Specialization reached the School of Education headed by Dr. C. N. Bogner. He stated, ctOur faculty teach only in their field of competency to ascertain a well-educated future teacher? Perhaps the greatest change at Miami in recent years was the founding and weedish growth of off-campus academic centers in Dayton, Middletown and Chillicothe. The act of building, staffing and programming these three centers, by Earl V. Thesken, Educational Services, indicated the Universityis need to adjust to increasing academic de- mand. George F. Barron, Fine Arts, appreciated the need for more rigid selection of art students. Thus, he initiated a series of field advertising trips to area high schools in search of superior artists. The result: an esca- lation of academic excellence at Hiestand. Under the auspices of H . Bunker Wright, Graduate School, a peti- tion was presented to the Board of Regents requesting permission to grant doctoral degrees to meet impending educational requests. Over 200 Masters degrees were granted in cooperation with Ohio State this past year. George F . Barron Dean ofFine Arts Dr. H. Bunker Wright Dean ofGraduate School Dr. C .

26 ADMINISTRATIVE DEANS On a campus where intellectual isolation could exist as readily as geographical isolation, the deans of Miamits schools had to consider each academic, faculty, curriculum, and financial ideal in the light of progress. Dr. Karl E. Limper, Acting Provost for 1964-65, returned to Arts and Sciences and was active in the growth of inter- departmental liaison programs such as International Studies. He aspired to obtain permission to grant doc- toral degrees for A8LS students. Through the efforts of George Bowers, Applied Science, Miami was the first university to confer a baccalaureate degree in Systems Analysis. In retrospect, he stated, ttlnnovation is seldom a welcome character, but with persistence and justiflca- tion, it can win? Since 1963, enrollment in Systems Analysis jumped from no students to 200 and tripled in Industrial Technology. Under the direction of Dr. D. R. Cawthorne, the School of Business Administration re- vamped its program leading to a Masters degree and requested permission to grant a doctoral degree. ttAll resources must move toward a goal of excellence?

28 ADMINISTRATION James S turgeon Bursar Max B. Rosselot Robert T. Howard Registrar Director of the Office of Public Information Lloyd A. Goggin Treasurer As Bursar 0f the University, James S turgeon was the man to rob. For the fiscal year of 1965, over 33 mil- lion dollars passed through his hands for student fees, tuition, room and board, ticket sales and receipts from the University Center. In addition, this head cashier received over 30,000 iilettersli from paying parents -the envy of every chain letter enthusiast. Next door to this antagonist of the coin shortage, resided Max Rosselot, University Registrar. Biannually, his chair was eyed vicariously by 10,000 standing, impatient, registering Miamians. He assured them, iiRegistration and sched- uling should shortly be handled by IBM machines as was freshman registration? Over 34,000 student transcripts were also processed in this office. C harles M . Schuler Director of A dmissions Lloyd Goggin, University Treasurer, cut the fig- ure of a iifact and statal man, a business associate, a gov- ernment contact, and an array of other profiles, to direct all financial affairs involved in running the University. Charles Schuler, Admissions, was the man indirectly responsible for campus personality. He dealt with pros- pective Miamians, admitting close to 1 1,000 students this year. Robert Howard, Public Information, cooperated with alumni, parents, lawmakers and high schoolers in acquainting them with University happenings.
