Aids: Implications To Society And Approaches To Control, Robert W. Sidwell
Aids: Implications To Society And Approaches To Control, Robert W. Sidwell
Faculty Honor Lectures
It is perhaps a measure of today's society that a new disease of potentially world-wide implication does not gain national or international attention until a famous person contracts it. This was particularly seen with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) when it became known that Rock Hudson of movie and TV acclaim was dying of it. By the time the celebrated pianist and entertainer Liberace died of AIDS, the various public health agencies around the world had begun to focus on the problem, and enormous sums of money were being committed toward its control. Today, more U.s. dollars are budgeted for AIDS …

On The Horns Of A Dilemma, The Uneasy Partnership Between Advocacy And Social Science, Karl R. White
Faculty Honor Lectures
Most of us living in the United States enjoy the highest standard of living in the history of the world. Taken together, the technological, cultural, recreational, medical, and educational opportunities of our society are unsurpassed. But we also face an abundance of critical social problems. Widely quoted and seemingly accurate statistics which describe such problems include, but are not limited to the following.
Visible And Invisible Women In Land-Grant Colleges, 1890-1940, Alison Comish Thorne
Visible And Invisible Women In Land-Grant Colleges, 1890-1940, Alison Comish Thorne
Faculty Honor Lectures
The role and status of women in land-grant colleges has not really been studied. As many of these institutions have approached their centennials and have reflected on their past achievements, the lack of research about women faculty, women students, women staff, and faculty wives has been astounding. In part, our misperceptions or ignorance concerning women in this institutional setting is understandable. Like many women in other historical milieus, women at land-grant institutions have been invisible. Because they were rarely administrators, because they composed such a small part of the faculty, and often because of the discipline in which they taught, …
The Supreme Organ Of The Mind's Self-Ordering Growth, T. Y. Booth
The Supreme Organ Of The Mind's Self-Ordering Growth, T. Y. Booth
Faculty Honor Lectures
As is true of other organs, when language is functioning well, we pay little or no attention to it or its complexities. Part of the difficulty, in fact, of doing justice to the problems of expression and interpretation that Richards asks us to deal with is that routine language experience occurs so effortlessly, so unconcernedly, so second-natured naturally, that when we do run into difficulties we do not always recognize them as difficulties of our developing language. Or, what can be even worse, we think of the language difficulties as if they were separable, as if the thought would be …
Values And Schooling, Perspectives For School People And Parents, James P. Shaver
Values And Schooling, Perspectives For School People And Parents, James P. Shaver
Faculty Honor Lectures
One of the most perplexing issues facing school people is posed by the question, "What should the school's role be in regard to students' values?" Some version of that question may even on occasion provoke concern among parents. When they do become involved in related disputes over what the .school should be doing - usually as part of an aroused minority reacting to a new element in the school program - parents are .likely to make such declarations as, "The school has no business messing with the values of our children!" Individually, they are likely to think, but not say …
Are Pschological Principles Useful?(A Guid To The Study Of Human Learning), David R. Stone
Are Pschological Principles Useful?(A Guid To The Study Of Human Learning), David R. Stone
Faculty Honor Lectures
To some extent, each person is his own doctor, his own economist, his own historian, his own counselor, his own psychologist, and his own teacher.
It is said that a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client. Can the same be said of a man's other roles? At least for learning (which professionally intersects education and psychology) any person may have the goal of helping himself to appreciate and evaluate the role of the learning professional.
A knowledge explosion has taken place in the area of learning, as in the many fields of science in …
Some Economic Fallacies And The Citizen, Evan B. Murray
Some Economic Fallacies And The Citizen, Evan B. Murray
Faculty Honor Lectures
To raise the question of economics under any title is at best to be accused of preaching to the converted, and at worst accused of preaching what every member of the congregation understands much better than the preacher. Since economics is a discussion of what people do day after day as they go about making a living, who doesn't understand all about it? Practically all adults do some kind of work, they get money, they spend money, they save, they borrow, they produce things, they sell things, they put money in the bank and draw money from the bank. They …
Obligations Of Higher Education To The Social Order, Ernest A. Jacobsen
Obligations Of Higher Education To The Social Order, Ernest A. Jacobsen
Faculty Honor Lectures
Search for truth is not limited to the discovery of facts. If wisdom is to result from such discovery, there must be parallel study in the realm of values. Lack of balance in these two aspects of research has tended to result in an enormous mass of information and in a marvelous productive power in our society with a lack of worthy ends toward which to direct and apply them. Wisdom is the product of information and values skillfully integrated.
When values are involved the principal data become the ideas and ideals of man. These must be extensively gathered, classified, …
Institution Building In Utah, Joseph A. Geddes
Institution Building In Utah, Joseph A. Geddes
Faculty Honor Lectures
The slow growth of civilization and the early meagerness of tested knowledge in any but the most pressing and practical matters undoubtedly conditioned and determined the nature of primitive collective thinking. Large assumptions had to be made about all things. Trial and error methods were slow methods. Only in his late maturity as knowledge multiplied has man found ways of testing the validity of an hypothesis so that assumption-making could become a tool of advancement rather than a controlling mechanism. Superstition, a large component in the culture of even the most advanced peoples, was an inevitable adjunct of progress. As …
