ALUMNI AND THE FUTURE OF LOYOLA

"1980" - Its coming seems as far away as 1970 did ten years ago. And, it will come whether or not higher ed­ucation is prepared for it.

Our last issue of the"AlumnusMag­azine" contained an article prepared by Editorial Projects for Education, which enumerated challenges tha t will confront colleges and universities in the next ten years. True the a rticl e dealt with institutions in the United States butthefindingsapplyto Canada.

"1980" in Canada has six quanti­tative objectives that must be met by our educational system - ( 1) A very great increase of students; (2) Employ-

ment of an a dequ a te number of addi­tional s ta ff members to servi ce the students ; (3) Budgetary requirements will double or triple; (4) An increase of a $1 ,000 or more per year in aver­age, full-time sal a ries ; (5) Purchase or staggering guantities of library books, and (6) N ew Program .

"1980" went into an a nalys is of the interna l qu es tions troubling educa­tion - disruptions, for eign or minor ity enrollm ent, the qua lity or teaching, the faculty, and the very nature of the university. Loyola has had its difficul­ties. It may continue to have them.

The "1980's" will bring, as a ll other deca des have, new challenges to test the ingenuity of man. A la rge share of the responsibility for solv ing the problems will be the ta sk of the college or univer­sity. If Loyola is to continue as a n emergent university it must not shirk the problems, it must not shy a wa y from its responsibility.

Loyola, as in the pa t, wilJ no t be exempt fr om the fin a ncia l ex igencies tha t colleges a nd uni versities will face. In fac t Loyola will proba bly face even more compl ex p robl ems. Other tha n tuition, Loyola ga ins some supp or t from Co rpor a ti o ns, Compa ni es a nd Alumni , but rea ll y ver y little, a nd the bulk comes fro m government gra nts.

One of the diffi culti es Loyola faces is tha t m a ny Alumni, a nd bu ine ·smen, and even corpor a tio ns think tha t the prov incia l g overnm ent is meeting the institutio n's fin a ncia l requirements. Thi s has become less true as the yea rs roll b y.

If Loyola is to be here in the "1980 's" it will require help fin a ncia l a nd o ther wise fr om the Alumni Associ­atio n a nd individua l a lumni a nd a lum­nae. This assis ta nce can com e in a number of ways - the a nnu a l giv ing program s, will s a nd bequests, a nd by helping to indoctrina te co mpa nies a nd corporati o ns tha t Loyola requires g ra nts.

The Directo rs of the Alumni A so­cia tion a re hopeful tha t they will be a ble to help Loyola o r the " 1980 's", but more imp orta ntly the Loyola of the nex t few yea r .

The Directo rs of the Associa ti o n ha ve expressed concern a bout the fu­ture of Loyola a nd a re mos t willing to become involved in a ll discussio ns concerning tha t future.

In hi s speech to the Annu a l Meeting of the Associa ti o n in 1969, Bill Wil o n Jr. sta ted tha t: " If the College is goi ng to be the ba ttl eground o n which the fi ght fo r a better society is going to be fou ght, then I beli eve we belong o n it. If the uni versity is going to be the pl ace where di a logue for g rea ter de­cision-m a king pa rti cipa ti o n is to begin, then I beli eve we wa nt cha irs around the semina r ta ble."

In 1970, Bob Beaurega rd sta ted: "I a m doi ng wha t ma ny of you a re, th a t is, looking fo r threa ds tha t may still co nnec t the pieces - o r threads that ca n be used to reweave th e whole !'a bric together aga in." Further o n in hi s a ccepta nce declara ti o n Bob sa id: " I think , as a lumni , we mu st face o ne hard fact - we ca n look back, bu t we cannot g o bac k! Memo ries a re fine, and va lu abl e, even if they tend usu a ll y to be selecti ve a nd nosta lg ic, but if our

rela ti o nship as a lumni with Loyola tod ay a nd tomo rrow is to be merely o ne o f mem ories, it is not going to mea n very mu ch." Aga in: " We mus t s trive to know Loyola - no t as il was, o r as we th oug ht il was - but as it is a nd ca n be asa releva nt educa ti o n­a l institution se rving the needsoftoday, as Loyola a lways soug ht to serve the needs of the day." Fina ll y the President sta ted ca tegori ca ll y : " Th e direc ti o n to be g iven the Tru stees of thi s College is the respo nsibility of your New Alumni Boa rd of Direc to rs."

The present Execu tives of the As­socia tion a re ver y co ncerned a bout the future of Loyola . Recentl y th ey recom­mended tha t seni o r representa tives of the Trus tees, Admini str a tion, F a culty Associa ti o n, Stu dent Associa ti o n, a nd Alumni Associ a tion be in direct co ntact with each o ther o n a ll m ajor issue . The

Executives a re very interes ted in di a­logue with a ll o th er members of the Loyola Co mmunity. Th ey point out th at Alumni Associa ti o n assi ta nceca n be most valua ble to a ll members of th e Community, but especially the Trust­ees.

