Meet Chuck & PaulThis is the story ofCharles A. Gilmore, Jr.and Paul James—
successful businessmen, WorldWar II veterans, dog lovers, andphilanthropists whose thought-ful planning has enhanced theUniversity of PennsylvaniaSchool of Veterinary Medicineand the Matthew J. RyanVeterinary Hospital.
“That dog was the best therapy!”It all started in Chicago after World War
II, when Chuck and Paul launched a busi-ness partnership that was to span morethan 50 years. Chuck had served with theArmy in both Europe and Japan (he waslater recalled for active duty during theKorean War). Paul, a Navy veteran, washaving a difficult time recovering from thetraumas of surviving the attack on PearlHarbor. He recalls, “One day after the war,this little stray dog followed me home fromthe grocery store. That dog was the besttherapy! I’ve had dogs ever since.”
Relocating to Philadelphia in 1950, theyestablished Center City’s premier residen-tial real estate firm. Later, they founded twocorporations together: a real estate broker-age and development company and a chainof small parking lots in west Center City.“We could park anywhere from BroadStreet to the Schuykill River,” laughs Paul.
“They’ve always treated us so well.”Along the way, their canine friends have
enriched their lives. They have always kept atleast one dog, and sometimes as many as 13,
including 12 pups—twice! After a friendpassed away, they adopted Sprocket (pic-tured). Chuck and Paul have always reliedon the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospitalfor the very best in companion animal care.“We want to show how much we appreciatethe wonderful care we’ve received over theyears. They’ve always treated us so well.”
In addition to their annual gifts, Chuckand Paul have thought ahead, too: theSchool and Hospital are named asbeneficiaries of an IRA and other estateplans. Chuck and Paul learned thatdesignating Penn as beneficiary of a retire-ment plan can save both estate tax and
income tax, so they can leave more to heirsand the charities they support.
“We wanted to start giving now.”Chuck and Paul first learned about chari-
table gift annuities from a friend who set oneup for the Veterinary School. They like thehigh rates and tax-free income they receivefrom their gift annuities. In addition, thedeductions for their charitable gifts reducedtheir income taxes considerably. Best of all,Chuck and Paul know their gift annuitieswill benefit the School and the Ryan Hospi-tal. With their gift annuities, Chuck and Paulhave begun to create their legacy here.

Strategy Without Deep Pockets:Enhancing Institutional Capacity from Within
The Problem: Increase the capacity for strategicinnovation in a large, decentralized public researchuniversity with limited financial means.
The Solution: Engage faculty, staff, and administratorsin a mutual-interest approach to strategic innovation,working across organizational and hierarchicalboundaries to achieve common purposes.
Setting forth and pursuing a strategic vision for Michigan State
University (MSU) is no small task. A research university with 14 degree-
granting colleges, offering more than 200 programs of learning to more
than 45,000 undergraduate and graduate students, Michigan State epit-
omizes a complex, decentralized organization. It is also a land-grant
university and a member of the Association of American Universities,
committed not only to maintaining a balance between the missions of
research, education, and outreach, but also to achieving international dis-
tinction in each. The very extent of its reach can lead one to regard this
University’s strengths and accomplishments in terms of its individual parts.
When Peter McPherson became President of Michigan State in
1993, he set about to assure that the University would become more
than the sum of those parts. As an outsider to higher education, he per-
ceived that universities needed to change in order to become more
effective and efficient. One of his first actions was to engage the MSU
community in a broad, deliberative process of defining the institution’s
purposes and direction. The result was two public statements: MSU’s
Guiding Principles, followed later by the MSU Promise. Together these

PERSPECTIVESThe Knight Higher Education CollaborativeSupported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
gravitate toward a certain limited set of majors, effec-tively distorting demand on the curriculum and poten-tially diverting resources from the departments athletestend to avoid. Within these particular disputes are morefundamental and unresolved questions: Exactly whatrole does intercollegiate athletics have on college cam-puses and in the individual athlete’s overall education? Inan age of increasing competitiveness and specialization,to what extent is participation in a team sport still anextra-curricular activity; and to what extent has itbecome the central organizing element of the student-athlete’s college years? What is the price athleticsexacts—in terms of institutional expenditures, or theclaims made on students’ own educational priorities?And even more particularly: Have the recruitment andadmissions practices of selective colleges and universitiesconferred too strong an advantage on students who arerecruited to participate in team sports? Through theyears, these questions have been asked in a variety ofcontexts; in 2001 the publication of The Game of Life:College Sports and Educational Values, by JamesShulman and William Bowen, helped cast them intosharper relief.
This Policy Perspectives explores how competitiveintercollegiate athletics affects both admission prac-
tices and the nature of academic community at private col-leges and universities that practice selective admissions.It is based on a roundtable that took place in February2003, organized by J. Douglas Toma of the University ofGeorgia’s Institute of Higher Education. Our roundtableincluded administrators, professors, student-athletes,athletics directors, directors of intercollegiate athleticsconferences, and others with experience and insight inconsidering the role of athletics in campus communities.While the debate about that role is not new, the issue ofaccess to the most selective baccalaureate institutionshas taken on a particular prominence in currentconversations.
When Values Matter
Intercollegiate athleticsis a lens that brings
into remarkable focusthe relationship of insti-tutional values to dailypractices. More thanmost issues, it has theeffect of casting com-plex and ambiguous dis-putes into sharp relief.For more than a centurynow, spectator sportshave provided collegesand universities with ahost of symbols of com-mon institutional iden-tity and ambition, draw-ing together otherwise
disparate and specialized populations. Many of athletics’most spirited advocates consider the lessons of citizenshipand socialization derived from the playing field to be noless important than those of the classroom. In the bestsense, participation in collegiate sports becomes a hall-mark of the well-rounded student—serious, disciplined,competitive, yet equally exemplifying the virtues ofgood sportsmanship, team camaraderie, and institutionalloyalty. In the pantheon of collegiate aspirations, athleticachievement continues to hold a special place—both forindividuals and for institutions.
But as sports have become more intense in everylevel of society, higher education institutions of all kindshave confronted the question of how well practice in factfollows precept. Within the last three years, the perennialdebate about the role of athletics, particularly in highlyselective institutions, has become more acute. The ques-tions in these settings center on the academic qualifica-tions and performance of recruited athletes relative totheir peers, as well as the degree to which student-athletes

