A Glimpse Into The Future 68 This report contains a brief description of the University of Arizona. It is a textual and visual pictur9 of the University today, augmented by a glimpse of its dynamic growth during the past decade. As dramatic as this development has been, the University's real goal is the attainment of that excellence which is the hallmark of every JOHN P. SCHAEFER great university. It is not enough to be a good land-grant institution. PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA The Universiy of Arizona must be one of the very best. Mindful of its historic mission of instruction, research and service, the University will strive for quality, though quantity may indeed fol- low in its wake. IfI may paraphrase Browning, our reach must always exceed our grasp. We will seek to achieve superiority in each en- deavor which properly engages us. I hope I will be forgiven a persoral note in this, my first general report to the University's constituency.I am mindful of all who have contributed to this school in the past as well as those thousands who serve it so well today. I am uniquely indebted to those who have previously presided over the destiny of this institution. Special tribute is due my immediate predecessor, Dr. Richard A. Harvill, who with distinction guided the University's fortunes for two decades immediately prior to my assumption of the presidency on July 1, 1971. This University consists of many persons: students, faculty, Regents, alumni. legislators, and countless friends.It has vast cuitural and physical resources. Yet it is far greater than the sum of all its parts. It is living testimony both to past accomplishments and tomorrow's brightest hopes. The University must not only reflect and serve the society from which it springs. It must strengthen the fabric of that society and improve the very quality of our lives. It is a sacred trust, a torch to be lifted high, renewed, enlarged, and passed on to each succeeding gener- ation.

Tod.w's students are far more interested in such m fitters as curriculum and excellence of instruction than were those of the sixties. The turbulence of that decade spread all over the country and then finally subsided, leaving much destruction in its wake. Toe University had its share of students objecting to the establishment, passionately es- pousing various causes, and generally hostile to any sort of authority. But little or no violence ensued. Channels of communication between students, faculty and administration have oeen recently wid- ersd. A flew office of Vice President for Student Relations was created last year.It provides for quick and open communication by giving students ready access to the highest councils of the administration. Students still become involved in various campaigns, want "relevancy" in their classes, concern themselves with environmental and many other societal problems, but express their goals in rational ways. Ttisy have seen that many of their objectives, such as liberalization of rules for students living on campus, and dropping of compul-a sory R.O.T.C., have been attained by working through accepted channels. Today's attitudes and actions of s+Jdents reflect a stability and maturity unmatched since the days of World War II veterans. This is not to say that intellectual ferment and vocal dissent have disappeared from the campus. This is not and should never be the case. But a general sense of warmth. understanding and seriousness marks students' behavior now. They simply reflect an increasing/ intellect+ -II, emotional and psycho- logical maturity that augurs hopefully for their development and future achievements. This is a valuable asset to any university which aspires to greatness.

Its five major divisions are; Child Development and Family Relations; Food, Human Nutrition and Dietetics; Family Economics and Home Management; Cloth- ing, Textiles, and Interior Design; and Home Eco- nomics Education. The School itself has increased both in numbers of students and faculty during tne past decade. There are home economists stationed in each of Arizona's fourteen counties who work closely with regular extension agents and home economics in- structors on the campus. Dr. Ruth Hall, Director of the School, was president of the 50,000 member American Home Economics Association during 1964-66. President-elect of the Association is Mrs. Margaret Edsel Fitch, currently State Leader, Home Economics Extension. The College of Agriculture's modern and flexible approach to scientific agriculture is obviously successful. In an era when the farm population has shrunk enormously, the College's undergraduate enrollment has increased by 200 percent the last few years, its graduate enrollment almost 400 percent! Thus the College of Agriculture is growing. It is certainly attempting to respond to the 'shifting needs of the ranchers, farmers and other agricultural interests of Arizona.

It also trains students for work in such public management areas as corrections, law enforcement, public recreation, and health services. The genera' organization of the College designed to achieve the above goals was largely established by Dr. Shaw Livermore, former Dean of the College from 1957 to 1963. Areas of especial interest to adult audiences within the categories listed ahove include income taxes, real estate brokerage, risk management, office administration, collective bar- gaining, arbitration, and others. Although its growth in terms of student enrollinent has not been as dramatic as that of certain other colleges, it is the second largest college on campus. There are more than 3,500 students in the College, of whom 400 are graduate students. Admission standards have been significantly tightened. The College has been fully accredited within the past decade. Its faculty has been marked by both quali- tative and quantitative growth. During the past five years there has been virtually a complete turnover in top departmental and administrative positions Many well-known scholars have been attracted from all over the country to head the various disciplines in the College. There are more than a hun- dred faculty members in the College today. Faculty members keep in close touch with the business community in Tucson, the State of Arizona, and the entire country. A limited number of senior faculty, particularly those in "professional speciali- zations," are nationally known. Among these are Hollis Dixon in income taxation, Helmut Frank in a 1)r. .N:estor R.