Alumni representatives o n th e Trustees ca n inter p ret the ideas of a r a ther la rge g rou p to the gover ni ng bo dy a nd vice-versa. Alumni Asso­cia ti o n representa ti o n o n the Trus tees is a m ajor pl a nk of the Beau rega rd admini stra ti o n.

At the present time, th e Tru s tees a re co ntem pla ting a re-o rga ni za ti o n. N ow is the tim e fo r Alumni Associ a ti o n pa rti cipa ti o n. Actu a l governing power of the Trus tees is being diffu sed beyo nd the traditi ona l group, a nd the Alumni Associ a ti o n s hould be o ne o r th e ad ded elements o f' th a t new mi x. The Alu m ni Associa ti o n shoul cl not lea ,·e the actua l decision-m a king - in some a reas -to th ose who have to li ve with the results, fo r ultim a tely th e i ndi ,· i dua l Alumnu s a nd Alumna a nd the Associ­a ti o n have to li ve wit h th e resul ts.

Bob Beaurega rd is ca u tiously op­timistic th a t the A ·sociation will ga in representa ti on o n the Boa rd of' T rus­tees. He rea li zes th a t if the A ·ociatio n is to meet the cha ll enges o f' the 80 's a nd 70 's representa ti o n on the Boa rd of Tru stees i a fir ·t s tep.

The majo r pri o rity or the Associa­ti o n is the fu ture o f' Loyola. Rep rese n­ta ti o n o n the Tru stees is a move in the rig ht dir cti o n.

NOTES FROM NEW ORLEANS -During Jul y 1970 the America n

Alumni Council held its Annua l Con­ference in New Orleans, Loui sia na. The members of the AAC a re th e De­v elopment, Alumni, a nd Public Rela­tion officers of the Universities a nd Col­leges of the United States a nd Ca nada.

-Three of the speakers at the Co n­ference were Miller Upton, President of Beloit College, Wisco nsin ; Robert C. Ma rdia n, Executive Director of the U. S. Presidents' Ca binet Committee on Ed­uca tion, a nd Genera l Counsel of the Department of Health, Educa ti on a nd Welfare; a nd Robert Morse, President of Case Wes tern Reserve University.

Upto n wa rned tha t there a re d a rk da ys ahead. He said: "There is per-

versity if edu ca ti o na l instituti o ns a re not fa ithful to their a u then tic respo n­sibility; their work wo n' t get do ne, o­ciety will suffer . . . the re po nsibili ty of edu ca ti on is to a dva nce lea rning, to prepa re the professiona l leadership of the na tion .. . colleges ca nnot solve all socia l issues !

Robert Marclia n stated tha t s tudent in general have not fo und a home in the very communi ty created for them. The renowned lawyer added: " There a re sto rm clouds, the s torm of death -wha t is wrong? The radical left ays "everything a nd the campus is our fo rum " ... theco nse rvative righ t say " radicals ha ve taken over our uni­versi ti e . " Four major cau es o f tu dent protes t a re: (1) brea kdown of religious beli efs; (2) indecisive goals beca use of war a nd the dra ft ; (3) break do wn of fa mil y relationships an d communica­tion ; (4) the educator has changed into the scientific investigator . . . the teach­ing assistant is most often the radical who graduated las t yea r ... the ing le mo t imp ortant factor in the lea rning process is the teacher- not libraries, not la boratories."

Th e President of Case Western Re­serve, Robert Mor e, told the delega tes : "Our traditional associa ti o ns are in question today. The m o ra l, eco nomic a nd social crisi of our times may be compa red with what brought on the Grea t Dep ression. In 19 70 the campus sig naled na tiona l crisis jus t as the tock market crash signaled lhe begin­

Throughout the conference, the va riou speakers exposed the major probl em a nd issues faced by Univer­sitie and Colleges.

wh ]ming re pon ibilities ca rried by campu admini stra tor in the fa ce of internal and ex ternal pre sure . They look now, however, for clear evidence of lessons lea rned by the applicatio n of institutional procedures which will pro­tect the communi ty of reason whi ch these publics cheris h. We upport the positi on s la ted by Professor Alexander Bickel of Yale:

"Heads of leadi nguniver itie .... hould announce their intentio n

to in ti tu te a reform which i the precondition of a ll other reforms: the use of cU ciplina ry power to keep cliscourse an d action wi thin the bounds of order. No more vandali m; no more assu ltive, v i­cious speech; no more incitement to violent action; no more bully­ing, simulated or actua l. "

To Facu lty: Alumni and other fr iends, who have looked with admiratio n a nd respect at the inte.llectual leadership of U1 eir f'ormer teachers, now eek ev idence of a resurgence of in titutional loyal ty which wa o long a hallmark in th e s trengthening of education in thi coun­try . At the same time, theconstituenci s we erve applaud faculty lea dership in the continuing evolution of the leaching­lea rning process. We concur in the recommendation of the ABA Comm is-io n on ampus Government and Stu­

dent Di sent when it s ta te : "The Challenge to the univ ersity community is o ne of self~ev a lu-

a tion an d self- reform. Ins titution of hig her lea rning mu st assess the va lidi ty of the compla int asserted by students a nd make lhechanges which a re required to meet the thrus t o f' va lid complaints a nd to serve the best interes ts of the insti­tution. The proces of self-evalu­atio n a nd self-reform can only be acco mpli shed within a climate of freedom of cU sent and freedom from cli so rder.

