They included Russel Crouse, John Golden, Moss Hart, Oscar Hammer stein II, Richard Rodgers, John Wharton and Michaela 0’Harra.

President Henry King Stanford has appointed a committee to conduct an Institutional Self-Study this year as part of the University’s continuing membership in and accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Such a study is required every 10 years. Chairman of the steering committee is Dr. John R. Beery, dean emeritus of the School of Education. Other members named to the committee are M.

In a memorandum to the committee members, Dr. Stanford noted that, since the Self-Study conducted under the direction of Dr. J. Riis Owre 10 years ago was so thorough and all-encompassing, SACS officials suggested that the University might wish to conduct a more restricted Self-Study. Consequently, it has been decided to concentrate the current Self-Study on the academic undergraduate programs, with other areas of the The Miami CCC is one of 18 comprehensive centers recently established in the nation and is headed by Dr. C.

The charge made to the steering committee is “to structure the program, appoint the necessary study groups, receive, evaluate and synthesize the group reports into a final document which expresses our critical self-examination and is also a projection of our hopes and ambitions in the undergraduate area.” The final document is to be completed early in the 1975-76 academic year and to be submitted for consideration by the President and by the Board of Trustees. On the nomination of SACS officials, UM is one of 10 institutions across the country cooperating with the Federation I of Regional Accrediting Commissions of Dr. Samuel Gunn Higher Education in trying out a new approach to institutional self-studies that emphasizes evaluation of achievement of objectives rather than evaluation of the process designed to reach these objectives. “Through involvement in this cooperative venture, it is hoped we can have a part in evaluating and perhaps improving the institutional self-study process,” said Dr. Stanford in his memorandum to the committee. He continued, “The role of the UM steering committee is critical to the success of the Self-Study and the Self-Study will play an important part in the progress of our University.
