UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE 1966-67 CATALOGUE UC IRVINE - 1966-1967 UC I UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE 1966-67 CATALOGUE UC IRVINE - 1966-1967 When we in the University of California decided a few years ago that we must build three entirely new major campuses, not only simultaneously but expeditiously, we also decided that each of these new campuses for the 21st century should be dif ferent-different from one another and different from the exist ing campuses of the University. We took for our motto "unity with diversity," but sought to place the emphasis on diversity. We asked each new campus to try to articulate new answers to problems of today. We challenged each to face the demands and shape the opportunities of the future with an individual style whether in instructional meth- CLARK KERR ods, in research emphasis, in academic structure, in campus President of the University architecture, in student partici- pation. In grasping this chance to pio neer in education-in forging a unique UC/I brand within the University of California-Irvine administrators, professors and students have significantly widened the choice of educational ex perience open to Californians. The University of California as a whole is thereby enabled to make a fuller and more varied con tribution to the state and to the nation in these exciting years when education for all is termed the first work of our time, and when higher education becom0s steadily more central an influence in the lives of individuals and of society. UC IRVINE - 1966-1967 ~ he 1966-67 catalogue is in large measure a testimony to the achievements of faculty and students of the Irvine campus during its first year of existence. On the morning of October 4, 1965, the charter faculty and students entered classrooms and laboratories and breathed life into an institution which had until then been only in the making. In the ensuing busy days curricular and extracurricular pro·· grams gave new identity to the campus. The academic hallmarks of Irvine are the divisional structure of the College of Arts, Letters, and Science; freedom for stu dents to develop individual pro- grams of study with the counsel of outstanding faculty; pass-fail options; the opportunity to DANIEL G. ALDRICH, JR. achieve credit by examination; and an array of self-instruc- Chancellor tiona! devices that provide op portunities for independent study. Several major goals set for the first year have been reached or surpassed: The library has grown rapidly both in respect to the number of volumes it contains and the number of services it can provide; numerous student activities have been established; Uni versity Extension has begun to offer a broad program; the com munity has been involved in many cultural and recreational activities. On the pages that follow you will find details of programs and activities and information about life at Irvine during 1966-67.

The faculty recognizes that its own intention to help students learn cannot be achieved unless, first, the student understands that the primary responsibility for learning is his own, and, second, there is certainty that the student's time is not being squandered. It follows that the academic program should include only such curricula as can be most effectively offered in a university envi ronment or are necessary to the student's pursuit of a liberal education. It follows also that academic progress should be thought of not merely, or even necessarily, in terms of courses taken, but in terms of the acquisition of competence and knowl edge and the growth of intellectual integrity and creative power. The faculty, therefore, has adopted the principle that credit for many courses can be achieved by means other than the actual taking of the formal course. Further, by refusing to stipulate a large and complex system of university and college requirements, the faculty has indicated that it envisages many possible avenues by which the student may reach the proper goals. The THE faculty, in its advisory capacity, ACADEMIC will encourage each student to PLAN avoid extremes of narrow spe cialization and superficial gener alization, to plan a coherent pro gram with maximum opportunity for independent study, and to use whatever p1ethod of instruction and study is most stimu lating, efficient, and generally suitable tc his subject and to his own abilities. UC IRVINE - 1966-1967 2 1: The Academic Plan The College of Arts, Letters, and Seience The College is composed of the Divisions of Biological Sciences, Fine Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Physical Sciences. Programs of the College are designed to develop the qualities long associated with a liberally educated man.
