president's Commission to Study Heart Disease, Cancer, and Strokes.

demic Center from April 5-6 (Permanent Minutes, Volume El, Page ) until November 24-25, 1964, and (3) the--academic status of the direc-

torship of athletics.

PRESENTATION OF PLAQUES BY STATE LAND COMMISSIONER AND REOE TS MADDEN AND RENAN

SADLER: CHAIRMAN HEATH ,,~, ntleman known to all Texans" --Chairman Heath presen~eQ -~= ~ ~e State Land Commissioner S~ler. Commissioner Sadler, who had requested to discuss a matter with the Board, addressed the Regents

at this time:

Mr. Chairman, University Regents and Other Friends:

There are three solid reasons why I am here today.

The first - I appreciate any unselfish service and every per- formance of good citizenship. There is much too little of it. There is J'on the other hand, much talk of what must be done

if Texas is to solve challenges of the future. We all agree about those challenges, even to what they are. But I fear we take too much of the approach which Mark Twain said typifies

the attitude of the average man about the weather. He talks

about it all the time but does nothing to change it.

The men we are here to honor do something, and at no regular compensation - instead at a pe~-sonal sacrifice. They have accepted responsibilities which have returned only trouble and sometimes even public disapproval to their predecessors- One must carefully examine the footnotes of history to find the names

of any university regent.

But, if our statesmen are to be taken seriously - and I believe they should be in at least this one instance - I am here to commend three men struggling to improve our State's facilities for higher

education. I salute them for it.

I'3-64

Next is my selfish reason for wishing these gentlemen to get proper recognition: I have had close association with them in

a function vital to all Texans. It has been a pleasant and rewarding relationship. My associates in the Land Office join heartily in this expression. Gentlemen, it has been good to work with you. As we say in East Texas, you haven't dragged your weight on your end of the saw. I have three cer- tificates to award today, and, if and when history is written right, all three of these names will be listed there, too. For W. W. Heath, Wales Madden, and Walter P. "Spike" Brenan

have served on the Board for Lease of University Lands. They have shared with me the responsibility of leasing and collecting royalties from the Z, 200,000 acres assigned to the University of Texas and other state-supported colleges. I won't list all the other participating schools, but I understand that one had q u i t e a b a s k e t b a l l t e a m . My a s s o c i a t i o n wi th these g e n t l e m e n h a s b e e n b r i e f , a s such s e r v i c e is u s u a l l y measured, but since January i, 1960, a total of over 55 million

dollars has been deposited to the University Permanent Fund.

That is sufficient testimonial of any leasing board's efficiency but I am not finished. I won quick and solid support from these gentlemen, especially Bill Heath, in increasing the University's minimum royalty from one-eighth to one-sixth. That promised

at first to become a focal point of controversy. But Messrs. Heath, Madden:and Brenan have not wavered. Now the reserva-

tion is considered fully acceptable.

According to the best estimates of our petroleum engineers, this difference of I/Z4th per cent royalty will eventually mean at least $103 million dollars more to the University and_ it_~s associated schools in the next--Z5 years or over 4 rnilliun a year

a v e r a g e i n c r e a s e .

This action may even turn out to be as valuable to the University

as keeping Darrell Royal as football coach.

I am proud of these gentlemen and of v~hat they have meant to the State function I administer. All of us dedicated to uplifting Texas education, both in public schools and in State colleges, join with me in these tokens of appreciation for service over

and beyond the call of duty.

At the conclusion of his remarks, CommiSsioner Sadler presented indi- vidual plaques beautifully prepared to Chairman Heath (a former member

of the Board for Lease of University Lands), to Regent Madden (Vlce- Chairman of the Board for Lease), and to Regent Brenan (member of the

Board for Lease).

