Title
1966 Yearbook
Description
FACULTY, 1965-1966
"The purpose of life is to matter, to be productive,
to have it make some difference that you lived at all."
These words of Leo Rosten are apt in reference to the
Faculty of Saint Ambrose College.
Usually unnoticed committee work is an important
part of the functioning of the college as an integrated
unit. Faculty elected members (three) serve on the Administrative Council with the officers of the Administration. Appointed committees range from Educational
Policy to Space Utilization and Student Personnel to
Student Discipline. During the current year the Teacher
Education Committee has prepared a report on teacher
preparation for the State Education Department.
The academic day has been lengthened in order to
accommodate degree candidates. One can fulfill degree requirements by attendance of classes between
2:00 P.M. and 9:30 P.M. on four days a week.
The cooperation of the Physical Education Department and the Athletic Committee brought the inauguration of the invitational holiday basketball series.
Faculty members have portrayed the College to the
Community through a series of TV programs directed
by Rev. Francis E. Marlin. All phases of college
academic activity have been presented.
Dr. Robert M. Corwin travelled to Georgia to present a paper at a national meeting of biologists. Rev.
Edward M. Catich continues to respond to the demands
for lectures and publishing. Father Catich has
established himself as a leading authority on Edvard
Munch, a giant of twentieth century art and letter cutting
into slate, the art of calligraphy.
Another milepost has been reached at St. Ambrose.
In the relatively long history of the College, for the
First time three lay professors have served full time
for twenty years: Dr. Prudent C. Coussens, Mr. H.
Shannon Boyd, and Miss Agnes C. Renner.