We believe it is facu l ty tatesmanship that will erve thi s end. To Studen t : The opportunity is now pre ented lo the vast number of res­ponsible, reaso nab le student to take the courageous but clifficult road of condemning and resisting the violence and destruction of campus radicals. This kind of s tudent s tatesma nship will receive the solid endorsement or fo rm er fell ow s tudents in particular a nd o ther publics in general. We chal­lenge those student leader s to lea d the way in ca rrying out Professor Bickel' s manda te:

" We mus t res tore conclitions in which slogans a nd mass emotion do no t drown out a nd driv e out rea o ned a nal y is; in which pas-iona te assertion is not au to ma tic­

a ll y seen as hig h-minded and pre­sumptively rig ht, whi le di s­passionate judO'ment i denounced a insen iti ve a nd presumptively imm o ra l. "

To Organized Alumni: Th e day of lip se rv ice to the need for a lumni a nd a lum nae " involvemen t" in the campus life or their chool, college or uni ver­si ty is -or should be- passed; there­fore, we ee the pre cnl moment as the approp ri ate time to adva nce th ose ways in wh ich a lu mni and alum nae a ssoci­ations ca n play a n even mo re active rol e in governa nce, academi c policy, and tudenl life.

At the same time, a lumni a nd a lum­nae organization have their g rea tes t opportu nity lo involve themselves in socia l action a nd conti nuing educa tion programs whith wi ll prov ide lea der-hip to combat what Ho wa rd K. Smith

ca ll s "the sen c of fru [ra tion that per­meate life today." We feel certain that thi s course of actio n will receive wide participation amo ng recent grad ua te of o ur chool , coll eges, a nd uni vcr­si ties.

To All Alumni , Alumnae and Other Friends: The educational institutio n of this country, rega rdless of their pub li c or private goverrunental s tructure, are national a set : to be improv d but not to be des troyed. During the recent period of unres t and uncertainty of a lm ost every campus in the nati o n, "constituent" loyalty and generosity has co ntinu ed - and in many case has increased. We urge every graduate, former s tudent, legislator and other fri end to follow th.i s exampl e during the months ahead so tha t tru stees, ad­ministrators, faculty member a nd stu­dents will see the clear evidence of continu ing goodwill that ha s been a traditional attitude of the publictowa rd education.

The American Alumni Council does not pretend to rep resent th e views of the millions of a lu mni and a lumnae in this country, or the th ousands or o ther friend of seco ndary school s, coll eges and univ ersiti es. Nor docs the Council pretend to speak for these educational institutions themselves.

What we do represent is the col­lective point of view of more than 3,500 admini trators and volunteers who seek to mobilize the goodwill of a ll exter na l constituencies in suppor t of more than 1,500 educatio na l in-

THE AL UMNUS .. . A NEW FORMAT .. .

At the April 13 meeting of the Board of Director of the Alumni Association, the editor of the then Quarterly m~ga­zine ' The Alumnus' was called upon to ta! k a bout the operation of the maga­zine in detail. This he did including budgeting, cos ti nrr, and a general out­line of the effi ciency of the magazine a a vehicl e for ca rrying information to you the Alumni body.

The result of thi talk was the im­media te ca ncellation of the Summ er i sue of the quarterl y and the sugges­tion that a study be carried out on o th er more effici ent and m ore economic meth ods or carrying information to the Alumni Body. Th.i s s tudy of course necessita ted the choice of another for­mat a nd fr equ ency of di s tributions which \\'Ou ld fit the fi xed budget on \\hich we a rc asked to operate.

This newsletter is the result or that s tud y a nd it is hoped by your Board of Directo rs tha t it will be more effi­cient in car rying the news about their activities, the activities at the College, and th e events des ig ned specificall y for yo u the Alumni Body.

This newsletter will appear ten times a year, the Xmas edition and the sum­mer edition combining two months each.

In a ddition to your 'hoped-for' con­tributions to thi s newsletter , the Board of Di rectors have put out feelers to the Faculty A socia ti o n, the Students' As­socia tion, and other interested parties to submit their views on issues and events.

Your con tructiv e cri tici m is re­quired to keep thi s new letter in shape a nd to improve it as time ela pses. As space permits activities at the College during the academic yea r will be pub­lished so tha t Alumnae a nd Alumni in the Montreal area ma y partake of their College's cultu ra l a nd popular acti­vities.

Th e 'Loyola Alumnus' is published 10 times yearly by the office of Alumni Affairs in concert with the Deportment of Development.
