He was not in a p,osition to make any comments for the University at this time. November 21, 1955-Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building. At a meeting of the Board of Directors, Mr. George L. Moorman, Sr. reported that the College Planning Committee had arranged for Dr. Raymond Dey of University Extension and Dr. Harold See, Director of the Residence Center of Southern Illinois University ,to meet. with them on November 30, 1955. i November 30, 1955-Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building. A review of the needs of higher education in the area was made for benefit of members not present at previous meetings. It was po"!.nted out by Dr. Raymond Dey, of Southern Illinois University th53t a comprehensive study ·of ·co'Ilege needs in the area was being made and he felt that it would be considered premature for Southern Illinois University to take decisive action prior to its completion. He assured the College Planning Committee that the results of all research concern­ ing the needs of higher education would be made available to them at the earliest possible moment.. December 19, 1955-Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building. In a report by Mr. Brooks at the Board Meeting in the ab­ sence of George Moorman, Sr., the Board was informed that. the Planning Committee had been visited twice by Dean Dey and Dr. See of Southern Illinois University. A re port was made of the meeting with the College Planning Committee held on November 30. It was pointed out that letters concerning needs for higher education had been secured from local industry, the mayor and the Chamber of Commerce showing their interest and needs for higher education in the area. These letters were directed to Southern Illinois University. I-' It was reported that Dean Dey was making arrangements to place the matter of higher education, as outlined by the Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce, before the Board of Trus­ tees of Southern Illinois University in January, 1956. January 16, 1956-Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building., At a meeting of the Board of Directors it was reported that Dr. Harold See, of Southern Illinois University, was contact­ ed relative to the results of the Southern Illinois Universi-tw Board of Trustees meeting that was held on January 11, 1956. : It was pointed out by Dr. See that the agenda at that time had been too full to accommodate the very complex problem of higher education in Edwardsville since it would require detailed exploration and discussion. �9 It was also reported that the University officials. at Southern Illinois University were a� tha� time endeavoring to set up a meeting with presidents of universities and superintendents of schools of the area to investigate all possibilities for cooperative action leading toward increo.�_ed' provisions for higher education in the area •. It was pointed out by Dr. See that our requests for assist­ ance were looked upon with favor and were being given careful consideration by the actministrative heads of Southern Illinois University. March 12, 1956-Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building. At a meeting of the Board of Directors it was reported that the university and public school officials of the area had held a meeting on February 29, 1956. On questiQning, Dr. See explained that this was an exploratory meeting in an effort to determine exactly what each unive:::-sity might contribute towards increasing higher educational fa�ilities for this area. He reported that this was a closed session and empha­ sized again that it was purely of an exploratory nature, therefore information concerning specific proposals and the details of the discussion were not within his �utho�ity discuss at this time, Note: A period of inactivity on the part of both the the Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce and Southern Illinois University existed. There was a change of leadership in the Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce and Southern Illinois University felt that since they had initiated a meeting of all colleges to study this area problem that they should refrain from taking unilateral action at this time. It was expl�ined that they wished to provide an opportunity for each school to help in this project. July 12, 1956- Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building. Mro George Moorman, Sr. reported to the board that he had visited the Southern Illinois University campus to discuss the problem of ·higher education with Dr. Charles Tenney, Vice-President for Instruction. He informed the Board that he had prevailed upon Dr. Tenney and members of his staff to attend a meeting of the College Planning Committee to be held on July 20, 1956 at 10:00 a.m. • July 20, 1956- Edwardsville, Community Room, First National Bank Building. Dr. Charles Tenney discussed the pattern developed for ad­ vanced school work in several states, especially in Indiana and California, and outlined several possible methods of pro� cedure that might result in the development of an institution in thts area. He then outlined some of the difficulties that might be encountered, stressing particularly the first cost of building and grounds, the scaracity of qualified staff and the development of curriculum to meet the needs of the area. : �10 He pointed out that whatever their first Q,hoice .it wculd te necessary to ccnv:i.nce the Commission on Higher Education and Legislature that there is a real need for instruction: here. He emphasized that it must be backed by strong support from the people of the surrounding territory. After a lengthy discussion it was moved that it is the sense of the meeting that we want a branch of Southern Illinoia University in the neighborhood and that we would cooperate with Southern Illinois University authorities and the State Legislature to that end. 1 It was further agreed that the College Planning Committee should confer with the Governor's Commission on Higher Education and would work very closely with them and Southern Illinois University, taking advantage of their observation and experience in this type of work.

