The University must cater to a multiplicity of publics In a university the size of Morquette, many divergent forces exist to moke the University o living ond growing concern able to relate beneficiolly to both the student body it serves ond the teaching service it employs The University must olso coter to o multiplicity of publics, both internol ond external, in order to exist as a functioning business enterprise dedicated to the advancement of knowledge The Marquette of ten, and even five years ogo, hos seen a revitalization, o resurgence of power under the direction of University president, the Very Rev. John P. Raynor, SJ. A new, involved, relevant Marquette, so emphatically called for two years ago by the Jesuit Superior, hos emerged. Within the three years of Fr. Raynor's presidency, Marquette hos entered into an era of development. This year the Greater Morquette Program substantially exceeded its mid-point goal, allowing optimistic hopes for even greoter progress toward building an impressive campus. Further developments within the academic milieu included a shakily defined speakers policy, the introduction of a pass-fail course option in liberal arts, and the additional accreditation of several graduate programs The speakers policy debate, which had flamed sporodicolly for severol years, reached an unsteady compromise, Academic commitments and the rate of academic growth have never been so high. With the full accreditation by the North Central Association of doctoral progroms in biology, biochemistry, phormocology, physiology, philosophy, ond religious studies ond with preliminary accreditation extended to the doctoral programs in microbiology, pathology, education, electrical engineering, materials science, and English, MU has moved into a reolm of diverse graduate progroms. The first doctorates in religious studies ever granted by the faculty of an American Catholic university were conferred at Marquette's 1967 commencement. Prior to this time, all such degrees were granted by seminaries connected with the University. New theology courses were offered at the undergraduate level relevant to the Christian personality in contemporary society. The doctoral program in education, established in 1965, has recently odded courses toward higher education specialization. The six courses comprising the program prepare the candidates for high-level teaching and administrative posts in colleges and universities. Marquette is one of two Catholic universities to offer this series of courses On the undergraduate level, the pass-fail option went into effect for juniors and seniors beginning with the spring semester Ideally, this system prompts the student to seek the more challenging disciplines. In receiving either satisfactory or unsatisfactory, the student risks no grade point drop He has the privilege of electing one of the more stimulating, but possibly more taxing courses. The system was tested first in liberal arts courses, the most popular and most diverse, exposing a maximum of upperclossmen to the opportunity. Under the supervision of the student senate, this year's responses to the program will be evaluated for possible extended use. The option, although only an experiment, is nonetheless on experiment in progressive education. 18

Physical increases in the campus surroundings further contributed to on aura of ocademic vigor The completion of the Todd Wehr Chemistry, the second of three buildings to compose the Wehr Science Center, was indicative of the rapid departmental upsurge characterizing the physical sciences The scope of this scientific orientation is seen in the extensive facilities, research gronts, and faculty openings provided for in the Wehr donation. The new Legal Research Center, constructed as a bi-level addition to the Law School, houses library facilities and administrative offices. This addition to the University plant, coupled with the renovotion of the Science Building, demonstrated a surge of concentration on academic facilities. The remodeled quarters of the Science Building provided offices for four administrative departments and the University purchose of the four-story Varsity Building for office use points to an increased emphasis on administrative aspects. Through the Milwaukee Urban Renewal Project, new tracts of land have become available for future University expansion. Outdated buildings hove been razed by the city for use as parking lots or tracts of grass. Marquette has become a university within a large city, rather than a university surrounded by a large city. The number of graduate teaching assistants hos increased sharply within the last five years. The faculty to student rotio of one to 13 64, the lowest it hos been since 1962 and well within the accepted ronge of ten to twenty students per faculty member. An interaction between students, faculty members, and qualified graduate assistants allows shored insights in a lecture-response program outlined by lectures, quiz sections, ond laboratory sections Marquette's many required courses necessitates large classes, yet the effectiveness of the lecture is often determined by workshop sections of ten to twenty students. These workshops, an extra hour of class time, allow a more open dialogue among students under the direction of a graduate student. Marquette's intercourse between the city ond the University has opened up a fertile orea of activity. Continuing education courses ond programs dedicated to the study of inner city characteristics allow a constont interchange between the University ond its environment. The reorganization of the Marquette School of Medicine in late September, achieved by an amendment to the medical school's corporation charter and by-laws, severed all legal ties between Marquette University and the medical school. This oction, on both an acodemic and financial level, was intended to preserve independently sponsored medical education for the Milwaukee community and ot the same time enhance the probabilities of receiving state financial support. In a year marked by increases in the physical campus, progress in both academic excellence ond the faculty-administrotion-student relotions, the Marquette community hos brought itself closer to those goals properly defined for a University. Father Raynor, in his annual report assessing the academic accomplishments of the past year, stoted that these accomplishments . . . provide only a point of departure for the goals and achievements of the future. MU has moved into a realm of diverse graduate programs 19
