Pennsylvania: 1st in Faculty Fund Raising,3d in Guggenheims, 13th in Faculty Pay

Fund Campaign:University faculty members are giving

to the most successful faculty fund rais-ing campaign in the history of Americaneducation, according to a report recentlyreleased on the $93,000,000 Develop-ment Program.

Faculty members have already givenor pledged $2,049,068 toward the$3,000,000 faculty campaign goal, whichis scheduled to be reached by January,1968.

Over $50,000,000 has been pledgedtoward the overall $93,000,000 goal.The campaign goal, announced inNovember, 1964, is $35,000,000 forthe medical schools and hospitals and$58,000,000 for the University's work inthe other arts, sciences, and professions.

Dr. George W. Taylor, HarnwellProfessor of Industry, served as chair-man of the academic faculty campaignexecutive committee. Dr. Richard H.Chamberlain, chairman of the radiologydepartment, is chairman of the medicalfaculty campaign.

William L. Day, chairman of theFirst Pennsylvania Banking and TrustCompany and chairman of the academicsegment of the campaign, has told Dr.Taylor, "In working with our alumniand friends, the fact that Pennsylvania'sfaculty has shown in such a tangible wayits great faith and confidence in the insti-tution is a telling point in our story. Toour knowledge, no other faculty at anAmerican educational institution hasgiven so large an amount."

Faculty Pay:The average full-time salary of faculty

at the University rose from $11,592 in1964/65 to $12,478 in 1965/66 to makethe University number 13 on the list ofuniversities with the highest salary levels.The average compensation figure rosefrom $12,681 to $13,887.

These figures are from the 1965-66report on "The Economic Status of theProfession," to be reported in the June1966 issue of the American Associationof University Professors Bulletin.The previous AAUP Report ranked

universities on the basis of average com-pensation, upon which the Kravis Reportin the March Almanac also based itsrankings. Both reports exclude salariesfrom the medical divisions.

Leading theAAUP list, in order, wereHarvard, University of California atBerkeley, Stanford, California Instituteof Technology, Cornell, Johns Hopkins,Northwestern, MIT, Princeton, Roches-ter, Columbia, and Michigan. If all uni-versities and colleges are included, ratherthan major universities alone, Pennsyl-vania would rank seventeenth.

In all ranks, the University received agrade of "A" on the basis of salary scale.The highest AAUP rating is "AA,"which no university has ever held.The latest development on the com-

pensation front is a proposal to increasethe amount of group life insurance tothose in the $10,000 and up base salaryrange. The recommendation was ap-proved at the last University Councilmeeting.

Guggenheims:The Guggenheim Foundation has

awarded University faculty members 13fellowships, making the University oneof the three biggest winners. Only theUniversity of California at Berkeley andColumbia University received moreawards, 27 and 15 respectively.Only 321 of the 2,001 applicants re-

ceived awards, the aggregate value ofwhich ran over two million dollars.The new Guggenheim fellows from

the University are:& Dr. Malcolm Campbell, assistant

professor of the history of art.& Dr. Richard S. Dunn, associate

professor of history.& Eugene Feldman, visiting lecturer

in fine arts.& Herbert Howarth, professor of

English.& Dr. Adolph Klarmann, professor

and chairman of the general literaturedepartment of the Graduate School ofArts and Sciences.

& Dr. Gabriel Kolko, associate profes-sor of history.& Dr. Donald N. Langenberg, associ-

ate professor of physics.& Dr. Marshall Luban, assistant pro-

fessor of physics.& Dr. Robert J. Nelson, professor of

romance languages.& Dr. Henry Primakoff, Donner Pro-

fessor of Physics.& Dr. William M. Protheroe, profes-

sor of astronomy and vice-dean of theGraduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Bozorth Reports on Latest Senate Meetingby Dr. Richard G. Bozorth

Secretary of the University SenateOn April 28 the last plenary meeting

for the year of the University Senatetook place with about 150 members at-tending. The annual election of Senateofficers and members of standing com-mittees brought the following results:Chairman-elect-Ned B. Williams; Sec-retary-elect-Richard L. Rowan; SenateAdvisory Committee (for 3-year terms)-Dale R. Coman, Louis A. Girifalco,Paul J. Mishkin, Almarin Phillips; (2-year term)-Matthias A. Shaaber; (1-year term)-James J. Davis; Committeeon Academic Freedom and Responsibility-John 0. Honnold, Herbert J. Spiro.Though voting was preceded by only

one nomination from the floor, Jean S.Straub, who had served as chairman ofthe nominating committee, was moved to

point out that a fully balanced represen-tation of all areas of the faculty was hardto achieve in the face of considerable re-luctance to serve. The proliferation ofduties in teaching, research, committeework and administrative activity at timesrequires the consulting of three or moretimes as many people as the number ofnominees actually needed to fill offices.

