of matter, electricity and radiant energy; molecular, atomic and
nuclear structure emissions; theoretical viewpoints upon above problems
with Special emphasis on their compatibility; relativity; astrophysics.

 

 

 

This course is a unified presentation of the use of atomism in the
deveIOpment of modern physical ideas. The basic concepts of many

modern physical theories will be discussed disembodied as far as feasible
from the involved techniques of the theoretical specialist. This course
is intended to provide a survey of recent physics for those interested

in professions other than adVanced physics and a useful introduction for
those planning to pursue physics intensively.

 

 

It has been made necessary by the recent develOpments in the field

of physics. It is a valuable part of our cyclic offering for advanced

students and will not, therefore, increase the teaching load but, when .
given, will substitute for some other course. “

Dean Evans presented a renort from the Senate Committee on Mimeogrenhed
Texts. After consideraole discussion the report was approved as a nart
the rules of the University Senate. The report reads as follows:

 

 

 

 

 Minutes of the University Senate a February 14, 1938

"At the last meeting of the Senate a motion was passed to refer to a new
committee that part of the report then before the Senate which dealt with
mimeographed material. The committee so appointed by the President met
on January 14 and reports as follows:

The committee found that there were some 15 books of this general type
being sold to students, all of the sales being made through the bookstore
except in one or two instances, where the sale was made by the instructor
direct to his students. Four of these were lithoprinted and one was
printed. All the rest were mimeographed.

The committee found that the basic cost for a book of 100 sheets of which
100 copies are published is $0.77%¢ per book. After the first hundred
copies, the cost is $0.42%¢ per copy. Thus, if 200 copies should be sold
the average cost would be $0.60¢. If 500 copies from the some stencil should
be sold the cost would be $O.EO¢. A record is kept of the number of copies
sold in each case. The committee received an estimate from the bookstore
of the number of copies of each mimeographed book sold and thus computed
the cost and the profit or loss, as the case may be. The largest number of
any one booklet sold during a single semester was estimated at 500. This
booklet contained 73 pages and the original issue of 100 copies, plus 4
others, would reduce the cost to about $0.36¢ per copy.

The committee therefore recommends:

(1) That the maximum price to students of mimeographed material be not more
than one cent per page, of approximately four hundred words.

(2) In the event that drawings or other type of drafting should necessitate
a greater charge than a charge of one cent per page, the instructor conm
corned should then obtain the apprOVal of the University Committee on
Publications before a price greater than one cent per page should be placed
upon the manuscript. The same rule may apply to the lithographed material
already on hand where the material may have cost more than the price herein
recommended.

(3) The committee recommends further that the lithographing method be not
employed except in those cases where it is as cheap or cheaper than mimeographing,
or in those cases in which figures and tables can not be prepared by the
mimeographing method.

(4) That all sales should be made through the bookstore and should not be
made directly to the students by the instructor.

(5) It is recommended, but not made a mandatory part of the rule to be
applied that all instructors should limit their profits to 10 per cent.

The committee feels that an instructor should not be put in a position where
his financial interests conflict with his duty to his classes. It also feels
that the material found in these mimeographed booklets is of a tentative

character and therefore is not comparable to a book which has been finally
printed for public use. It is different, also, because it has not yet been
submitted to the criticism of scholars in the particular field in which it

is written and therefore differs from a printed book sold to the public.
Furthermore, it differs from a book in that the student does not have somee
thing left at the end of his course which is suitable as a permanent addition
to his library and further because generally it has not resale value.

One member of the committee believes that all materials should be published
at the expense of the department concerned and that the department should
bear any loss which may accrue and also any profit which may arise from the
above suggested price}

On the basis of the information available the committee was of the opinion
that there are several cases where a very considerable profit has been
realized by the instructor on his mimeographed material. There are some
other cases where the instructor must depend upon future sales to recover
his first cost."

On suggestion from President McVey, the reports on educational meetings,
which were to have been given by Professors Koppius, Roberts and Scherago,
were made a special order of business for the next meeting of the Senate.

President McVey asked the Senate to consider the recommendations of the
Council on the report of the Committee on the State of the University. These
recommendations had been received at the meeting of January 10, but no

action had been taken. In connection with the first topic, which the Council
suggested might be given further study, Professor Trimble presented a
resolution. After considerable discussion, the resolution was adopted with,
one amendment. The resolution, as amended, reads as follows:

BE IT RESOLVED by the University Senate that a committee
be chosen to be styled the curriculum committee” Said committee
shall consist of ten members appointed for one year and chosen as
follows: the Senate shall elect the chairman. He shall in turn
appoint the other members, choosing one from the faculty of each
of the following colleges: Commerce, EduCatiOn, Law. Engineering,
and Agriculture, and one from each of the following fields of work
in the Arts and Science College; that is, the social sciences,
foreign languages, the biological sciences including psychology,
the physical sciences, and literature. philosophy and the arts,
except from the college or field from which the chairman is chosen.

The members chosen by the chairman shall be subject to approval
by the President.
