(Albert Hosmer), 1919-2008 Heyns, Roger W. (Roger William), 1918-1995 Kerr, Clark, 1911-2003 Meyerson, Martin Seaborg, Glenn Theodore, 1912-1999 Arrangement The records are arranged in a subject based system, each section having a numerical code. Except for Series 2, the various series are accompanied by a paper alphabetical index to this filing system, giving the code number, which may then be traced in the finding aid. Materials are to be requested by box number, however. Series 2 represents materials accumulated under one of these file codes, 893-Student revolts and related issues, 1964-1972, which apparently had been kept separately because of its size and complexity. Series 1: Records, 1952-1961. Series 2: Student revolts and related issues, 1964-1972. Series 3: Records, 1962-1966. Series 4: Records, 1967-1971. Series 5: Records, 1972-1980. History The Berkeley Chancellorship was established in 1952. The President of the University was the chief administrative officer at Berkeley until July 1952. Between July 1945 and 1947 delegation of 'full authority, under the president, to administer the [academic] departments on the campus' was granted to a provost-at that time Monroe E. Deutsch. Following the retirement of Deutsch in 1947, the President again assumed direct administrative control of the campus until July 1952, when the first chancellor was appointed and directed to assume operating jurisdiction over the colleges, schools and other organizational units on the Berkeley campus in accordance with the policies of the Regents and of the President of the University. Beginning with this date, therefore, the records of the Office of the Chancellor, represent the highest level records for the Berkeley campus. At the same time it must be said that the process of decentralization begun in the early 1950s continued for many years: it was not until 1960 that each campus had control over the administration of admissions offices, not until 1961 that each campus had authority over campus publications and graduate divisions. While campuses could nominate candidates to faculty positions, and while in 1954 the Regents acted only on appointments and promotions to tenure rank faculty, it was not until 1966 that chancellors were given authority to make tenure appointments and promotions of faculty and to approve all in-scale merit salary increases. And only in 1966 could chancellors award and execute construction contracts and appoint architects. These records represent all phases of activity of the Chancellor's immediate office, not of just the Chancellor himself. Correspondence, memoranda, reports, etc., of the holders of various vice-chancellorial positions will also be found in these files, as well as interaction with academic schools, colleges and department, organized research units, the faculty (including the Academic Senate), student organizations, with campus and systemwide administrative offices, and with extra-university organizations such as the City of Berkeley. Scope and Content of Collection The Records of the Office of the Chancellor, University of California, Berkeley, 1952-[ongoing], includes records for the chancellorships of Clark Kerr, Glenn T. Seaborg, Edward W. Strong, Martin Meyerson, Roger Heyns, and Albert Bowker. The collection includes the administrative records of the Office, including records generated by vice-chancellors and immediate office staff. Correspondence, memoranda, reports, etc., of the holders of various vice-chancellorial positions will also be CU-149 3 found in these files, as well as interaction with academic schools, colleges and department, organized research units, the faculty (including the Academic Senate), student organizations, with campus and systemwide administrative offices, and with extra-university organizations such as the City of Berkeley. Series 1: Records, 1952-1961, includes the chancellorships of Clark Kerr and Glenn T. Seaborg. Clark Kerr was the first Chancellor at Berkeley, from 1952 to 1958, and assumed operating jurisdiction over the colleges, schools and other units on the Berkeley campus. He worked to determine the organization and scope of the office, to formulate long-range academic and physical development plans, and to improve relations with the city of Berkeley. He had been on the Berkeley faculty since 1945, as professor of industrial relations and director of the Institute for Industrial Relations, and left the chancellorship in 1958 to become the 12th president of the University after the retirement of Robert Gordon Sproul. Glenn T. Seaborg was the second Chancellor and served from 1958 to 1961. He had been the Associate Director of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory since 1954 and he left the Berkeley campus to become the chair of the Atomic Energy Commission. He had received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1951. Under his leadership academic and physical development plans for the campus came to fruition. Series 2: Student revolts and related issues, 1964-1972, contains material on various student protest movements from 1964 to 1972 and the administrative response to those movements. Also included are extensive files pertaining to the Board of Educational Development and its intent to address curriculum issues and to institute experimental courses. This series contains material filed under the filing code number 893: Student revolts and related material. These files were maintained separately from other records of the Office of the Chancellor, crossing over the chronological break between series 3 and series 4, and were transferred to University Archives as a separate group. Series 3: Records, 1962-1966, covers the chancellorships of Edward W. Strong, Martin Meyerson (acting chancellor), and the beginning of the tenure of Roger W. Heyns. Edward William Strong, professor of philosophy, was named chancellor in 1961 after holding administrative positions at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, as chair of the department of philosophy and of sociology and social institutions, as associate dean of the College of Letters and Science, as vice-chair of the Berkeley division of the Academic Senate, and as vice-chancellor for academic affairs. Strong did not survive the Free Speech Movement

[who would also be] the executive head of the institution in all its de- partments.” Despite this sweeping description of the president’s powers, the offi ce carried academic but little administrative au- thority in the early days of the University. In 1890, for example, it took a special amendment to the Regents’ Bylaws to give the president authority “to employ, dismiss, and regulate the duties of janitors.”1 As late as 1901, the Regents were still giving individual consideration to each request for replacement of a lost diploma. It was not until the administration of Benjamin Ide Wheeler (1899–1920) that the president truly became, in fact as well as in theory, the chief executive offi cer of the University. By the late 1950s, however, it was clear that the University had outgrown the ability of any one person to administer.

In general, the new process would delegate much more authority to the campus for project approval, and would limit project-specific review by The Regents to very large and complex projects. Each campus would prepare a set of ‘framework’ plans that outline its capital investment strategy and physical design approach. Once those plans are approved by The Regents, then as long as a project meets certain thresholds, and conforms to the framework plans, it could be approved by the Chancellor, subject to a 15 day review by OP. One of these thresholds is dollar value: the currently proposed figure is $60 million or less. The framework plans for Berkeley include 3 documents: • The 2020 Long Range Development Plan provides a land use policy framework, within which projects can be prioritized and planned.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph arid reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". if it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Stephen Pepper's World Hypotheses: Season 1, Episode 1 Welcome To
    Stephen Pepper’s World Hypotheses: Season 1, Episode 1 Welcome to the first episode of the Stephen Pepper thread. The focus of this post is World Hypotheses, Chapters 1-4. My reflections today are largely confined to definitional matters, but I also hope to set the stage for an examination (in my next post) of Pepper’s “root metaphor” theory. Perhaps the clearest path into Pepper’s thought is to consider the place where most of us began our intellectual journey: common sense. For Pepper, common sense includes “the sorts of things we think of when we ordinarily read the papers…or the sort of things we see and hear and smell and feel as we walK along the street or in the country…” (p. 39). Pepper considers common sense as a loose synonym for Plato’s notion of “opinion” (p. 39). I’m also reminded of the “natural attitude” described by phenomenologists. For Pepper, the world of common sense can be characterized as “secure” in the sense that it is “never lacking” – i.e., we can always fall back on it: • “No cognition can sink lower than common sense, for when we completely give up trying to Know anything, then is precisely when we Know things in the common-sense way. In that lies the security of common sense” (p. 43). But, in spite of its security, common sense is also “cognitively irritable”: • “The materials of common sense are changing, unchanging, contradictory, vague, rigid, muddled, melodramatically clear, unorganized, rationalized, dogmatic, shrewdly dubious, recKlessly dubious, piously felt, playfully enjoyed, and so forth.

  • 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.
