REGULAR MEETING OF THE FACULTY
October 4, 1961
The meeting was called to order by President Flemming. the meeting of JW:J.e 7, 1961 were read and approved.
The minutes of
INTRODUCTIONS. Ninety-two new faculty members and twenty-one faculty members returning from leave were introduced by deans and division heads.
RESOLUTION CONCI~RNING THE FACULTY CLUB. Mr. Roland Bartel, secretary of the Faculty Senate, moved on behalf of the Senate the adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved that theV faculty of the University of Oregon endorse the request of the Board of Directors of the University of Oregon Faculty Club that the University undertake and finance the remodeling, renovation, and refurnishing of the present clubhouse to provide a more adequate faculty center for the institution.
The motion having been seconded, Mr. J. R. Shepherd, president of the Faculty Club, read a letter to President Flemming, dated August 7, 1961, explaining the request to which the resolution referred (a copy of this letter is on file in the office of the secretary of the .faculty). Mr. Bartel's motion was then put to a vote and carried unanimously.
President Flemming expressed his own enthusiasm for the plans for the clubhouse, and stated that he would do all in his power to see that this first request addressed to him by the University faculty is realized.
ADHISSIONS POLICY. Mr. R. D. Clark, chairman of the special Committee on Admissions Policy, stated that the committee "has recently been advised that the President's Ac1ministrati ve Staff has recoInrllended a change in procedure for the admission of high-school students to the University. The present practice (with some exceptions for nonresident students) is to withhold admission until the student has filed a transcript showing graduation from high school. Under the recommended change, high-school students who- have maintained an average of B or better would be admitted after seven semesters of high school, subject to completion of the requirements for graduation from high school. II Mr. Clark stated that it was the opinion of his committee that the recommendation involved only a change in procedure, not in policy, and was not a matter which it should properly refer to the faculty for action. ItHO\vever, on written request from the President for advice, the members of the committee informed him that they were unanimously in favor of the proposed change in procedure and that they would report their opinion to the faculty.1t A copy of the full report is filed in the office of the secretary of the faculty as a part of these minutes.
Mr. Bower Aly moved that the read:i.ng of the report of the Committee on Admissions Policy be construed as a presentation to the faculty; that the substantive recommendation be approved; and that the foregoing action be entered in the minutes. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
PROED]1 OF STUDENT LITERACY. Mr. L. R. Sorenson, chairman of the Committee on the Curriculum, moved on behalf of the committee that a special committee be appointed by the President, in consultation with the Advisory Council, to study the problem of student literacy in written and oral discourse, to evaluate various. ways in which general improvement might be achieved, and to present recommendations to the faculty and the administration. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
STAT'~ OF THE mn:V::\RSITY. President Flemming stated that, even before coming to the University of Oregon, he had been favorably illlpressed by what he had learned of the effective organization of the University faculty for participation in the government of the University--and especially by the provision of a faculty-elected Advisory Council to consult with the President on matters of University policy. He expressed his agreement with the general principles formulated by Committee T of the American Association of University Professors in regard to faculty participation in college and university government, published in the June 1960 issue of the A.A.U.P. Bulletin, and his belief that these principles are well-exemplified in the role of the faculty in the government of the University of Oregon. He announced that it wJ3.s his intention to meet with the Advisory Council once a week, since such regular and systematic contacts are essential if the Advisory Council is to play its important part in shaping the basic policies ofvthe University.
President Flemming then reported to the faculty concerning a number of developments since he assumed the office of President on July 1, including: the hold:i.ng of regular weekly meetings with the deans and other staff members who report direct to the President; the formulation of position descriptions for top administrative positions; the establishment of the position of Dean of Faculty, on the unanimous recommendation of the Advisory Council; the creation of a Budget Committee, consisting of the President, the Dean of Faculty, and the Business Manager; a study by a special committee, including the members of the Advisory Council and representatives of the q,eans, of pro,per procedures for academic-rank promotions for nonteaching personnel; clarification of the role of thefacultyCommitte~ on Intercollegiate Athletics as an advisory body assisting the faculty and the President in the shaping of athletic policies; progress in the provision of additional funds for out-of-state travel to enable more faculty members to attend the meetings of ,learned and professional societies and a decision to press for increase of travel allocations in the overall budget; vand steps toward the establishment of a civil-defense plan for the Uni versi ty. In reporting on the establishment of the position of Dean of Faculty, the President stated that he has asked the Advisory Council and the deans who served on the presidential search ,committee to act in a similar capacity in the search for a Dean of Faculty, and invited members of the faculty to suggest possible candidates to this committee.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE FACULTY
November 1, 1961
The meeting was called to order by President Flemming. The minutes of the meeting of October 4, 1961 were read and approved.
PUBLICATION OF LECTURE NOTES. Mr. Roland Bartel, secretary of the Faculty Senate, moved on behalf of the Senate the adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved: That the faculty of the University of Oregon approve the following statement:
For many centuries professors have held the opinion that a student attending lectures has the right to instruction for his own use and benefit but that his attendance at lectures gives him no proprietary right in their publication or dissemination. The faculty of the University of Oregon reaffirms this opinion. The professor's classroom is not a public forum; it is his privileged responsibility.
No unusual recording or note-taking procedures should be permitted in any classroom without the express approval in writing of the professor in charge; and any notes, outlines, or other materials developed from his course should be published only with his full knowledge and consent expressed in writing.
In determining whether he should consent to the publication of his lectures, or notes of them, the professor should give first consideration to the educational values and problems involved. 1\mong these are the following: (1) The question whether note taking may represent an active part of the learning process is pertinent.
(2) The question whether the professor wishes to rely on the accuracy of the transcription may well be .raised. Even though he is willing to permit the publication of his lecture notes, he will presumably wish to edit them and should have this privilege.
0) If the professor believes that the dissemination of his lecture notes is a valuable educational procedure, he may wish to provide notes or aids to give to all his students. He would thus be v able to help all his students believed to need assistance--not merely those who purchase the notes privately.

