In 1986 Alumni H Ollse will emerge

projects received support from the AM as well du ring the year

Johnston Hall Restoration The AMF has made a three-year

com mit men t to the resto rat ion of Johnston

Ha ll as OACs administrat ive headquarters Conceiveu hve years ago by a group of OAC alu mni the project has in vol cd redesig ning

orhce ~pace refurbishing the dean ofti cc and the OAC se minar room rebuilding antique panelling and plas te rwork and retinishing

period furniture

TIle result says OAC [)can Freeman McFwcn is a hom fo r OAC that we can he pfo ud of At a timc when the Univers ity is

st riv ing fo r exce llence he says restoring some o f the unique features of thi s buildi ng is one of the exce llent thi ngs we can do And it woul dnt have been poss ible without al um ni support

When OAC a lumni come back to Gue lph Johnston Hall is one of the pl aces

they grav itate to says Dave Barrie OAC 53 A pre~ i den t of the OAC A lumn i Association Thvse roo m h It many fond me mories he says so to see them res to red

and looked after is meaningful

Laboratory School One of the newest projects approved fo r

fun di ng fro m the JMF is redeve lopment of

the outdoor laboratory school facility in the College o f ami ly anu Co nsumer Stud ies

The preschool play area is an important part of the C o lleges child stud ies program

says FACS Dean Richard Barham but the facil ity had deteriorated over the years and the

Co llege had no fi nancial means of rev iving it

It was in such disrepair in fac t that our program was seriously in jeopardy

The Mac-FACS Alumni Association hegan the redevelopment project in 1984 and

is now involved in help ing raise the more than

$60000 needed 1O pay fo r new equ ipment and landscaping the s ite Although the project

is not quite com pleted the new equipment already in place and the si te development in

progress are even now providing stude nts with a far more comprehe nsive range of early childhood urriculum plann ing and

implementa tion experiences than was pos~ib le

be fore says Barham With this new rang

of activ it ies avai lable for the preschoo l child there are also much bette r opportuni t ie~ fo r

conduct ing research on eh i Id development problems and curriculum

Forster Fellowships Another of the newe r projects the AMF

support s is the Forster Fe ll owshi p named ill

memory of the late presiuent Donald Forste r The fe ll owship wh ich provides funds for

facul ty develo pment rotates annua ll y among the seven colleges -Ine C ol lege of J rt s

received the first fe llowship in 1985 in 1986 it goe~ to the Coll ege of Soc ia l Science

College of Art s Dean Dav id Murray says the fe llowship has met a g reat neet at the

Un iversity fo r faculty to have re lease time to con ti nue the ir research Each of the s ix Arts

facul ty me mbers who rece i ed fellowship funu las t year were cngaged in work ()f major chol arshi p he say~ anJ I have

great antici pa tion of the 4u~lI ity and ignificancc of the work that wi ll be produced

One of the recip ients of th fiNt fe llow~hip Fine Art professor Chand le r

Kirwin vi ited some of the rnitjor art

Ill ucums in Europe to do research lor a book he is wr it ing on the arts of art and war during the reign of Pope rhan VIII Hc says the fellowship was a ti mely in tervent ion tha t alloweu him to move ahead on his rcearch

muc h Inore quickly th an he haJ hoped His trave ls have brought him back to the

Univers ity wi th a reneweJ sense of my

miss ion and refresheu eye whic h I hope I am able to hring into the c lassroom

Unrestricted Funds Important Although the AMF Icached a record

total this year the advisory council wasnt able to give as much fin anc ial support as it had hoped 10 so me projec ts Sltlys Don Livin gs ton director 01 annual gi ving Alumni Affairs and Dcve lopme nt TIlats because 60 per ce nt of the money rai sed was designated for specilic uses by donors and th e rcmaining undcsig nated funds weren t enough to support each AMF project at the leve l originally planned he ays

In rece nt years donors have increas ing ly chose n to design ate their support to projects in which they have a spcc ifie inte res t or to areas where th ey believe th ere is a significant need says Li vingston As a result thc am ou nt of unres tri cted funding has deelined and that ITas had a signilicant imract on how the advisory council se lec ts projects lor su pport

Although every gift to the ni vers ity is impol1ant he says we hope to incrcase the amount of unres tricted dollars available in the future Unres tri cted dollars give thc ad visoty counc il some licxibili ty in all oca ting [unds to take adva nt age of specia l oP Pol1unitics that ari se from tirne to tim e

Library Acquisitions Being able to take ad vantage of special

opportuniti e~ is pal1icul arly imponant for th e McLaugh lin Library whi ch has beco me increas ingly dependent in recent year on thc AMFs undesignated funding to purchase special collections or vo lumes th at may become available periodi call y The numbcl of found l ti ons and granting agencies to which the Library can apply fo r acquisitions fun di ng is limited and the Uni vers ity and government have both cut back on such funding ~ays Bernard Katz head of the LibralYs humanities and soeial sciences division

Kat z says the Library uses AMF money to buy things that we would not othcrwi se be able to primaril y ra re antiquarian and out-Qf-print items that are impol1ant to teachin g and research but are onl y on the market for a shon period of time Because the Liblary has had cQnsistent AMF suppon over the years he says it has built up a good relati ons hip with dealers They oeten let th e Library know when ce l1 ain items are avail ab le befme they put them in th eir sales ca talogues

AMF funding has allowed the Library to build somc of the tinest collecti ons In Canada NOr1h Amcrica and the world in such areas as landscarc arc hitcc tulmiddote apiculture Scottish studies lgricullural and rurJI Ontarip ir istOlY and theat re art says Kat Recentl y the Li brary purchased one 01 the best private col lections of materialgt by and about Ci enrf e Bcrnard Shaw With AMF SU ppOI1 the Iibrary has also built extcnsive specia l eol k uions in Guelph s f(lunding

discirlines agriculture vc terinHY medicine and famil y and co nsumer studies

Ellen Pearson associate librarian inCormation se rvices says Library fundin g frornthe 1985 AMF was about 50 per ce nt less than we had hoped for Thc reduction is particularly devastating because th e Alma Mater Fund is one of our very Cew sources of funding that ca n be used to suppon special acqui sitions projectgt Adding to the impact of the funding cutback is the Canadian doll ar loss in purchasing power over the past year says Sauer Sixty to 70 per eent of the Li brarys purchases are made in U S funds

More Alumni Involved In 1986 the goal for Guelphs annual

giving program is $700000 It has been se t only slightly higher thallthe I~K5 con tribution level in recog nition of the fact that we re coming into a capital campaign thi s yea r says Livingston Both campa igns will run concurrently and well be as kin g peorle to not onl y continue their suppOI1 of annual giving but to make a srec ial gilt to the cap irul ea l11raign as we ll

A ITlltlJor goal of the 1 ~86 carnpaign he says i ~ tll gct more alumni in volved in annual giving The amount of th e gift isnt as important as the fact that you suppon the institution in a tangible way and maint ai n that suppon on a regul ar bas is

Annual giving is the Universitys basic private tinanci al surrort rrogram says Livingston and the AfvlF is the hea l1 of Guelrhs annual giving When th e AMF staned in 1 ~69 hc says it Va a tirnc whtn funding was not th e problem for universi ties that it is today The money rai scd dur-ing those early years was filr th e 1110st pan icing on the cakc fo r Guelph Since then however t hings have changed dramatically Traditi onal funding sources can no longer meet all the basic rcquir-e illents of thc Uni vc rsity and annual gi Ving is cruc ial to help makc up the difference Of course wc horc it will provide so me of the ex tr-alt as we ll

1 Fire On The Top Of A Mountain By John Hearn Public Relations and Information Services

I f this were England Nich()las Goldschmidt would I ng si nce ha e received his knightshy

hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of which Canada is so proud we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iation rather than with the worldshyclass accolades he ~ () richly deserves

Thetury as far 3 Guelph i ~ concemed begins in 1967 whe n Nicky Go ldschmidt was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Centennia l Commiss illn whi ch presided over Canad as mo~t bri llian tly memorable year of the century By tha t time he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts including fir t music director of the Royal Conservatory of Music Opera School first music director of the Canadian Opera Company managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Francico and New York unive rity music fac u lt i e~

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief however that he li rst met Guelph s then Dean of Well ington College Dr Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both men and wa of great historical portent for the City of Guelph

Between them Niey and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Role of niversit ies a uhural Leaders of ll1cir Communities l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a Toronto anu Montreal wcre already capable of ini tiat ing and sustaining significant performing art~ insti lll tions it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived and those that prov iued homes fo r uni er~it ies might rcLunabl look to these centre of I arning for lucal cultura l in it ia tives

