  • The Beginning of a New University Presidency Is Usually Associated
    1 THE LEADERS AND BEST he beginning of a new university presidency is usually associated Twith the pomp and circumstance of an academic inauguration ceremony. The colorful robes of an academic procession, the familiar strains of ritualistic music, and the presence of distinguished guests and visitors all make for an impressive ceremony, designed to sym- bolize the crowning of a new university leader. Of course, like most senior leadership positions, the university presidency takes many forms depending on the person; the institution; and, perhaps most signi‹cant, the needs of the times. Clearly, as the chief executive of‹cer of an institution with thousands of employees (faculty and staff) and clients (students, patients, sports fans), an annual budget in the billions of dollars, a physical plant the size of a small city, and an in›uence that is frequently global in extent, the management respon- sibilities of the university president are considerable, comparable to those of the CEO of a large, multinational corporation. A university president is also a public leader, with important sym- bolic, political, pastoral, and at times even moral leadership roles, par- ticularly when it comes to representing the institution to a diverse array of external constituencies, such as government, business and industry, prospective donors, the media, and the public at large. The contemporary university is a political tempest in which all the con- 3 4 The View from the Helm tentious issues swirling about our society churn together: for example, civil rights versus racial preference, freedom of speech versus con›ict- ing political ideologies, social purpose versus market-driven cost- effectiveness.

  • Higher Education in Brazil: the Expansion of Public 3-Year
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.1.11 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ ONE UNIVERSITY: THE EVOLUTION OF AN IDEA January 2011 Patricia A. Pelfrey Center for Studies in Higher Education Berkeley, California Copyright 2011 Patricia A. Pelfrey ABSTRACT The one-university idea—that the University of California is a single institution whose campuses are united in the pursuit of a common mission and common standards of quality—has been a guiding organizational principle since UC President Robert Gordon Sproul first articulated it in the 1930s. This paper examines the origins of the one-university idea in the Sproul era, the role it has played in UC’s institutional development through waves of decentralization and campus expansion, and whether it remains relevant today. We are building one great university in California. Let no small mind direct you along the paths of suspicion, distrust, or jealousy. President Robert Gordon Sproul to the students of UCLA, September 27, 1932 President Sproul’s admonition to UCLA’s students came at a sensitive moment in the history of the University of California. In 1932 the Los Angeles campus—long fought for by southern California citizens and interest groups, long delayed by University leaders in the north, and only recently settled in the hills of Westwood where it stands today—had recently made UC the nation’s first multicampus university.1 UCLA was a fledgling institution at that point, very much in the shadow of its distinguished older sibling four hundred miles away at Berkeley. Sproul’s remark was an attempt to lift morale and instill a sense of solidarity between north and south.

  • A History of the Conferences of Deans of Women, 1903-1922
    A HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCES OF DEANS OF WOMEN, 1903-1922 Janice Joyce Gerda A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2004 Committee: Michael D. Coomes, Advisor Jack Santino Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen M. Broido Michael Dannells C. Carney Strange ii „ 2004 Janice Joyce Gerda All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael D. Coomes, Advisor As women entered higher education, positions were created to address their specific needs. In the 1890s, the position of dean of women proliferated, and in 1903 groups began to meet regularly in professional associations they called conferences of deans of women. This study examines how and why early deans of women formed these professional groups, how those groups can be characterized, and who comprised the conferences. It also explores the degree of continuity between the conferences and a later organization, the National Association of Deans of Women (NADW). Using evidence from archival sources, the known meetings are listed and described chronologically. Seven different conferences are identified: those intended for deans of women (a) Of the Middle West, (b) In State Universities, (c) With the Religious Education Association, (d) In Private Institutions, (e) With the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, (f) With the Southern Association of College Women, and (g) With the National Education Association (also known as the NADW). Each of the conferences is analyzed using seven organizational variables: membership, organizational structure, public relations, fiscal policies, services and publications, ethical standards, and affiliations. Individual profiles of each of 130 attendees are provided, and as a group they can be described as professional women who were both administrators and scholars, highly-educated in a variety of disciplines, predominantly unmarried, and active in social and political causes of the era.

Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

  • University of Minnesota Calendar
    The actions of the 1967 Minnesota Legislature in support of education are a credit to its membership. Even though there were some things the University felt oould and should be done for the State which were not funded, the general level of appropriations reflects continued wisdom of Minnesotans in making an investment in their most valuable resource- people. Compensations for University faculty and Civil Service staff members were substantially impr·oved by the actions of this year's Legislature and, as a result, the University has an enviable opportunity to maintain and strengthen its own human resources. At the same time, each member of the University community must exert increased effort to provide for the people of Minnesota the best teaching, research, and service that a university can offer. Gaining widespread understanding of the University and its needs is a continuing responsibility for all of us. But, in legislative years, many individuals assume additional duties to help build this awareness of the University and its operations. Principal leader in this effort is Vice-President Wenberg.
