ADVANCENENT
OF TEACHING
President st nd called on Dr. C. L. Anderson, chairman,
to present t e thinking of the Co~~ittee on the Advancementof Teac ing, together with the recommendations of
the Committe , particularly on the question of recognition
of outstandi g teaching. Dr. Anderson spoke of the need
to emphasize eaching service because of the rise of
emphasis on
her major functions in higher education. He
spoke specifi ally of the project last spring under which
a small grou. of faculty people were honored as tlrepresentatives of t e outstanding teachers of Oregon state College.
He said that the choice was not on a popularity basis.
He spoke of odifications t.hat might be made in method of
selection.
'3 said there wer-e three questions on which
Faculty Councli L action might be taken: (1) Do we want to
recognize ou standing teaching? (2) Is the method of
selection sa ·sfactory? (J) Is the method of honoring
teachers sat·sfactory1
Various sugg stions: If a plan of recognition is f'o.l.Lowed ,
it should be t least every four years, though perhaps
oftener. H01ever, probably the procedure would be followed annual
even though selection nGed not be made
each year.
ose selected might make good members of
the selectin committee. An aHard is appreciated and
cherished; t ·s neH recognition Was an excellent supplement to t i Ca r-t er- Awards , l,oJould
the effort involved
perhaps be be ter directed to some oth0r Hays of
improving teaphing? The dinner Has co:nmended. Could not
names of the !recipients be announced at same time as Carter
A'i'lards?Alumhi frequently have initiated and participated
in such progrjms.
Moved (Trigg)j and seconded (Maser) that the Committee be
requested to pontinue the program of recognition of outstanding teaching with the method of selection and of
honoring those selected left to the committee. Carried.
Several sugge~tions Here made involving the Carter ~wardE,
l
and President Strand said he wou Ld consult Mr. Carter to
determine his wishes in relating his awards to a wider
program.