The consequences of that conference have been fel t all across thc nation no t least here in Guelph where in 1968 Dr Goldschmidt wa inv ited to j in the fac ul ty IS

music d irector There was however a preview to this appointment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

World Standards It is p(ls~ibl that nothi ng wa ever quite

as imp0l1an t as their fir~ t uecis ion which was to accept nothing less than world standards for Gut1p h ~ thti al The Goldschmidt MacKinnon team was ofT and ru nn ing

John Krag lund wri ting in the Globe (1(1

Mail quotes Nicky as sayi ng My main thnl~ t in formulallng programs was directed at CanadIan pcrklrmers and composers but not to the excl u~ion f great an ists fro m the internat ional scene

NiCK ys vis ion has been fLlI l realized over the years wi th a galaxy of internat ionally renowned mists the production of Illany ra rely heard works and Illore than 25 specially cOllllllis ioneu pieces by Canadian cO lll po~cr~

It i Wlll1 h recall ing that during its liN i l ~eaons the Guelph Spring Festival was almot excl usive ly ~la l[cd and fi nanced by the Univrsity of Guelph lt~ offices were in the Art s (now MacKinnon ) Bui ldi ng and icky douhkd a~ the Fesliva l artist ic director and the niversity director of music In the lal r

capacity he was respl ns ible for all music Oil

CllllpUS One of hi s most important legacIes was

the strengthen ing of Ralph Klud popu lar tuuen t glee club to inc lude stalT anu faculty and frulll this emerged the Univer ity of Guclph Choir which suhsequcntly taged li vc succesIul Europlan tours in ten year~

What comes next fo r Nidy Golu~chmiut No one is taking his reti rement very seriously Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the general lttssuill pt iun is that he still ha) new worlds to conquer After al l hes on l 78

Dr MacKi nnon has the last word For 40 years Nicky has challenged CanadI ans with his enthusiasm energy and creativity His leadcrship is li ke a tire on the top of a mou ntain 0

Unrestricted Funds Important Although the AMF Icached a record

total this year the advisory council wasnt able to give as much fin anc ial support as it had hoped 10 so me projec ts Sltlys Don Livin gs ton director 01 annual gi ving Alumni Affairs and Dcve lopme nt TIlats because 60 per ce nt of the money rai sed was designated for specilic uses by donors and th e rcmaining undcsig nated funds weren t enough to support each AMF project at the leve l originally planned he ays

In rece nt years donors have increas ing ly chose n to design ate their support to projects in which they have a spcc ifie inte res t or to areas where th ey believe th ere is a significant need says Li vingston As a result thc am ou nt of unres tri cted funding has deelined and that ITas had a signilicant imract on how the advisory council se lec ts projects lor su pport

Library Acquisitions Being able to take ad vantage of special

opportuniti e~ is pal1icul arly imponant for th e McLaugh lin Library whi ch has beco me increas ingly dependent in recent year on thc AMFs undesignated funding to purchase special collections or vo lumes th at may become available periodi call y The numbcl of found l ti ons and granting agencies to which the Library can apply fo r acquisitions fun di ng is limited and the Uni vers ity and government have both cut back on such funding ~ays Bernard Katz head of the LibralYs humanities and soeial sciences division

Kat z says the Library uses AMF money to buy things that we would not othcrwi se be able to primaril y ra re antiquarian and out-Qf-print items that are impol1ant to teachin g and research but are onl y on the market for a shon period of time Because the Liblary has had cQnsistent AMF suppon over the years he says it has built up a good relati ons hip with dealers They oeten let th e Library know when ce l1 ain items are avail ab le befme they put them in th eir sales ca talogues

AMF funding has allowed the Library to build somc of the tinest collecti ons In Canada NOr1h Amcrica and the world in such areas as landscarc arc hitcc tulmiddote apiculture Scottish studies lgricullural and rurJI Ontarip ir istOlY and theat re art says Kat Recentl y the Li brary purchased one 01 the best private col lections of materialgt by and about Ci enrf e Bcrnard Shaw With AMF SU ppOI1 the Iibrary has also built extcnsive specia l eol k uions in Guelph s f(lunding

discirlines agriculture vc terinHY medicine and famil y and co nsumer studies

Ellen Pearson associate librarian inCormation se rvices says Library fundin g frornthe 1985 AMF was about 50 per ce nt less than we had hoped for Thc reduction is particularly devastating because th e Alma Mater Fund is one of our very Cew sources of funding that ca n be used to suppon special acqui sitions projectgt Adding to the impact of the funding cutback is the Canadian doll ar loss in purchasing power over the past year says Sauer Sixty to 70 per eent of the Li brarys purchases are made in U S funds

More Alumni Involved In 1986 the goal for Guelphs annual

giving program is $700000 It has been se t only slightly higher thallthe I~K5 con tribution level in recog nition of the fact that we re coming into a capital campaign thi s yea r says Livingston Both campa igns will run concurrently and well be as kin g peorle to not onl y continue their suppOI1 of annual giving but to make a srec ial gilt to the cap irul ea l11raign as we ll

A ITlltlJor goal of the 1 ~86 carnpaign he says i ~ tll gct more alumni in volved in annual giving The amount of th e gift isnt as important as the fact that you suppon the institution in a tangible way and maint ai n that suppon on a regul ar bas is

Annual giving is the Universitys basic private tinanci al surrort rrogram says Livingston and the AfvlF is the hea l1 of Guelrhs annual giving When th e AMF staned in 1 ~69 hc says it Va a tirnc whtn funding was not th e problem for universi ties that it is today The money rai scd dur-ing those early years was filr th e 1110st pan icing on the cakc fo r Guelph Since then however t hings have changed dramatically Traditi onal funding sources can no longer meet all the basic rcquir-e illents of thc Uni vc rsity and annual gi Ving is cruc ial to help makc up the difference Of course wc horc it will provide so me of the ex tr-alt as we ll

1 Fire On The Top Of A Mountain By John Hearn Public Relations and Information Services

I f this were England Nich()las Goldschmidt would I ng si nce ha e received his knightshy

hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of which Canada is so proud we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iation rather than with the worldshyclass accolades he ~ () richly deserves

Thetury as far 3 Guelph i ~ concemed begins in 1967 whe n Nicky Go ldschmidt was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Centennia l Commiss illn whi ch presided over Canad as mo~t bri llian tly memorable year of the century By tha t time he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts including fir t music director of the Royal Conservatory of Music Opera School first music director of the Canadian Opera Company managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Francico and New York unive rity music fac u lt i e~

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief however that he li rst met Guelph s then Dean of Well ington College Dr Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both men and wa of great historical portent for the City of Guelph

Between them Niey and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Role of niversit ies a uhural Leaders of ll1cir Communities l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a Toronto anu Montreal wcre already capable of ini tiat ing and sustaining significant performing art~ insti lll tions it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived and those that prov iued homes fo r uni er~it ies might rcLunabl look to these centre of I arning for lucal cultura l in it ia tives

The consequences of that conference have been fel t all across thc nation no t least here in Guelph where in 1968 Dr Goldschmidt wa inv ited to j in the fac ul ty IS

music d irector There was however a preview to this appointment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

World Standards It is p(ls~ibl that nothi ng wa ever quite

as imp0l1an t as their fir~ t uecis ion which was to accept nothing less than world standards for Gut1p h ~ thti al The Goldschmidt MacKinnon team was ofT and ru nn ing

John Krag lund wri ting in the Globe (1(1

Mail quotes Nicky as sayi ng My main thnl~ t in formulallng programs was directed at CanadIan pcrklrmers and composers but not to the excl u~ion f great an ists fro m the internat ional scene

NiCK ys vis ion has been fLlI l realized over the years wi th a galaxy of internat ionally renowned mists the production of Illany ra rely heard works and Illore than 25 specially cOllllllis ioneu pieces by Canadian cO lll po~cr~

It i Wlll1 h recall ing that during its liN i l ~eaons the Guelph Spring Festival was almot excl usive ly ~la l[cd and fi nanced by the Univrsity of Guelph lt~ offices were in the Art s (now MacKinnon ) Bui ldi ng and icky douhkd a~ the Fesliva l artist ic director and the niversity director of music In the lal r

capacity he was respl ns ible for all music Oil

CllllpUS One of hi s most important legacIes was

the strengthen ing of Ralph Klud popu lar tuuen t glee club to inc lude stalT anu faculty and frulll this emerged the Univer ity of Guclph Choir which suhsequcntly taged li vc succesIul Europlan tours in ten year~

What comes next fo r Nidy Golu~chmiut No one is taking his reti rement very seriously Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the general lttssuill pt iun is that he still ha) new worlds to conquer After al l hes on l 78

