Note: L-1 Granite City, Alton, and East St. Louis, we are going to
have to steer clear of non-credit courses. In Alton and East St.
Louis the program should be more nearly like that done by Washing­
ton University or what they call University College work. Types of
program would be almost unlimited.
University:
There will be a duplication of facilities under the option service we
will still have the Broadview Hotel room and the Shurtleff campus.
However, possibly, the Community Development Department could
take up the slack at a more rapid pace.
Special considerations:
Study and augmenting Library at Shurtleff and provide for library
facilities in East St. L,ouis. Shurtleff Library operates in coopera­
tion with the Alton Public Libraries based on a foundation grant
provision. This arrangement might possibly be carried on under
new manage�ent.
Organization Chart under option 3 sets forth the special types of
services that would be essential to put the program on a par with
the campus activity.
Budgetary Needs:
Spe:dal consideration in providing adequate travel funds for visits
by administrative and department heads to the campus is essential.
0. C. E. funds should be generous enough to allow for adequate tele­
phone communication from area to campus. A' direct line to the
campus over which conforerice type ·calls, etc.· would be both eccirior:hic ·
ahd convenient in coordinating. Figures are available on this item.

�5 -1

Option

5

If the Shurtleff campus does not become available and the East St.
Louis High School Building is 1:ot availa�le, the reverse of Option 3 might
be expected with slight reductions bacause of limited facilities in Alton.

�Approach A:

Approach B:

Have approval of campus to allow University to
carry on with basic program as outlined by Shurtleff
for second semester. Change to Quarter system
to take place in Summer 1957 Program.

Change to a quarter system immediately substituting
our courses and curriculum with a twelve and six
week program. The six-week program to a concentrated
program with fewer courses.

From an administrative standpoint, student security and understanding
as well as faculty preparation, Approach A seems to be both academic­
ally and adminstratively sounder than Approach B.

Staff:Problem:

It is extremely important that our campus departments be in accordance
with the individuals retained from the Shurtleff staff. Therefore, it
would probably be ill-advised to take the total group without careful
screening. At the same time, there are a number of good reasons
why we should take as many of the staff as possible, other than the
acute shortage of college teachers. It would be good public relations
to take as many as possible. While the administration of Shurtleff
has not handled staff dismissals as one might desire, they have
managed to rid the school of many of the weaker members. Since these
individuals do have a contract for the remainder of the year, we should
use them if possible if we were to take the school over.
It is probabl� that the ordained ministers will either leave or become
part of the proposed Baptist Foundation.
Administration:
While this may seem premature, careful consideration should be given
to the overall administrative relationship that the division will have to
the campus. It is better to try and clear these matters up before they
become a problem. As a personal note, I'm extremely anxious that
the fanulty and department heads at least feel that they are a part of
this program so that they will give it their enthusia�tic support.

are numerous imponderables; therefore, this report is p repc1.red setting
