CBS - a robust Our New Image 10 year old The College of Biological Science is now a robust 10 year old. Not bad for a youngster which has an unexpected conception and an uncertain birth. A few years after the University was created a Special Committee of Senate, chair- ed by Burton Matthews, then Vice-President, Academic, was asked to review and make recommendations about the academic admin- istrative organization of the University. Among the recommendations was that " a College of Biological Science be established. The College, headed by a Dean, would have academic administrative responsibility for the teaching, research and continuing education programs in the biological sciences in the following departments: Botany, Microbiology, Zoology (including Apiculture), Biochemistry and Nutrition (proposed), Genetics (pro- posed), and School of Physical Education." Recommendations contained in the Matthews report were presented to Senate, January 13, 1970. Motions were passed creating Colleges of Arts, Social Science, Physical Science, and Family and Consumer Studies. Then, the Dean of the OAC moved that the question of a College of Biological Science be delayed until a study was under- taken of the role and organization of biology at the University. The motion passed. Al- though OAC was prepared to give up most of Zoology, it was decidedly unenthused by the proposal that Botany and Microbiology be transferred outside the College. OAC s con- uelph s new look, pictured above, was unveiled at a meeting of the G cern was understandable. Both departments Board of Governors last Thursday.