Dr MacKi nnon has the last word For 40 years Nicky has challenged CanadI ans with his enthusiasm energy and creativity His leadcrship is li ke a tire on the top of a mou ntain 0

1 Fire On The Top Of A Mountain By John Hearn Public Relations and Information Services

I f this were England Nich()las Goldschmidt would I ng si nce ha e received his knightshy

hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of which Canada is so proud we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iation rather than with the worldshyclass accolades he ~ () richly deserves

Thetury as far 3 Guelph i ~ concemed begins in 1967 whe n Nicky Go ldschmidt was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Centennia l Commiss illn whi ch presided over Canad as mo~t bri llian tly memorable year of the century By tha t time he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts including fir t music director of the Royal Conservatory of Music Opera School first music director of the Canadian Opera Company managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Francico and New York unive rity music fac u lt i e~

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief however that he li rst met Guelph s then Dean of Well ington College Dr Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both men and wa of great historical portent for the City of Guelph

Between them Niey and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Role of niversit ies a uhural Leaders of ll1cir Communities l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a Toronto anu Montreal wcre already capable of ini tiat ing and sustaining significant performing art~ insti lll tions it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived and those that prov iued homes fo r uni er~it ies might rcLunabl look to these centre of I arning for lucal cultura l in it ia tives

The consequences of that conference have been fel t all across thc nation no t least here in Guelph where in 1968 Dr Goldschmidt wa inv ited to j in the fac ul ty IS

music d irector There was however a preview to this appointment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

World Standards It is p(ls~ibl that nothi ng wa ever quite

as imp0l1an t as their fir~ t uecis ion which was to accept nothing less than world standards for Gut1p h ~ thti al The Goldschmidt MacKinnon team was ofT and ru nn ing

Mail quotes Nicky as sayi ng My main thnl~ t in formulallng programs was directed at CanadIan pcrklrmers and composers but not to the excl u~ion f great an ists fro m the internat ional scene

NiCK ys vis ion has been fLlI l realized over the years wi th a galaxy of internat ionally renowned mists the production of Illany ra rely heard works and Illore than 25 specially cOllllllis ioneu pieces by Canadian cO lll po~cr~

It i Wlll1 h recall ing that during its liN i l ~eaons the Guelph Spring Festival was almot excl usive ly ~la l[cd and fi nanced by the Univrsity of Guelph lt~ offices were in the Art s (now MacKinnon ) Bui ldi ng and icky douhkd a~ the Fesliva l artist ic director and the niversity director of music In the lal r

capacity he was respl ns ible for all music Oil

CllllpUS One of hi s most important legacIes was

the strengthen ing of Ralph Klud popu lar tuuen t glee club to inc lude stalT anu faculty and frulll this emerged the Univer ity of Guclph Choir which suhsequcntly taged li vc succesIul Europlan tours in ten year~

What comes next fo r Nidy Golu~chmiut No one is taking his reti rement very seriously Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the general lttssuill pt iun is that he still ha) new worlds to conquer After al l hes on l 78

Dr MacKi nnon has the last word For 40 years Nicky has challenged CanadI ans with his enthusiasm energy and creativity His leadcrship is li ke a tire on the top of a mou ntain 0

1 Fire On The Top Of A Mountain By John Hearn Public Relations and Information Services

I f this were England Nich()las Goldschmidt would I ng si nce ha e received his knightshy

hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of which Canada is so proud we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iation rather than with the worldshyclass accolades he ~ () richly deserves

Thetury as far 3 Guelph i ~ concemed begins in 1967 whe n Nicky Go ldschmidt was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Centennia l Commiss illn whi ch presided over Canad as mo~t bri llian tly memorable year of the century By tha t time he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts including fir t music director of the Royal Conservatory of Music Opera School first music director of the Canadian Opera Company managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Francico and New York unive rity music fac u lt i e~

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief however that he li rst met Guelph s then Dean of Well ington College Dr Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both men and wa of great historical portent for the City of Guelph

Between them Niey and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Role of niversit ies a uhural Leaders of ll1cir Communities l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a Toronto anu Montreal wcre already capable of ini tiat ing and sustaining significant performing art~ insti lll tions it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived and those that prov iued homes fo r uni er~it ies might rcLunabl look to these centre of I arning for lucal cultura l in it ia tives

The consequences of that conference have been fel t all across thc nation no t least here in Guelph where in 1968 Dr Goldschmidt wa inv ited to j in the fac ul ty IS

music d irector There was however a preview to this appointment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

World Standards It is p(ls~ibl that nothi ng wa ever quite

as imp0l1an t as their fir~ t uecis ion which was to accept nothing less than world standards for Gut1p h ~ thti al The Goldschmidt MacKinnon team was ofT and ru nn ing

John Krag lund wri ting in the Globe (1(1

Mail quotes Nicky as sayi ng My main thnl~ t in formulallng programs was directed at CanadIan pcrklrmers and composers but not to the excl u~ion f great an ists fro m the internat ional scene

NiCK ys vis ion has been fLlI l realized over the years wi th a galaxy of internat ionally renowned mists the production of Illany ra rely heard works and Illore than 25 specially cOllllllis ioneu pieces by Canadian cO lll po~cr~

It i Wlll1 h recall ing that during its liN i l ~eaons the Guelph Spring Festival was almot excl usive ly ~la l[cd and fi nanced by the Univrsity of Guelph lt~ offices were in the Art s (now MacKinnon ) Bui ldi ng and icky douhkd a~ the Fesliva l artist ic director and the niversity director of music In the lal r

capacity he was respl ns ible for all music Oil

CllllpUS One of hi s most important legacIes was

the strengthen ing of Ralph Klud popu lar tuuen t glee club to inc lude stalT anu faculty and frulll this emerged the Univer ity of Guclph Choir which suhsequcntly taged li vc succesIul Europlan tours in ten year~

What comes next fo r Nidy Golu~chmiut No one is taking his reti rement very seriously Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the general lttssuill pt iun is that he still ha) new worlds to conquer After al l hes on l 78

Dr MacKi nnon has the last word For 40 years Nicky has challenged CanadI ans with his enthusiasm energy and creativity His leadcrship is li ke a tire on the top of a mou ntain 0

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

1 Fire On The Top Of A Mountain By John Hearn Public Relations and Information Services

I f this were England Nich()las Goldschmidt would I ng si nce ha e received his knightshy

hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of which Canada is so proud we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iation rather than with the worldshyclass accolades he ~ () richly deserves

Thetury as far 3 Guelph i ~ concemed begins in 1967 whe n Nicky Go ldschmidt was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Centennia l Commiss illn whi ch presided over Canad as mo~t bri llian tly memorable year of the century By tha t time he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts including fir t music director of the Royal Conservatory of Music Opera School first music director of the Canadian Opera Company managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Francico and New York unive rity music fac u lt i e~

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief however that he li rst met Guelph s then Dean of Well ington College Dr Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both men and wa of great historical portent for the City of Guelph

Between them Niey and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Role of niversit ies a uhural Leaders of ll1cir Communities l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a Toronto anu Montreal wcre already capable of ini tiat ing and sustaining significant performing art~ insti lll tions it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived and those that prov iued homes fo r uni er~it ies might rcLunabl look to these centre of I arning for lucal cultura l in it ia tives

The consequences of that conference have been fel t all across thc nation no t least here in Guelph where in 1968 Dr Goldschmidt wa inv ited to j in the fac ul ty IS

music d irector There was however a preview to this appointment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

World Standards It is p(ls~ibl that nothi ng wa ever quite

as imp0l1an t as their fir~ t uecis ion which was to accept nothing less than world standards for Gut1p h ~ thti al The Goldschmidt MacKinnon team was ofT and ru nn ing

What comes next fo r Nidy Golu~chmiut No one is taking his reti rement very seriously Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the general lttssuill pt iun is that he still ha) new worlds to conquer After al l hes on l 78

1 Fire On The Top Of A Mountain By John Hearn Public Relations and Information Services

I f this were England Nich()las Goldschmidt would I ng si nce ha e received his knightshy

hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of which Canada is so proud we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iation rather than with the worldshyclass accolades he ~ () richly deserves

Thetury as far 3 Guelph i ~ concemed begins in 1967 whe n Nicky Go ldschmidt was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Centennia l Commiss illn whi ch presided over Canad as mo~t bri llian tly memorable year of the century By tha t time he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts including fir t music director of the Royal Conservatory of Music Opera School first music director of the Canadian Opera Company managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Francico and New York unive rity music fac u lt i e~

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief however that he li rst met Guelph s then Dean of Well ington College Dr Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both men and wa of great historical portent for the City of Guelph