The objectives of the College are to train coming generations of experts for service in industry, gov- 4,4 ernment, and education; to conHuct research that provides new knowledge into the earth and its resources; and to provide technical advice to local governmental bodies through service of various types. As man's needs for resources steadily rise and his environmental concerns increase, the need for skilled manpower, new knowledge and public service also increases. Other colleges and units within the University also deal with major com- ponents of the planet earth in their academic; and research programs. Strong relationships are maintained between those groups and the College of Earth Sciences. To support its teaching and research, the College has a variety of specialized equipment and appa- ratus, and maintains an extensive collection of modern and prehistoric tree-ring specimens, a comprehensive pollen-spore reference set, and sys- tematic mineral, rock, ore, and fossil reference specimens. Its Museum of Mineralogy is one of the 4t=""JOY finest in the West and is open to the general public.

This School educates per Ins for careers of all sorts in library science: in academic, public, special, or school libraries.

The changes in the College's programs during the last decade reflected in some degree the decade itself. The 1960's were marked by a significant growth and change in the law itself. This has been reflected in the curriculum. The basic constitutional law course has been split into four separate offerings. Courses in environmental law, antitrust and regu- lated industries, local government law, and state and local taxation have been added. The complexity of many areas of business law has resulted in new and advanced offerings. Seminars have been added to provide deeper coverage of particular topics. Visiting legal scholars regularly come to the campus for lectures in their specialties. And stronger offerings have been provided in areas of particular interest to Arizona, such as mining and water law, and the law of international trade as it affects dealings with Latin America. There are now 26 full-time members of the faculty. Although primarily concerned with the training of law students, the College has not neglected its scholarly obligations or its duties to the State. The faculty has produced many significant articles and books. Individual faculty members have achieved national reputations. The Law College Association was organized in 1967. This generates funds for academic purposes and develops closer understanding between the school and the practicing profession. The College's faculty has been active in continuing education enterprises,in bar association activities, and in lending its services to the resolution of a variety of problems within the State. In support of these activities, the law library has tripled in size over the last ten years. A substantial collection of Latin American materials has been added. This comprises 7,500 of the total 110,000 volumes in the 24 library.

The excellence of the Department is indicated by a I the constant awarding o' grants for research from outside sources. Only $250,000 from outside funds l )r. Carl T.ToPtit2tika was given to the Department in 1963. This compares Ppote,or with $1.4 million granted for research from outside sources in 1973. The Department now has a number of areas in which it is known internationally for its excellence. One such area is atomic physics which maintains its unique excellence in beam-foil spectroscopy, discovered by Dr. Stanley Bashkin in 1963. Physics of solids is another area, especially the study of electronic properties of solids. Other well-known fields include those of high energy physics, quan- tum optics, nuclear physics, general relativity and electron optics, to name only a few. Nationally known professors include: Drs. Carl T. Tomizuka, Theodore Bowen, Bruce R. Barrett, Henry A. Hill, Royal W. Stark, Marian 0. Scully, Robert H. Par- merter, Alvar P. Wilska, and R. W. G. Wyckoff.

35 PSYCHOLOGY Psychology is at one time a scholarly discipline, a scientific field, and a professional activity. Its over- all focus is on the study of both animal and human behavior, and related mental and physiological prccesses. The Department of Psychology made tremendous strides qualitatively and quantitatively from 1963 to 1973, both in the fields of experimental BEST COPYAVAJLA:1141. and clinical psychology. Today the Department stands recognized throughout the land as outstanding in virtually every respect. Its emphasis is on I. experimental, comparative, physiological, social, and developmental psychology, and the psychology of personality. As the era of activism is apparently ending, students have tended to become more introspective and in- clined toward self-examination. Like certain other disciplines, psychology has become an extremely popular subject with the typical student during the past few years. More than 2,500 students annually enroll in the first-year psychology classes. More than 200 of these finally end up as psychology majors by graduation. During the decade of 1963-73, the University awarded 157 master's and 102 doctorates in psychology. National recognition is obvious. More than a thou- sand students in 1973 applied for graduate work in psychology. Yet there were only 20 new graduate places to be accommodate d. Placement of psychology majors in both universities and various medical facilities is an easy task. Grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Aero- nautics and Space Authority, and the National Insti- tute of Health have increased the work in experimental psychology significantly. With the aid of a $600,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Psychology moved into its own $2.4 million building in 1968. Psychology staff members work closely with those in the College of Medicine, particularly in the fields of psychiatry and physiology. Departmental membership has more than doubled in the last decade, from 12 in 1963, to 25 in 1973. The faculty abounds with members who have national reputations. Just a few of these are: Dr. Neil Bartlett, specialist in perception; Dr. Robert Lansing, renowned for his work in physiological psychology; and Dr. Richard Goan, expert in the psychology of personality. These professors and others have made the Uni- versity's Department of Psychology one of the very best in the nation. I )r. *cilk. Bartlett Prot,orof PopIloto,o/