Mr. Olin �etzel gave the key note address setting for the reisons for this meeting and the fact that the Edwardsville Cham­ ber of Commerce had come to recognize that this was a bi­ county problem and not one of a local nature. He emphasized the point that all succeeding discussions should be con­ sidered in this framework. Mr.· F;etzel aelineatea the various steps that had been t�ken by the Eawardsville group leading up to this meeting. He gave considerable emphasis to the great need and the many obstacles that might con­ front such an organization, Dr. Harold See presented some statistical aata depicting the growth and development of the area with special emphasis on higher educational needso President Delyte Morris indicated thit r Sotithern Illinois University had, for some time, recognized that there was an educational vacuum in Madison and St. Cl air Counties and was at present taking all steps within its power to find a solution to the problem. President Morris further pointed out that he was not in a position to make a committment for the University on two counts. First, there is a second meeting of the college and public schools adminstrative officials scheduled for October 9, 1956. He felt that every attempt should be made to get cooperation by all interested schools on the expansion of higher education in the area. Secondly, this was a policy matter which would call for board action. He stated, however; the Board has for a long time recognized a real need in the area and wGs giving considerable thought to the problem. hfter the presentation of the principal speakers, Mr. Charles Schmidt presented the resolutions for the Edwards­ ville Chamber of Commerce and they were unanimously adopted by the 150 indiviauals present. It was at this point tha t__j;he Ec1warasville Chamber of Commerce passed th�r�.sponsibilitv for higher eaucation in a bi-county area from t��j_r organization to the newly former[ Southwestern Jllinois Council for Higher Laucation. �12 Executive Committee Meetinga Southwestern Illinoia Council for Higher Education October 3, 1956 - Stratford Hotel, Alton. The Executive Committee of the Southwestern Illinois Council For Higher Education elected Dr. Robert B. Lynn, as permanent Chairman, Miss Bernice Goedde, Vice-Chairman and George L. Moorman, Sr. as Recording Secretary� After carefully reviewing the research carried on by the Edwards­ ville Chamber of Commerce and a study of all other information available, it was decided by the Executive Committee to seek the assistance of Southern Illinois University in charting a course of action leading to the acquisition of increased higher educa­ tional facilities for Madison and St. Clair Counties. October 11,1956 - Broadview Hotel, East St. Louis. The Executive Committee of Southwestern Illinois Council For Higher Education invited Dr. Delyte 1!'j. Morris, President, and Dr. Harold 1!-j. See, Director Resident Center Office, ex--official members of the Council and Dr. Charles Tenney, Vice-President for Instruction of Southern Illinois University to meet with them. A discussion of pro­ cedures and action to be taken towards interesting the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University in providing increased opportunities for higher education in Madison and St. Clair Counties was the principle topic of discussion. It was agreed at this meeting that the Executive Committee should request a meeting with the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University at an early date so that they might explain in detail their proposal for a four year branch institution. October 23,1956- Carbondale, Office of the President, Southern Illinois Uni­ versity. Dr. Robert B. Lynn requested the Board of Trustees to take steps necessary to the establishment of a branch of Southern Illinois Univ6.esity in the Madison-St. Clair County area. He ex­ plained the needs and desires of the communities for such a program. Dr. Frank Eversull reminded the group that the need for further education was here, now, and that it was a real opportunity for both the University and the communities involved to plan this program, The interest of the PoT.A. groups and other organizations was expressed by Mrs. Lester Klope, District Director of the P.T.A. (Appendix C, page 1). This was followed by a discussion by Dr, Morris and Dr. See on the problems involved in establishing such educational facilities. Statistics and other indications of the need for higher education in the area were presented. Dr. Tenney explained in some detail the requirements necessary for establish­ ing a branch university-... giving particular attention to staff, curriculum, and possible enrollments. �13 • I '· It was emphasized at this session that this.