Between them Niey and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Role of niversit ies a uhural Leaders of ll1cir Communities l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a Toronto anu Montreal wcre already capable of ini tiat ing and sustaining significant performing art~ insti lll tions it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived and those that prov iued homes fo r uni er~it ies might rcLunabl look to these centre of I arning for lucal cultura l in it ia tives

The consequences of that conference have been fel t all across thc nation no t least here in Guelph where in 1968 Dr Goldschmidt wa inv ited to j in the fac ul ty IS

music d irector There was however a preview to this appointment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant

One of Nickys Centennial chores was to organize national viollll l iano and vocal competitions Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the country wh n it occurred to Dr Goldschm idt who had becn a personal friend of Guelphs famed Edward Johnson that there couldnt be a better location fo r a nat ional vocal

competition than Gu lph especial ) as a

competi tion cou ld be staged under so distingu i hec a name

The voca l competition wa a great ~ucces~ and when Nicky became Professor Goldschmidt the 1()Iowing year he had no great diflkulty in persuad ing hi uhura l running Ill HC Murdo MacKinnon that an annual (e~t i va l should be launched in the spring

World Standards It is p(ls~ibl that nothi ng wa ever quite

as imp0l1an t as their fir~ t uecis ion which was to accept nothing less than world standards for Gut1p h ~ thti al The Goldschmidt MacKinnon team was ofT and ru nn ing

What comes next fo r Nidy Golu~chmiut No one is taking his reti rement very seriously Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the general lttssuill pt iun is that he still ha) new worlds to conquer After al l hes on l 78

New Bag of Breeding Tricks Todays cattle breeding i ndu ~try i ~ facing a whole new bag of tncks and according to Professor Ted Burnside 59 Departshyment of Animal and Poultry Science proshyducers could soon see a cow turned into a sow - on a reproduc tive basis

Dr Burnside director of the Centre for Genetic Improvement of Livestock at the University noted a great deal of progress has been made in breeding techniques over thc last two decades

And by fine tuning IOdays progeny tests future genetic improvements could see current production rates double With pres shyent readily available techniques sucb as mulshytiple ovu lat ion and embryo transfer he explained tha t a cow could potentially proshyduce as ma ny off pring as a sow normally would in its lifetime

A few of th newer breeding concept have already been in ex istence for a number of years but have only been actively pracshytised more recently We knew how to get cows pregnant art ificia lly in the 40s but it took us unt il thc 60s to apply that techshynology to very efficient progeny testing sysshytems amI today were working very effi shyciently in Canada in this regard he aid

Exceptional Opportunities

Citi ng ex isting breeding oncepts he noted three possibilities that offer excepshytional opportunities to enhancc our current rates of genetic progress These consist of multi ple ovulat ion and embryo tran~fer emshyhryo spli tting and embryo gtexing

He reminded CAAB members that the concepts of multiple ovulation an d ub~eshy

quent embryo transfer have been demun shystrated effectively since the early 70s and are currently avai lable on a commerc ial basis in Canada Its a fai t accompli for expanding the reproductive performance f cows he said

In thi s proces~ the cow is given dnlgs to encourage the release of a number of embryos instead of only one These are re shycovered and then transferred into other reshycipients

Embryo spli tt ing on the other hand has really only Jus t hegun Spli t portions of the embryo are transferred into a separate embryon ic sac and then into two recipients Generally speaking today we can split an embryo into two pieces which wi ll grow shyalthough it s not considered fe asible to go beyond that as a routine That allows us to get the ident ical genetic make-up into two separate an imals he explai ned

And according to Dr Burnside the idea has many exciting possi bilit ies For exshyample one of the embryos could be grown out and progeny-tested wh ile the other re shymained in a froLen state

While the third concept sex ing emshybryos has been avai lable as a technique for some time its not quite with us ye t but should be very soon

The idea was originally deve loped with embryos that were beyond the stage of early transfer into recipients You cou ld draw off part of the embryo and de tennine whether the animal was male or fema le but then transferring the embryo and gelling it to go to teml was very difficul t he gtaid

And wh ile early theoretical work re shygarding all three of these concepts suggests the current rate of progress in generics could be doubled in cattle popu lations Burnside

also warned of risks Involved Possib le drawbac ks include anima l

housi ng emts - which could increa~e

thereby putting pressure on capita l ex shypenses -The danger of selecting the wrong am mals is also enhanced du e to the tocus on a relat ive ly small number of anima ls

As wel l there is danger of gett ing reshycessives which may be carried by a smaller number of animals and the potential rates of inbreeding in the popU lation (due to the use of ICwer animals for the ba~e population) are also Increaed

But despite possible negative factors the director told hi s colleagues he fe lt opshytimistic for the potential of technology to

prov ide new breakth mughs because were all interested in economic succe~s and mak middot ing the farmer lot better 0

Ideal Soy Planting Conditions If the morning is coolon the day you plan to plant soybeans yo u might hetter stay in bed until noon than ru~h to get your seeds in the ground

The latest research by Professor Ed Gamble 52 Department of Crop Scishyence shows tha t so il temperat ure and moisture content of a seed have a large Imshypac t on its vigor Ideall y soys should be pi nted at 25 degre s Celsius and 95 per cent humidity Unfortunately these ideal conditions do not occur too frequent ly when you go to plant the bean~ Dr Gamble said

Ilowever growers can compensate by planting when the seedbed is warmest One of Dr Gambles graduate students has been study ing th effht of the time of day of plant ing as its affects the temperature of the top two to five centimetres of soil

Regtults to date confirm that emergence and yield were both reduced among plants planted in soil below 10 degrees even if the ~cedlots haJ high vigor The closer the soi l is to the ideal temp rature of 25 degrees the belter

If the temperature drops again at night growers should stop planting in ti me to avoid chilling injury to the seed Th is takes place within two to eight hours after planti ng in cool soil Ed Gamble said He estimated there is a two-ho ur lag in the ti me in wh ich the ai r warms and the soi l warms and be shytween the ti me the air cools and the soil cools

He said one way to avoid chill ing injUry is to in rea~e the moisture content of the seed to 16 to 20 per cent but no one has flgured out a way to do th is

The Illoisture ~ontent in the eed can also compensate ror low seed vigor Seed planted at 12 per cent or more moisture give~ better emergence Again however the probshylen is how to maintain seed at a high mois ture leve l or how to raise the moisture leve l of drie r ~eed

He sa id one possibi lity i ~ storing the seed in an insulated stee l storage silo and us ing a blower to ma intain the high moisture without eed spoilage lie said the idea needs testing but one grower has told him its possi ble

Another possibi li ty is ~toring the seed dry and then increasing the moisture level wi thin days of planting For instance reversshying a blower to force damp air into the seed storage arel on a wet day in April might do the trick

Resea rchers know what impact moisture content ca n have on genninat ion and ul timately yie ld but more work is needed to fi nd ways to con tro l moi ~ture

Alumni SeminarWild Blueberries

Good ideas do n t a l way~ bear fruit Graham Gambles 79 knows this as well alt anyone after spend ing two years on a Northern Ontario blueberry project which - well - hasnt borne any at all

For two years Graham has bee n atshytempt ing to prove uncult ivated bl ueberries can he inexpensi ve ly produced in Northern Ontario and shi pped down to the populated markets in sOllthern Ontario tor a profit So far the blueberry plants have produced little to no frui t and Graham has for th mo~t

part learned what no t to do if grow ing blueshyberries as a con mercial vent ure in On ta ri o~

nOl1hland As well he faces an additional problem

at th i ~ poin t Project fun di ng through the now defunct Northern Ontario Rural Deshyvelopment Agreement (NORDA ) ha~ run out and Graham if he still belicves there is promilte 10 the fa lte ri ng project will have to go it alone this year

Gra ham is unwilling at this point to make ltlil y co nclusions ahou t the project unshytil he gives it fu rt her though t but he did tate i ts still got some promise He also noted however that he wouldnt r commend anyshyone try growing bluebernes in Timis kami ng Di~ tr i ct unt il he has another year to test the proj ect

He bega n hi s plans two years ago armed with a previous U n i ver~ity of Guelph study amI a more recent area ~t udy which sugge~tcd there we re po~~ibil it i e s for )rowshying the crop in an ul1cul tivatcJ manner in a rca~ lttl re ady produc ing blueberri es but cleared of th cir urrounJ ing tfee ~ So Graham approached NORDA ll)r funding and began the 20-acre pro ject

The land chosen is remote and well hidden a Few miles from Kirkland Lake In the begi nning it wa comp lete ly covered wi th tree all of the III eventual clelred by hHld with the intent ion of avtng the wood Jnd doing little damage to the land ite ll The trees were remo ed to the lowe t point pmible wuh a l11ulcher and mower later u ~d tll furt her clear the land Thi ~ wa Cllmshypleted in the fall of 19B3