36 SOCIOLOGY Sociology is one of the behavioral sciences which has become very popular with students in the last several years. As the riots of the 1960's abated, students decided to work within the establishment. They became more introspective, began to study themselves, and took courses in such fields as sociology. For example, 1,800 students attended sociology classes at the University in 1963 while almost 6,500 enrolled in them in 1973. During the last decade the number of both Sociol- ogy faculty members and student majors increased dramatically. A faculty of 8 grew to one of 19. A strong graduate program began. The sirst doctorate was awarded in1972. Many innovations were made within the Department. Constant evaluation of teachers was instituted. The introductory course in sociology, formerly given by teaching assistants, now had its lectures given by 12 members of the senior faculty. Outstanding professors were recruited. Among these was Dr. Robert Nisbet, former dean and vice chancellor of the University of California at River- side. Another distinguished sociologist recently joining the faculty is Dr. Otis Duncan, formerly at the University of Michigan, a member of the Na- tional Academy of Sciences and universally recognized as one of the premier sociologists in the world. Dr. Jack Gibbs of the University of Texas is a new member of the Department. The addition of these nationally-known persons to the faculty has in turn attracted many bright young faculty members and graduate students. Much research in the form of books, articles and other studies is being performed. A number of the faculty, and even graduate students, are now operating the research and evaluation programs of many of the social agencies of the State. The Department emphasizes both quantitative theory and quantitative methodology. It is performing much of the innovative work now being done throughout the nation in these areas of the discipline. Its substantive areas of strength are socia! change, social stratification and ethnic relations, criminology, urban sociology, medical sociology, and demography. Sociology as a discipline seems to be switching from verbal to mathematical theo- ries, as did economics in the 1950's. Sociology at the University is among the three or four departments in the nation leading in this development.

The rapid expansion nationally of health services has resulted in a tremendous growth of students and faculty in the College. There were 24 faculty members in 1963. There are 70 today. An enrollment of 300 in 1963 compares with 925 today, some 75 of whom are in the graduate nursing program. The College moved into a new building in 1967 adjacent to the Medical Center. Yet itis already crowded because of enrollment increases. The demand for college-trained nurses shows no sign of abating. The undergraduate nursing degree may be obtained by work during four academic years plus one summer session. Some 40 percent of the curriculum is composed of clinicalnursing, with actual work being performed for patients. Nursing students are trained not only in the University Hospital but in all other major health care institutions in Tucson. The first two years of the on-campus curricui m involve enrollment in many courses of a scientific nature, including biological sciences, chemistry and pharmacy, as well as a broad range of cultural courses. Students working towards the master of science degree specialize in the following areas of nursing: child care, community health, medical-surgical care, psychiatric-mental health, and geriatrics. The College is one of the few schools in America wlich offers geriatric nursing. In a program sponsored by the American Lung Association, there are several nurses taking graduate work in pu'monary disease specialties. Aided by a grant from the Department BEST COPY AVAILABLE of Health, Education and Welfare, there is a nurse- scientist program in which 28 nurses are working for their doctorates in anthropology, psychology, sociology, biological sciences, physiology or education.

Many graduate programs have attained distinguished reputations throughout the land. Brilliant teachers and outstanding students have been attracted. In a number of fields, work done on the graduate level at the University is second to none. Graduate enrollment has increased from 2,778 in 1963 to 5,950 in 1973, an increase of some 114 percent. In 1963, doctorates could be obtained in 40 fields of study and master's in 70 fields. In 1973, doctorates were availablein 69 separate disciplines, master's in119, and the new specialist degree in 3 areas. Faculty members from all departments supervise students working on these graduate programs. The College attempts to answer special societal demands in a number of ways. This is illustrated c' arly by the introduction of new doctorates in business administration as well as computer science, oriental studies, and reading.

