REPORT OF CHAIRMAN BF :BOARD

"b. That capital outlay funds be provided for the two mew state tti
recommended for the Tampa Bay area and the lower East Coasit-area.

"c. That for the existing state universites capital outlay funds ke provided
in the immediate future for only such nonresidential facilities as are necessary
to replace obsolete and temporary buildings and to provide facilities for such
specialized needs as faculty offices, new programs of instructip, and expanding
research activities. .. :

"d. That the existing state universities be encouraged to provide additional
housing for students, through projects that are either -entirely or primarily self-

liquidating,

so as to provide residential facilities for the maximum number of

students that can be

accommodated in their present nonresidential space.

The Board of Control has not adopted all of the

recommendations,

has taken steps

to implement

those agreed

upon.

These

will be

discussed in

a subsequent section.

A summary

of the findings of the

Council

is shown below:

"1. The population of Florida is expected to more than double between
1950 (2,771,000) and 1970 (6,119,000), and there will be increasingly large
concentrations of population in urban centers as ell asa continiation of
the shift of population to the south.
"2. Income.of Floridians will increase at-ai somewhat mdre rapid rate than
the population, but, even so, the resulting increase in per capita-income. in
Florida will leave Florida in about the same relative position among the states.
"a.- In 1953 constant dollars, the& total income of Floridians was about
5 billion in 1954 and will be between 12 and 18 billion in -1970; per- capital
income was about $1,500 in 1954 and will be approximately $2,000 in 1970.

"3. The economy of Florida in 1970-
and- somewhat less dependent on tourism;
manpower, both technical and professional;,
compensate for a decline in the relative size

will -be more highly industrialized
it will -be in need of well-trained

is convincing- evidence

that there will be at:least three times

in- 1955 (44,526).

and of th-in'dividuals concerned

REPORT THE JOHN MAUtLE-:lJCPla!LB$iMSBCTM O' ,it" ."

To THE S'rArsg BoneD or CournOL:
GE THEMN: B i -- .N. 0,.958
Following is the report of our progress and activities for the biennium,
1954-56: .
A. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Attendance. During this biennium, 207,560 adults visited the Art Museumn .:
and of these, 63,612 were admitted on combination tickets, 68,588 on tickets
to the Art Museum only, and 75,860 free on the 104 free Sundays; 140,555
adults visited the Residence, 638,61 on combination tickets and 76,948 on
single admission tickets. 41,002 adults visited the Circus Museum on single
admission tickets. No tabulation was made of the children under 12 who
are admitted free when accompanied by adults. In addition, 7,250 students
in 145 school groups were admitted free to the three Museums. (See Exhibit I, .
Report of Admissions and Receipts.)

Until June, 1955, the combination ticket which admitted the purchaser '
to the three museums was $2.00; single admission to the Art Museum was $1.00, .
to the Circus Museum, 50 cents, and to the Residence, $1.50. The Residence .
ticket included admission to the Circus Museum. In June, 1955, admission to
the Residence was .reduced from $1.50 to $1.00 and no longer included admission "
to the Circus Museum. Other prices remained unchanged.

Combination ticket sales in 1954-55 increased greatly over those of the
preceding year. The increase in sales of indiMdcd"al tickets and the concomitant
decline in sales of combination tickets in 1955-56 i m incided exactly with the -
closing of the Circus Museum from December 9. 195 to May 24, .1956. .

Buildings and Grounds. During the tea years of liigation after Mr. Ringling's
death and the ensuing nine years of state operation of the Museuni, few ajitOr
repairs were made on either the Art Museum :building or the fesideme oe -'Lj

Financial Report. See Exhibit II for a statement of the financial operations for
the years ending June 30, 1955, and June 30, 1956.

B. THE ART MUSEUM
The efforts of the Museum staff during this biennium have been directed
primarily towards extending the program of conservation and restoration,
completing the rehabilitation of the galleries, and expanding the educational
services.

CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION
Restoration of Paintings. The restoration of the four Rubens cartoons, a project
so immense that it is being followed with great interest by museum officials
and restorers throughout the country, was begun in June, 1954, by Edward O.
Korany. During the 1954-56 biennium, the relining, cleaning and restoration
of The Four Evangelists and Abraham and Melohisedek, and the relining of
The Fathers of the Church was completed. Special materials for the best preser-
ration of paintings in a sub-tropioal climate, such as wax and resin adhesives
and plastic varnishes, were employed. The project is scheduled for coiapleton
during the next biennium. During this biennium, seven other paint iti ja*re
completely restored, including the Isenbrant Descent from the Cross, the mot
important work of that master in this iountxy, ad eight others weated pei
preservative treatment. & .

Picture storage racks, upon which paintings not
f~fire n, have been constructed in the south basement of the
A* Mui'.us ic. 'The acks, installed on tracks for easy movement, are spaced to
allow paintings to hang freely and to permit maximum air circulation necessary
Si bifilt mildew growth. The picture storage area has been closed off from
the:rest of the south basement to protect paintings from moisture and shop dust.

.GALLERY IMPROVEMENTS
' ilhe furring out and covering of the walls of all galleries with cloth, essential
to protect the paintings from the moisture of the plaster walls, has been com-
pleted during this biennium. A false ceiling, an inner skeleton wall hung with

cloth, and a new lighting system

were added to the Rubens cartoon room

(Gallery 2) for the protection and most effective display of the newly restored
paintings. The Sales Desk room (Gallery 1) was completely refurbished.
Galleries 15 and 16 were rehabilitated and a gallery of decorative arts (Gallery
17) was made of the former publicity office to provide space for the exhibition
of; 18th century furniture and ceramics.

EDUCATIONAL. SERVICES

The educational

services

of the Ringling Museum

were considerably

increased during -the 1954-56 biennium despite the difficulties of securing
ttaied personnel in lower echelon positions.

Circulating Exhibitions and Visual Training Aids.

In an effort to stimulate

appreciation of art and arouse interest in the Museum through the entire state,
a program of circulating exhibitions was initiated. Fifteen exhibitions were
deqignet. and constructed at the Museum during this period and circulated
to 86 schools. The response has been so enthusiastic that a considerable

qpsiunla4 this program is planned.

during the biennium. In addition, 812 adult groups totaling approximately
7,550 persons, attended special galley talks provided for bus tours and adult
groups not connected with educational institutions. a
Symposium. Concerted efforts were made to secure the participation of students
and faculty of the University of Floiida, h*e. University of Miami and tie
Mingling School of Art in the eighth and ninth annual spring symposia sponsored
jointly by the Florida State University and the Ringling Museum. Registration
for the 1955 symposium on contemporary art. was 474 and for the 1956
symposium on contemporary American art was 885, both signal increases over
previous registrations.
Children's Art Classes. The Satur;lJay wqrg children's art class was introduced
in January, 1951, as a ten-week class limited to 40 students with a registration
fee of $2.50 to cover the cost of'matetals. Aet a J.ape of two.years, the class
was offered as a twelve-week course limited to& 40 students, but at a fee of

$12.00 per student to

cover

costs of instrutin; and material. Because of the

great demand for radmission,.to, h*,tclaardthe limitation .on the number of

students

was eliminated the following yaRteand additional instructors

were

employed. The length of the class was established at twelve weeks. In January,
1955, 71 students registered at a: iep of *$10f a.in 1956 -enrollment increased
to 103 students at a fee of $12S.O each.k Te:Zoirnse it taught by professional

GftS. Mr. Edward W. Beattie, Jr., of Sarasota, piesented to the Museum a
eileotion of thirteen German watercolors and prints by ~eorge Grosz, Christian
zn Karl Hofer, Richard .~eewald Franz A .Ewld Matare and Kathe
/z. Al of these work formerly bel ed o German Museums. In the
rthirties, they were removed by fte Nazi Government and offered for sale
to foreign museums and collectors. 'Mr. Beattie, at that time an American
newspaper correspondent in CGemanj, bought them from official sources. This
gift is the first group of contemporary works of art accepted by the Museum.
Other gifts were a North Italian Faience Bowl, c. 1750, from Mrs. Francisco
Terry of Paris, France, in memory of ,her husband; a Greek vase from Mr.
Manual Ortiz, of Sarasota, Florida; and three engravings from Mrs. Wallace
Thompson, of Galesburg, Illinois.
LOANS TO OTHER MUSEUMS
The esteem in which the Ringling Collection is held both in Europe and
America is again indicated by the number of requests for loans of objects for
temporary exhibitions'. Thirty-one paintings, six sculptures, and one kylix were
borrowed by American institutions during this biennium, and seven paintings
were included in .exhibitions in Bologna .and Vercelli in Italy, in Bordeaux,
France, and;.Haarlem, Holland. The Ringling paintings included in the com-
prehensive exhibitions of Guido Reni in Bologna and Gaudenzio Ferrari in
Vercelli were widely discussed in European publications and were reproduced
in the elaborate and scholarly catalogues of the exhibitions.
LOANl EXHIBITIONS
The scope of the loan exhibition program was broadened during this
bie umn to appeal to a greater numberof Floridians with diversified interests.
'WSl~'designed objects of daily use, lhiotographs and models of architecture,
prints and Oriental calligraphy were exhibited as well as paintings and sculp-
tures. In recognition of the professional achievements of Florida artists, the
Dtst comprehensive, invitational exhibition of contemporary Florida paintings
*edd inr 95an d a comparable' show of contemporary Florida architecture
was arranged in 1956.