Mr. Bartel e:JqJlained that the resolution had originated in the Advisory Council and had been recommended to the Senate by the Council. The motion was seconded.
Mr. J. L. Powell moved to amend by deleting the words "in writing" and "e:JqJressed in writing" in the second paragraph, and by deleting all of that portion of the resolution following the second paragraph. Mr. Powell! s motion was seconded.
Mr. L. L. Lawrence asked whether the two parts of the amendment might be separated. In response to an inquiry from the chair, Mr. Powell stated that he would not consent to a separation. Mr. Lawrence then moved to amend Mr. Powell's motion by striking that part which proposed the deletion of the words "in writing'! and "e:JqJressed in writing." Mr. Lawrence I s motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. Mr. Powell's motion, as amended, was then put to a vote and carried. The principal motion, as amended, was then put to a vote and carried.
PRINCIPLES OF ACADENIC FREEDa1 AIm TENURE. Mr. Bartel gave notice, on behalf' of the Faculty Senate, of a motion that the fac1.llty of the University of Oregon endorse the Statement of Principles of Academic Freedom and Tenure approved by the .American Association of Uni versi ty Professors and by the Association of .American Colleges, as issued in 1940 and revised in 1960 for publication in the A.A. U.P. Bulletin, Vol. 46, No.4, Winter 1960. FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT FOR PH.D. DEGREE. The secretary read the following notice of a motion which will be presented by Hr. Harry Alpert, on behalf of the Graduate Council, at the December 1961 meeting of the faculty:
It is recommended that the faculty approve the following alternative to the normal Ph.D. foreign language requirement of a reading knowledge of two languages other than one's native tongue:
A candidate may submit to the graduate dean a petition to be allowed to substitute a speaking and reading knowledge of one language, other than his native tongue, in lieu of a reading knowledge of two languages. This petition must be endorsed by the advisory committee and a statement presented to the graduate dean sho,T.ing how this method of satisfying the language requirement will contribute more toward the candidate! s proficiency in his chosen field than would a reading knowledge of two languages.
LIBRARY COMIUTTEE. 1'1r. D. H. Dougherty, chairman of the Library Committee, gave notice of a motion to amend faculty legislation of November 2, 1921, providing "that a committee of five faculty members be appointed to act as an advisory committee on LibraI"J affairs ~" by deleting the word "five."
STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY. President Flemming reported to the faculty on major items of business which came before the Board of Higher Education at its October 1961 meeting, including approval of a strong case for emergency appropriations required to maintain quality programs in the institutions with fall 1961 enrollments far in excess of numbers anticipated in the budget approved by the 1961 Legislature, and steps leading to requests for Federal planning-fund aid for new buildings on the several campuses of the State System. He added that, in his opinion, higher education in .America will be faced with an unprecedented crisis by the fall of 1965 unless Federal aid for higher-education building construction is authorized in the next session of Congress, and that the faculty of the University of Oregon, as well as the administration, should take an active part in urging Congressional action.
The President also conunented on the recommendation of a committee appointed by Governor Hatfield for the development of a center of graduate studies in Portland, on the thinking of some members of the Board of Higher Education that the traditional concept of the position of the Chancellor of the State System should be somelvhat modified (with greater delegation of authority to act to the institutions and improvement of channels of communication between the institutions and the Board), and on progress in securing increased funds for out-of-state travel and plans for the allocation of these funds.
The President stated that the search committee for the selection of a Dean of Faculty has completed its work and has recommended three candidates, and that he hoped to be able to announce an appointment at the next meeting of the faculty. The project for the remodeling and renovation of the Faculty Club, he reported, will be presented to the Board of Higher Education at its December meeting; plans call for the work to be undertaken and completed during the summer of 1962.
In.conclusion, the President suggested that faculty meetings might, on occasion, be convened at 3:00 p.m., to allow more time for open discussion of University policies and programs. }'[r.Bovrer Aly, chairman of the Advisory Council, stated that the Council would consider this suggestion.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