the Laboratory conducts a unique program designed to utilize millennia-long, precisely dated tree-ring chronologies as an index to past environmental conditions and as a basis for accurately dating prehistoric structures and events. Computers and other new analytical tools have revolutionized the practice of dendrochronology and the allied science of dendroclimatology. Cur- rent research efforts are directed toward the quan- tification of tree-ring parameters, the establishment of new tree-ring chronologies throughout the world, the understanding of basic tree-growth and envi- a bronmental relationships, the reconstruction of 4" paleohydrologic and paleoclimatic variables, and the documentation and development of prehistoric &Ai chronological controls. The Tucson general area has been called the astronomical center of the free world. The National Science Foundation in 1957 established the first national optical, astronomical observatory on Kitt Peak, located 53 miles southwest of Tucson. Many telescopes of varying magnitudes, valued at scores upon scores of millions of dollars, have been placed at Kitt Peak during the past fifteen years. The Observatory has attracted astronomers from all over the world. It has helped make the University one of the world's leading institutions in astronomical research. In the forefront of the University's C pre-eminence in astronomy has been its Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, one of the nation's foremost laboratories devoted to the study of the planets. The Laboratory was founded by Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, a brilliant scientist and world-renowned astronomer who came to the University from the University of Chicago in 1960. Since that time the Laboratory has grown to a total faculty and staff of 99 persons. The Laboratory is housed in a building of 50,00U square feet, originally funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Faculty members of the Laboratory work closely with other University astronomers, a number teaching in the Department of Astronomy.

They have served as principal investigators and co-investigators on many NASA space missions. The Laboratory houses one of the largest archival collections of photographs from Rangers, Surveyors, Orbiters, and Mariners used for research. This is complemented by heavy observing programs using ground-based telescopes. Ground-based observations are carried out at three locations maintained by the Laboratory: Mt. Lem- mon, the Catalina site in the Santa Catalina Moun- tains, and Tumamoc Hill west of Tucson. Joint arrangements for observing as well as operation of telescopes owned by other universities at Mt.

This will bring to the faculty a number of distinguished astronomers %Plc) will participate in instructional as well as research programs. It will then be possible to receive both a master's and doctor's degree in planetary sciences. The new department will complement the research role of the Laboratory with this teaching function, while at the same time broadening and diversifying research areas to include new topics such as planetary geochemistry, the solar wind, and meteoritics. The Optical Sciences Center is a research center for applied and theoretical optical technology. Uni- versity-industry relationships are fostered so that University research advances can be rapidly developed by industry. The University's program is one of only two significant efforts of its kind in this country, and lends a special educational capability to the massive optics interests in the University/Kitt Peak National Observatory's astronomical efforts. Both faculty and research personnel contribute to the graduate curriculum in optical sciences for advanced degree students. The University offers master's and doctor's degrees in optical sciences, in addition to the degree of optical specialist. The Center's extensive facilities are used for research. Modern optics technology is extraordinarily diverse. Exploration in all fields of optics is being conducted at the Center. Work is being performed on large telescopes and cameras for aerial recon- naissance. Certain large programs currently under way are impressive.

This involves a broad interdisciplinary approach to local 4.Midtik; and worldwide problems of utilization of arid lands, taking advantage of the warm, dry climate of southern Arizona. Arid Lands Studies receives support from federal, institutional, and State funds, furnishes information to the public and the scientific- governmental community, and administers the Graduate College's unique doctor of philosophy degree in arid lands resource sciences. Since roughly 30 percent of the land surface of the world is arid or semiarid, research activities in this area are most significant.

Its volumes are distributed through buyers and bookstores throughout the United States and in 85 foreign countries. The Press has won awards for production and design of many volumes and participates annually in iiundreds of book exhibits conducted jointly with other university presses. Books with an academic audience are merchandised primarily by direct mail contacts with educators, and given additional exposure at national professional meetings and conferences. Its volumes have attracted widespread, favorable publicity to the University and State, and have added significantly to the vast storehouse of man's knowledge. The University Hospital is Arizona's major resource for clinical teaching in medicine, nursing, pharmacy and other health-related services.Italso serves the State with patient care in virtually every field of medicine. More than 200 of its 300 beds are already in operation. The entire hospital provides programs designed to investigate, demonstrate and promote means of achieving health care of the highest quality. Many Arizonans were served by the hospital during 1972-73: 6,241 as inpatients, 50,666 as outpatients, and 18,575 for emergency treatment. There are many fascinating and valuable museums on the campus. The Mineralogical Museum contains mineral and rock specimens found in Arizona and the Southwest. It holds particularly interesting collections of copper, silver and gold found throughout Arizona. The Arizona Pharmacy Museum contains a permanent display of territorial-day pharmacy tools, pictures, herbs, bottles, jars, books and supplies.Italso has a replica of an early-day "botica," a pharmacy of the old Southwest, complete with appropriate furniture and other equipment.

The outstanding character- istic of all higher education is change. Each year varies from the previous one. The University's planning must remain flexible, for there is no certainty what the definite outlines of the University for the next decade, or even the next year, will be. One thing is certain however. The University will continue on the road to acaaemic excellence. It will attempt to offer the finest possible instruction, to foster the most careful and productive research, to push back the barriers of knowledge, to translate that knowledge into greater service to the people of the State, and thereby increase the quality of life for all Arizonans. This is the master plan for the University of Arizona today and tomorrow.