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL EVENTS .
A rich variety of activities., of -the type which enhances .the. Museum's
national prestige and broadens its statewide appeal took place in the Asolo
Theater during the past two seasons. The New Music Quartet and the
harpsichordist Sylvia Marlowe with the cellist Bernard Greenhouse gave. recitals
in 1955; the Dublin Players returned for four performances each season; the
Kingsland Marionettes 'gave.Christmas performances; Virgil Thomson, composer
and critic, and Ann Barzel, Associate Editor of Dance Magazine, appeared as
guest lecturers. The professional staff of the Museum gave a series of special
lectures each season. In March, 1956 the National Grass Roots Opera Company
presented Mozart's Cosi Fan T.ite n Rossi' Tie Barber of Sedille in thi
Museum court. .
LIBRARY
The transformation obf oln Ringling's collection of art books into an art
reference library was beu i'irSeptember, 1958. During the 1954-56 biennium,
free-standing open metal-library stacks replaced the odds and ends of bookcases
formerly used. Existing library material was systematically reorganized for
convenient open shelf use and an etivt program of binding of periodicals
and paper covered books ws.e4m eai :ei chased during this period
were for the most part basiot, rga. ep o af summer of 1954, the
library acquired articles and monographs written by the most noted scholars of Dutch and
Flemish paintiagps Itee past seventy-fie years. Many of these sa-d6

To the Bnorable

The Board of Control of the State of pflri lla

Gentlemen: V
The biennial reports of the past presidents to the Boards of Control stit
a history in serial form of the development of the University of FloidaTh
are a constant source of reference to scholars, staff members, 'and others ic-r
cerned with specific phases of the institution's growth. One cannot. read these
reports without experiencing a deep sense of pride in the vision, the courage,- te
dedication to educational and public service, and the sacrificial effort whichPk a.
gone into the building of the University. The printed word has not aJlways been
adequate to interpret the spirit of the institution. The joys accompanying each
successful effort to push back the barriers of ignorance, whether by research,
the inculcation of knowledge, or by precept and example, as well as the tragic
disappointments and frustrations of those who attempted to carry the University
forward from year to year are not easily described.

In reading biennial reports since the transferral of the University to Gaines-
ville in 1906, it is obvious that the positive factors far outweigh the negative,
and the forces of progress, though lagging at times, have eventually overcome
the retarding forces.
When the Board of Control and the Board of Education honored me by their
invitation to accept the presidency of the University of Florida in the Spring of
1955, I knew the magnitude of responsibility involved, for I had had the privilege
of serving as a teacher and administrator, respectively, under two distinguished
men who had held that high office. One cannot be associated with an institution
such as the University of Florida for two decades without having its interests

and welfare imbedded deep in his thoughts and affections.

Consequently, I ac-

cepted the challenging offer and entered upon my new duties April 1, 1955, with
the determination that I would to the very best of my abilities endeavor to carry
forward the work of the University in the fine tradition set by my predecessors.

The two year record covered by the biennial report for the period July 1, 1954 to
June 80, 1956, like many preceding reports, shows high peaks of achieve
as well as disappointments. Some discouragements are perhaps. inevitable., h,^ y,:i
sap the vitality and effectiveness of the total University program. it31. W .
cere hope that contributing causes will be remedied in the new biqnii. -

For their patience, understanding and cooperation dturing*e' dB Eiie
orientation in the presidency, I wish to express thanks to a, ph-li;:dif

BIENNIAL REPORT '
The operaon of the Uveity are so vast that t is no longer St
integrate the college, school, and departmental reports into an ame!pabe .:*
within the brief apace allotted for the President's report. The individual repet
will have to be examined separately for details of the biennial activities. Theg
are all worth reading. A selection will be made of certain units or portions
departmental reports for the purpose of focusing attention upon some
problem, which in many instances will be applicable to the whole institutional
structure.
A proper perspective of the last two years must inevitably take into considera-
tion some factors which not only cast their shadow over world events Le., national
and international affairs, but also over that closer area just beyond the confines
of our academic community, namely the State of Florida, whose interests and
people the University is designed to serve. Some of these factors likewise have
a bearing or will have a bearing upon the new biennium which we are about to
enter. I beg .indulgence, therefore, to touch as briefly as I can upon some of them.
We are in a period of global unrest. Possibly at no time in history has the
world witnessed a greater political, economic, social and moral upheavel, es-
pecially in "peace-time." Education at home and abroad cannot escape the impact
of the dynamic changes that are taking place.
In the past, new educational concepts evolved to meet the demands of the
times. For instance, church oriented and dominated colleges were formed in
colonial days to provide an educated citizenship for Colonial America, all pat-
terned after institutions in Western Europe. Later state supported universities
evolved from many of the colonial colleges when the latter were no longer able to
meet the demands of a new, dynamic society. The new institutions, however, re-
tained much of the old, especially the liberal arts programs and other features
of the colonial colleges.
The land grant colleges were formed at a time when the nation needed to
democratize its educational opportunitiesfor the benefit of an expanding popula-
tion, increasingly dependent upon agriculture and industry for a livelihood. The
land grant movement, begun with the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862, formed
a new and revolutionary concept in higher education, according to Thwing, whq
wrote of it:
"The time was favorable to-enrichment and enlargement-it was a period "
of newness-mighty anticipations of mighty powers were filling the heartst:a'
and. minds of men." -
Edward D. Eddy, Jr., of the University of New Hampshire, recently;pointed
out in an address before the Land Grant College Association that "probably no
other country in the world would have produced these land-grant college," and !% :
citing them as "Democracy's colleges," he calls attention to' the fact tet "the '-
have become a pattern for higher education in many struggling replbfies *t* >.v
tempting to find and -assert themselves. What-was. once a great tontdbution toq ,
America is now becoming an even greater contribution to thefworld."sF. A

4 The U.8.. eems to think that after four or ive years of:-
physics in a ten-year school, another four years of physics in a peda- ,-
gogical institute is enough to train a physics teacher for a high
school!
5. A typical Soviet profeesor earns 6,000 rubles a month-about
ten times the salary of an ordinary worker. An outstanding research
man or engineer can earn as much as 40,000 rubles a month when
consulting fees are included. This means a town apartment, a ear .
and chauffeur, a dacha in the country, perhaps a villa in the
Crimea with a vineyard.
6. The University of Moscow, which dominates the Soviet capitol
with its gleaming new 38-story central tower, dedicated to the
sciences, enrolls 23,000 students. The investment of three billion
rubles for this new building, completed in 1953, is astonishing by our
standards. This is equivalent to at least 150 million dollars. This
building cost more than has been spent for the complete physical
plant of all but a very few American universities. It contains 1900
laboratories. It was built to symbolize to all Russia what lies ahead
in the fulfillment of Soviet educational ambitions for youth.
7. The Soviet Union' is today producing almost three times as
many new engineers as we are, yet its own industrial capacity is
still only half the size of ours. What will happen to this growing
crop of trained men? Premier Bulganin, at the 20th Soviet Congress
in February, said that under the new five-year plan, 4,000,000 gradu-
ate technicians would pour out of Soviet institutions by 1950. Where
will they go? Most assiiredly a substantial block will be exported.
They are new-type, front line .troops. The countries of Asia, Africa,
and Latin America' are. hungering for the knowledge and know- r :
how which these men command. ''
8. The number of 1iaiifd engineers in the U.S.S.R. increased
from' 41,000 in 1929 to '541,00 in 1954-an increase of 06,000 ::
in 'twenty-five yetrs, or 1ai00 er cent. In the United State0, our": nt
increase .as "foi 21,000 to 600,000 in approximaIel th.. saitf' '