APPRECIATION EXTENDED TO STATE LAND cOMMISSIONER SADLER. these plaques in turn expressed to Commissioner

--The recipients of for his thoughtfulness in taking out time for this Sadler appreciation recognition. Regent Redditt moved, and upon second of Regent Gonnally it was unanimously adopted, that the Board in return express its a pprecia- 4+

tion and gratitude to the State Land Commissioner for his service as i Chairman of the Board of Lease of University Lands by the adoption of a resolution to be signed by all members and a copy to be transmitted to

Commissioner Sadler.

pOLICY FOR HOUSING CONTRACT, M.AIN UNIVERSITY: PETITION BY FORMER VICE-CHAIRMAN CLAUDE VOYLES AND JUDGE JAMES W. McCLENDON" -- The Honorable Claude Voyles, former Vice-Chairman of the B oard~0f Regents, and Judge James W. McClendon, both repre- senting the Executive Committee of the ScottishRiteDormitory, appeared

before the Board.

Mr. Voyles presented Judge McClendon who reviewed the relationships that have existed between The University of Texas and the Scottish Rite Dormitory since the latter originated in 19Z0. He reported that the notice of the action, taken by the Regents at their meeting on Febru- ary 8 was sent from the office of the Dean of Student Life, dated February Z8, and delivered by messenger on March 3, 1964. The amendment as passed by the Regents on February 8 provides that hous- ing contracts for all on the University-approved list that bind a student for the long session must make a provision for him to terminate his agreement at the end of the fall: semester by (a) giving written notice by 5:00 p.m., January 15, and (b) forfeiting his room deposit.

Judge McClendon stated that contracts for 1964-65 have already been sent out and he earnestly petitioned the Regents to rescind the action taken at the February meeting. He suggested if the Board thought the matter should b~ investigated further that steps for such investigation be taken but asked that this action not be effective September 1964.

(See Secretary's Files, Volume XI, Page , for a copy of his

presentation. )

Following the request by Judge McClendon, Regent Redditt moved that this matter be taken under advisement. There being no objection, it

was so ordered by the Board. ,i

REPORT OF INTERIM ACTIONS OF EXECUTIVE cOMMITTEE, FEB- RUARY 8 - MARCH It.--Committee Chairman Brenan presented the

following report of actions that had been unanimously approved by the Executive Committee since the Board's last meeting on February 8:

REPORT OF LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM BY CHANCELLOR.-'In response to a request by Regent Olan for a report on the liberal arts program since

the adoption of the Report of the Committee of 75, Chancellor Ransom

presented the following:

This comment on the present state of the liberal arts at The Uni- versity of Texas is made at the request of the Chairman, following a suggestion from Rabbi Olan. The point of the original request,

as I understand it, is that the Board be brought up to date on prog- ress made in these fields since the Report of the Committee of 75.

Let me make t h r e e g e n e r a l points f i r s t .

In advancing the l i b e r a l a r t s , it is a m a j o r obl iga t ion of any uni- v e r s i t y to pay a t t e n t i o n to e s s e n t i a l but changing r e l a t i o n s h i p s be tween t h e s e a c a d e m i c d i s c i p l i n e s as they a r e f o r m a l l y o rgan ized and o the r d i s c i p l i n e s which i n t e r a c t with these a r t s in the l i b e r a t -

ing p r o c e s s of e d u c a t i o n .

It is not a n e w d i s c o v e r y of u n i v e r s i t i e s t h a t s c i e n c e is one of the b a s e s of o u r c u l t u r e • H e n c e one of the U n i v e r s i t y ' s m a i n ob l iga t i ons is to s u p p o r t t h a t i n s e p a r a b l e i n t e r e s t . We h a v e done so, in f i e l d s a s d i f f e r e n t a s m a c h i n e t r a n s l a t i o n of l a n g u a g e and c o l l e c t i o n s on the h i s t o r y of s c i e n c e . We h a v e a l s o s e e n the s t eady g r o w t h of l i b e r a l i z i n g i n f l u e n c e s in the m e d i c a l s c i e n c e s , law, b u s i n e s s , e n g i n e e r i n g , e d u c a t i o n and o t h e r a r e a s not u s u a l l y l i s t ed in c a t a l o g u e s y n o n y m s f o r R a b b i O l a n ' s q u e s t i o n .