·meeting was not intended to interfere or belittle any othef educationali progra� now in operation or planned, but that all groups present woula cooperate with all the educational institutions. It is the belief of the members of the Council for Higher Education and representatives of Southern that increased program development will indirectly help all educational institutions located in the area •. The resolution passed by the Robert Kern is as follows: Board of Trustees, made by Mr •. "That the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University express its profound interest in the serious situation in regard to higher educational facilities in the south­ western area of Illinois, and further, that the Board make accelerated provisions for higher education facilities in the said area as quickly as the necessary state and other funds become available." December 4, 1956 - Alton, Board of Education Offices, HaskellHouse. The Executive Committee invited Dr. Alonzo Myers, Chairman of the Department of Higher Education, New York University to meet with them in their deliberations on methods and procedures to follow in the acquisition of higher education fc:>r this. area. It was recommended that every possible means at the committee's: disposal be used to encourage Governor Stratton to come to Madison and St. Clair County area to attend a meeting similar t.o the one previously held in Edwardsville. Such a meeting to comprise the leadership of the citizenry of the area, businesa, industry, education and other classifications.. Dr. Robert: Lynn, Chairman of the Committee was. directed to :·pp1'.;C'.::h the lndustrial people that had r,::. 0 3·,Tiously agreed to 1.0 2-.i::::a the necvssary funds- for carrying out the activities of the Southwestern Illinois Council For Higher Education for money to conduct an in.tensive research study in the area. Iit is the expressed· intention of the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education to present the finding of the study in a manner to depict. the real edueational needs of the Madison-St. Clair County areaa This data is to be provided to all legislative officials o ( See £.ppendix B ,. page 9) Senator Jame a Monroe of Collinsville 6ffered to print all materials: to be presented to the legislative officialso December ]8, 1956 - Belleville, Citizens Savings & Loan Building. Dr. Robert Lynn reported that the necessary $�800.00 to conduct an independent research study of the area had been secured from business and industry. It was. recommended that Dr. Alonzo Myers of the New York University, one of the leading experts in the country in the area of higher education, be contacted and asked to direct a research program to provide the Council with objective data ana information on which to make future plans. �14 In no way, was it felt that this research study would conflict with the one being contemplated by the Higher Education Commis­ sion to be directed by Dro John Ivey. Rather, it was the feeling of the group that it could well serve to augment his study and would serve to reinforce the findings of both groups. It was reported that steps are being taken to gain an audience with Governor Stratton and that they had hopes that such a meeting would materialize in the early part of January. The Governor will be requested to come to a meeting of the total Council For Higher Education at a later aate. This meeting is to be held somewhere in Madison or Sto Clair County. The group was informed that the East Ste Louis Board of Education had offered their old High School to Southern Illinois University at �p LOO per year and that the possibility of acquiring the use of Shurtleff College campus as a second site· ·Er t·'·a reasonable rate was highly probable. It was explained by Dr. Lynn, a member of the Shurtleff Board of Trustees 1 that Southern Illinois University had no bearing on the decision made by Shurtleff and all ap­ proaches on the matter had been initiated by the Shurtleff Boara. A resolution was passed directing Mr. George Moorman, Sr., secre­ tary, to send a letter of commenaation to the administration of Southern Illinois University on their recent activitias ana their willingness to work with both the East St. Louis Board of Educa-• tion ana Shurtleff College as temporary quarters for expanding programing in the area. The Committee took note of the fact that the only active op­ position to their program in the area was by representatives of the Belleville Township Junior College. Dro Robert Lynn, Chair-· man was directed to request a joint meeting with the Belleville Township School Board as a first step in attempting to reconcile differences th2t might exist in objectives and plans by the two groups for providing higher education for Madison and St. Clair Countieso January 10, 1957 - Springfield, Capitol Building, Governor V',1illiam G, Stratton's Officeo The Executive Committee reported to Governor Stratton on the needs for increased emphasis on higher education in Madison and SL Clair Countieso It was pointed out, while the �squest was for a full fledge four-year branch of Southern Illinois