AGRICULTURE

With the elevation of the Provost to the presidency, and the retirement of
tbariO. Noble as Dean of the College of Agriculture, and H. G. Clayton as
Director of the Extension Service, the top administration of the research,
teahingc and extension divisions underwent a reshuffling. Willard M. Fifield was

diminution in the productive research and educational programs which have been
established.
We have lost, by resignation, two key scientists during the past year whose
leaving was a severe blow to us. They were tempted by much higher salaries.
Temporary replacements have been named pending a thorough search for quali-
fied successors. Outstanding men must be found if a permanent crippling of the
programs is to be avoided.
The construction of the new Agriculture Building has heartened all engaged
in agriculture. The building will be dedicated on December 1, 1956, in honor of
the late Governor Dan McCarty, a graduate of the College of Agriculture.
The added space will result in greater efficiency throughout all of the agricultural
units. The completion and occupation of the new Agricultural Engineering Build-
ing in August 1955 has been a great boon to this important segment of the Uni-
versity.
The Department of Horticulture will be divided, effective July 1, 1956, into
four departments, Food Technology and Nutrition, Fruit Crops, Ornamental
Horticulture, and Vegetable Crops.
In July, 1955, Botany was separated from Plant Pathology and set up as
a separate department.
During the biennium, 278 active research programs of work were pursued.
Increased attention has been given "to developing basic research projects related
to our major agricultural endeavors since these programs are vital to developing
new products, new industries, and greater efficiency in many existing operations."
Progress in the developing and releasing of new varieties of legume crops,
fruits, and flowering plants; in identifying plant diseases; in improving insecti-
cides and means of control; and in marketing has been significant. There have
been fruitful results in many phases of animal science research. The detailed
reports will be found most interesting.
Much of the research of the Citrus Experiment Station has been directed
towards work on the burrowing nematode which in 1953 was found to be the
cause of spreading decline of citrus. Dr. A. F. Camp, who has long served as
Vice Director of the Citrus Station, requested retirement to become effective
early in the new biennium. He has served as a consultant to the Argentine and
other governments in the problems of citrus decline and production problems.
His retirement will remove from the scene one of the best known men in the
nation in the field of citrus culture.
The Extension program has expanded or modified its activities during the
biennium to meet the new and changing development of the State. A large in-
crease in urban families served has been noted. The total number of rural and
urban families served increased by 32 per cent or from 165,127 to 218,288 families.

so badly shattered in 1955.

ARTS AND SCIENCES

One of the most

encouraging

aspects

of the biennium under

review

was the

authorization, following legislative approval, to proceed with plans for a Physics
building, the need for which has been so urgently presented by the College of

Arts and Scien
several biennial

ces, the College of Engineering, and the Graduate School for
legislative sessions.

"Physics is responsible for su
atomic bomb, and radar. Physics

ch recent developments as nuclear energy, the
is fundamental to such areas as electricity, op-

tics, electronics, and

engineering

in general. Further development in these

areas

is dependent upon research in physics. Physics is taken by engineering and pre-
medical students, chemists, pharmacists, predental students, and science teachers,
among others, and the field is rapidly expanding."
I am happy to report that plans are nearing completion for the new Physics
Building and it is anticipated that bids will be let for construction of the build-

ing in the early fall.

The completion of this building in the new biennium will

go a long way toward placing the University of Florida on a sounder footing as

14

I

a leader among educational institutions. A strengthening and implementation
of the Physics faculty, especially for work on the graduate level, will be one of
the most urgent demands of the new biennium.
Undergraduate and graduate enrollments in Arts and Sciences continue on
the increase. In terms of areas covered and number of degrees granted, the
doctoral program is the largest in the University. In spite of this, several
important areas need up-building so that graduate programs may be offered in
them.
Undergraduate enrollments for the first year of the biennium was 1159; and
the second, 1434. Graduate enrollment stood at 926 for the first year of the
biennium and 882 for the second. The Ph.D. degrees granted were 32 and 42
respectively for these periods.

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The death of Walter J. Matherly on September 25, 1954, removed from our
midst one of the most capable members of the Administrative Council and the
Dean of one of our most progressive colleges. He had served the university
twenty-eight years, and was the first dean of the college, which he organized in
1926. We were fortunate to secure as his successor Donald J. Hart who, in the
relatively short period since his appointment on January 15, 1956, has shown a
fine grasp of the college and its important activities.
Dr. Hart received his Bachelor's degree at Lake Forest College and his
Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at the University of Wisconsin.
In addition to practical experience in industry, Dr. Hart has served in the busi-
ness operation of Iowa State College, as a professor of economics and business,
and as Dean of the College of Business Administration of the University of
Idaho, from which post he came to the University of Florida.
As in other major divisions of the University, keen competition exists for
professional staff members. Faculty salaries are, in many instances, below the
earnings of first year graduates with the bachelor's degree, whose services as
auditors, accountants, statisticians, and the like are in constant demand by busi-
ness organizations.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
Dean Joseph B. White points out in the biennial summary of the College of
Education that, within a five-year period, the number of white teachers employed
in Florida increased from 18,885 to 27,920, or slightly more than 50 per cent.
The number of students entering upon teaching education as a career has not
kept pace with the rapid growth of the school population.
Upon this College will rest much of the responsibility of training teachers to
staff the state public school system for the avalanche of students predicted A
the next decade. A maximum of expansion is essential. To provide this without
sacrificing quality in the process will tax the ingenuity of those responsible,or
.this important part of the University program.
During the past year a self-evaluation of the College's program wa; bee
under way. The staff in the college is .making a continuous effort to4- al
qualifications. ..This is reflected in the fact that in 1950 twenty entq

MI lead to an harmonious settlement of differences and criticisms leveled at the
College in the past and paves the way for a larger percentage of graduates from
vthep colleges to enter the teaching profession if they should choose to do so.
Real problems have been encountered in building the new P. K. Yonge Labora-
tory School Building authorized by the 1955 Legislature. Bids, opened in the
spring, were so far in excess of estimates and funds available that substantial
alterations in plans had to be effected. It is hoped that the new bids to be opened
in September may be met so that construction on this important building may
proceed without further delay. The space will go far to relieve the almost hope-
less space situation now existing with respect to the College of Education.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT STATION
With world attention focused upon scientific achievement and scientific pro-
gress, it is but natural that the engineering programs of the University of Florida
would reflect some of the aura of importance attached to this professional field.
Our programs, both in teaching and experimental research, are vigorous and
thriving. The two programs are complimentary and each has aided the other in
attaining successively high goals of achievement. A qualitative and energetic
faculty in the teaching division was largely responsible for the referral to this
institution of substantial war related research involving millions of dollars. These
funds aided substantially in holding the faculty, .and both the teaching and
research units have profited thereby. State funds have been utilized to initiate
projects which showed promise of having economic value. When sufficient evi-
dence accumulated to indicate a project had possibilities if further developed,
industry has been invited to share in the further cost of such research. In this
way industry and the federal government have furnished a substantial part of
the cost of our engineering research program. It is estimated that the outside
funds in the operating budget of the Engineering and Industrial Experiment
Station are approximately five times as great as those available from State ap-
propriations.
In calling attention to the salary situation as it effects Engineering, Dean
Weil points out that they are in closer competition with industry than some
of the other professional fields. Like other deans, he regards his staff as over-
loaded and underpaid. He states, "the situation is particularly peculiar in this
field due to the fact that in the case of 80 percent of our workers, their salary
in its entirety is reimbursed. Research contractors have, almost without ex-
ception, indicated that they felt that our workers were underpaid and have in-
dicated their willingness to pay higher salaries." He further argues that often
contractors are disturbed because they feel there may develop work stoppage or
16

interruptions because of the threat of workers leaving for higher salaries else-
where.
Dean Weil recommends, and I believe his arguments have much merit, that
Florida should now grasp the opportunity which has been thrust in her direction
because of the momentum of a new industrial boom, to "create a great scientific
and technological center which will continue to attract more industries to our
State." Furthermore, Florida has the opportunity of becoming the focal point
of technological development not only from the standpoint of our own country
but also from the standpoint of South America and the countries to the east of
us in the decade ahead. Large sources of money would be required to bring
this about initially, but it is the consensus of leading industrial planners that the
results would more than justify the investment. As in all great enterprises,
timing is of the essence. Whether the time is now at hand for Florida to strike
out boldly and match some of the large-scale undertakings associated with other
major educational institutions such as those of California, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa,
Michigan, New York, and other states would be up to the Governor and the
State Legislature to decide.

