MORRIS and his wife spent the early part ·o f this month in Cuba where Dr. Morris addressed Cuban educators and laymen at the request of the U. S. State Department. Morris delivered the final address at a public forum which concluded a ' one-month Cuban Educational Conference devoted to "integral reform'' of the public school system of Cuba. He showed the SIU film, "The Peep le' s University," at the consultation session. "Public schools in a democracy must stay close to the needs of the pe0ple," Dr. Morris told his audience. "Rather than remain apart from daily living, the public schools should so .entwine themselves into the daily life of the communities about them that ' they furnish intellectual leadership and stimulate dynamic social growth. "In a democracy schools must be citadels of freedom to learn and freedom to .teach the truth wherever it may lead . . . They must also be free of political or religious dogma and free of economic or racial bigotry." Pointing out that a society cannot rise above the potential of the persons who make up that society, Morris said that in a democracy each future citizen should have the opportunity to develop skills and talents and cultivate his intellect "to the outer limits of his own capacities . . . Our schools must, therefore, assume the responsibility of providing the learning experiences that will bring about maximum achievement of the individuals making up the democracy." Morris continued by pointing out that "in a democracy educators face the difficult task of refraining from political propaganda and, BULLETIN Mildred Arnold, Editor Broadview Hotel Bridge 4-2100, Extension 5 at the same time, preparing students to assume responsibilities of self government. The vast world changes in our generation are causing a reappraisal of many things in our country. They have caused us, as they are causing you, to reappraise, reevaluate and reorient public education . It is my belief that our nation could not exist as it is today had there not been from the beginning a desire for universal free education and the will to achieve it. That our nation is not a perfect nation is due to the fact that our educational system has not been perfect. However, we have endured and grown stronger as a democratic nation because we have staked our democracy on the belief that an enlightened electorate will be able to govern itself." Dr . and Mrs. Morris spent a week visiting schools in Cuba and talking with educators and government officials about schools. One of the highlights of their visit was a luncheon at the ambassador's residence. ALONZO MYERS VISITS CAMPUS Alonzo F. Myers, chairman of New York University's Department of Higher Education, was on campus earlier this month reviewing the progress of the Southwestern Illinois Campus' program. Three years ago community leaders in Madison and St. Clair counties formed the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education to promote better educational opportunities for the people of this area. Under this organization's sponsorship and with the financial backing of local industry, Dr. Myers was hired to make a comprehensive survey of the need for higher educational facilities in the two-county region. In December of 1956 he began a three-month study and subsequently recommended that SIU �- 2 - open "residence" centers in Alton and East St. Louis. During his recent visit Myers consulted with SIU staff members and members of the Council and made recommendations to President Morris and Vice President HAROLD W. SEE. • ALFRED G.

MEMO FROM THE DESK OF THE DEAN In the light of our discussions about the recognition and rewarding of good teaching, I believe you will be interested in two paragraphs from Tomorrow's Professors. This brochure has just been released by the Ford Foundation, having been prepared for the Fund for the Advancement of Education by John S. Diekhoff: "If a program of class observations is undertaken, the absolute sovereignty of the professor in his classroom seems to be challenged. Paul Klapper, commenting on this academic attitude, pointed out that a surgeon is flattered when a colleague asks to observe an operation and a trial lawyer flattered if his legal confreres make a point of observing his conduct of a case. A member of the English staff at the East "The professor is different.

Don't we pay enough taxes for our state universities to buy their own land?" Or you may have had this question posed, 11 Hhy 2,600 acres?" The following information should help you answer these questions. Historically, colleges have been started on plots of land which proved to be in• adequate in size. Today scores of them are faced with the alternative of turning away students or overflowing into commercial districts and residential areas where property values have risen inordinately. With too small an original land site, the growing institution cheats itself in direct ratio to its ot·m growth. A campus Hith sufficient acreage is better able from the outset to cope "t>lith the tremendous traffic problem created by a large student body comprised wholly of commuters. In too many instcnces, urban universities with limited land holdings are unable to prevent the development of undesirable enterprises or unsightly construction adjacent to academic buildings. Campuses located in metropolitan a~eas must constantly battle against encroaching slums. If the battle is unsuccessful, and if there is no protective buffer zone, these encroachments materially reduce the effectiveness of these urban institutions of higher learning. .. t-1ost important, a university \-lith an adequate campus can better provide the facilities for outdoor education, physical fitness training, experiment stations, research tracts, essential utilities and other undertakings so essential to a university program. It is believed that Southern's new campus \17ill be one of the fe\-T urban universities in the entire country that will not be harassed by problems of land acquisition. The idea of a county providing a campus for a state university is not new to Illinois. Champaign County, in a five-way race for the University of Illinois, won it by offering 980 acres of land, plus other material considerations and by lobbying a bill through the legislature. Incidentally, according to the 1956 edition of American Universities and Colleges, published by the American Council on Education, the University of Illinois conprises 5,639 acres. This does not take into consideration any expansion on their part since 1956. Opponents of the site have been saying that the Illinois campus is less than 500 acres. Two of the most recent examples of campuses presented to state universities are the $7,600,000 D3arborn Campus of the University of Michigan.,.( and the $10,000,000 Oakland County Canpus of Michigan State University."("( *210 acres, assessed at $10,000 pr:f .c acre before construction of buildings, were given by the Ford faa1i.ly; $6,5CO,OOO Has given by the Ford Foundation for buildines.

