The You have my preliminary reactions regarding the need for more work with proctors, tutors and students. As suggested, I'll meet with Dan [Steiner '54, general counsel to the University] and Chase [Peterson '52, vice president for alumni affairs and development] on this before getting back to you. (If you teach, I'll promise not to audit.) Deans meetings should be further upgraded by cutting and compacting routine business and by continued development of a program involving guest speakers and discussion leaders in significant matters of broad interest. You should consider bringing in outsiders or fringe players such as Bundy and O'Hara (chairman of our House Education subcommittee) as well as others in the Whitla catagory [sic]. Upgrading and use of speakers should be extended to other gatherings and every meeting you attend should be checked for outreach possibilities. I attach a supplementary memo from Robin Schmidt. *Michael F. Brewer, assistant to the vice president for government and community affairs. The nature of the paper referred to is unknown. * United Giving Fund, otherwise known as the United Way. * Teacher's Insurance Annuity Association and the College Retirement Equity Fund, two organizations that handle retirement and insurance benefits for academics.