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
and
OFFICE OF CONTRACT RESEARCH
In March, 1956, new standards of admission to the Graduate School, based
upon the Graduate Record Examinations, were adopted. All but two of the col-
leges of the University adopted an admission standard of 500 average score on
aptitude sections of the Graduate Record Examinations in addition to a B-average
undergraduate record for upper division students. The College of Education and
the College of Physical Education and Health asked for a lower admission stand-
ard based on an average GRE score of 400, and a 2.5 undergraduate grade-point
average. This will enable approximately twice as large a percentage of college
graduates to meet the graduate admission standards for studies in the latter two
colleges as for other subject matter fields. The new policy will result in im-
proved selection of graduate students in all divisions of the University although
the concept of a single admission standard has not as yet proved practical.
Dean L. E. Grinter who has made a notable contribution to the development
of our Graduate School and in stimulating research since joining our staff in
1952, points with concern to certain factors which will influence the future de-
velopment of these most important phases of our educational program. Chief
among these is the matter of adequate salaries to recruit and maintain a competent
graduate faculty. At the risk of duplicating a good part of Dean Grinter's
report, I shall quote at some length therefrom to substantiate this view.
He asserts that "the quality of graduate work cannot be further enhanced"
-by merely paying more attention to or improving upon administrative procedures,
but "The next step in improvement of graduate study can only come from-a basic
strengthening of the graduate faculty.... The policy in staffing graduate' schx~46
has always, been to select individuals both from the undergraduate faeult~y M d
from other institutions, government and industry who have the special apfitA

She total face value of research contracts in force at the end of the fiscal
.year 1954-55 was $2,682,849.91, and for the fiscal year 1955-56, $3,568,419.21.
There -was some overlapping of contracts between the two years of the biennium
as there will be within the new biennial period. A research backlog or unexpired
value of contracts in force as of June 30, 1956 amounted to $1,334,776.30.
An Analysis of Sources of Contracts and Research Grants will be of interest

LAW
The establishment of a chapter of the Order of the Coif brought added recog-
nition to the College of Law during the biennium. The inspection which preceded
approval of petition for the new chapter covered "not only the formal program
and statistical data which reveal the operation of the school, but many intangible
items such as student and faculty morale and the overall spirit of the college."
Enrollment increased 21.5 per cent during the biennium and all indications
point to similar increases for several years to come. An orientation program for
law students introduced in the biennium has proved most helpful. Students are

18

introduced within a five day period to the traditions, ethics, and activities of the
legal profession. Several of Florida's most distinguished barristers have par-
ticipated in the programs.
It would be difficult to assess the place of the Law College in the life of this
state. If Martindale's Law Directory were consulted, I suspect no state would
show so large a percentage of its first-rate lawyers coming from a single institu-
tion as Florida. An increasingly large number of judges, legislators, members of
the Congress, and cabinet officers are drawn from the ranks of Florida's Law
College graduates.
Again the matter of faculty salaries is disheartening. We cannot say too
emphatically that some amelioration of this situation must take place if the
integrity of the Law School is to be maintained.
Later in this report, I shall touch upon the activities of our new Health
Center, of which all of us are so justly proud. Without indulging in any un-
favorable contrasts to the detriment of any unit, I think it but fair to say that
the medical college, which will be opened to students this fall, will enjoy from the
outset the resources of a Library far more adequate for its purposes than the
Law College, whose library has been in use for a half century. We are proud
of the adequacy of the Medical Library-to have less would not be in keeping
with the destiny of the medical sciences on our campus; but, Law, too, deserves
something better. It seems fitting to lift from Dean Henry Fenn's Biennial Re-
port his statement concerning the Law Library.
"During the biennium 2,645 volumes were added to our library, bringing the
total collection to 48,707 volumes. The library stands forty-sixth in size among
the 129 law schools approved by the American Bar Association. There are few
law schools with which we feel we should be upon a competitive basis that have
as small a library as ours. Most of the mid-west state university law schools
have libraries double the size of ours. Before steps can be taken to remedy this
situation, it will be necessary to greatly increase our accessions budget and also
provide additional space for library expansion during the next biennium."

THE J. HILLIS MILLER HEALTH CENTER

The combined reports of the deans of the College of Medicine, the College of
Nursing, the College of Pharmacy, and the Director of the Teaching Hospital
and Clinics, constitute a new and interesting sequence addition to the biennial
report of the University of Florida. From a standpoint of institutional history,
this section of our biennial report may be regarded as the most important. It
should bring pride to every citizen of the State of Florida. Florida was late to
recognize its need for health service education, but when it finally faced up to
the need, it did so boldly and magnificently. There is nothing mediocre in the
whole Health Center picture and program. A generous legislature provided appro-
priations to take care of the first phase of the Health Center development according
to thebest estimates of consultants and experts. These were to erect (1) a medical
sciences building and (2) a teaching hospital and clinic. When the amount .ap-
propriated for the Teaching Hospital was found to be inadequate, an additional
appropriation was provided in an extra session by the Florida Legislature, iTp
request for additional funds was included in the agenda of matter. s tb bpN

Medicine
The following excerpts from Dean George Harrell's report bear repitition:
The Medical Sciences Building is now nearing completion. Teaching of the first
two years of the medical curriculum will be largely conducted in this building.
An adequate library for the initiation of teaching has already been collected,
valuable accessions having been acquired as gifts from the professional libraries
of a number of Florida's physicians. A young and enthusiastic faculty is being
recruited. A nation-wide search was conducted for each department head, and
an average of six candidates was interviewed for each post. The faculty for the
teaching of courses in the basic medical sciences will be in residence early in
the next biennium.
Teaching grants have permitted the early addition of other faculty members
for educational planning and explanation of teaching techniques, as well as early
initiation of research.
The first class of fifty students has been largely selected and instruction will
begin in September, 1956.
The readers' attention is directed to Dean Harrell's complete report for details
concerning the splendid faculty selected to date.
Dean Harrell, in addition to interviewing applicants and selecting a faculty
for the Medical School, has continued to serve on numerous medical boards and
has published ten scientific articles during the biennium. He and Dr. Russell
Poor, Provost for the Health Center, have made numerous public appearances to
explain the progress of the Medical program.

Nursing Education
We were fortunate in securing as the first Dean of the College of Nursing,
Dorothy M. Smith, who came to us from the Hartford Hospital School of Nursing,
Hartford, Connecticut. Dean Smith received her B.S. in Nursing Education from
Columbia University, New York City, in 1941, the Master's in Education from
Harvard University 1947, and has done graduate work at Duke and New York
University.
She has had both teaching and administrative experience at hospitals in New
England, and the Duke University School of Nursing.
Since joining our staff in February, 1956, she has developed a curriculum
plan for the four academic years' program leading to a Bachelor of Science in

Registration and Nursing Education. She has also interviewed prospective stu-

Pharmacy
For many years Pharmacy has operated as one of the University's strong
independent colleges. This biennium witnessed its integration with the Health
Center under the provostship of Dr. Russell S. Poor. Dr. Perry A. Foote, who
has served the college so effectively as Dean since 1949, will continue in this
capacity under the integrated program. This administrative adjustment has
served to bring about a closer relationship between Pharmacy and its kindred
professions of medicine and nursing.
The need for more adequate space to accommodate the rapid growth in this
professional field has been recognized and a Pharmacy Building at a cost of
$1,250,000 will be urged in the next requests before the Legislature.
As in practically all units of the University, substantial salary increases are
deemed of primary necessity if a first class operation of the College is to be
maintained.