Rackham, and it regularly receives major research grants from private corporations (e . g., $400,000 from the Carnegie Corporation in 1957). The University of Kansas acquired 20 of its buildings throu:::;h g.i fts, the University of Delrovare 15, and the following universities one or more buildings each: Ohio State University, vJestern State College, Eastern Michigan College, State College of Hashington, and the universities of Alabama, California, California at Los Angeles, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, South Dakota and l1innesota (Duluth branch). Many state university libraries receive private donations, such as J. K. Lilly's gift of rare books to Indiana University, valued at $5,000,000. Annual income from private gifts runs to $10,000,000 and more each for such land-grant institutions as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell and Ohio State universities, and the University of Minnesota, with the universities of California, Illinois and Hisconsin each receiving from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 per year, the University of Pennsylvania and Purdue University both getting more than $1,000,000 annually, and the universities of Connecticut, Florida , Maryland and Texas A. & M. each getting from $300,000 to $800,000 yearly.

MILTON BYRD CO-AUTHOR OF PUBLICATION GUIDE A RevieH by Dr. Robert \·J. Duncan Dr. Milton Byrd, of t~e English department at the East St. Louis Residence Center, is co-author of a very useful and much needed Publication Guide for Literary and Linguistic Scholars, released in December by the Wayne State University Press. He and Dr. Arnold Goldsmith, of Hayne, surveyed the publication requirements--the editorial policies, format demands, methods of handling manuscripts--of 180 American and Canadian periodicals which publish literary and linguistic scholarship and literary criticism, and organized the re s ults of their compiLation in brief and useful form. The paper-back, which sellsfor $1.95, does for the working scholar what \.Jriter's Yearbook does for the commercial ~vriter: it enables him to select the most appropriate publication for his work, and advises him on hoH to prepare it. In~ delightful preface, Uilliam Riley Parker , former editor of the Publications of Hodern Language Association, asks, "Hm·l did so many authors become scholarly authors and yet continue so ignorant of the pe riodicals which publish scholarship?'' As editor of PHLA he Has astonished at both misdirected manuscripts and manuscripts poorly prepared. "But if this Guide i s uidely used," he continues, "editors may eventually come to believe that scholarly authors knmv what they are doing . 11 (Residence center faculty members in other fields might consider the possibility of similar volumes in their mm areas.) REVIEUS FOR POST-DISPATCH On January 25 Narion A. Taylor's revie\'J of The King of Flesh and Blood appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A pouerful story of Judea in the first centu~y B.C., the book was written by Hoshe Shamir. It was translated from the Hebre~v by David Patterson, and was publishe d by Vanguard Press. Hiss Taylor receives a book to review about every six Heel~s, so she says you could call her a "semipermanent occasional reviewer." STORIES AND 1\RTICLES IN PRINT Dr. David E. Bear has been advised by Elementary School Journal that his article entitled "A Comparison of a Synthetic Hith an Analytic Nethod of Teaching Phonics in the First Grade" has been accepted for publication. This research report is a summary of an investigation \17hich Bear conducted in the Alton Public Schools during the 1956-57 school year, involving about L;OO students. �- (' - Dr. All:red E. Kuenzli has written a book, The Phenomenological Problem, \'17hich is scheduled to come off the press in mid-summer (if the author "completes the index and other details on schedule"). The book is a compilation of scholarly papers by noted authorities in the field of personality and social psychology. The January issue of Journal of Educational Research carries an article by Hm1ard Davis on "The Status of Guidance \Jorl~er s in Hissouri, 1953-57 . " .. Dr. Robert Duncan has been advised that a story of his, "Gr ou Old Along Hith Us," published six years ago in Air F-1 cts lla gaz ine, Hill be reprinted in a forthcoming edition of Durban Wings Club Magaz ine of Natal, South Af rica. Duncan has also received \'17ord that the next issue of Air Facts is pub lishinr; a satire of his on spare parts. The October issue of N!H York ji s tory , o f ficial publication o f the New York Historical Association , carried an article by Dr. H. H. Rosenthal. Entitled "The Cruise of the Tarpon," the article tells about a meetinG of President Hilliam I-Im·l ard Taft and the former Pr e s ident Theodore Roosevelt. Cruising on Long Island Sound in a motor boat durin3 a gale, the two men uere trying to prove to the people that they were united in working for the Republican party and its candidates in the 1910 ele ;_: tion. �.. From the Desk of the Dean of Instruction