Second, T e x a s h a s f a c e d w i t h e v e r y o t h e r u n i v e r s i t y the w i d e l y r e p o r t e d i m b a l a n c e b e t w e e n s u p p o r t a v a i l a b l e to p r o g r a m s wi th i m m e d i a t e s i g n i f i c a n c e to n a t i o n a l ,:~nd l o c a l i n t e r e s t and p r o g r a m s s o m e t i m e s l u m p e d u n d e r the t i t l e " H u m a n i t i e s . " I th ink we can c l a i m t h a t no o t h e r u n i v e r s i t y h a s c o m e n e a r e r to the c o r r e c t i o n

of that imbalance than The University of Texas.

Third, we have confronted the need to experiment - especially in

areas where independent "creative" work is a primary measure of vitality. Wherever we could - through budgetary arrangements, gifts, and grants - we have given the writer, artist, or lone thinker

a chance to move without the harness of mere routine.

We intend to continue all three of these policies.

On matters less involved in semantics, we have seen progress of a kind which I think the Committee of 7 5 and the joint Committee on Expectations would hardly have predicted. Taking the prelimi-

nary and final reports of these two groups as a basis, here is a

checklist on that progress. =

i. It was hoped that the University would provide better

facilities for work at all levels in drama, painting and sculpture, language, and criticism. That hope is partly

realized. The new drama building and experimental theater, the art building and University gallery, the nota- ble improvement in theater collections, the Linguistlcs Institutes, and the new Linguistics Department are partial

evidence. Less visible, but more important, are the programs of research and instruction which these facili-

ties have fortified.

2. The committees strongly supported the Administration's suggestion that libraries and library collections be improved•

The Academic Center planned specifically for undergraduates, major additions to research collections, and the improvement of branch libraries followed. We are still desperately short of s p a c e f o r the (~\en e r a l L i b r a r y and we a r e s t i l l o b l i g a t e d to

p r o f e s s i o n a l o p p o r t u n i t i e s of U n i v e r s i t y l i b r a r i a n s . improve the ~ ,

3• The committees urged the further development of publication programs. The record of the University press since that

time has put it among the top university P ublic'~'ti°ns organi- • Three periodicals in the liberal arts

zations in the country _ ~:I^ Texas Studies in have been founded meanwhile= - and Literature, Arion, and the Texas Quarterly. I think we have exceededt~'expectati°ns of'---the committees in these areas,

but we have no intention of standing still. ,+

4. The committees were concerned with the level of depart- mental growth in the verbal disciplines. They would not be disappointed in 1964. Departments as different as Clas- sics, Philosophy, and Germanic Languages have taken long strides toward eminence. We should keep facing the fact, however, that recruitment of able humanists in many areas is quite as difficult as the recruitment of scientists. Hence every university is learning painfully that it is one thing to build a department in the liberal arts and another to sustain

it. Both processes are'necessary.

These are heartening facts, and enlivening obligations. There are still other general problems which the Committee of 75 discussed

and some of which it addressed directly.

I. The chief is the need of time and the opportunity of indepen- dent study for both students =nd faculty. The University is vividly aware of this problem, and we have tackled it. It

is only partly solved.

Z. There is no substitute for good teaching_, from the freshman required course to the doctoral semina.. This problem has also been confronted. Special awards now symbolize the importance of teaching. Those awards have been multiplied

by ten. Twenty-one members of the faculty have been pro- moted to full professorship chiefly on their success in the lectu+re room and the seminar. We have made some progress

in the use of technological aids to teaching. We have upgraded both the professional and the budgetary status of the teaching assistant. We still have an obligation to support each dean and each departmental chairman with new plans and new deter-

mination to improve instruction.

3. The committees were concerned, and we stay concerned, with the opportunities offered every educable student. In many practical matters, such as living quarters for married

students, improvements of public lectureship, and organiza-

tion of conferences we have come a long way. A goal that keeps receding, however, is the provision of a sufficient number of scholarships and fellowships - especially in the liberal arts not supported by federal or industrial grants.

If you wish a prediction, I will m ++ke a cautious one. We cannot do e v e r y t h i n g a t o n c e . We c a n n o t do a l l we w a n t to do in a n y one : a r e a .

REPORT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE (See Page ZZ for adoption.). __Committee Chairman Redditt presented the following report of the Buildin.~s and Grounds Committee~ indicating those items which were approved as submitted and indicating amendments to the Administration's recommendations ~,as proposed by the Buildings and Grounds Committee and/or the Medica :/'Affairs Committee.