ARTHUR RUSSELL HOORE HE}IORIAL. following memorial:
I-1r. B. T. Scheer presented the
With sincere regret I must report to the faculty the death of Dr. Arthur Russell Moore, research professor emeritus in biology and psychology. He was born in Beaver, Furnas County, Nebraska on November 10, 1882, and received a B.A. degree from the University of Nebraska in 1904. After three years as a school teacher, he went as a graduate student to the Spreckels Laboratory of Physiology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a Ph.D. in 1911. Those were great days in Berkeley. Jacques Loeb had been brought out from Chicago to establish a Physiology Department, and his mission was to clear the last lingering mists of Naturphilosophie brom biology. Fresh from histriunrphant demonstration of artificial parthenogenesis, Loeb was going to solve the problems of cellular biology by studying the properties of proteins, and the problems of behavior by studying reflexes and tropisms. Noore 1 s colleagues and teachers included S. S. Naxwell, J. B. NacCallum, . T. Brailsford Robertson, and C .L. A. Schmidt, and his own first scientific paper was a treatise on the "Biochemical Concept of Dominance, U an early essay in biochemical genetics. Throughout his long and productive career, represented in more than 100 scholarly publications, Noore retained a primary interest in the two fiel~s which were dominant at Berkeley in those days--mechanisms of fertilization and animal behavior--but he was a broader thinker and a better biologist than his teacher, and he never succumbed to the extreme and, as it turned out, superficial mechanistic doct~-Des which Loeb imparted to a whole generation of physiologists.
Noore was elected to the American Physiological Society in 1912. This society was five years younger than he. He remained at Berkeley as an assistant professor for two years and then went to Bryn Nawr. In 1916 he was appointed professor a.'1d head of the Department of Animal Biology at Rutgers, and in this same year was married to Hary Hi tchell Chamberlain. She came from a distinguished and scholarly North Carolina
~ CI ~ ~ po..