A ponJ w deve loped ncar the plot Illr irrigat iona l usc J ur in g dry times and 10 help prevent (rost Jamage in the sp ri ng In 1984 f nilizcr was pl aced in the project area in a number of app licat ion with no expectation of harves ting a crop until the fll lowing year

In the spring of last year more fen ilizer was app lied and portions of the trial area were irrigltlted to prevent frost damage Fa lshy

16

Still Wild lowing study recommendations Graham irshyrigated the remain ing plots after fin ding 10 per cent of the blueberry buds in place

Evaluati ng this crop at up to $4 per quart he was expecting to harvest J 560 000 crop las t su mmer What he har es ted amounted to a handful of berries and what he discovered was an error in judgment in a number of areas

There were few buds on the blueberry plant s last sprin g He bel ieved two of the main causes to be lack of proper ferti li 7ati on and too- late irri gation for frost Even the buds that did form in the spring did not survi ve to prod uce fru it last sLImmer

This is jus t a demons tra tion projec t he noted addi ng hes ust taki ng a fCw shots in the dark at what shoulJ or should not be done to properl y produce the berries

Wh ile the initia l NORDA project is completed Graham said he will work one more year to make a 0 of his blueherry project lie has plans to hange fert il izer rates and limes as we ll as irrigat ing for fros t as soon a~ the snow ha lert

His plans as we ll are to mow down the fi eld in the fall of 1986 to give the crop a period of rest A bluebe rry crop in Non he rn Ontario wi ll have to prove ihelf before then or he will not cont inue the enture 0

Alumni SeminarWild Blueberries

Good ideas do n t a l way~ bear fruit Graham Gambles 79 knows this as well alt anyone after spend ing two years on a Northern Ontario blueberry project which - well - hasnt borne any at all

For two years Graham has bee n atshytempt ing to prove uncult ivated bl ueberries can he inexpensi ve ly produced in Northern Ontario and shi pped down to the populated markets in sOllthern Ontario tor a profit So far the blueberry plants have produced little to no frui t and Graham has for th mo~t

part learned what no t to do if grow ing blueshyberries as a con mercial vent ure in On ta ri o~

nOl1hland As well he faces an additional problem

at th i ~ poin t Project fun di ng through the now defunct Northern Ontario Rural Deshyvelopment Agreement (NORDA ) ha~ run out and Graham if he still belicves there is promilte 10 the fa lte ri ng project will have to go it alone this year

Gra ham is unwilling at this point to make ltlil y co nclusions ahou t the project unshytil he gives it fu rt her though t but he did tate i ts still got some promise He also noted however that he wouldnt r commend anyshyone try growing bluebernes in Timis kami ng Di~ tr i ct unt il he has another year to test the proj ect

He bega n hi s plans two years ago armed with a previous U n i ver~ity of Guelph study amI a more recent area ~t udy which sugge~tcd there we re po~~ibil it i e s for )rowshying the crop in an ul1cul tivatcJ manner in a rca~ lttl re ady produc ing blueberri es but cleared of th cir urrounJ ing tfee ~ So Graham approached NORDA ll)r funding and began the 20-acre pro ject

The land chosen is remote and well hidden a Few miles from Kirkland Lake In the begi nning it wa comp lete ly covered wi th tree all of the III eventual clelred by hHld with the intent ion of avtng the wood Jnd doing little damage to the land ite ll The trees were remo ed to the lowe t point pmible wuh a l11ulcher and mower later u ~d tll furt her clear the land Thi ~ wa Cllmshypleted in the fall of 19B3

A ponJ w deve loped ncar the plot Illr irrigat iona l usc J ur in g dry times and 10 help prevent (rost Jamage in the sp ri ng In 1984 f nilizcr was pl aced in the project area in a number of app licat ion with no expectation of harves ting a crop until the fll lowing year

In the spring of last year more fen ilizer was app lied and portions of the trial area were irrigltlted to prevent frost damage Fa lshy

16

Still Wild lowing study recommendations Graham irshyrigated the remain ing plots after fin ding 10 per cent of the blueberry buds in place

Evaluati ng this crop at up to $4 per quart he was expecting to harvest J 560 000 crop las t su mmer What he har es ted amounted to a handful of berries and what he discovered was an error in judgment in a number of areas

There were few buds on the blueberry plant s last sprin g He bel ieved two of the main causes to be lack of proper ferti li 7ati on and too- late irri gation for frost Even the buds that did form in the spring did not survi ve to prod uce fru it last sLImmer

This is jus t a demons tra tion projec t he noted addi ng hes ust taki ng a fCw shots in the dark at what shoulJ or should not be done to properl y produce the berries

Wh ile the initia l NORDA project is completed Graham said he will work one more year to make a 0 of his blueherry project lie has plans to hange fert il izer rates and limes as we ll as irrigat ing for fros t as soon a~ the snow ha lert

His plans as we ll are to mow down the fi eld in the fall of 1986 to give the crop a period of rest A bluebe rry crop in Non he rn Ontario wi ll have to prove ihelf before then or he will not cont inue the enture 0

From the Dean

In recent letters I have been pass ing on news of sOllle of the ncwcr and rather spec ifk developments in the College corre~pon shy

dcnce courses six we k sum mcr cou rses our use of mie n cOJJ1pute r~ and so on In look ing back over these lettcr~ I realize thnt I have not recently givc n you Illuch idea of the overall extent or scope of our ac ti vities in FACS Let me do so now for I am sure that pcople mu~t ofte n turn to you for inforn1ashytion about our programs

mere is of course more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aCtivitie~ perhaps in my next

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from month to mo nth sincc the students MSc and PhD proshygrams arc comlneted at various points in the year At the pcak annual enrolment period howeve r we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude ntgt in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Famshyily Studies including the lallcrs Masters and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition

Along with courses the graduate stushydents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1shy[lortan t rese arch problems that generally complement the longer-term faculty reshysearch projeCb

For somc years now tilt College h been res ponsible for two undergraduate deshygree programs One of these the BA Sc degree is associated with the Departments of Con umer Studies and Fam il y Studies Early la-l t~lI l there were about 1060 ~tushydent~ enrollcd in fo ur year~ of this program Even the smallest of the four majors Fdm ily Studies had a very hcalthy average of 40 students in each of thc four year groups or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major

The most heav ily enrolled major this year as in most recent years is Child Studshyies Last lall there were 35 7 st udents in that major closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nutri tion

lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had not elected their special ization

The second undergraduate degree proshygram in the College is the fou r-year honors BComm degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistration l11 is popushylar and competitive program oflers two mashyJors

One of these Hotel and fOod Admi nshyistration is a management program focused on the hospitality indwtry food l odgi ng~

tourim The other imtitutional Foodsershyvi e Managemen t is more special ized aro und the foodservice sector cl11al major incidentally represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped

Lat fall we were ollce agaill at capmity enrolment in the I-Iotel School with slight ly more than 400 BComm students TIlese young people plan careers in the hospitality industry an important and generall y thri vshying sector of the Canad ian economy

All of our degree program uf course

cater to the educational and vocat iona l intershycsts of both men and women TI1is is inevitashyble if not necessary givc n thc way that car er opport unit ies and asp irations fo r equal opponunity have developed over the years

TI1e management program ill the Hotel School fo r example readi ly appeals to both men and women students So too docs the clearly business-oriented major in Conshysumer Studies Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and product manshyagement or alte rnati vely are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markctplaee

Now mo re than e er before both men and wom n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n sershyvic s Some have goals rel ated to professhy~iona l practice as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st Others have interests say in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such sphcres as gerontology or chi ldre ns services

Wc arc proud that our teachi ng proshygrams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter In the meantime plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend 8fl lun 20-22 0

Tht LJn ivenity the Cui lege and iL fi ve dcrartment~ arc current ly engaged in a mashyJor planning excrl i ~c In all organ izations plann ing i ~ of couf~ a conti nuing preUlshyl upatllln incc cvery dcc i ~ i on is in a en~e part of ~(lme overall plan if onl y impli cit ly But tlie Univcr ity Aims and Objectives report adopted by Senate late in 1985 provides a major impetus for the current longmiddot range planning (xcrc i e In th i ~ j l tOD hrief communicatton I propose to givc you om( insight into the idea and quet iun~

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

From the Dean

In recent letters I have been pass ing on news of sOllle of the ncwcr and rather spec ifk developments in the College corre~pon shy

dcnce courses six we k sum mcr cou rses our use of mie n cOJJ1pute r~ and so on In look ing back over these lettcr~ I realize thnt I have not recently givc n you Illuch idea of the overall extent or scope of our ac ti vities in FACS Let me do so now for I am sure that pcople mu~t ofte n turn to you for inforn1ashytion about our programs

mere is of course more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aCtivitie~ perhaps in my next