The items relating to medical installations were approved at a joint meeting of the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Medical

Affair s Committee:

your Committee on Buildings and Grounds submits the following

report:

Medical Branch: Rejection of Bids on Floors Four, Five, and S~x of Outpatient-Clinical D~ostic Building; Special Committee Appointed. --As reported to the Board at the meeting held February 8, 1964, bids for the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Floor s of the Outpatient-Clinical Diagnostic Building at the ~4edical Branch were to be opened on Feb- ruary Ii, 1964, and authorization was givenlor the Executive Committee of the Board to award a contract for this project. When these bids were opened and tabulated as shown on Pages 37-39 , it was found that they were all in excess of the f--unds available for the£project. Also, each bid was qualified by a note stating that the bid was based on a remq uirement that certain provisions in the spec- ifications would be deleted and oi~er provisions substituted

therefor.

The recommendation by the Consulting Architect, Jessen, Jessen, Millhouse, and Oreeven, the Associate Architect, George Pierce and Abel B. Pierce, Doctor Truslow, Mr. Walker, Comptroller Sparenberg, and Chancellor P, ansom was that all bids be rejected, that the Associate Architects

be instructed to revise the plans and specificatlons to ht the project within the funds available, that, upon the recom- mendation of the proper administrative officials, the Executive Committee of the Board be authorized to approve these revised plans and specifications, and that after such '~"

approval the Comptroller be authorized to advertise again for bids, to be presented to the Board at a later meeting.

The Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Medical Affairs Committee jointly approved this recommendation as submitted with the understanding that the bids were being r e j e c t e d b e c a u s e t h e y w e r e in e x c e s s of the funds a v a i l a b l e

• f u r t h e r u n d e r s t o o d t h a t the B u i l d i n g s for the pro2ect" It was ,~ : ..... "~ate the cir cumstances

. ~ - ,'ommittee woula ~,-~t1= an(~ ~rounos ~-' surrounding the bid opening, particularly the conflicting statements by the Houston Office of the Associated Gen- eral Contractors and the Associate Architects in regard to the reasons why very similar statements qualifying the bids and changing the specifications were', included in each bid. In this connection, Committee Chairman Redditt named a special committee of Regents Erwin, Brenan, and iV[c~eese

to carry out the investigation.

all concerned, the following recommendations are made by Doctor Truslow, Mr. Walker, Comptroller Sparenberg, and

Chancellor Ransom:

On Proposal "A" award a contract to the low bidder, The Abel Stationers, Austin, Texas, in the amount of $79,498.37, on the basis of that company's "Alternate Bid No. Z", shown as, Bid No. 3 on the tabulation sheet. Of the three proposals submitted by The Abel Stationers, this was the lowest bid which was in compliance with

the specifications.

On Proposal "B" award a contract in the amount of $6,161.85 to the low and only bidder, Plill-Rom Com- pany, Inc. , Batesville, Indiana. This was the only bid received on this proposal, although copies of the speci- fications were sent to six companies that handle hospital

equipment.

The total of these recommended contract awards is $85,660. ZZ, which is well within the amount allocated for this purpose.

Main University: Approval of Rev~sLl d f)nal Plans and Speci- ~ ~oor L'~11a B Etter Alumni House. --In accordance wlth

authorization given by the Board at the meeting held Septem- ber Z8, 1963, the plans and specifications for the Lila B. Etter Alumni House at the Main University have been revised, in an effort to bring the cost of the project within the amount available, $Z60,000. These plans and specifications have been approved by the Main University Faculty Building and Space Allocation Committee, Mr. Maguire, Executive Director of the Ex-Students'

Association, Doctor Haskew as Chairman of the Project Com- mittee, Messrs. Sparenberg, Hackerman, and Ransom in their usual administrative capacities, and by the Special Committee appointed by the Regents at the meetlng held July 13, 1963, con- sisting of Comptroller Sparenberg, Vice_Chancellor Hackerman, Vice-Chancellor Haskew, Chancellor Ransom, and Regent Erwin. Although the Special Committee was given authority by the Regents to approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertising for bids, Regent Erwin has requested that the plans and specifica- tions be presented to the Board for final approval before bids are

taken.