Teaching Hospital and Clinics
Plans for the Teaching Hospital and Clinics were developed during the year,
following numerous conferences with consultants, architects, and engineers with
the staff of the various units of the Health Center. The final plans called for
building the substructure of the hospital under a separate contract from that
of the superstructure. Completion date for the hospital has been set for October,
1958.
Certain portions of the building as originally planned were eliminated from
the plans put out for bid in order to make sure the building would come within
the hospital appropriation. Specifically the psychiatric floor, the fourth, fifth,
and sixth floors of the connecting wing, and the 1st floor of the specialty out
patient clinics and certain unfinished areas had to be restored to give maximum
efficiency of operation. Realizing the desirability of reinstating these units as
well as the economy factors involved, the Governor incorporated in his call for
the special Legislative Session, a portion of the teaching hospital.*
Mr. Michael J. Wood, who assisted with the Commonwealth Study and who
has been identified with the planning and programming of the Health Center from
the beginning was chosen to be the Director of the Hospital and Clinics.
The next phase of planning will involve the selection of a competent staff
and the purchase of equipment. It is expected that the entire unit will be in
operation so that patients may be admitted and the first medical and nursing
students can enter upon their clinical work by 1958.

THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH
There is cause for rejoicing in the report of the Dean of the College of Physical
Education and Health. The biennium witnessed no major health problems among
students, but a definite improvement in their general physical fitness.
The programs sponsored by the College involve (1) a "Required Physical
Education Program for Men and Women" which seeks to assure every member
of the student body a maximum of physical fitness both during and after, their
college experience. The relatively small percentage who, because of. health :re-

The Student Health Service has been staffed by a competent corps of phy-
eians, nurses, and technicians, who have been adequate to meet our student-

body health needs. The Infirmary served 4002 in patients and 114,095 out patients
during the biennium. In addition, 2,057 pre-employment physical examinations
were administered to non-academic employees of the University, and 1,598 food
handlers' certificates were awarded.

The old gymnasium assigned for use of women students was condemned
early in the biennium and while in the process of restoration, classes have been
held ion the Florida Gymnasium and the recreation rooms of Broward Hall.

Additional staff members are needed to handle the greatly increased enrollment
of women students. Altogether, the health of a student body is a major factor
in any educational program and it is gratifying to be able to report that our ex-
cellent student health program was maintained with maximum efficiency and
without incidennium. In addition, 2,057 pre-employment physical examinations
without incident.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATIONS

STUDENT PERSONNEL PROGRAM
Counselling
The student counselling service originating in and supervised by the Office
of Student Personnel through the Dean of Student Personnel, the Dean of Men,
the Dean of Women, the Fraternity Advisor, Foreign Student Advisor, Student
Placement Officer, and Director of Clinical Services has been satisfactory.
The Dean of Student Personnel requested and has been granted a release from
administrative duties during the forthcoming academic year to accept a visiting

22

professorship at Columbia University, after which he will return to the University
as a member of the faculty of the College of Education.
With the adoption of a stricter policy of admission, it is believed that a more
mature type of student will come to the University in the future, a class better
fitted mentally and psychologically to undertake serious academic work. It is
to be hoped that these more mature-minded students will be more self reliant
and not so dependent upon frequent day-to-day counseling as some of the less
mature ones who have burdened the counseling services in recent years. The
next biennium will be a testing period which will be closely observed. Meantime,
it is the consensus of several highly respected members of the Administrative
Council, in which I concur, that problems of discipline should decline as greater
emphasis is placed on academic work. Advisement for students seeking loans,
financial help, employment, or those wishing to participate in extra curricular
activities will continue as in the past.
Florida's traditionally strong student government was founded on the Ameri-
can precept that the best governed are the least governed. In the coming biennium
we shall continue to emphasize this tradition. Under the skillful leadership of a
corps of good counsellors now performing an excellent service, we have every
expectation that our students will be able to govern themselves.
Housing
More adequate housing for our ever-growing student body remains on the
list of our critical needs. The completion and dedication of Broward Hall in
the latter part of the last biennium brought some relief for women students. Dur-
ing the Spring of 1956, room applications from freshmen women and men in-
creased about 28 per cent over the same period of the preceding year; the number
of applications from entering upperclassmen and women increased 43 per cent,
while applications from married students increased 19 per cent.
Inasmuch as the University was unable to accommodate all applicants the
previous year, this represents a very substantial group of Florida students who
had no chance of securing housing at the State University of their choice.
A federal housing loan of $3,000,000 will provide additional space for 1,000
students by 1958; however, temporary structures accommodating 400 will be
razed, so that the net total gain in space will be only 600.
Some housing facilities for married students must be provided to take the
place of rapidly deteriorating Army barracks, which have housed married GI
students for more than a decade. This is especially true with the emphasis which
we expect to place on our Graduate program.
The housing facilities of the University have been largely self-liquidating
projects. From the standpoint of cost, they constitute a smaller burden upon
the State than any of the University's facilities. No effort should be spared in
the new biennium to secure additional facilities which will enable the University
to accommodate a larger percentage of its students with adequate housing and to
provide for an inevitably larger student body. In this objective we earnestly solicit
the aid of our legislature.
The- counseling system in the residence halls is regarded as excellent. Harold

DIVISION OF MUSIC
"Students and staff of the Division of Music have contributed generously
to the enlargement and the enrichment of the music life of campus and State.
A year-round service program has been maintained in cooperation with education
and music organizations throughout Florida. . Accomplishment is evaluated
not only in terms of numerical increases; there has been an equally rewarding
extension in taste and literary lines. Florida's music is well on its way to maturity
and the role it will play in our expanding educational structure and community
planning (recreational and avocational) begins to take on an entirely new stature.

THE MUSEUM
The Florida State Museum, which serves as both a University and State Mu-
seum, is a growing cultural and scientific asset. During the biennium it has ful-
filled within serious limitations of space and finances, the major functions for
which it was created, i.e. "(1) to assemble and maintain collections of cultural
and natural objects; (2) to encourage productive research on this material by
Museum staff and others; and (3) to disseminate knowledge through publications
and displays." During the biennium, Museum displays were viewed by 275,000
persons. Valuable accessions during the biennium brought the collections in
custody to over 600,000 specimens or lots of specimens.
Under a cooperative arrangement with the State Board of Parks and Historic
Memorials, displays were developed and constructed for two small museums, one
at the Olustee Battlefield near Lake City, and the other at Constitution Memorial
Park near Port St. Joe.
The museum under the enthusiastic leadership of Dr. Arnold Grobman, has vast
possibilities of usefulness to the University and the State. Lack of space is the
principal obstacle to bringing the Museum into a position of major usefulness.

It is estimated that a building suitable for displaying the collection of Florida's
interesting fauna and flora (regarded as among the most interesting in the
northwestern hemisphere) would cost approximately $1,250,000. We must begin
to give serious thought to this potentially great cultural asset as soon as some
of our more pressing needs have been met.

THE UNIVERSITY PRESS
The Press, after a decade in makeshift space, moved into its new quarters
in Florida Field Stadium in October 1955. The new quarters give this important
activity a background and place of operation in keeping with its importance in
the total institutional program. It has published twenty-five volumes in the
biennium and plans to issue fourteen books in each year of the coming biennium.
A majority of the Press publications were the works of University of Florida
authors. While commenting on this aspect of the University's cultural program, it
is appropriate also to call attention to the very large number of excellent books
that have been authored by University scholars during the biennium, published
by other Presses. A complete listing will not be made, but attention is directed
to the following:

THE SCHOOL OF INTER AMERICAN STUDIES
Our Inter-American Program continues to develop in usefulness and as a
characteristic unit of our institution. Our proximity to Latin America quite
naturally has led to a greater emphasis and interest in that area than in other
parts of the world.
During the past year, the University, in keeping with federal government
policy, has lent the services of a number of its key personnel to other countries
under ICA contracts or through special institutional contracts. Some have gone
to Asia and Europe, but a majority have accepted Central or South Anierican
assignments. The University has been invited to initiate contricta With Ait

mg to the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. During the biennium
twenty-four students were enrolled in the graduate program; five completed work
for the M.A.; several received the Ph.D.
The Annual Caribbean Conference, which brings together delegates from
the United States, Latin America, and the British West Indies, continues to
focus attention upon problems and cooperative means to meet them as well as
cultural aspects of the various participating countries. Scholars, diplomats,
government officials, and representatives of business and industry are patronizing
these conferences in increasingly large numbers from year to year. We feel that
the University of Florida is making a significant contribution in this way to a
very important phase of international relations.
Expenses of the Caribbean Conferences have been shared for several years
by the Alcoa Steamship Company to whom we are greatly indebted for their sup-
port. We are fortunate in having the United Fruit Company as a co-sponsor
for the Conference to be held in the Fall of 1956. Mr. Walter B. Fraser of St.
Augustine has continued to give the program encouragement and very generous
support.

constitutes the largest single gift by a private donor in the history of the Uni-
versity Libraries. The collection is rich in labor and religious content and is
already being put to good use by specialists and scholars interested in labor and
industrial relations.
The need for additional reading rooms is critical as well as larger appropria-
tions for implementing our collections pursuant to the growing demands of the
University both at the graduate and under-graduate levels.

