Green State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Of I No. Hi? THE PHASING OUT OF AN INNOVATIVE SUBCOLLEGE/CLUSTER COLLEGE (MONTEITH COLLEGE, WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY): A CASE STUDY IN CONFLICT DYNAMICS Arumynayagam Malkia Perus 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 May 1978 green state UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES ABSTRACT The study describes and analyzes the closure of Monteith College, Wayne State University (WSU) and the related conflict dynamics and policy formation processes. Monteith was a subcollege established in 1959 to improve the quality of undergraduate education. It was based on the cluster college model. In spite of the opposition from the College of Liberal Arts, Monteith came into existence because of a grant from the Ford Foundation and the support from President Hilberry. Monteith had a great impact on its students, similar to the elite colleges. According to several scholarly studies, Monteith students changed dramatically. However, Monteith had the problems of high costs and attrition rates. In 1971, a new Wayne State President reorganized the Central Administration. The new Provost, previously the Physics Department Chairman, had long been an opponent of Monteith. In 1971, the newly appointed Monteith Dean, new also to Wayne State, refused Central Administration "dictates. Consequently, without needed Central Adminis­ tration support, Monteith was in political trouble. Because of the financial problem since 1970, Michigan State Legislature requested all of public higher education to cut down tie expenses. The Central Administration and the Board of Governors of WSU decided to close down Monteith in May 1975 as one step. Bitter contro­ versies resulted partly because proper academic procedures were not followed. The University Council suspended in protest, and the national AAUP questioned the procedure. The University Council reconvened after the Board of Governors accepted the statutory change, assuring faculty participation in academic matters. The Council appointed an Ad Hoc Monteith Committee to study Monteith. The Committee recommended Monteith’s phase-out. The Council debated the issue and endorsed the recommendations. The Board of Governors endorsed the phase-out in December 1975. Balridge’s political model was used to study policy formation. The study shows that the Central Administration had the upper hand, using political weapons to influence and control. A major finding is that central administration support is crucial to innovation survival. Ill IN APPRECIATION This study was possible because of the co-operation of the participating universities and tbeit subcolleges in Michigan and Ohio. My special thanks goes to Dr. Yates Hafner for giving me permission to study Monteith College. I am also grateful to the Monteith faculty and the Central Administrators of Wayne State University for their co-operation. I sincerely thank all my committee members for sparing their precious time in guiding me till the final step. My special apprecia­ tion to Dr. Morris J. Weinberger for his inituitive advice, timely help, and constant encouragement. He is my Guru in the literal sense of the Indian usage. I also thank Dr. Malcolm Campbell for his constructive comments and suggestions at the initial stages of the proposal. Grateful acknowledgements are due Dr. Mearl R. Guthrie, Chairman of the Business Education Department and to the Department of Educational Administration and Supervision for providing a Doctoral Fellowship to enable me to pursue my doctoral program. Above all, I am thankful to my heavenly Father for giving me knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, and also for sustaining me with energy and perseverance to bring this study to a completion. Praise be unto the Lord. A. Malkia Perus IV TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.

  • B.Joseph White Becomes Dean
    B.Joseph White Becomes Dean The Magazine of the School of Business Administration • University of Michigan • Spring 1991 Dea r Alumni and Friends, Many of you have written to congratulate me on my appointment as the Dean of the Michigan Business School. I am honored by this appointment and your generous thoughts mean a great deal to me. Three words best describe my feelings in taking on this job: responsibility, challenge, and excitement. Responsibility comes from the fact that we are all beneficiaries of over 60 years of investment in the Business School made by present and past members of the community. Now we are the stewards, responsible to ensure continued excellence. We must commit ourselves to continued development of this institution, so that we can pass along to future generations a School not just as good as todays, but better. This is what our predecessors did for us; now we owe no less to our successors. Our challenge is to achieve excellence in our mission of educating students, developing and disseminating knowledge, and helping the institutions of business become more effective. It is a mission that we pursue at a time of tremendous opportunity, but also at a time of unprecedented expectations on the part of our stakeholders as well as intense competition among leading business schools. The escalating performance standards and heightened competitive dynamics which have challenged industry after industry in the last ten years are now on our doorstep. The excitement I feel is a result of my high level of confidence in our current strategic position and of the commitment and support given by the entire Business School family: our alumni, our friends, and the corporations we serve.

In July of that year he was ordained by the Presbytery of St. Lawrence, and assigned as a missionary to the little towns of Evans Mills and Antwerp in Jefferson County, New York. Under the vivid preaching of this ex-lawyer a wave of revivalism began to sweep through the whole region.^ Following the revival of 1824-27, Finney carried the religious awakening into Philadelphia, New York City, and Rochester, New York.