The following list represents faculty research and creative work in print during the year 1958. It does not include editorial work, research in progress, or plans for research. I am grateful to those faculty members ~;,.Jho have contributed this information, thus making the report possible. For a year when many faculty members were concerned with moving into a new environment, teaching new courses, and carrying heavy loads of instruction, student advisement and committee work, it seems to me tha·t the list is a heartening one. I hope that as we are able to improve the teaching milieu, the length and significance of the list will also improve. ~fuile recearch and/or creative activity is by no means the main purpose of our institution, such activity does indicate the interest of our faculty in communicating, on a wider scale, with their colleagues and the interested public. Usually the good teacher is also interested in such activity because in this way he himself continues to study and learn. William T.

". . . Cameron W. Meredith of Southern Illinois University advocat e d self-re s t ra ine d silence on the part of the t ea cher or parent as the best way to foster an atmosphere of good behavior. He said that if the teacher showed he coul d n e ither be frightened nor pr ovoked, he would soon win the respect . of his student . This produced skepticism from teachers in schools where gangs and violence are a problem. Dr. Meredith replied that his procedure required courage and a sympathetic principal.

B J L L j_j' III~- No.4 T I N Mildred Arnold, Editor Fangenroth Road Edwardsville, Illinois election date has been set for Tuesday, February 2. "Obviously this is a very important election," Brubaker said, "since there is no hospital in the area. Good schools and fine hospitals are important in recruiting quality persons to join our faculty." The total assessed property valuation for the communities of the area, according to Brubaker, is approximately $67,000,000. The limit on bonded indebtedness that may be incurred is one and a-half per cent of the assessed valuation. A proposed tax rate has been developed on the assumption that the maximum amount of money available (approximately $1,000,000) will be needed for the construction of a 65-bed hospital. This proposed tax rate, which also would provide for the operation of the hospital, is .00188 (18.8¢ per $100 assessed value). The tax on a property assessed at $10,000 would be $18.80. This means that for a property owner the total tax would increase only $18.80, Brubaker said. He urges members of the staff living in the area concerned to vote February 2 on this important matter. Brubaker joined the staff recently as professor of education and assistant to Vice President See in charge of research. He co.mes .to us from the University of Mississippi where he was a professor of education and director of the laboratory school. EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION .. APPOINTED TO HOSPITAL COMMITTEE No sooner had H. B. BRUBAKER moved to Edwardsville than he was appointed to the Chamber of Commerce Hospital Committee which is conducting a campaign to establish an Edwardsville area hospital district. The Information about the Credit Union for all employees of the Southwestern Illinois Campus has been released by JOE R. SMALL, associate professor of business administration at East St. louis. "In the past two years the need for the establishment of an employees credit union has been increasingly �- 2 - apparent. This need became even more obvious as new staff members found the University could not loan money of any amount, even in the guise of a salary advance, except when paychecks were late in arriving or some such special situation. Consequently, the Falcon Investment Club created a committee from its group to determine what was necessary to establish such a credit union. We are happy to announce that our application to the State of Illinois for the establishment of the Southwestern Illinois Campus Employees Credit Union has been approved, issued, and received. Some further legal requirements must be completed before operations can be started. However, all necessary arrangements should be completed to permit initial operations to begin on February 1, 1960. This Credit Union is available to all full-time 'employees of this campus. The initial deposit for one share is at a cost of $5, p ] us a membership fee (payable only once) of $0.25. Membership may be obtained at the business offices at Alton for all employees at the Alton Center or East St. Louis for all employees at the East St. Louis cente1. The charter authorizes loans up to $200 on unsecured notes; over $200 to $2000 on secured notes, at interest rates of one per cent per month on unpaid balances below $1000, and one-half per cent on unpaid balances over $1000. The dividend rate on deposits, of course, is dependent upon the earnings of the Credit Union, but after the initial years of operations most credit unions are able to pay dividends of five to six per cent on all deposits . . .

