The Council of Graduate Schools in the UnitedStates 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20036 PREFACE The second Summer Workshop for Graduate Deans, sponsored and supported by the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States,was held from July 6 to 11, 1969, at the University of California Conference Center in the attractive mountain setting of Lake Arrowhead, California. Cooperating in its sponsorship were the California Institute of Technology, the Claremont Graduate School and University Center, the University of Southern California, and the University of California, Los Angeles. The Workshop program was arranged by a Planning Committee which included, first and foremost, Gustave 0. Arlt, President of the Council of Graduate Schools and Robert E. McDermott, of the Pennsylvania State Uni- versity, both of whom contributed freely of their insights and experience gained at the first Summer Workshop at Penn State in 1963. They were joined by the regional graduate deans, H. Frederic Bohnenblust of the California Institute of Technology, Robert S. Kinsman, who additionally had participated in the first Workshop, and myself, of UCLA, Charles G. Mayo of the University of Southern California, and Philip M. Rice of the Claremont Graduate School and University Center.Until his tragic terminal illness, Warren C. Scoville of UCLA had also participated actively and had agreed to serve as a discussion leader. With the pattern of the first Workshop asa guide, the Committee was able to recruit an outstandingly talented series of speakers for morning and evening presentations, and of leaders for afternoon discussion. The forty Workshop participants, from institutions in all parts of the country, proved a remarkably stimulating and congenial group, thatwas enriched through the week by members of the Executive and Costs-Study Committees of the CGS, who were meeting at Lake Arrowhead concurrently. All appreci- ated the superb competence of Mrs. Ruth Weeks, Workshop Coordinator, and the many contributions of her staff and that of the Center to everyone's well-being. Both the setting and the weather were beautiful and a range of recreational facilitieswas thoroughly enjoyed. In short, the Work- shop provided a most pleasant and memorable experience for all involved. The Proceedings which follow collate the presentations and summarize the discussions around major topics of concern. Comments and letters following the Workshop have pointed out how outstanding and stimulating these contributions were. Their published assembly, for which again Mrs. Weeks has been responsible, will provide pleasant recollections to those in attendance and bring something of the flavor and value of the Workshop to a wider group who we wish might have been able to attend. All of us who cooperated in the sponsorship of the Workshopare deeply appreciative of the opportunity to have been involved. H. W.

Arlt Council of Graduate Schools in theUnited States As I look over the voluminous andstill-growing shelf of loose- leaf binders in which my writings and speakingsof the past ten years have been and are still being assembled,I find that the topic assigned to me today runs likea Leitmotif--an ever recurring theme--through vol- ume after volume. To continue the musical metaphor, I mightsay it ap- pears in a series of, variations and modulations--GraduateEducation Today, New Developments in Graduate Education,Today's Expanding Graduate School --but the central theme always remains thesame from year to year. Natur- ally, I leafed through volumeafter volume in the hope that I might find some little piece that I could warm overor refurbish with up-to-date statistics and use for this occasion. I might have saved myself the time and trouble. Ten years ago, five yearsago, one could review with satis- faction the ever-rising enrollments andthe astronomic contributions of the Federal government, the states,the foundations, and private donors. One could point with pride to theunparalleled progress in the sciences with perhaps a condescending nod in thedirection of the arts and humani- ties. In a brief paragraph one could view withalarm the overemphasis on research and the resultant neglectof teaching, but one dismissed it in- dulgently as an error that wouldcorrect itself in time. And one could conclude this panegyric with the confidentassurance that God's in His heaven, all's right with the world ofgraduate education. That was yesterday. That was a period of prosperity and euphoria and complacency. We saw established universitiesreach new plateaus of quality and prestige. We saw new institutions flourish phenomenallyand at the same time try to moderate theirexpansion with efforts to attain the standards of excellence set bytheir elders. We saw a succession of far-seeing and sympathetic Federaladministrations developnew educational programs and provide support for them at levelsunprecedented and unparal- leled anywhere at any time. Private and corporate benefactions reached new heights. And for the first time in American history,the universities and the academic profession achieveda measure of respectability and res- pect in a materialistic society. Graduate education was everyone's fair- haired child. But now the end of, our short-lived goldenera is in sight. Federal funds are drying up faster than they beganto flow. Foundations that pro- vided supplementary supportare fighting for their existence. State legis- latures have made cuts in their appropriationsto public universities and colleges, and many have enacted restrictivelegislation to withhold funds from both public and private institutions thatdo not maintain order on their campuses. The education associations based in Washingtonare locked in battle with the Congressover a whole spate of bills providing all sorts of punitive measures against students, faculties,and institutions as a whole, and right nowwe seem to be on the losing side. The outlook for students for this fall is bleakas the II-S deferments