It is, therefore, recommended that the Board approve the final plans and specifications for the Lila B. Etter Alumni House as revised by the Associate Architects and approved by those listed above. It is further recommended that Comp- troller Sparenberg be authorized to advertise for bids to be presented to the Board for consideration at a later meeting.

M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute: Additional R-eental Space in the Hermann Garage Building.-~.It is recom- mended by the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Medical Affairs Committee that the proposal as set out in the following letter from Doctor R. Lee Clark to Doctor H.H.

Ransom be approved:

"At the present time we are leasing Z0,86Z square feet of ground level space in the Hermann Garage Building at 6414 Fannin Street, Houston, Texas. An adjacent additional I, 536 square feet has become available by transfer of the offices of the occupant, Clemmensen Brothers and Associates, Inc. , a real estate investment firm, to another section of the city.

"This space is offered to us on a sub-lease basis under the contract of Clemmensen Brothers with the

Hermann Hospital Estate at a cost of $661.56 per month (approximately $0.43 per square foot). The lease is in two parts and expires on December 14, 1965,

and February 15, 1966.

"We have need for this additional space to accommodate

the e-.opanding facilities and program of our Computa- tion Laboratory, which now is immediately adjacent to

it.

"It is therefore recommended that we be authorized to complete the necessary contractual documents with Clemmensen Brothers for sub-lease under terms, and for the period indicated above, the recommended source of funds to be from grants and the effective date to be

April I, 1964.

"We have been assured by the Hermann Hospital Estate that a lease agreement can be negotiated with Ihena for

the additional period of time we might require th:s area prior to the completion of the additions to our present building. Negotiations are underway at this time with Hermann Hospital Estate for this contract for the additional time. This negotiation will be submitted for

consideration at a later date. "

Southwestern Medical School: Danciger Research Laboratories Building - Proposed Purchase-of Cobalt Unit. __Quoted below

l~s a letter from Doctor A. I. Gill to Doctor H. H. Ransom.

"As you will recall, some years ago Board approvalwas obtained, in the course of long-range planning for this institution, to use up to $I,000,000 of Permanent Uni- versity Fund bond proceeds, and the 58th Legislature, Regular Session, 1963, recorded its approval. Among other things for which this might be used, as approved by the Board and subsequently by the Legislature, was

radiation laboratory facilities.

) - 1 4 - 6 4

"A problem now exists and I wish to request your approval and that of the Board in obtaining $55,000 of the amount authorized for procurement of high intensity radiation source equipment. It is our oipinion that the most eco- nomical and satisfactory high intensity source is a cobalt

unit which can be obtained for approximately $55,000.

"As you know, the Danciger Laboratory Building, cur- rently under construction, has provided two carefully planned properly shielded radiation laboratory spaces and our present request is for the necessary funding of

the equipment for one of these rooms.

"It }-.as been our interpretation of the regulations that this type of equipment was not a part of the building proper and that we would be required to obtain this separately. We do not think that there is any source of funds now available to us for this equipment and we believe that the necessary teaching and research activities in the field of radiation biology can not go much further with-

out this vital equipment.

"This is the first request w.Lich this division of the Uni- : versify has ever made for funds of this type to be derived

from the resources of the University System. "

The recoro~endation made by Doctor Gill that an appropriation of $55,000 be made from Permanent University Fund Bond Pro- ceeds for l he purchase of a cobalt unit, for use in the Danciger Research Laboratories Building under construction, is concurred

in by Comptroller Sparenberg and approved by the Regents' Buildings and Orounds Committee and Medical Affairs Committee.

Mr. Chairman, I move adoption of the report.

REPORT BY CHAIRMAN ON THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH. __Chairman Heath presented the following report on The Uni-

versity of Texas Medical Branch. This is the second in a series of

reoorts that he is making on The University of T<~xas system:

REPORT BY THE CHAIRMAN

Part II - Medical Branch

At the February meeting of the Board of Regents, I reported on the assets

of the Main University, its progress over the past five years, and our plans for its future. I stated that additional reports of the trusteeship of the Board of Regents on the other units of The University of Texas system would follow. This report relates to The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Reports on the dental and other medical institutions and on Texas Western Colleg'e will be made at later meetings.