South'Western Illinois Residence Centers Southern Illinois University FACULTV . NEWS BULLETIN �JUNE~ Vaiiu .. IIJ' No .. 8 1959 FA. CULTY NEWS BULLETIN Mildred Arnold, Editor Room 227, Broadview Hotel Bridge 4-2100, ext. 3 NOTHING CAN HOLD BACK THE DAWN (Editorial lvhich appeared in the June 10 issue of the EDHl\RDSVILLE INTELLIGENCK"t . ) When it w·as learned recently that construction on the ne\v Southern Illinois University campus at Ed\vardsville would not begin immediately, the first reaction naturally Has one of disappointment. But a quick review of what has been done in just two short years to provide university facilities in this part of the state shaHs the positive steps far outdistance the negative. T\vo years ago the nearest state university was more than 100 miles away. Students in other portions of the state could commute to state-supported universities and still work full or part time in their home communities to finance their education. This was not the case with this area. ... Madison and St. Clair counties, with the greatest conce ntration of population in the state outside Chicago, furnished a lar ge volume of the tax money to support university facilities in other parts of the state, but the only young people of this re gion Hho could benefit from these facilities \vere the ones who could afford to live away from home. Since 1957 more than 4,500 individuals have been enabled to avail themselves of university offerings in this area, and it is expected that 6,000 different persons will be privileged to participate in some type of university activity this coming year. Assurances of support by the Governor, Hhich include funds for architectural and engi neering studies, are tangible evidence that the project to provide a major campus in this area will go fon1ard. It has also been reliably reported that in a few months the central administrative offices of the Southwestern Illinois Campus will be moving to the Edwardsville site. While these developments are important in themselves, of even greater import is the assurance that benefits will continue to evolve from the dynamic leadership provided by SIU's administrators. At the helm of SIU is a man with broad vision and a sensitivity to the needs of Southern Illinois, an educator highly regarded throughout the entire state, Dr. Delyte W. Morris. In charge of the university's program in this part of the state is an indefatigable and effective administrator, equally \veil-informed on our area's needs and highly regarded by each community in the area, Dr. llarold W. See. The effective teamwork displayed by these men could well set the tone of cooperation between our area and the rest of Southern Illinois. Basing our confidence on the impressive record scored by this leadership, we look to the day when Southern Illinois will achieve the level of development being planned for it by these and other dedicated individuals throughout the southern half of Illinois. GOVERNOR STRATTON ON SIU BRANCH (Editorial which appeared on the editorial page of a June 3 edition of the St. Louis POST-DISPATCH.) Although Governor Stratton did not encourage his visitors in beha~f of Southern Illi- �- 2 - nois University's Madison-St. Clair branch to expect an immediate appropriation to build a new campus, he did show a generally friendly attitude toward the development of greater educational facilities in the nearby Illinois area. The Governor pointed out that his current budget includen approximately $300,000 for engineerinG and architectural studies of the 1400-acre site near Edwardsville toHard whose purchase 60,000 people have contributed nearly $600,000. As Mr. Stratton said, this constitutes an actual investment by the State of Illinois in the new campus, and in any case, careful engineering and ~tchitectural studies ought to be conducted before the first spade of earth can be turned for the first new building. Meantime the Governor's budget recognizes the gro>·l ing use of the residence centers in Alton and East St. Louis by providing a $700,000 deficiency appropriation for additional expenses incurred as more and more young Illinoisans turned to the residence centers. The next two years will not be lost in the development of Southern Illinois' MadisonSt. Clair branch university. The site can be wholly acquired and carefully studied as to its best uses. Plans can, indeed must, be drawn thoughtfully and farsightedly. Meantime the increase in attendance at the residence centers will show the need still more clearly to the officials and lmvmakers at Springfield. PRAISEHORTHY PURPOSE (This editorial on the Southwestern Illinois Chorophonic Society was carried in the June 4 issue of the 1\lton EVENING TELEGRAPH.) Considerable pride can be felt by the Alton area over the nev1ly "unveiled" Southt-1estern Illinois Chorophonic Society. The chorus of nearly a hundred gave its first concert in the First Nethodist Church Monday niGht (June 1), largely as an invitational affair. If Dr. H. E. Headley's grooming of the choir is any indication of the general quality of faculty members on the SIU campus, then residents here have real reason for optimism. The choir's performance of an intricate and lengthy work completely new to all its members would have done credit to an organization with much longer to prepare it than was avai~able to this group. But the chief cause for complimenting Dr. Headley and his chorus is the announced aim to study and perform many other works in this tremendous field. Such masterpieces as the Cherubini mass performed the other night can lie about gathering dust for years without doing the world any good. It is Hhen they are brought out and given voice through such choruses as Dr. Headley's that they accomplish their missions. And a chorus such as Dr. Headley's owes it to the Horld of music to bring these pieces out and Hork with them, to see that they live. One can sit dovm and read a book, a magazine article or a newspaper easily and learn what is in it. Most of the public, however, must become acquainted with music through hearing it. And choral \vorks require choral orcanizations to make them available if the public is ever to rise above its "Mother Goose" acquaintance with music literature. The Southwestern Illinois Chorophonic Society, then, Hill be performing a great service to the world of music by presenting these pieces; to its members by making them acquainted with the \vorks at a performer's level, and to the public by interpreting them. It is a praiseworthy purpose, ~ndeed. We wish Dr. Headley the highest success in his avowed aims. COLLECTION PRESENTED'TO ALTON CENTER Harold E. Broadbooks has presented a $2,000 collection of stuffed birds and mammals to the University's Alton Residence Center.