ti3
family and was an undergraduate student at Bryn ~1awr while Noore was on the faculty. She continued for her Ph.D. in physiology at Rutgers, and carried on her mm research program during much of her married life. They had no children of their own, but acted as foster parents for three children of forei811 birth. The summers of those first years at Rutgers were spent with Loeb at the ,Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole. vIn 1923 Moore made the pilgrimage to the Necca of marine biology, the Zoological Station at Naples. This was the first of several visits, and he is even nOVi warmly remembered there.
In 1926 he came to the University of Oregon as professor of zoology and settled into a way of life which he was to follow, with only one major interruption, until his retirement from the University in 1948. The academic years were spent in Eugene and the surmners at his home in Pacific Grove, just a block from the Hopkins Marine Station, where he held the post of lecturer from 1926 until 195h. Both hO!rnles were always open to the Moore's many friends. In the troubled times of the thirties he spent a year in Europe as a fellow of the Belgium Education Foundation, a year at Oregon State College, a.'1d a year at Tohoku Irr[Jerial University in Japan as a Rockefeller fellm". In 1934 he 'liaS appointed research professor in psychology at the University of Oregon, and retained this post until he retired. When the Biology Department was established in 1942, the appointment was made a joint one. In 1946 he was invited to Brazil to present a. series of lectures at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, and was awarded the Na'cional Order of the Southern Cross by the government in recognition of his scientific achievements. At the requir$d age, iTl 1948, he retired from the University of Oregon, but not from academic life. For five more years v he continued to teach and work at the University of Portland. Then in 1954, still vigorous but tiring a little, he retired to a quiet life at Pacific Grove. }1rs. Moore I s death in 1960 Has a severe blow. Dr. Moore remarried in 1961, but his health was failing, and, after several .leeks of illness, he died in Pacific Grove on January 21, 1962.
Arthur Rus sell }1oore was a modest, kindly man, with an incisive wit, of broad professional interests ranging from cellular physiology to animal behavior, and with extensive cultural interests outside his profession as well. His courses in the physiological foundations of behavior and the history of science set a high standard of scholarship ,while retain:i;ng marked popular appeal to undergraduates. He was a seeker after knowledge, rather than professional status, a teacher whose ivory tower in scholarship was accessible to all. We Hho Here privileged to kn01i'" him personally will long remember him. His spirit will remain part of the living tradition of the University.
Mr. Scheer then moved that, as a tribute to Professor Moore, this memorial be accepted by the faculty of the University of Oregon, and incorporated in the minutes of this meeting, and that copies of this memorial be transmitted to his widOl-i and sisters. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried unanimously.
F.ICHARD SODERLThTD MEMORIAL. Hr. George Andrews presented the following memorial, on behalf of the faculty of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, concerning the late }1r. Richard Soderlind, associate professor of architecture:
As we recall our quiet colleague, whom we were privileged to know for so short a while, it is realized with what awareness he moved amongst us, with what concern he wished to gather students to himself. lore realize with what eagerness he sought to impart a courage for livIng and with what enthusiasm he sought to reveal the ways that lead to things of worth and thoughts of merit.
Selfless, Richard willed to give to his youthful audiences the essence of his treasured knowledge and devotedly he strove to hasten their steps tov1ards the awareness of larger views and broader understanding. Sternly and kindly he gave reproof where hurried judgment erred.
To have known him more is the wish of many saddened hearts. The enduring memory of his patience, Sincerity, and effort will live on in the minds of those with whom he worked, in academic and professional association.


64
Keenly conscious of the tragic loss felt by all of us in the passing of Richard Soderlind, we the members of the college community wish to express our deepest sympathies and our tenderest condolences to those whose lives ran one with his, at this hour of bereavement.
~ U t' ::t I
~fr. AndrevJS then moved that, as a tribute to T-fr. Soderlind, this memorial be accepted by the faculty of the University of Oregon and incorporated in the minutes of this meeting, and that a copy of the memorial be transmitted to his family.

Mr. Bartel moved, on behalf of the Faculty Senate, that, if special meetings of the facult;y seem desirable, the President be requested to call them for the second or third Wednesday of the month at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or for Friday at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The motion was seconded. T-fr. G. H. Wannier moved to amend by deleting the words nor for Friday at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.n The motion to amend was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. The principal motion as amended was then put to a vote and carried.
STATE OF THE U1I:rVSRSITY. President Flemming reported that, bei'ore the question of ~1r. Hall arose, the Faculty Senate had authorized V the appointment of a special Senate committee to formulate a statement of Uni versi ty policy in regard to invitations to outside speakers by faculty and student groups for campus appearances. He stated that a report from this committee to the Senate and the faculty may be expe cted in the near future.
The President also reported that the Board of Higher Education has approved an experimental plan of deferred enrollment for the University of Oregon for the academic year 1962-63. The plan will be tried only by the University, not by other institutions of the State System. The President stated that he had had conferences with the Advisory Council and with the Executive Committee of the A.A.D.P. concerning the proposed development of a graduate center in Portland, and that he had hoped to be able to discuss the proposal with the faculty at this meeting. Since, however, the hour was late, he felt that he must defer this discussion until a later date. He suggested that, in the meantme, faculty members who have questions concerning the proposal get in touch with members of the Advisory Councilor the A.A.D.P. Executive Camw~ttee.
T-fr. illy moved that the President be invited to address the faculty on the Portland graduate center proposal at a special meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 14. At the suggestion of a member of the faculty, Nr. Aly changed the date epecii'ied in his motion to Wednesday, February 21. The motion was seconded. After discussion, it was suggested by a member of the faculty that T-1r. Aly's motion be defeated, with the understanding that the President would, at his convenience, arrange an early meeting with interested faculty members. The motion was then put to a vote and defeated. The President stated that he would arrange such a meeting as an informal session, not as a formal meeting of the faculty.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