The Medical Branch was created by the Legislature March 30, 1881. It was located in Galveston by vote of the people of Texas. The School of Medicine opened in 1891; the School of Nursing in 1897. In its 73 years the School of Medicine has graduated 4, 924 physicians; the School of Nursing has graduated 1,788; the School of physical Therapy, 110; the ;~

Schools of Medical Technology, X-ray Technology, Occupa%ional Therapy and Medical Record Technology, more than 3(]0. 10Z have received a Master of Arts or a Master of Science in Nursing and 2.4 the Doctor of

Philo s ophy.

The campus now is a modern medical center of 30 buildings with, plans approved for major expansion of facilities for teaching, research and

patient care.

THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE FACULTY

During the past five years eleven departmental chair~men~ twelve other

senior professors who have attained top eminence in their fields and fifty younger scholars have been recruited to a faculty at The Univer- sity of Texas Medical Branch that has gradually changed its complexion from a predominately part-time one, especially in the clinical areas,

to a full-time one dedicated to teaching, research and patient care.

The average salary has risen in five years from about $9,500 to slightly

over $12,000 in the School of Medicine and from less than $6,000 to more than $7,400 in the School of Nursing. This average is too low in a highly competitive market. Eight new medical schools are in the

process of recruiting a faculty with others in the formative stages. Turnover in faculty has declined the past five years and three resigned

to assume chairmanships in\fther academic institutions.

Despite ~ salary aeficits the faculty can be vi~ed h ith pride in relation to their accomplishments in teaching, in reseErC and in patient care.

In the period 1959 to 1963, faculty part icipat ion in organized r e s e a r c h increasedin d o l l a r v o l u r n e g l % f r ° m $1,044,463 to $1,995,517. Grea te r increases are envis ioned when new r e s e a r c h space, a l ready authorized, is completed. Outstanding results of research carried on in the clini- cal as well as the baBic science areas are discussed further under

,,Distinguished p rogram. " .̂ ~

Members of the faculty serve as consultants for all three branches of the

armed forces and seven serve on USPHS adgisory groups. More than fifty members of the faculty have been invited to participate actively in conferences abroad to present their own original scientific work.

AC ADEMIC STANDARDS

In January 196Z, the School of Medicine was visited by the Liaison Com-

mittee on Medical Education of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges and approval was given to continued full membership in the Association of American IV[edical Colleges. The following excerpts are highlights from tlAe survey committee's report:

,:= "The committee gives special commendation to The University of

Texas Medical Branch for its effective faculty operation and departmental

procedures. "

* "The experience of the Liaison Survey Team would ihdicate that the

quality of stud~hts is good and their morale is high."

* "The library seems quite adequate for research and other scholarly

pursuits. ___Attention will be required to remedy the inevitable pro-

blems of over-crowding-" "" Is ....

* "The school has utilized well tKe~linical facilities of the hosp~taff • F

ento .~vailable for teaching a~e entirely * "At the present time the patl --

adequate in number for the education program and the student comple-

ment. "

* "The Liaison Survey Team wishes to commend The University of

Texas Medical Branch for the philosophic concepts underlying the new

c ur r ic uluro-. "

* "The expanding program in association with the Graduate School at

Austin is to be commended and will be an important aspect of the edu- cational opportunities and recruitment of faculty in the basic sciences

depar~,r~ents. "

The faculty of the School of Medicine h~s revised and adopted one of the most versatile curriculums of a medical school today. Consideration was given to student interests and abilities, the time required from high school graduation to medical practice, and the rapid advances in the medical sciences. The program is designed to offer a sound, basic medical education which will equip the graduating student for further

study in his chosen specialized area.

-zg-

7 8 a

)= 1 4 " 6 4 i 4

The curriculum utilizes the full calendar year rather than the traditional nine months and provides five ten-week elective terms during which students select, according to their special interests, such areas as basic research, full-time graduate study, clinical clerkships in special.ty areas or a preceptorship, Four of the five elective terms may be taken on or off campus, at another medical school, in a hospital or research laboratory or in special study in foreign medical schools, research

laboratories, mission hbspitals, etc.

