The Presidential Address The l984-I985 academic year will be remembered as one of the most im- portant in the University's history. Following years of planning and a successful capital campaign, the University celebrated the opening of two new buildings, The Chapel of the Incarnation and the Patrick E. Haggerty Science Center. On these occasions in the Spring of l985, the entire community e stu- dents, faculty, staff, clergy, alumni, trustees, and friends from through, out the metropolitan area e joined together to recognize the Universi- ty's progress and to affirm our common purposes. A major bond issue approved in l984-l985 will allow the University to continue to improve its educa- tional facilities. Funds from the bond will provide for the renova- tion of our dormitories and instruc- tional buildings. This also was the year the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools tSACSl reaffirmed the Uni- versity's accreditation, thereby recognizing the quality of Our cur- riculum, students and faculty. The Board of Trustees approved a new Constitution of the University Council and Faculty Senate de- signed to increase faculty partici- pation in University policy deci- sions. The Facultyis study of the coherence of the University's core curriculum, underwritten in part by a grant from the National Endow- ment for the Humanities tNEHl, is contributing to our efforts to im- prove education at the undergrad- uate level. These elements e- the new buildings, the reaffirmation of accreditation, the improvement of facilities and landscaping, and the constant effort to improve the cur- riculum e will contribute for gen- erations, to the pattern of excel- lent teaching and study which characterizes life at the University of Dallas.