OVERFL0\7 AUDIEI:lCE ENJOYS ARC PLAYERS Mary BelJ.c Smith and the cast of "No Time CO-AUTHOR OF BOOK Herbert H. Rosenthal is one of three authors of THE CO~PS OF ENGINEERS: TROOPS AND EQUIPMENT, to be released June 18. Published by the Office of the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army, Hashington, D. C., the book is the first of four volumes that will describe the participation bf the engineers in \~rld Har II and the contribution they made toward winning it. The war demanded unprecedented constuction from the Army's Corps of Engineers. In General Douglas HacArthur's island-hopping campaign, engineers manned landing craft, rolled supplies across beaches and Hewed out the jungle for landing strips. Thousands of miles of gasoline pipeline were laid, vital seaports reconstructed and vast quantities of maps furnished. Set in the United States, this volume describes the years of intricate planning and preparing \·lhich paved the way for these achievements overseas. The interplay be ·tween engineers and other services and higher commands is amply explored \vith lively delineation of personalities, according to advance publicity. Rosenthal joined the SIU staff at Carbondale in 1955 as an instructor of history and transferred to the Alton Residence Center in 1958. I~ received hi~ bachelor's and master's deGrees from the University of Virginia and his doctorate in nroerican �- 7 - history from Harvard University. During World War II he served in Europe with the 95th Infantry Division. He was associated with the Engineer Historical Division from 1948 to 1953. The SIU teacher is currently working on another book which concerns the Progressive }bvement in New York State, subject of his doctoral dissertation. His article, "The Cruise of the Tarpon," appeared in the October 1958 issue of Neu York History. Rosenthal's promotion to associate professor of history, to become effective September 23, was approved last month by the SIU Board of Trustees. The dominant theme before Pearl Harbor is the engineers' adjustment to new vehicles and \vecipons and their consequent struggle to maintain their position with• in the infantry division and carve out a role with armor~d and air forces. The months follmving Pearl Harbor were marked by shifts in strategic plans, fluctuatin 0 troop bases, accelerated training schedules, a growing m.Jareness of the magnitude and intricacy of logistical support and optimistic procurement programs. During the final years of the war the engineers turned out a more versatile soldier through lengthened and more realistic training. Improvements in forecasting requirements and greater access to raw materials having eased the procurement of supplies, an orderly distribution became the primary goal. • The book has been described as one which "captures the spirit of the priod--the confusion, the conflicts, the harassed officers, the briefly-trained troops, the atmosphere of scarcity, the urgency of time." �• • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Topic: "Everybody Knows What's t.Jrong with Education." He said "Never have so many people been so interested in education (vocally). Everyone knows all about education. Everyone has either had an education or not had one. If he's had one, he knows what is wrong with it. If he hasn't had one, he knmvs what's wrong with everybodyelse. He pointed out that our basic problem in education is to determine what >ve should be trying to do and then to do it. He granted that a solution to this complex problem will not be found easily. Bird maintained that we in education are making entirely too much of the science of studying the teacher rather than the textbook. He would advocate developing the mind rather than placing so much emphasis on teaching the specific action to be performed, regardless as to whether this might meet with some opposition from students, parents, or even school boards. He expressed concern about the fact that the products of our educational system would rather drive an automobile on a crowded highway on a holiday than read a good book, and asked whether our students should be expected t o learn to read, write, and spell or whether they should be permitted to continue to attend classes which require practically no preparation and in which they merely sit around and discuss things in general between coffee breaks.