15y utilization of our teaching hospitals in a school year extended to

twelve months, our nearly 1,000 beds are greatly increased.

The new program also includes an accelerated feature which permits a limited number of especially well qualified students to utilize their elective periods for regular clinical clerkships and complete the require- ments for the M. D. degree in three calendar years. An attempt is being made to salvage those students who are well qualified to become practitioners of medicine but who got off to a slow start in the first year. The faculty was justifiably concerned with our high attrition which had averaged over 1690 during the preceding ten years. With more qualified applicants, more careful selection of the entering class and individual attention by the faculty, this figure has been reduced slightly less than

7°70 in contrast to a national average of 10%.

SCHOOL OF NURSING

The School of Nursing was visited by the Board of Review of the National League for Nursing in October 1961, and accreditation was granted for another four-year period. The School was commended for its leadership

role.

After several years of intensive study in 1959, two major changes in the curriculum ~vere instituted in the School of Nursing. The diploma pro- gram was phased out with the last class graduating in June 1960. In

September 1960, the sophomore year of the basic program leading to the baccalaureate degree in nursing was moved to the Austin campus. The enrollment in that program increased from 49 in 1960 to 159 in i~63. Nevertheless, the enrollment on the Galveston campus in 1963(i00) is slightly more than that for both programs in 1959 (98), and increases are expected to continue onboth campuses. Twelve (IZ) students are

working toward the degree of Master of Science in Nursing.

This program was materially strengthened in the fall of 1963 by increas- ing the program to three (3) semesters With the first two semesters on

the Austin campus followed by a third semester on the Oalveston cam-

pus. Enrollment in this program is expected to increase.

With increased salaries, an.outstanding nucleus of nursing faculty has been achieved. Filling faculty positions, however, becomes increasingly

difficult s ince t h e r e a r e not suff ic ient nu r se s p r e p a r e d at the graduate level to fill the national vacancies. Salaries are still low competing in

the na t iona l m a r k e t p lace .

- 30 -

i:: : 784

-14"6& 4

Faculty members are active participants in the State nursing organi-

zations, the Southern l~egional Education Board, and in National nursing activities. They receive numerous invitations to present

papers at regional and national:meetings.

The students h,a .ve consistently made among the top scores on the exam-

inations given by the State Board of Nursing Examiners.

In 1961, the U. S. Public Health Service Awarded the School of Nursing a five-year grant for the study "Performance Variables in Collegiate

Nursing Education. " This study should have a major impact on

Nursing Education.

Through a grant from the %V. K. Kellogg Foundation, the School of Nursing sponsored the formulation of the new Junior College Nursing Program with the first school at Odessa Junior College. Assistance

will be given to the establishment of two more programs in the near

future.

DISTINGUISHED PROGRAM

The University of Texas Medical Branch has led among Southern Medi- cal Schools in giving recognition to academic excellence in student perforr.-ance. The Alternative Program permits those students who rank in the upper one-third of their class during the first two years of work to utilize elective terms for regular'clinical clerkships and thereby graduate in three calendar years. The year saved can be spent either in graduate study or in postgraduate medical training. In this five-year period, Z4 medical students have completed the requirements for a mRS- ter'S degree in the basic sciences and more than 50 others have taken

additional graduate work.

Newer developments at the Medical Branch are numerous. The estab- lishment here of 'the Shrine Institute for Burns will provide the first hospital in the world exclusively for the treatment of severely burned

• • " a roximately $3,300,000 will provide hos- children. Facihtles costlng pP ..... :-n=d for the study and treatment pital space for 30 patlents in a unlt u~=~ of severely burned children, for research in problems related to burns and for training of medical personnel needed to care for burned patients.

After surveying Z1 medical schools, The Shriners of North America ' recommended location here. The assistance of The Sealy and Smith ¢" /

Foundation on this p roj ect was invaluable.

The Isolation of I rn-vnunizing Antigens from Cholera Organisms by our microbiologists represents a contribution of the first order to medical knowledge. The impact of this discovery upon the history of Southeast Asia and other areas which have experienced Cholera epidemiCS can be

valued only in relation to the thousands who die from this dread malady

each year.

of Dermatology and Internal Medicine, gives promise of a cure for Trichinosis. This represents the first reported cure for this disease

brought on by infection with the parasite Trichinella Spiralis, which is found in undercooked infected pork. It is estimated that 17 per cent of Americans have been affected by this disease and roughly one case in

20 is fatal.