    PlistoriosLl 3R,e*v-ie"W" The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front-cover illustration is a reproduc­ tion of George Caleb Bingham's portrait of John Woods Harris. Moving in 1817 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Thrall's Prairie in western Boone County, Missouri, Harris became a prominent merchant and agriculturalist. Harris experimented in agriculture and continually enlarged, improved and developed his farm. In 1873 the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded Harris's farm the title of "Model Farm of Missouri." Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Rocheport and Middle Grove. He won election as Boone Coun­ ty's representative to the Missouri legislature in 1860 and 1864. Harris also served on the University of Missouri's board of curators. George Caleb Bingham, a friend of Harris, completed this portrait in 1837. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, presented the portrait to the State Historical Society in 1923. The Harris portrait, along with fourteen other portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, four engravings, two litho­ graphs and numerous sketches presently are being displayed in the Society's Art Gallery. This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bingham's death. The State Historical Society Art Gallery is open to the public 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday, excepting legal holi­ days.

Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.

From the collections of the George Washington Carver National Monument. Thirst for Knowledge: Historic Context for the 1872 Neosho Colored School The first national superintendent of schools for the Freedmen’s Bureau, northerner John W. Alvord, began his tenure with the Bureau in late 1865 with a personal tour of the former confederate states. His first report for the Bureau, written in January of 1866, commenced with the following notes. “The desire of the freedmen for knowledge cannot be overstated.” He included a list of reasons for that enthusiasm, the first of which was “the natural thirst for knowledge common to man.”1 1 John W.

  • Introduction 1
    N o t e s Introduction 1. Seville Heritage Plantation, St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. Recreated models of slave houses on the site of this former sugar plantation show that dirt was frequently banked around the cabins as a sort of foundation and barrier to keep out rain, rodents, and snakes. Visited in July 2004. 2. These dates cover the first documented West Indian slave narrative in 1709 and concludes with the abolition of slavery and apprentice- ship in the British West Indies. Second, throughout this project I use the term “British West Indies” rather than Anglophone Caribbean to acknowledge the specific colonial context of these narratives. Finally, when I’m discussing elements common to the wider Caribbean, I use the term “Caribbean,” and British West Indies to refer specifically to the Anglophone, British- held Caribbean colonies. 3. See Dwight McBride (2001). 4. See Costanzo (1993); Ferguson, especially “Introduction.” In The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave (1998); Handler (1998); Paquet (1992); and Warner- Lewis (2007). 5. In “Capturing the Captivity Narrative,” Rafia Zafar (1991) discusses the ways in which many early black narrators, slave and free, manipulated the conventions of the captivity narrative to reflect their differently racial- ized experiences of captivity. 6. See Zafar (1991) and Armstrong and Tennenhouse (1993). 7. See Aravamudan (1999). 8. Like any genre, its texts not only share many similarities but also exhibit compelling and explicit distinctions. 9. Other elements include beginning with some version of “I was born,” including descriptions of violence and the separation of families, a slave sale, descriptions of masters and mistresses and other whites, and so forth.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 107 169 HE 006 484 AUTHOR Cowley, W. H. TITLE Notes on the Life of John Monteith, 1788-1868. PUB DATE 20 Mar 75 NOTE 61p.; Appendixes may reproduce poorly due to legibility of original document EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$3.32 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS College Administration; Colleges; *Edcational History; Faculty; *Higher Education; *Religious Organizations; *Social Action; *Social Change; Students; Trustees; Universities IDENTIFIERS Monteith (John); University of Michigan ABSTRACT John Monteith played a leading role at Hamilton College during the 1820's in an upheaval that paralleled those of the 1960's. The subject matter of the two conflicts differed greatly, but both involved the same groups of combatantsadministrators, faculty members, students, trustees, and external organizers. This review of Monteith's career brings some illuminating and authoritative answers to many questions about what happened at Hamilton during its nearly disastrous early history. The paper also touches on antebellum influences of organized religious bodies and their feuding factions on colleges and universities, and the social reform movements in the United States during Monteith's lifetime. Appendixes 1 and 2 reproduce relevant pages from 1875 and 1941 published histories of the University of Michigan at whose antecedent institution Monteith held 7 of the 13 blueprinted professorships and also its presidency. Appendix 3 has been typed from an 1833 pamphlet written by President Henry Davis of Hamilton College describing an episode in Monteith's stay there. Appendix 4 reviews the beginnings of Hamilton College. Appendix 5 consists of footnotes and supplementary data. (Author/KE) r 1111 --I NOTES ON THE LIFE OF JOHN MONTEITH, 1788-1868 .1 N.H.