CONCLUSION

Those whose interest in the biennial activities of the University has been
sustained up to this point will no doubt conclude with the writer of this report
that significant progress was achieved in spite of serious handicaps; moreover
than an impartial evaluation of the needs of the institution for the new biennium
is a difficult task indeed. If the reader has analyzed the departmental reports,
he would with certainty agree that the needs presented are bona fide and, in
most respects, urgently pressing.
If the cumulative requests and recommendations of department heads could
be met ,the University would be elevated to a new dimension in educational
service to the State. To ignore the essential departmental demands, even for a
two-year period, is a deterrent to progress. The problem then is to seek a solu-
tion for those demands which seem most pressing, while bearing in mind constantly
the potential ability and willingness of the State to meet the cost of financing
them.
Our primary need is and my first aim shall be to secure an upward adjustment
in faculty salaries. This is essential if we are to retain our best staff members for
another biennium. Competition is now keen. Indications are that it will be even
worse, especially in Florida, where industry is moving in so rapidly. This will
include also a very substantial increase for key administrative personnel to meet
at least the minimum salaries paid for like positions at like institutions. Strong
deans build strong colleges. They can attract strong department heads who, in
turn, build up strong faculties. Weakness at the top levels is the poorest type of
economy. In most instances we are unable to fill vacancies which develop in key
positions without offering two or three thousand dollars more than was previously
paid, and our searches for replacements have been nation-wide.
We are giving top priority on our Building List to a new College of Archi-
tecture and Fine Arts Building. The very reputation of the subject field repre-
sented in this College is at stake. Florida will suffer the diminishing prestige of
one of its most valued colleges to its own great detriment.
Additional housing and classroom space is absolutely essential, even if the
undergraduate enrollment remains constant. Hundreds of qualified Florida stu-
dents sought admission in the biennial period drawing to a close who could not
complete their matriculation simply because no room accommodations: were avail-
able. In our building requests, we are asking for new construction to meet our
minimum needs. Other building needs and their priorities are as follows:

The future pattern of higher education in Florida has not yet been firmly

A greater use of new techniques involving radio and television, especially
for extension courses and adult education, no doubt will be proposed. A wider
use of existing high school plants and facilities for night courses and technical
training in urban areas is already being advocated in some quarters. -
In any eventuality, whether the problem of handling the numbers who desire

tl ir 4, iaH-ary conl, and the expansion of
: and research facilities -.
SAs Dean L E. Grinter has pointed out in his report "Our upper salary level
is now $10,000 below that of the strongest graduate institutions." For those not
acquainted with the total American educational picture, this may seem un-
bieTilvable, but it is nevertheless true. Florida's vital interests demand that some-
thing be done to narrow the distance which now separates it from a more respec-
table place in the American educational picture at the graduate level.
Much of my biennial report has dealt with our scientific and research pro-
grams. I should like to balance the picture somewhat on the humanistic side
by quoting from a recent address by Dr. Mortimer Graves, a distinguished Ameri-
can scholar.
"Our society supports the scientists, not through any love for the constant
and relentless probing of the unknown which science is, but because it sees and
cherishes the results of applied science. Up to the present, it has not seen
and thus has had no chance to cherish the applied humanities.
"There are very definite things to be done. The whole dimension of Asia-
or better, perhaps, of the non-West European world-must be added to higher
education. . Higher education in the humanities is no longer-if it ever was-
only a local responsibility; it is an element of our national security and welfare."
The major problems ahead of us are not problems of sheer science and knowl-
edge but problems which are quite hopeless of solution without the specific compe-
tence and the general attitudes of humanistic scholarship."
Obviously a well balanced program for a University of today and the future
must place proper emphasis on the humanistic and social studies. This the
University of Florida has been doing and will continue to do.
These various factors which have been mentioned as comprising a balanced
program together with constant emphasis on improving the quality of our educa-
tional performance is consistent with the changing policy on admission standards.
We have every reason to expect better students, and students who will properly
assume their obligations of leadership in a university community.
The University of Florida stands today in point of development, student en-
rollment, budgetary support, and national prestige at about the same place the
University of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and a few others stood between
one and two decades ago. Florida stands today economically, that is to say, in a
relative position of personal and per capital income where states supporting such
institutions stood between one and two decades ago. Today those state-supported
institutions are among the great intellectual centers of the world. Florida, if
it is to fulfill its destiny, must join this company and do so as soon as possible.
The decision lies largely with the people of Florida as expressed through their
legislative representatives. It is encouraging to observe recent statistics issued
concerning Florida's standing in the nation with respect to rate of increase for
total personal income and per capital income respectively during the past twenty-
five years. It stands at the head of the list. Florida's total personal income shot
up from $752,000,000 in 1929 to $5,923,000,000 last year, a phenomenal 687 per
cent increase. Since 1939 the real income per capital in Florida has increased
76.5 per cent. These figures, coupled with the astronomical predictions relating
to Florida's future growth, measured in terms of increased population and in-
creased industrial activity, would seem to indicate that she will be financially able
to support a first class educational program both at the high school and college
80

and graduate levels. Within a decade, with appropriate biennial financing, it
would be possible to bring the University to a place of eminence in the American
educational picture. In addition to the need for new classrooms, a technological
center, a more equitable salary scale and more adequate student housing, a new
music auditorium, and a new Union building for students, we need a faculty club
where staff members may gather to exchange views and associate with others
not in their department or specialized fields. These things will go far toward
meeting the specifications of a real University center.
The University lost during the biennium, by virtue of retirement, fifteen of
its most devoted staff members and, by death, seventeen others, whose passing
was mourned by a host of former students, colleagues, and friends. The service
rendered by these servants of the State is beyond measure. All whose lives have
been touched and enriched by them would join in an accolade of thanks for their
particular contribution to the cause of education.
The University and the State of Florida will ever be indebted to the follow-
ing staff members who retired during the biennium: '

Sir rd the honor to present to! you the followhig report on the conduct of
t ih businessmanagement activities of the Univeisity or the 1954-56 biennial
period. 'The pertinent financial schedules are attached hereto and indicate in
detail. the result of financial operations during this period.
I would like to take this opportunity to comment specifically upon the following
points.

General
1. The development of a comprehensive punched card accounting system has
been continued and during the period of this report all accounting records have
been maintained on punched cards. This has greatly facilitated the preparation
of the periodic operating statements necessary for effective management and has
also enabled us to provide many analyses and studies for administrative attention.
2. The effect of the operation of the Health Center, particularly the Teaching
Hospital, upon the organization and functions of the Business Office has been
the subject of careful study and planning. In cooperation with the Provost for
the Health Center organizational responsibilities and channels of authority have
been developed to meet this need.
3. We believe it is appropriate to insert in this report the following comments
from the audit report of the State Auditing Department for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1955;
"All expenditures were properly supported by vouchers and were
kept within the provisions of the applicable laws. Those disburse-
ments made from funds on deposit with the State Treasurer were
pre-audited and approved by the State Comptroller prior to payment.
The financial and accounting records of the University were well
kept and adequately reflect the financial transactions during the year.
Adequate budgetary controls were in operation throughout the year
under review."

