The Unrealized Potential of American Higher Education
Astin, Alexander W.
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1991, 34 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword . . . Astin states convincingly that resources and reputation do not address, in credible ways, the education of students and the development of individual talents. He contends that while resources and reputation are important, we must go beyond such indices to excellence in educating students and serving the public interest.
The Mature but Anxious University: Hungry, Captive, Politicized, and Deconstructed
Conkin, Paul K.
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1992, 26 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword. . . . The challenging title of Dr. Conkin's lecture is but one indication of his commendable perspective on the issues of higher education and the depth of his scholarly insight into the problems and concerns of contemporary universities. Throughout the lecture Dr. Conkin's appreciation of the university's historical traditions, its social, economic, and political problems, and the complexities of multiculturalism is clearly evident.
College Teaching: What Do We Know About It?
Cross, K. Patricia
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1990, 26 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword . . . In her lecture Dr. Cross discusses her continuing interest in college teaching and its improvement for the benefit of students. No scholar or researcher in higher education has done more than Dr. Cross to stimulate a more active interest in student learning, and no one can bring better credentials to the challenge of improving college teaching.
The University As Trinity: Balancing Corporation, Collegium, and Community
Downey, James
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1995, 21 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword . . . The provocative title of Dr. Downey's lecture is but one indication of his scholarly insight into the problems of contemporary institutions. Much to our delight, his views of the university complements in many interesting ways the lectures given on previous occasions. In all seven lectures there is appreciable faith in the university's future and confidence in its continuing development.
Collaborating for Children and Schools: The Role of Higher Education
Graham, Patricia Albjerg
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1989, 28 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword . . . We are indebted to Dr. Patricia Graham for the exceptional manner in which she has inaugurated the annual lectures honoring Dr. McBee. Dr. Graham's lecture is especially appropriate and it is particularly relevant to the future of higher education. Neither the host committee nor the attending audience could have asked for a more stimulating, more challenging lecture for the occasion.
The Value of Sport in Our Society
Hedges, Barbara A.
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 2000, 24 pages
From the Foreword . . . The major concept of this lecture is the emphasis on opportunities provided through athletics for all students, particularly for women and minorities during the past thirty years. These opportunities have provided unparalleled access to higher education. Hedges ends the lecture with the premise that sport is the great equalizer . . . because it also provides a level playing field—the rules are the same for everyone. When the court has the same measurements, when the goals are the same height, when the distances run are equal, and you play with one ball and one set of rules, the winners and losers can accept their fate.
Once and Future Partners: The State and Its University
Lyall, Katharine C.
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1996, 21 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword . . . The numerous highlights of Dr. Lyall's lecture underscore the mutual benefits of effective partnerships between state government and public universities. Her professional experience and her scholarly insight are explicit throughout her lecture, and her closing statement is well chosen to emphasize that "the state and its university must work together, learn together, and assist each other."
Shulman, Lee S.
Fostering a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Athens: University of Georgia, Institute of Higher Education, 1998, 15 pages, complimentary
From the Foreword . . . Dr. Lee S. Shulman, President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is a national figure in higher education.
