only 1.54% of all students enrolled in the US. Degree production is low. The greatest deficiency is at the graduate level, where production is less than 1% of national totals, and the rate of increase is slow. Accredited colleges and universities are not well distributed geographically to serve the various local areas of the state. The programs and locations of these institutions are analyzed and the state-wide patterns for various kinds of higher education services are displayed in a series of 62 maps. A projection of enrollment trends suggests that by 1980, the college-age population in Virginia may more than double current totals.

Several of thesetopics required thecollec- tion and interpretation of extensive data;the detailed analysesof the problems led, inmany cases, to suggestions for their solution.The results of these detailed studies, preparedby staff membersand Consultants are published as StaffReports, to make the information generallyavailable. Staff Report #2, published herewith,presents information aboutthe state-wide pattern of higher education in Virginia. It is concerned first with the population and economic factors affectinghigher education in Virginia. Virginia's performance in education, bothin its public school system and more particularly at the level of highereducation, is examined against the background of these population andeconomic data. The Report presents ea intensive analysis of the number ofacademic degrees grantedby the Virginia colleges and universities, pointingout the academic subjects in which degree production departs either positivelyor negatively from what might reasonably be expected in Virginia. Complications encounteredby the ii Staff in defining precisely the institutions through which Virginiais served in higher education are described. The programs and locations of these institutions are analyzed and the state-wide patternsfor various kinds of service in higher education are displayed in a seriesof maps.A pro- jection is made of probable future college enrollment trends, up to1980. A brief summary of the findings is presented at theend of the Report. Information of the kind presented in Staff Report #2should be useful in providing an overview of the general situationof higher education in Virginia, prior to the more intensive analyses that the Studywill make of the various features of the facilitiesand services of the institutions. Staff Report 42 is intended to be factual, and it does not presentspecific recommendations for action. Staff Report #2 has been prepared by Dr. James R.Connor, Associate Director of the Study of Higher Education in Virginia.He has drawn his data from a wide variety of sources. The cooperation of several state agencies and of the educational institutions of Virginia, both the state and the privately controlled, isgratefully acknowledged. The text of Staff Report 42 presentsonly the findings and interpre- tations of the author, Dr. Connor. The Report has been reviewed by the Higher Education Study Commission but therelease of the Report does not imply an endorsement by the Commission of anysuggestions and recommendations herein contained.

  • Bridgewater College: the First Hundred Years, 1880-1980 263
    VII The Presidency of Paul Haynes Bowman 1919-1946 The Choice of a New College Head After President John S. Flory informed the college's trustees, in April, 1918, of his desire to be relieved of the responsibilities of his office, the trustees appointed a committee (Hiram G. Miller, Sidney L. Bowman, and John C. Myers) "to seek out and recommend a suitable man" for the presidency of the college, and asked President Flory to work with the committee.1That committee recommended, in June, 1918, Charles Calvert Ellis, vice president of Juniata College and the head of its Department of Education, and the trustees instructed the committee to ascertain whether Dr. Ellis was available for the position.2 Because Dr. Ellis was not available, the committee, on November 12, 1918, recommended, as President Flory's successor, Paul Haynes Bowman,3a Bridgewater College faculty member, professor of Biblical literature and theology since August 1, 1918. In response to being approached on the matter, Professor Bowman stated that he was "in no sense a candidate" for the presidency, but that the position held for him "a tremendous appeal," since it offered "a large opportunity for service." He said he would consider the offer on condition that he first be elected acting president of the college "for a period of one year, more or less," before being considered for the presidency. The college's trustees agreed to that proposition and elected him acting president on November 19, 1918, "he to assume active duties at the end of the present session," and fixed his salary at $1,800 a year.4 Election to the presidency by the college's board of trustees, however, was not enough for Professor Bowman.