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from month to mo nth sincc the students MSc and PhD proshygrams arc comlneted at various points in the year At the pcak annual enrolment period howeve r we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude ntgt in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Famshyily Studies including the lallcrs Masters and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition

Along with courses the graduate stushydents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1shy[lortan t rese arch problems that generally complement the longer-term faculty reshysearch projeCb

For somc years now tilt College h been res ponsible for two undergraduate deshygree programs One of these the BA Sc degree is associated with the Departments of Con umer Studies and Fam il y Studies Early la-l t~lI l there were about 1060 ~tushydent~ enrollcd in fo ur year~ of this program Even the smallest of the four majors Fdm ily Studies had a very hcalthy average of 40 students in each of thc four year groups or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major

The most heav ily enrolled major this year as in most recent years is Child Studshyies Last lall there were 35 7 st udents in that major closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nutri tion

lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had not elected their special ization

The second undergraduate degree proshygram in the College is the fou r-year honors BComm degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistration l11 is popushylar and competitive program oflers two mashyJors

One of these Hotel and fOod Admi nshyistration is a management program focused on the hospitality indwtry food l odgi ng~

tourim The other imtitutional Foodsershyvi e Managemen t is more special ized aro und the foodservice sector cl11al major incidentally represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped

Lat fall we were ollce agaill at capmity enrolment in the I-Iotel School with slight ly more than 400 BComm students TIlese young people plan careers in the hospitality industry an important and generall y thri vshying sector of the Canad ian economy

All of our degree program uf course

cater to the educational and vocat iona l intershycsts of both men and women TI1is is inevitashyble if not necessary givc n thc way that car er opport unit ies and asp irations fo r equal opponunity have developed over the years

TI1e management program ill the Hotel School fo r example readi ly appeals to both men and women students So too docs the clearly business-oriented major in Conshysumer Studies Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and product manshyagement or alte rnati vely are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markctplaee

Now mo re than e er before both men and wom n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n sershyvic s Some have goals rel ated to professhy~iona l practice as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st Others have interests say in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such sphcres as gerontology or chi ldre ns services

Wc arc proud that our teachi ng proshygrams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter In the meantime plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend 8fl lun 20-22 0

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

From the Dean

In recent letters I have been pass ing on news of sOllle of the ncwcr and rather spec ifk developments in the College corre~pon shy

dcnce courses six we k sum mcr cou rses our use of mie n cOJJ1pute r~ and so on In look ing back over these lettcr~ I realize thnt I have not recently givc n you Illuch idea of the overall extent or scope of our ac ti vities in FACS Let me do so now for I am sure that pcople mu~t ofte n turn to you for inforn1ashytion about our programs

mere is of course more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aCtivitie~ perhaps in my next

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from month to mo nth sincc the students MSc and PhD proshygrams arc comlneted at various points in the year At the pcak annual enrolment period howeve r we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude ntgt in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Famshyily Studies including the lallcrs Masters and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition

Along with courses the graduate stushydents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1shy[lortan t rese arch problems that generally complement the longer-term faculty reshysearch projeCb

For somc years now tilt College h been res ponsible for two undergraduate deshygree programs One of these the BA Sc degree is associated with the Departments of Con umer Studies and Fam il y Studies Early la-l t~lI l there were about 1060 ~tushydent~ enrollcd in fo ur year~ of this program Even the smallest of the four majors Fdm ily Studies had a very hcalthy average of 40 students in each of thc four year groups or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major

The most heav ily enrolled major this year as in most recent years is Child Studshyies Last lall there were 35 7 st udents in that major closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nutri tion

lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had not elected their special ization

The second undergraduate degree proshygram in the College is the fou r-year honors BComm degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistration l11 is popushylar and competitive program oflers two mashyJors

One of these Hotel and fOod Admi nshyistration is a management program focused on the hospitality indwtry food l odgi ng~

tourim The other imtitutional Foodsershyvi e Managemen t is more special ized aro und the foodservice sector cl11al major incidentally represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped

Lat fall we were ollce agaill at capmity enrolment in the I-Iotel School with slight ly more than 400 BComm students TIlese young people plan careers in the hospitality industry an important and generall y thri vshying sector of the Canad ian economy

All of our degree program uf course

cater to the educational and vocat iona l intershycsts of both men and women TI1is is inevitashyble if not necessary givc n thc way that car er opport unit ies and asp irations fo r equal opponunity have developed over the years

TI1e management program ill the Hotel School fo r example readi ly appeals to both men and women students So too docs the clearly business-oriented major in Conshysumer Studies Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and product manshyagement or alte rnati vely are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markctplaee

Now mo re than e er before both men and wom n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n sershyvic s Some have goals rel ated to professhy~iona l practice as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st Others have interests say in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such sphcres as gerontology or chi ldre ns services

Wc arc proud that our teachi ng proshygrams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter In the meantime plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend 8fl lun 20-22 0

The College Seeks Alumni Reactions

Tht LJn ivenity the Cui lege and iL fi ve dcrartment~ arc current ly engaged in a mashyJor planning excrl i ~c In all organ izations plann ing i ~ of couf~ a conti nuing preUlshyl upatllln incc cvery dcc i ~ i on is in a en~e part of ~(lme overall plan if onl y impli cit ly But tlie Univcr ity Aims and Objectives report adopted by Senate late in 1985 provides a major impetus for the current longmiddot range planning (xcrc i e In th i ~ j l tOD hrief communicatton I propose to givc you om( insight into the idea and quet iun~

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

24

Econo mi cs in collaboration with Agri shycultural Economics and Busi ness Geograshyphy puts emphasis on rural and agricultu ral geography land planning and biomiddot physical geography which direct ly re lates to the Unishyvwitys mission Polit ical Studies spccialshyize~ in pub lic ad min ist ration and public poli cy and i ~ respons ihle for a un iq ue and flouri hing progra m in internatio rwl deshyve lopment

In Psychology spec i alt ie~ re late 10 apshyplied and child p~yehlliogy whi ch prov ide links wit h Fam ily Studies and with indusmiddot tri al and organ izati onal psychology Rura l tuJics and ~ocia l change art two significant strand in Sociology and Anthropolog y Ead l department plans to strengthc n and extend ib uniquc areas uf mpha i ~

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

mere is of course more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aCtivitie~ perhaps in my next

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from month to mo nth sincc the students MSc and PhD proshygrams arc comlneted at various points in the year At the pcak annual enrolment period howeve r we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude ntgt in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Famshyily Studies including the lallcrs Masters and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition

Along with courses the graduate stushydents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1shy[lortan t rese arch problems that generally complement the longer-term faculty reshysearch projeCb

For somc years now tilt College h been res ponsible for two undergraduate deshygree programs One of these the BA Sc degree is associated with the Departments of Con umer Studies and Fam il y Studies Early la-l t~lI l there were about 1060 ~tushydent~ enrollcd in fo ur year~ of this program Even the smallest of the four majors Fdm ily Studies had a very hcalthy average of 40 students in each of thc four year groups or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major

The most heav ily enrolled major this year as in most recent years is Child Studshyies Last lall there were 35 7 st udents in that major closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nutri tion

lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had not elected their special ization

The second undergraduate degree proshygram in the College is the fou r-year honors BComm degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistration l11 is popushylar and competitive program oflers two mashyJors

One of these Hotel and fOod Admi nshyistration is a management program focused on the hospitality indwtry food l odgi ng~

tourim The other imtitutional Foodsershyvi e Managemen t is more special ized aro und the foodservice sector cl11al major incidentally represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped

Lat fall we were ollce agaill at capmity enrolment in the I-Iotel School with slight ly more than 400 BComm students TIlese young people plan careers in the hospitality industry an important and generall y thri vshying sector of the Canad ian economy

All of our degree program uf course

cater to the educational and vocat iona l intershycsts of both men and women TI1is is inevitashyble if not necessary givc n thc way that car er opport unit ies and asp irations fo r equal opponunity have developed over the years

TI1e management program ill the Hotel School fo r example readi ly appeals to both men and women students So too docs the clearly business-oriented major in Conshysumer Studies Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and product manshyagement or alte rnati vely are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markctplaee

Now mo re than e er before both men and wom n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n sershyvic s Some have goals rel ated to professhy~iona l practice as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st Others have interests say in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such sphcres as gerontology or chi ldre ns services

Wc arc proud that our teachi ng proshygrams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter In the meantime plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend 8fl lun 20-22 0