The minutes
GM'PUS SPZAK3RS. ~fr. Roland Bartel, secretary of the Facult,y Senate, moved on behalf of the Senate, the approval of the follo.ving formulation


of longstanding University policy in regard to the appearance on the campus of speakers who are not members of the University community:
A university is by definition a place of free inquiry. Without freedom to seek information in the library, in the classroom, in the laboratory, in field studies, and in the words of campus speakers, the objectives of a uni versi tycannot be achieved. In accordance with this basic Principle of -freedom to seek information vlherever it may be found, the University of Oregon makes this specific statement of policy with respect to the appearance of campus speakers who are not members of the University community:
(1) Any faculty or recognized student group may invite to the campus any speaker the group would like to hear.
(2) The appearance of an invited speaker on the campus does not involve an endoresement of his views by the University.
The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried unanimously. President Flemming stated that he concurred wholeheartedly 1vith this formulation of Uni versi ty policy.
FACt;T,TY CLLTS. Ill". G. H. ~lannier gave notice that he would move, at the April 1962 meeting, that the faculty reconsider its endoresement of the maintenance of the Faculty Club vinits present location.

Al]lISSIOJ\TS POLICY. ]\1r. R. D. Clark, chairman of the special Committee on Admissions, stated that a report from his comw~ttee would be distributed to the faculty within a fe" days, and gave notice that he would move, at the I.1ay 1962 meeting of .the faculty, the approval of the following recommendations incorporated in the report:
(1) That freshmen and transfer applic~lts be admitted to the University of Oregon if their record indicates they are likely to succeed in the University degree program, as indicated by an Index of Probable Success.
(2) That, when the policy is fully operative, probable success shall be interpreted to mean that the applicant's record indicates he will ha~e 50 chances in 100 of making a 2.00 GPA in his first year at the Universj~y. (3) That, during a transition period when facilities are available at the University and the community colleges of the state are in the process of development, students shall be admitted even though the chances of success are less than 50 in 100 of making a 2.00, the level of admission to be determined by the availability of facilities.
(4) That the Admissions Office, in order to facilitate the admission of new students, establish and publish the following: (a) The level of the high-school GPA which, by itself, would assure an Index of Probable Success sufficiently high for admission. All applicants with tbis high-school grade level would be admitted as a matter of course.


(b) An explanation o£ the admissions procedure utilizing, the Index o£ Probable Success, with illustrations o£ the combinations o£ highschool GPAts ~~d Scholastic Aptitude Test Scores necessary for admission. These scores should be set high enough £or flexibility, and should be accompanied by a statement that additional students w'iU be admitted if £acilities permit.
(5) That the Admissions Office announce to the high schools at least one year in advance the standards to be used £or admission.
Mr. Clark also gave notice that he would move, on behalf of his commi ttee, that the £acul ty request the President to study the Uni versi ty IS experimental early-admissions policy, as approved by the State Board of Higher Education, and that he be asked torecommend to the Board such adjustments in policy as may be neces~ary to keep the enrollment within the resources of the University and to make such progress as is possible towards the admissions policy recommended above.
STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY. President Flemming outlined for the £aculty the University building program for the 1963-65 biennium. He pointed out that this program, though absolutely essential in the light of anticipated enrollment increases, will be very care£ully scrutinized by the Governor and the Legislature, and that the Uhiversity must be prepared to answer the question that is certain to be asked: Are our present facilities being Dsed to full capacity? Any evidence of undeI'1Jtilization will, we may anticipate, be used to justi£y reduction of the University building program.
For this reason alone, it is essential that the Uhiversity take steps to insure the fullest possible utilization of its j~structional facilities. But the Uhiversity also faces .an immediate problem, instructional facilities for the large increase in enrollment anticipated for the fall term of 1962-63. A careful survey of available classrooms indicates that, next fall, we must utilize these facilities at additional hours. Present plans call for a full schedule of nine class periods between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Honday through Friday and for four periods on Saturday morning, the arrangement of three lcIDcheon periods in the dormitories and Student Uhion to allow the scheduling of classes during the noon hour, the discontinuing of the free assembly period on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m., a requirement that departnlents schedule a certain percentage of their courses after 3:00 p.m. or on Saturday morning, and a requirement that all freshmen take at least one course scheduled for Saturday morning.
There being no fDrther business, the meeting was adjourned.