University, they hoped that limited programs might be started in the old East St. Louis High School and Shurtleff College in the immediate future. The need for higher eaucation, broader than the traditional four year undergraauate program were emphasized. Examples in the fields of adult eaucation and graduate work wo.s'· g:i,_ven, �15 Governor Stratton told the Executive Committee that he was fully aware of the higher education problem in Madison and St. Clair Counties, but felt he must wait for recommendations from the higher Education Commission. He subsequently pointed out that he felt an overall State policy should be formulated before he made a decision on the Executive Committee's request" A group of the Shurtleff College Board of Trustees' members also attended this meeting and talked with the Governor on their particular problem immediately following the Council's hearing. January 18, 1957 - East St. Louis, Bush's Steak House, The Legislative Committee, a sub-committee of the Executive Committee made plans to invite all the senators and representative of the immediate area to a dinner-meeting at Bush's Steak House on February 1, 19570 The Legislative Committee decided to send a letter to all legislative officials in the state of Illinois, following a meeting with the local senators and representatives, to request their support of the Southern Illinois UniversJ_ ty budgetary iterns for the Madison - St, Clair County. Supporting documents of a concise nature to bs attached to the lettero �Results That Itiight Be E::2:pected By Having A Division Of Southern Illinois University In This Area A. Lower tuition of a state school would immediately bring higher education within the reach of many high school graduates now excluded for financial reasons. B. A branch institution would have the psychological effect of increasing college attendance by the youth of the area, many students of college caliber are not now attending college. This is of utmost, importance to a nation so desperately in need of better trained persons and could well serve to stimulate higher social economic levels for"this area. C. Education with a broad curriculum with many special­ izations to meet the needs of the area: 1. Industry: Technical (chemistry, physics and possibly engineering, cooperative training programs, in-plant train­ ing, consultation services, etc.)� 2. Business: Marketing, accounting, management (business and industrial)� personnel procedures, secretarial science, special conferences, etc. 3. Professional Education: Teacher training programs at both the graduate and undergrate levels could be more fully developed. D• Adult Education - Conference, , �vocation, vocational, cultural (music, art, literature, leadership training, community development, etc.). E. Area Services - Community development, waterways, public utilities, communications, housing, etc. will be provided leadership. 16 �17 .., APPENDIX \ A �Table of Contents ,.

General population growth: A. St. Clair and Madison Counties are the two largest counties other than Cook County in the state of Illinois. B. St. Clair and Madison Counties are the seventh and eighth fastest growing counties in the state of Illinois. c. D· Of the thirteen counties having over 100,000 population, St. Clair and Madison Counties are the fifth and sixth fastest growing counties in the state of Illinois. The combined population of Madison and St . Clair Counties by 750,000. 1970, at the present rate of growth, will exceed -· "· ' E. II. ,.,. .,,\. Using a broader basis of predication, the total serviceable population for a residence college could exceed one million (1,000,000) by 1970. College age population growth: A. The college age (18-21) in Madison and St. Clair Counties will increase at least 78 per cent by 1970. Indications are that the increase may be over 100 per cent when all figures are available. B. The total number of students predicted to be in college by 1970, assuming that the educational opportunities improve at the average rate for the nation, will be a startling figure of over 13,000. This compares to the 2,980 in college for the year 1950. An increase of over 300 per cent. Vbith the increased rate of growth now being experienced in this area, the figure may be far too low. c. If the total number of stuaents predicted to be in college by 1970, assuming that the same level of attendance exists for this area as for the State, the figure may exceed 18,000. Again this figure may be too low in terms of population growth. III. The Educational level: A. Madison and St. Clair Counties are substantially beneath state and national levels for number of students attending college. B. Using the 18-21 age group, less than 50 per cent as many students from the area are in college as for the State and na­ tion. The general education level as measured in years of school attended is low for the total population of Madison and Ste Clair Counties.