Tht LJn ivenity the Cui lege and iL fi ve dcrartment~ arc current ly engaged in a mashyJor planning excrl i ~c In all organ izations plann ing i ~ of couf~ a conti nuing preUlshyl upatllln incc cvery dcc i ~ i on is in a en~e part of ~(lme overall plan if onl y impli cit ly But tlie Univcr ity Aims and Objectives report adopted by Senate late in 1985 provides a major impetus for the current longmiddot range planning (xcrc i e In th i ~ j l tOD hrief communicatton I propose to givc you om( insight into the idea and quet iun~

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

From the Dean

In recent letters I have been pass ing on news of sOllle of the ncwcr and rather spec ifk developments in the College corre~pon shy

dcnce courses six we k sum mcr cou rses our use of mie n cOJJ1pute r~ and so on In look ing back over these lettcr~ I realize thnt I have not recently givc n you Illuch idea of the overall extent or scope of our ac ti vities in FACS Let me do so now for I am sure that pcople mu~t ofte n turn to you for inforn1ashytion about our programs

mere is of course more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aCtivitie~ perhaps in my next

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from month to mo nth sincc the students MSc and PhD proshygrams arc comlneted at various points in the year At the pcak annual enrolment period howeve r we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude ntgt in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Famshyily Studies including the lallcrs Masters and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition

Along with courses the graduate stushydents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1shy[lortan t rese arch problems that generally complement the longer-term faculty reshysearch projeCb

For somc years now tilt College h been res ponsible for two undergraduate deshygree programs One of these the BA Sc degree is associated with the Departments of Con umer Studies and Fam il y Studies Early la-l t~lI l there were about 1060 ~tushydent~ enrollcd in fo ur year~ of this program Even the smallest of the four majors Fdm ily Studies had a very hcalthy average of 40 students in each of thc four year groups or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major

The most heav ily enrolled major this year as in most recent years is Child Studshyies Last lall there were 35 7 st udents in that major closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nutri tion

lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had not elected their special ization

The second undergraduate degree proshygram in the College is the fou r-year honors BComm degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistration l11 is popushylar and competitive program oflers two mashyJors

One of these Hotel and fOod Admi nshyistration is a management program focused on the hospitality indwtry food l odgi ng~

tourim The other imtitutional Foodsershyvi e Managemen t is more special ized aro und the foodservice sector cl11al major incidentally represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped

Lat fall we were ollce agaill at capmity enrolment in the I-Iotel School with slight ly more than 400 BComm students TIlese young people plan careers in the hospitality industry an important and generall y thri vshying sector of the Canad ian economy

All of our degree program uf course

cater to the educational and vocat iona l intershycsts of both men and women TI1is is inevitashyble if not necessary givc n thc way that car er opport unit ies and asp irations fo r equal opponunity have developed over the years

TI1e management program ill the Hotel School fo r example readi ly appeals to both men and women students So too docs the clearly business-oriented major in Conshysumer Studies Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and product manshyagement or alte rnati vely are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markctplaee

Now mo re than e er before both men and wom n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n sershyvic s Some have goals rel ated to professhy~iona l practice as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st Others have interests say in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such sphcres as gerontology or chi ldre ns services

Wc arc proud that our teachi ng proshygrams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter In the meantime plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend 8fl lun 20-22 0

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

From the Dean

In recent letters I have been pass ing on news of sOllle of the ncwcr and rather spec ifk developments in the College corre~pon shy

dcnce courses six we k sum mcr cou rses our use of mie n cOJJ1pute r~ and so on In look ing back over these lettcr~ I realize thnt I have not recently givc n you Illuch idea of the overall extent or scope of our ac ti vities in FACS Let me do so now for I am sure that pcople mu~t ofte n turn to you for inforn1ashytion about our programs

mere is of course more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aCtivitie~ perhaps in my next

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from month to mo nth sincc the students MSc and PhD proshygrams arc comlneted at various points in the year At the pcak annual enrolment period howeve r we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude ntgt in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Famshyily Studies including the lallcrs Masters and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition

Along with courses the graduate stushydents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1shy[lortan t rese arch problems that generally complement the longer-term faculty reshysearch projeCb

For somc years now tilt College h been res ponsible for two undergraduate deshygree programs One of these the BA Sc degree is associated with the Departments of Con umer Studies and Fam il y Studies Early la-l t~lI l there were about 1060 ~tushydent~ enrollcd in fo ur year~ of this program Even the smallest of the four majors Fdm ily Studies had a very hcalthy average of 40 students in each of thc four year groups or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major

The most heav ily enrolled major this year as in most recent years is Child Studshyies Last lall there were 35 7 st udents in that major closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nutri tion

lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had not elected their special ization

The second undergraduate degree proshygram in the College is the fou r-year honors BComm degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistration l11 is popushylar and competitive program oflers two mashyJors

One of these Hotel and fOod Admi nshyistration is a management program focused on the hospitality indwtry food l odgi ng~

tourim The other imtitutional Foodsershyvi e Managemen t is more special ized aro und the foodservice sector cl11al major incidentally represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped

Lat fall we were ollce agaill at capmity enrolment in the I-Iotel School with slight ly more than 400 BComm students TIlese young people plan careers in the hospitality industry an important and generall y thri vshying sector of the Canad ian economy

All of our degree program uf course

cater to the educational and vocat iona l intershycsts of both men and women TI1is is inevitashyble if not necessary givc n thc way that car er opport unit ies and asp irations fo r equal opponunity have developed over the years

TI1e management program ill the Hotel School fo r example readi ly appeals to both men and women students So too docs the clearly business-oriented major in Conshysumer Studies Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and product manshyagement or alte rnati vely are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markctplaee

Now mo re than e er before both men and wom n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n sershyvic s Some have goals rel ated to professhy~iona l practice as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st Others have interests say in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such sphcres as gerontology or chi ldre ns services

Wc arc proud that our teachi ng proshygrams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter In the meantime plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend 8fl lun 20-22 0

Tht LJn ivenity the Cui lege and iL fi ve dcrartment~ arc current ly engaged in a mashyJor planning excrl i ~c In all organ izations plann ing i ~ of couf~ a conti nuing preUlshyl upatllln incc cvery dcc i ~ i on is in a en~e part of ~(lme overall plan if onl y impli cit ly But tlie Univcr ity Aims and Objectives report adopted by Senate late in 1985 provides a major impetus for the current longmiddot range planning (xcrc i e In th i ~ j l tOD hrief communicatton I propose to givc you om( insight into the idea and quet iun~

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

Tht LJn ivenity the Cui lege and iL fi ve dcrartment~ arc current ly engaged in a mashyJor planning excrl i ~c In all organ izations plann ing i ~ of couf~ a conti nuing preUlshyl upatllln incc cvery dcc i ~ i on is in a en~e part of ~(lme overall plan if onl y impli cit ly But tlie Univcr ity Aims and Objectives report adopted by Senate late in 1985 provides a major impetus for the current longmiddot range planning (xcrc i e In th i ~ j l tOD hrief communicatton I propose to givc you om( insight into the idea and quet iun~

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Econo mi cs in collaboration with Agri shycultural Economics and Busi ness Geograshyphy puts emphasis on rural and agricultu ral geography land planning and biomiddot physical geography which direct ly re lates to the Unishyvwitys mission Polit ical Studies spccialshyize~ in pub lic ad min ist ration and public poli cy and i ~ respons ihle for a un iq ue and flouri hing progra m in internatio rwl deshyve lopment

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Tht LJn ivenity the Cui lege and iL fi ve dcrartment~ arc current ly engaged in a mashyJor planning excrl i ~c In all organ izations plann ing i ~ of couf~ a conti nuing preUlshyl upatllln incc cvery dcc i ~ i on is in a en~e part of ~(lme overall plan if onl y impli cit ly But tlie Univcr ity Aims and Objectives report adopted by Senate late in 1985 provides a major impetus for the current longmiddot range planning (xcrc i e In th i ~ j l tOD hrief communicatton I propose to givc you om( insight into the idea and quet iun~

that concern w- We wi ll app rec iate recei vshying comment and reactions 011 any or all quet iol1 being raicd

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

24

Econo mi cs in collaboration with Agri shycultural Economics and Busi ness Geograshyphy puts emphasis on rural and agricultu ral geography land planning and biomiddot physical geography which direct ly re lates to the Unishyvwitys mission Polit ical Studies spccialshyize~ in pub lic ad min ist ration and public poli cy and i ~ respons ihle for a un iq ue and flouri hing progra m in internatio rwl deshyve lopment