Fiscal Operations
1. Effective July 1, 1955 and pursuant to Chapter 29800, Acts of 1955, a
Working Capital Fund was established for the purpose of providing central cost
control for general services necessary to the operation of all University depart-
ments and the auxiliary enterprises. All items furnished from central stores
inventory as well as services such as maintenance, repairs and transportation are
being financed from this fund by billing the appropriate operating department
on the basis of actual cost for materials and services furnished, including reason-
able overhead and depreciation charges.
2. During this period a comprehensive cost study has been initiated in collabo-
ration with the State Budget Director and State Auditing Department. The
results of this study will be of inestimable value to management in determining
as accurately as practicable the instructional costs of the several areas of in-
struction represented in the University

32

S. Plans were initiated to expand and refine the accounting systems and pro-
cedures of the Agricultural Experiment Stations in order to provide additional
information relating to the cost of the various research projects carried on by
these stations.

Physical Plant
During the period covered by this report, the Medical Science Building, au-
thorized by a $5,000,000 appropriation made by the 1953 session of the Legislature
was substantially completed. The contract was let for the construction of the
Teaching Hospital authorized by an appropriation of $8,600,000 by the 1955
session of the Legislature and work on this project was initiated. Detailed plans

wS s d encan inatitutionr:

tt Sn the opinion of its staff, the C-l Department, which conducts the course
24lerican Institutions, is making satisfactory advances in developing the
.:4taes.intao genuinely general-education course. While still insisting on basic
.a4~ ~ material, more and more the emphasis is on teaching students how to
deal with facts and information in a meaningful and conceptual way.
During the past year the C-l study guide or Syllabus, which is prepared by
the staff, has been doubled in size and a major part of the student's required
reading is now in the Syllabus. We find that freshmen do more reading when
the readings are actually put in their hands.
The evolution of the Syllabus exemplifies the increasing emphasis being
placed on how to use factual materials to think independently and constructively
in social, economic, and political matters, on how to use information to detect
social and political trends and to analyze their causes, implications, and inter-
connections. Much more time is now allotted to such concepts and analyses as
the basic cultural attitudes and values of Americans, the many-faceted nature
of the American private-enterprise economy, the extraordinary dynamism of the
American economy, a comparison of the American economy with significant
foreign economies, the operation of the balance-of-power system in international
relations and how balance of power is entwined with ideological conflicts, the
implications of atomic energy for the American economy and for future inter-
national relations, the meaning of democracy, and the meaning of liberty.
In making replacements and adding new members to the C-1 Staff, marked
progress has been made during the past year toward achieving our personnel
goals, that is (1) to appoint members of the staff from a wide variety of the
large graduate schools of the prestige universities; (2) to appoint members of
the staff from a wider variety of the social science disciplines, particularly from
cultural anthropology and institutional economics, to insure a better balance
between history, political science, sociology, and economics; (3) to appoint those
who have not ony a thorough grasp of their individual specialties but also the
intellectual ability to think in larger terms and to see how their specialties
affect and are affected by other areas of knowledge; and (4) to appoint those
who have had actual experience in teaching general education as well as in
teaching their specialties.

Physical Sciences

The Department of Physical Sciences (C-2) has made progress during the
past biennium along the following lines: (1) improvement of quality of the
teaching staff (2) the acquisition of facilities for observational work in astronomy
(3) revision of syllabi and (4) interdepartmental cooperation.
(1) Five new members of the permanent staff have been obtained. Of these
four have Ph.D. degrees which were received at California Institute of Tech-
nology, the University of Chicago, Indiana University, and Pennsylvania State,

and one is completing his doctoral dissertation here at Florida. Two are
theoretical physicists with experience in general education at the University of
Chicago, one is a physical chemist with training in general education at Harvard
on a Ford Foundation Fellowship, and two are geographers. One of the men
from the University of Chicago is recognized nationally as an authority on
cosmology.
(2) Before leaving Chicago to become a member of the C-2 staff, Dr. Guy
Omer was able to conclude negotiations with Mr. Richard E. Schmidt for the
gift of an 8 inch refracting telescope. The lens for this telescope was ground
by Alvin Clark who is generally regarded as the best lens maker this country has
produced. The telescope is valued by the manufacturer, Gaertner Scientific
Company, at $20,000.
To house this telescope and a 10 inch reflector previously presented to the
Department by Mrs. Fred Heath of Gainesville, a 16 by 32 foot brick-and-concrete
observatory has been erected just south of the brow of the hill at the old WRUF
site. The refracting telescope has been completely reconditioned in the shop of
the Department of Physics, and it is expected that the observatory will be com-
pleted so that the telescope can be installed in the next few weeks.
The observatory will be used for observation sessions with C-2 and astronomy
students, for research, and for the public. It will supplement the Spitz plane-
tarium, which has been used for classroom instruction, and for demonstrations
to twenty-eight groups from off the campus during the last two years.
(3) The C-21 text OUR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT by Gaddum and
Knowles of the C-2 staff has been adopted for use by about sixty colleges and
universities during the last two years..

Self-Evaluation

Effective teaching being a primary consideration in the University College,
the C-3 staff has followed its continuous program of self-evaluation. During
1955-56 the course Syllabus underwent complete revision, based on new and
improved textual materials. This revision, the nineteenth in twenty-one years,
will be put into use with the opening of the University in September, 1956.
Each semester studies have been made of the testing procedures, of the
instructors' scores on speeches and written compositions, and of the parallel
reading reports and timed-reading charts of all C-3 students. These studies,
made to determine not only the quantity and quality of work done by C-3
students but also the effectiveness of the instructional staff, have served as a
basis of staff meetings, where the meaning and results were discussed and where
plans for improvement were formulated.

English for Foreign Students

Spache has published privately Good Books for Poor Readers and Resources
in Teaching Reading, and, in collaboration with Professor Paul C. Berg, The
Art of Efficient Reading (Macmillan Company). There was also published
a manual to accompany this latter book. Professors J. Hooper Wise, J. E.
Congleton, and Alton C. Morris (of the College of Arts and Sciences), at the
request of Harcourt, Brace and Company, have prepared revised editions of
College English: the First Year and The Meaning in Reading. This is the fifth
edition of the last named book. Both books have accompanying exercise manuals.
Professor R. H. Bowers has edited Robert Johnson's Essayes (1607).

Professional Activities

Members of the C-3 staff have also been active in the programs of professional
and learned societies. Eight members of the staff have served as chairmen of
committees or of programs, and one, Dr. Spache, has served as president of
the National Association for Remedial Teaching and as a member of the Board
of Directors of the International Reading Association. In all twenty-nine papers
have been read before professional and learned groups. Such organizations
include, in addition to those named above, Modern Language Association, South
Atlantic Modern Language Association, Conference on Communication and Col-
lege Composition, National Council of Teachers of English, Florida Council of
Teachers of English, Southwest Reading Conference, and National Association
of Foreign Student Advisers. In addition, other members of the C-3 staff have
been active in the above and other organizations. In all, there have been eighty-
four participation in activities and programs of a professional nature.

Applied Logic

The course in Applied Logic has reached the age of maturity. For the first
19 of the 21 years of its offering, the course was in process of basic growth and
formulation. It differs from courses in traditional logic found in many collegiate
institutions in two respects. In the first place, the selection of subject matter
has been made solely with the view to its application and potentiality of appli-
cation in the present and future lives of our students. In the second place, this
course endeavors to bring to the student an understanding of the factors which
impel him to think at all and of the factors within himself and concerning him-
self which direct and mold his thinking. In this latter respect the course in
Applied Logic as offered in this University seems to be unique. It is this respect
also which required the long period of basic study and formulation before
it could be said that the course had reached the age of maturity. This study and
experimentation resulted in the publication of a textbook by Little, Wilson,
and Moore in April, 1955. The primary value of this book lies in the fact that
it presents the course to the student in an organized, integrated, and readable
42

form, and at the same time provides him with an abundance of practice material.
The vitality of a staff is usually reflected in the activities of the individUal
members. Five of those who teach Applied Logic are counselors in the University
College and as such are in positions of responsibility and service with respect
to the individual student, over and above the responsibility of the classroom.
This dual assignment of teaching and counseling is reciprocally valuable. The
counseling brings about a better understanding of student problems and enables
the staff member to be more effective in the classroom and the work in the
teaching of logic often enables him to do a better job as a counselor. Several
members of the staff have been invited by fraternity, sorority, religious and
other groups to give talks and addresses. Dr. Moore and Dr. Wilson have, by
invitation, conducted periods of instruction in sound thinking before groups of
the Parent-Teacher Associations at the annual short course held at Florida
State University and at high schools in Tampa and Gainesville. Dr. Wilson also
conducted four hours of instruction in sound thinking for the Dade County
Council of Parents and Teachers.
The need in the department is for continued study and research. It is gratify-
ing that practically every staff member is engaged in meaningful research in
the field of his principle interest. Of greater concern from the standpoint of
applied logic is the formulation and execution of studies designed to explain more
effectively when and how a person thinks and what can be done to improve his
thinking. The observation of psychologists that human beings think to justify
prejudices or to sustain decisions already adopted seems to be correct for most
persons in most circumstances and perhaps there is no more important topic
for investigation than the explanation of man's behavior in the realm of think-
ing and of ways in which he may be induced to improve and to utilize his
thinking potential. This and the improvement of practice material for our
students constitutes a series of projects which two members of our staff plan to
pursue as intensively as other duties will permit. *

Fundamental Mathematics

(The report from this area has been included in the General Mathematics
Department report presented by the College of Arts and Sciences.)

