This group is con- sidered one of the two most important com- mittees working for Marietta College, serving as an advisory board to the administrative of- ficers. The Dean of the College is chairman of the group, the President is ex-officio, and the Registrar serves as secretary. Two of the six faculty members serving on this council are elected by a majority vote from the faculty in April of each year. Each faculty member serves for three years, beginning the September first following his election. Originally an experimental program, the Faculty Council has been extremely successful in carrying out its duties in the capacity of administration-faculty-student advisor. The importance of this council has been stressed. It appoints the members of all stand- ing faculty committees each September, initi- ates studies or surveys of any matter concern- ing academic and other internal affairs of the college, reviews candidates for honorary de- grees, and may consider appeals from students suspended or expelled from the college. Recommendations in this connection may be made to the President and Dean of the Col- lege. The council advises with the President and Dean on matters of general college policy. Moreover, it is the Faculty Council that sets up the requirements for admission to the col- lege, the conditions of graduation, and the nature of the degrees to be awarded. The members of the Faculty Council help to establish procedures for granting financial aid to students and also make suggestions for the conduct of student life and activity. Final- ly, this group has the right to make such other regulations for the conduct of the educa- tional work of the college as may be desir- able. Seated: Mr. Bruce Blackburn, Dean Merrill Patterson, Mrs. Lillian Sinclair. Standing: Mr. Earl Bender, Mr. 'Paul Gawtlarop, Mr. john Pettit, Dr. Harold Dean, Mr. Warren Steel. 131

TRUSTEES 'a's' The Trustees, Marietta College's govern- ing board, study enrollment, fiscal plans, and curriculum changesg they also approve amend- ments to the by-laws of the college. Because of the increase in students in the past decade, the Trustees found it necessary to expand the physical program of the school. These men, seeing the college's opportu- nity for growth, inaugurated the Building and Development Program in 1949. Since that time many major improvements have been made on the campus. The achievement record includes the construction of four buildings: the Gilman Student Center, the Edwy R. Brown Petroleum Building, Elsie Newton Hall, and a second annex to Dorothy Webster Hall, the freshman women's dormitory. Other innovations are a central heating plant, the renovation of Erwin Hall tower and clock, the purchase of Strecker House, the renovation of the President's home, a new athletic field and tennis courts, and a number of field house improvements. In 1958 the Trustees contacted profes- sional consultants to study the most important needs of Marietta College. Their recommenda- E121 tions were presented and as a result, the Trus- tees initiated the 125th Anniversary Develop- ment Program. This far-seeing plan has as its immediate goals the construction of a new library, men's dormitory, and chemistry build- ing, in addition to the conversion of the pre- . , , A sent library to administrative offices and class- - rooms. -rx. At the board's fall meeting, the Trustees discussed proposed building sites for the three new additions to the campus. If plans progress as scheduled, the buildings will be ready for use in the fall of 1961. An operating budget of 31,500,500 was approved by the Trustees at this meeting, and the 351,300,000 goal of the Anniversary fund drive was discussed. The Trustees divided the fund campaign into several groups with campaign leaders in charge. Gifts of substantial size from business K 1 all firms, foundations, industries, and individuals .t constitute the basic source of donations. x, ' - Y Through the efforts of the Trustees, our Tai college is assured of a future marked by confi- dent progress and increased productivity.

:L A321 I EAN OE THE COLLEGE Philosopher, violinist, teacher and Shake- spearian actor . . . if diversity is the key to success, then Merrill R. Patterson's is richly deserved. In addition to his administrative duties as Dean of the College and his academic responsibilities as head of the English Depart- ment, Dean Patterson finds time to lead cheers at the bonfires, act as chief auctioneer at the annual auction on campus, and announce the Homecoming Queen at the peak of each foot- ball season. 514 As versatile a man as Dean 'lPat is natur- ally interested in a variety of fields, ranging from biology to dramatics and music. A violin- ist and concertmaster in the Marietta Oratorio Society and Orchestra, he has played in the college's annual production of Handel's Mes- siah for a number of years. Although Dean Patterson is celebrating his 28th anniversary on campus this year, he has been known in the past as a newspaper editor and a leader in bringing liberal ed- ucation and industry together. Formerly a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Marietta, founder and president of the United Appeals in this city, trustee and treasurer of the Ohioana Library Association, and presi- dent of the National Dean's Association, Dr. Patterson is in constant demand as a speak- er. He has had articles published in the Dictionary of American Biography and was selected, along with ten other Deans in the country, for the Institution for College-Uni- versity Administration. Dr. Patterson took his undergraduate work at Wesleyan University, received his Master's degree from Brown University and his Ph.D. from Yale while working as a re- porter for the local newspaper. Listed in Who's Who in America, Dean Patterson has received many honors. Included among these honors are Delta Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Psi Omega, Beta Beta Beta, Pi Kappa Delta, Pi Delta Epsilon, and Omicron Delta Kappa. According to Dean Patterson, a university must not only be a place designed for the un- impeded search for truth, but also an avenue of usefulness and service reaching out to all men. Dean Pat hopes that Marietta will in- crease to the point where we can do even more for our students than we are doing now, and at the same time keep thinking of faculty- administration-student relationships on the personal and intimate basis. wa , 1 .--'N ..- ,-- .'.. .Jw .... -: 1 . . an ..-- DMN 1' A Aw,-5 ll-..'.f3-.
