■ yy ORGANIZATIONAL ADVANCEMENT The Division Chairmen have many special du- ties, among them the organization and responsibil- ity for instructional budgets, assignment of courses in the division (including additions of new courses and help with the new catalogue), and recommen- dations for promotions. As heads of departments, they can help the Dean of Faculty, Dr. Roberts, in selecting and interviewing new teachers in their department. Division IV, Natural Science, under Professor Munn and with the help of Dr. Chittick, has been able to set up a new chemistry major to begin next fall (1969) with an endowed chair for Professor Munn. Dr. Cecelia Martin

Visiting Professor Dr. Donald Chittick aided in setting up a new chemistry major at GF. NEW PROGRAM FOR ACADEMIC INNOVATION A new program has been instituted this year under govern- ment funds which brings a visiting professor to our campus for each of the three terms, and another professor for the entire year. ' This program is designed to stimulate both students and faculty and encourage more innovation in academic areas. Dr. Donald Chittick, from the University of Puget Sound, joined the science department for the entire year. He taught a full load and aided in setting up a new chemistry major at George Fox. He also began what he called a learning center program for the general chemistry students which consisted of pro- grammed lessons on slides and tape. This left more time for per- sonal help to those needing it. Visiting professor for fall term was Dr. Lester DeKoster from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His contribution was in the political science and philosophy field. In addition to his full-time teaching responsibilities, he was a guest lecturer in se- veral classes. Sheldon Jackson was the visiting scholar in history winter term. Dr. Dallas Willard, from the University of Southern California was on campus for a short time only during spring term. He lec- tured on existential phenomenology. The economics department was favored with Dr. Michner in the spring, who taught several classes and gave lectures on econo- mics and business. He was a former student and teacher at George Fox and has been conected with the New York Chase Man hattan Bank for a number years. It is the aim of the college to enrich a different department of learning each term through this experimental program. 24