Behavioral Developmentin Companion DogsBehavioral problems are the largest single cause ofcanine abandonment, relinquishment to shelters,and premature euthanasia in the U.S. The CIAS isinvestigating behavioral problems in pet dogs andhow early experience may contribute to theirdevelopment.
Health and Behavior Follow-Up in 9/11 Search-and-Rescue DogsIn collaboration with other Penn faculty andresearchers, the CIAS is conducting a study of thelong-term behavioral effects of deployment at theWorld Trade Center and Pentagon sites on apopulation of search-and-rescue dogs.
Measuring Behavior in DogsThe CIAS has developed a questionnaire (C-BARQ)that enables dog owners and handlers to accuratelyevaluate the temperament and behavior of theirdogs in a standardized way. The C-BARQ has beenadopted as a routine behavioral screen by severalnational guide and service dog organizations, as wellas attracting international interest from similaragencies around the world. The CIAS is also workingto make the C-BARQ available on-line for thebenefit of individual dog owners.
Understanding Urban Animal CrueltyThe Center seeks to understand the connectionbetween animal abuse and socioeconomic,demographic, and contextual factors. Links betweenanimal abuse and other forms of criminal behaviorare also explored.
Animal-Assisted Interventions and Mental HealthSocial workers, psychologists, and other healthcareprofessionals now incorporate animal-assistedtherapy as a treatment in many healthcare andeducational settings. Today, animals are found inhospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, long-termcare facilities, and other sites. These animals greatlycontribute to the physical, social, and psychologicalwell-being of people. The Center explores thepractice of animal-assisted interventions in treatingpeople with mental-health diagnoses. In 2004, theCIAS co-sponsored a major interdisciplinaryconference, “Can Animals Help Humans Heal?Animal-Assisted Interventions in Adolescent MentalHealth,” which addressed the therapeutic effects ofanimals on at-risk youth and those with variousmental-health diagnoses.

The Penn Dental Center at Mayfair has officiallyopened its doors. This new office is the fourth facility in
the growing Penn Dental Care Network, and its openingmeans that the Penn Faculty Practice can now serve res-idents of Northeast Philadelphia right in their own
neighborhood.
The new Dental Center is part of a larger health carecomplex that includes the Mayfair Family Practice of the University
of Pennsylvania Health System’s Clinical Care Associates network. The medical and dentalpractices will share an entrance and spacious reception room that includes a children’s playarea. An open house will be held on Saturday, October 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to allowvisitors to tour the facility.
The Penn Dental Center at Mayfair is headed by Dr. Thomas W. Therrien. Dr.Therrien, who practices general dentistry, has been a member of the Penn Faculty Practicesince 1990. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dr.Therrien is enthusiastic about the new facility and notes that he is “looking forward to see-ing many of my old patients, along with many new ones” there. The Mayfair office will alsobe staffed by Dr. Mohamad Itani (see “New Faces”).
Dr. Raymond Fonseca, Dean of the School of Dental Medicine and an oral surgeonwith the Penn Faculty Practice, says that the main reason for opening this new office is toimprove service to the large number of University and Health System employees who live inthe Northeast. Dr. Fonseca notes, “James Michener once remarked that whenever he trav-eled abroad, he always looked for dentists who were graduates of Penn because he knew hecould count on getting quality care from them. Now we’re bringing the faculty who trainthose dentists—the ones that Michener would look for—out to neighborhoods. We’re mak-ing it easy for anyone who wants Penn quality to find it.”

BABYING THOSE BABY TEETHYour child’s first teeth, known as
deciduous teeth, will affect his or herdevelopment on many levels. By givingyour child the ability to chew properly,teeth are an important part of proper
nutrition. Healthy deciduous teeth play akey role in ensuring proper growth anddevelopment of the jaw, as well as in theeruption of the permanent teeth that willeventually replace them. Those first teethalso affect your child’s ability to learn tospeak, and by contributing to a healthyappearance, teeth can impact on his or hersocial development. And, as Director ofthe Penn Faculty Practice Dr. Robert Tisotpoints out, “Deciduous teeth can be inthe mouth until a child is 13. There aremany situations where permanent teethdon’t last that long.” So there are plentyof reasons for building good oral hygienepractices in children, beginning with thatfirst tooth—and sometimes even before.