Everett S. Lee, as retiring chairman ofthe Senate Committee on Academic Free-dom and Responsibility, gave an informalreport onhis committee's activity duringthe past year. He emphasized what hasbeen all too often revealed of late. Therevising of present procedures that governsuch matters as suspension or dismissal isbadly needed, but such revision will dolittle to improve our situation untilmeans have been found to inform allmembers of the faculty and administra-tion of the duties and rights that arespelled out in University policies. Thewhole fabric of such policies is presentlygetting the efforts of the Faculty AffairsCommittee of the University Council.Ned B. Williams, Acting Chairman of

the Senate, reported to the membershipon the work of the Advisory Committeeduring the past academic year. Afterciting the faculty's official role inUniversity-State relations, a subject laterreviewed by Louis B. Schwartz as chair-man of that committee, Dr. Williamsreported the acute concern of the Ad-visory Committee over the issue of classi-fied research. Most of the meeting wasdevoted to this matter.

Dr. Harnwell reported at length tothe Senate about the steps already takento remove or reject from the University'ssponsorship all research contracts inwhich the right of publication is denied.He emphasized the cooperation of variousgovernmental agencies with whom theUniversity makes agreements, but hemade it clear that quick and easy solu-tions to a research program as large asPennsylvania's was not at hand. The im-pression left by the President's reportwas that members of the Administrationhave been very busy in this matter for thepast six months, but that their sense ofsuccess has been about as qualified as thatof the Senate.The ensuing discussion at this latest

meeting makes it clear that the wholematter of University policy towards clas-sified research involves the proverbialmare's nest. On the record it might ap-pear that research policies have been de-fined, the implementation of them madeclear: all that remains is to carry out theapparently clear will of the University.But no such happy conclusion can anylonger seriously be hoped for. Last fallthe Senate voted to approve a new andremarkably tight statement by Dr. Ham-well on the conduct of research pro-grams. Likewise it approved the resolu-tion that all related questions of researchbe referred to the Steering Committee.The November plenary session passedwithout dissenting vote a resolution byDr. James M. Sprague to submit to theSteering Committee any classified re-search being carried on by the Institutefor Cooperative Research.

In the face of more than eleven hun-dred contracts involving University per-sonnel, however, actual implementationof our accepted policies has proved oner-ous and elusive. It has been repeatedlysuggested that a faculty member mayconsider himself prevented from publish-ing the results of his research even thoughsuch limitation is not specified in his con-tract. Moreover, unless he is willing tostate categorically that he thinks himselfso denied the right of publication, thereis no way the administration, the Steer-ing Committee or many other relevantgroup can be brought to consider and in-terpret his situation.As always, definitions are the yery

heart of this problem. For research proj-ects whose results are publishable in full

may involve the use of classified sources.Thus the existence of security measurescannot be taken as evidence of a contractin violation of the University's policy offreedom of publication. Finally, as Dr.Charles S. Goodman and others havepointed out, the University may be feltto have no more right to limit an indi-vidual in the fields and conditions of re-search he undertakes without Universitysponsorship than the government or otheragencies to classify the results of projectson the campus. But precisely what dosuch expressions as "sponsorship" and"on the campus" mean?

In the conviction that the existingsituation is a damaging and unhealthyone, the Senate adopted resolutions byDr. Irving B. Kravis and Dr. GabrielKolko, respectively, that the AdvisoryCommittee investigate the policy on clas-sified research and its implementation,and that it submit to the Senate a planfor carrying out the measures adopted inlast fall's plenary session. Apparently toleave the Advisory Committee free tostudy the whole problem and make itsrecommendations as independently aspossible, the Senate withheld majoritysupport from a motion by Dr. Goodmanto condemn even implied limitations ofthe right of the individual to engage inany research he may choose-even thoughhis position seemed to have vociferoussupport at the November meeting.

Probably the happiest note of the meet-ing was struck with the report of Dr.George Taylor on the faculty fund cam-paign and his release with thanks fromhis work of the past year.

GRANTS:The U. S. Office of Education has ac-

cepted a proposal made by Dr. Fred-erick B. Davis, director of the Educa-tional Research and Service Bureau, forthree-year fellowships in a new doctoralprogram in Educational Measurement,Evaluation, and Techniques of Experi-mental Research. The grant for a five-year period will be $681,500.PERIODICALS:The first issue of "Journal of Pedi-

atric Surgery" has been mailed out, ac-cording to editor-in-chief C. EverettKoop, M.D. There will be six issuesyearly. Dr. Koop is surgeon-in-chief atChildren's Hospital of Philadelphia andprofessor of pediatric surgery at Penn.

4 THE ALMANAC

PERIODICALS:For those who love alliteration the

Almanac announces with pleasure that aPennsylvania professor has been namedthe editor of a new pediatrics periodical.Dr. Irving J. Wolman, chairman ofthe department of pediatrics of the Divi-sion of Graduate Medicine, is the editor-in-chief of Clinical Pediatrics. The an-nouncement for the new publication saysthat it will neglect "none of the impor-tant pediatric subspecialties." Those con-cerned about medical overspecializationwill be pleased to note that there is noreference to "sub-subspecialties." Thislatter term can be created when the oc-casion demands by analogy to a wordwidely used in the construction industry-"sub-subcontractors."