The Humanities

We have been assembling a body of desirable materials concerned with the
influence of the Humanities in contemporary life and using these materials
experimentally in one Humanities syllabus. In January 1955 these essays were
published for our use in book form by the Dryden Press, entitled The Humanities
in Contemporary Life. Since its publication this text has made a real contribution
to the effectiveness of our program. In addition to The Humanities in Con-
temporary Life we also use our text in philosophy, Philosophies Men Live, By.
It has been a source of real satisfaction to see this text, written for our program
and published by the Dryden Press, being-adopted in more than a hundred othei
colleges and universities throughout the country. ,,
During the past two years two members of our staff have had leaves of
absence to accept scholarship awards. Professor Graeffe spent a year aa sting
professor at Okayama University in Jtpan under a Fulbright award; Prefeesso

.' I April of this year the chairman was asked to speak at the annual Human-
ities; Festival at Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville. While at 'Peabody
he spent some time in consultation with committees at work evaluating the gen-
eral education program in that institution. He was also asked by the American
Association of Colleges for Teacher Education to serve as a consultant in a
Teacher Education and Religion Project which the Association now has under-
way. In May Professor Carson spent two days at Chipola Junior College in
Marianna where he spoke to the faculty and visited a number of classes in
seeking to help them strengthen their Humanities course.
As usual, both Professor Carson and Professor Freeman Hart have made
rather extensive contributions to various community enterprises. Mr. Carson
has been especially active among high school groups, speaking on the importance
of the arts in every day life. He has likewise been asked to judge several art
contests. Mr. Hart has not only been active in community enterprises but also
in the work of the national fraterity to which he belongs and as a member of
the Athletic Committee at the University.
Among our younger staff members both Mr. Tilley and Mr. Livingston have
spent considerable time in completing work for their Ph.D. degrees. Mr. Living-
ston expects to receive his degree from the University of Minnesota during the
present year and Mr. Tilley hopes to complete his work at the University of
* Chicago with another year.

Biological Sciences
There have been no major changes in C-6 or its administration during the
past two years.
The faculty has grown, replacements have been few, and scholarly work has
been outstanding. The national recognition given to Dr. A. F. Carr on the
publication of his books deserves special mention. The staff in general has been
very active in research while maintaining a satisfactory level of teaching interest
and ability.
Some experimentation has been done on the selection and presentation of
material. For three semesters a series of general lectures has been made part
of the course for that portion having the smaller enrollment (C-62 the first
semester, C-61 the second etc.) Various types of lectures and presentation of
material has been attempted. The staff for the most part feels that this has
been a successful program but time and space make it difficult to apply to the
course as a whole. C-6 should be a four hour credit course instead of the three
hours it is at present.
During the past two years a considerable amount of time has been spent in
discussing the desirability and ways and means of adding some laboratory
experience to the C-6 course. The problem has not as yet been satisfactorily

44

solved.
Another pressing problem associated with the administration of C-6 centers in
the relationships between C-6 and other units of the University concerned with
programs in the field of Biology. Four Coleges apart from the University Col-
lege are principally involved: The College of Arts and Sciences, College of
Agriculture, College of Medicine, and the College of Education.
At present most of our staff members teach upper division courses, supervise
graduate students, hold research contracts, or conduct research work under
arrangements with the Department of Biology. In turn most of the faculty of
that Department teach sections of C-6 and take an active part in determining
staff policy in C-6. For many years this symbiotic relationship has continued
successfully with only a few instances of serious disagreement. (ex. Bly. 181).
This cooperative policy should be continued with the Department of Biology
and extended to include other interested units in the University. Currently, less
well developed cooperative staff agreements have been established with College
of Education (Dr. MacCurdy), Department of Botany (Dr. Griffith), Depart-
ment of Psychology (Mr. Corlis), the College of Medicine (Dr. Leavitt, and
perhaps through joint appointment next year of Dr. George W. Hunter III),
and the Florida State Museum (Dr. Grobman and Dr. Dickinson). The lecture
program has also given us an opportunity to utilize the services of special
lecturers from these other faculties.

Faculty Personnel

During the first

year

of the biennium there was a slight decrease in the size

of the instructional staff of the College.

For the academic year 1954-55 there

were

159 full-time faculty on our staff. During the second

year

of the biennium

this number was increased to 168.
I regretfully report the death of Dr. Lew Sarett, Visiting Professor of Speech,
Dr. W. Clyde Allee, Head Professor of Biology, Professor W. L. Lowry, Associate
Professor of Journalism, and Dr. James Miller Leake, Head Professor of History
(retired).
Dr. Sarett was appointed to the faculty of the College in September 1951
following his retirement from Northwestern University, and died August 17,

1954.

Dr. Allee retired from the faculty of the University of Chicago in 1950.

He accepted the responsibility of heading our Department of Biology in Sep-
tember 1950 and died March 18, 1955. Professor Lowry served in our Department
of Journalism from his appointment in 1930 until his retirement on February
28, 1955. He died in May 1956. Dr. Leake retired as Head Professor of History
and Political Science June 30, 1950. He had served as a member of our staff

since 1919 and died June

1956.

Dr. H. B. Sherman, Professor of Biology, was retired from active duty at his

Graduate Program-College of Arts and Sciences

Each year has shown a slight increase in the number of graduate students
admitted to the program. The Departments of the College are increasingly aware
of the necessity of maintaining admission standards so that the quality and
successful performance of graduate work has been most satisfactory. The num-
ber receiving advanced degrees has been stabilized at an average of about 34
per semester.
The Department of Geology has been given permission to give the Master's
degree as soon as their staff has been increased by one new Ph.D. instructor.
The Department of Geography has been approved for the giving of work leading
to the Ph.D. degree.
Efforts have been made to increase the quality of graduate work as admin-
istered by our various Departments. The addition of qualified faculty, an increase
in the salary scale, and the provision of adequate space and equipment are vital
for maintaining and further developing our graduate program.
For the coming year, the use of the Graduate Record Examination with
specified "cut-off" scores for admission will pose one of our most important
administrative problems.

Student Advisement

The College has continued to maintain its thorough academic counselling
program during the past academic year. Thirty members of its faculty served on
the Advisement.Panel and all students in the College had at least one appointment
with an adviser during each term in residence. This program has now been in
operation for 5 years. During each year about one-fifth of the Advisement Panel
members are replaced for one reason or another. As of the present time, about
fifty of the present faculty members of this College are serving or have served
as members of the Advisement Panel. This amounts to a quarter of our entire
faculty. Perhaps never before in the history of the College has so great a pro-
portion of its faculty been so well-educated in the details of degree requirements
and related student difficulties. The system would appear to be resulting in a
steadily increasing dividend in effective, -but informal faculty advisement in
addition to the regular program of academic counelng, cn a
A d- -_ .

--il5eel 9 o di~tiona space cctiaues tao fe. the basic problem confronting
tbeCoUege. Inneaeh of my biennial reports since 1948 I have reported a desperate
need for space. Currently the.need is greater than it was eight years ago. With
a steady increase in the number of students, and with the College constantly
accepting additional academic responsibilities, I once again respectfully request
that additional space be made available for our use.
The instructional programs of several departments of the College are seriously
retarded because of inadequate teaching facilities. Additional class rooms are
badly 'eeded. Once again I request that consideration be given to the advan-
tages to be derived from the construction of a University theatre.