In Psychology spec i alt ie~ re late 10 apshyplied and child p~yehlliogy whi ch prov ide links wit h Fam ily Studies and with indusmiddot tri al and organ izati onal psychology Rura l tuJics and ~ocia l change art two significant strand in Sociology and Anthropolog y Ead l department plans to strengthc n and extend ib uniquc areas uf mpha i ~

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

During the 1960~ the depart ments in the Co ll ege of Socia l Sc ience tailed off as rml y typical genera l di(i pline units Whi le th c Un i ver~lly had its un ique historical background the Collcge of Social Science departme nb did not attempt to differe ntiate thcmc lves in th i~ connection or in other way

Since the early 1970s ] 11 five departshyments have develuped and matured Reshysearc h ac tivi ty ha$ seen a very strong growth ratc in the recent decade and due tu the growing reputa tions of the fac ulty enrol middot ment at the graduate level has increased co nshy~ide ra b ly in recent years

ithout ignoring the core clements of its disc ip li ne each department has act ive ly pur ued a unique identity in te rill s of speshycial i7ation and middotcmphasi~ A few examples may be usefu l Economics has initi ated a very ~ uccesfu l program in Ma nagement

Wh ile there arc a number of ~pcc ific

pl ans re lated to graduate programs in shycluding some proposals and tdea fur spcmiddot c i ~l i 7td PhD programs - thiS brief acshycount will riJ be questions only ahout the Coll egc ~ ll ndergraduate program

The foll owing idea are advlIlced to pivc the College prugnlm~ a greatL r un ishyquene~s tll mect ge neral learning ubjecshyttve tl) improve the qua lity or the overall cdueationa l experience to ma inta in strong s t a nda rd~ uf academic performance and to attra(t more cummitted and betler qua lified Sludent5

l The B A progra m which our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Physshyiell l Science ha a rlther weak iJ nd il l-deshylined core Wou ld it he u ~tful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l ng common core to be completed by all BA ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~)

One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ five in humanities five in ~oc i a l sc icnce two in se ienccs and two in mathemat ic and c()mput ing Such a core would hel p in the achievement of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth litershyacy numeracy and ethica l and aest hct ic maturity

2 The three-ycar general B A program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of study object ives and it att racts quite a few ~tudcn t s who are not academica lly comshymitted Would it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the threemiddotyear program or permiddot haps even phase it out complete ly

3 The fourmiddotyear Honors program is academshyically strong but has fa r fewer students than the th ree-year program One of the re a~ons may rela te to the 70 per cent requirement in the disciplinc of specialization Since the B A requ ire ments for contin ua tion of stud y are now the sa me as for the BSe would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement

4 The semester system is quite demanding in terms of number of courses and it probashybl y docs not permit enough time for indeshypendent study and reflection Would it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years

5 Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the BA as their desigshynatcd degree The main point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specialization taken by a ocial science grad uate The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such ltIS

B Soc Sci ) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B A students The questions arc how widesprLad is th is fee ling of un hapmiddot piness with the BA de~igmH ion and are there other solutions to th is problem

6 For more tha n ten years th e London Semiddot me~rcr has been a successful component of rhe BA program Every winter some 30 ~tude nt and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf the departments in humanities or soshycial sciences) spend the semester in London involved in courses geared to that locatiolt There are plans 10 increagte such offerings (e g in Nice and Strassbourg) and abu to extend the work-and-l udy-ahroad aspect of the International Deve lopment Program Would such an expansion be useful a a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the UniversityS profile )

7 Every uni vcr~ ity has a problem with stu shyde nts droppi ng out hefore lompktion of a degrce How (a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendency1 Would an improvcd counsc lling and advishysory profram be lI se ful in ident ifying probmiddot Icms h ic h lead 10 drop out )

1) Mot of (lur universities are organ icd alung departmentmiddotd isei pline lines and thi ~

ha genera lly created problelm in mount ing inter-diSc iplinary course~ Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences or between hu man it ies and physical sciences It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of faculty from these di fferent areas Would there be any merit in such an initiative

Please take the time and effo rt to respond to these qllc~t i ons and ideas If any of you would li ke a draft copy of the strategic plan for the College of Social Science we woul d he happy to send you one Your input would certainly be appreciated

Fairy Tales Can Come True

By Tom Carey Department of Computshying and Information Science

Once upon a time therc were sevr n dwarf~ and a fa ir maiden named Snow Wh itc

The old fairy talc has yet another comshyputer vers ion in the Depart ment ofCompulshying and In format ion Science TI1C Departshymen t replaced two Vax computers with a set of six microVnx 2 mach ines whi ch looked like dwarfs by compari son The two Vax co mputers were called simply Vax I and Vax II unl ike some other Vax s i te~ where simi lar machines were dubbed KimNovax ErnieKnvax ctc Wit h six microVax dwarfs to name system mlJ1ager Rick MacKlem (79) borrowed from the fairy tale tradit ion to add color to the departme nt s computer roOIJl

Unix - From backroom to boardroom

With the latest equ ipment changes the Uni x operati ng ~y$tell1 becomes the main shystay 01 system soft ware within the departshyment When CIS hegun using Unix in 1977 the Bell Labs system was used almost exshyclusively at academic sites Now Unix is a major commercial prodUct used widely in ma mframe com puting an d ~pecial markets like off ice s ystem and computer- aided des ign

Unix began at Be ll Labs in 1969 as a personal projec t of software deve lopers who designcd the system to meet the ir own nced ~ Later Be ll Labs began licensing Unix to academic use r~ for a nomina l fee and Unix very quick ly earned a rep ut ation Students found Uni x wi th its conceptual simplicity and elegancc a joy to u ~e once they overcame the cryptic user interface

Un ix appeared at Gue lph in 1977 runshyning on the departments PDP 1134 At that time there was li ll ie commerci al support and learning occurred by word of mouth in the ten11 inal room (usually late at night)

Un ix achieved CUll statu on campus vcry quickly Remember the Vermont li shycense plate hanging in Debbie Sta(eys ot fi cc which gave the state slogan new mcan-

The Computer Revolution Has Just Begun

T hat was the message Nobel laureate Ken shyneth Wilson of Cornell Un ivers ity brought to about 250 people attending a lecture at the University of Guelph

Dr Wi lson a physics professor who won the Nobel Prize in 1982 fo r his research on critic1 phenomena and phase trans ishytions cut thro ugh the techn ic1 gobshybledegook to outline the impact of ~ upershy

computers on everyday life The definiti on of a ~upe rcomputer

changes with every advance in techno logy he said At any parllcula r time supershycompute rs arc s imply the most powerfu l class of computer commercially available for scient i fic and engineering computations

BLlt whi le supercomputers tend to be viewed as expensive toys Jor theoretical scishyentist and researchers the push to develop them will come from outside the ivory tower - in private i ndu~try

ing Unix-Live Free or Die The veterans of that early Unix exposure went on to use the system for a variety of companies and labs Mark Ashworth 80 at Bell Northshyern Research Chris Retteralh 8 J Eddy Chik 80 Jim Peters 80 and others at

Human Comput ing Resources and Dave Legg 80 at the Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine to name just a few

The cryptic user interface of Un ix has also become legendary Professor Tony Salshyvadori C1S clai ms that Un ix caused hi s daughter to swear off computers forever It sce ms she used to help Dad punch in his bird migration data and decided one day to use the system for a high school essay After long and laborious hours of typing she hit the q kcy to terminate instead of w As every Unix ini tiate knows her file disapshypeared forever (in those days nobody did backups for you)

Now Un ix is a respected commerc ial product and a closely guarded trademark The long-hai red guitar-strumming Unix hacks of yesterday have been joined by (or become) the w rporate marketing managers of today

OVCs Veterinary Medica l In formashytion Managcment System is being moved to Uni x and Un ix has even infi ltrated the Uni shyversitys IBM mainframes- the highly sucshycss ful CoS y con ferencing system was

developed in Unix by staff of the Inst itute of Computer Sc ience (now Comput ing and Communications Services) 0

Take any indust f)l and poke around in it he said and you ll fi nd a use for supershycomputers

Car production is one example where the need is already being discussed he said

People in the automobile industry te ll me it s not unreasonahle that ometime in the 19905 youll go into a car dealers showshyroom and be shown electronically what kind of models might be possible And youlI s it down wi th the sa lesman and together you ll design your car-and maybe it ll even work when youre fi nished

Another industry already desperately in need of supercomputers is ir travel he said Ai rlines cou ld usc them for red irecting traffi c when an airport is fogged in

That done now by computer but inshystead or tak ing half an hour to an hour to decide which airpl anes ~hould be re- routed the job could be done in one or two min utes

He said supercomputers will have an impart on our II1te llectua l and soc ial life that can only he compared to one other period of hiswry - th e Renai~sance whic h saw the development of pri nt ing during thc 15th century 0