The Fifth Annual Student Research Forum will be held on our campus May 8 with 50 to 60 research papers presented by our students and by .... . tives from other medical schools. A spontaneous effort of

-;=nts four years ago, this Medical Branch Program has our~/

inspired the initiation of similar programs on other campuses over the

country.

An lnteragency Contract with the Board for Texas State Hospitals and Special Schools gave the Medical Branch responsibility for the operation of the Moody State School for Cerebral Palsied Children. This arrange- ment provides an excellent opportunity for training not only medical students, but also technicians, nurses and graduate physicians in the

specialty of handicapped children.

The University of Texas Medical Branch was recently selected by the Galveston Chamber of Con%rnerce for its first Salute to Industry, recog- nizing the Executive Dean and Director, Doctor John B. Truslow) his Administration, the faculties, and the staffs of the Medical Branch, the largest employer in the city, for its outstanding contributions to the

medical, economic and social well-being of the community.

The research program at the Medical Branch has been given new impetus by the award of a seven-year grant by the National Institutes of Health

for the establishment of a 10-bed Clinical Study Cex~ter. This center 1 ~ ~. with full- time is designed as a multi-disciplined cli~iical research area

personnel and service staff, a core s~irvlce laboratory and attached

research laboratories.

Research and patient care in the Department of Radiology have assumed a new significance with the prospects for installation of a new Cobalt Unit and a 55 million electron volt Brown Boveri Betatron in the new out-patient building now nearing ccmpletion. A Markle Fellowship award was made last year to a junior member of the faculty in this department.

I wish it were possible to list all who have contributed so much in money, time and effort to the program of the Medical Branch, but they are so numerous space requirements make this impossible. We do wish to express our gratitude not only to the loyal ex- students of the Me dical -; Branch but also to the many others who have been so generous in their

support.

CHILD pSYCHIATRY

An Interagency Contract has been entered into with the Board for State Hospitals and Special Schools for the establishment of a Child Psychiatry Unit at th ~-4edical Branch. The Board for State Hospitals

position to render the necessary professional services and to recruit and train professional per sonnel and provide basic graduate and refresher programs in child psychiatry, psychology, social work, nursing, and training for school teachers of the emotionally disturbed

child.

Successful treatment of emotionally disturbed patients is in almost direct ratio to how early the treatment begins. To cur shame Texas has not had a single hospital bed for the treatment of emotionally disturbed children- iV[any of them spend most of their lives as charges on society in and out of reform schools and penitentiaries, or as chronic patients

in overcrowded mental hospitals. Many are in such a state of regres- sion that they are mistakenly placed, and live out their lives, in schools

for the mentally retarded.

The first step in reclaiming as useful lives is research into the problem and the education and training of specialists in the field of emotionally disturbed children. Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses,

and teachers must have special training.

Admittedly our start is on a small scale, ~,at the longest race starts with the first step. If my tenure on tb~ ~c/-~oard and the Texas State Board for Hospitals and Special Schools accomplishes nothing more than my small part in constantly insisting on the beginning of a pilot program to end the disgraceful neglect of our emotionally disturbed children, I will consider my time not to have been spent in vain but to have been richly rewarded. As I think of the outstanding accomplishments through the years of the Department of Psychiatry, my hopes rise for this new pro-

gram.

LIBKARY :.J

The Medical Branch Library ranks among the top twenty in the nation based on the number of bound volumes and current periodicals received. Current space severely limits its use and the possibilities for expansion. A new Library building has been included in the long range development plans and it is hoped that some agency will soon assist in providing funds

for this urgent need.

TIIE SEALY & SMITH FOUNDATION

Few medical centers in the nation are blessed with the cooperation, sup- port and vision of an organization with the stature of The Sealy & Smith Foundation and its able and dedicated Board. This Foundation has been a major resource of the Medical Branch in the development of pro-

grams supportive of patient care and patient services.

Gifts by the Sealy Family prior to 19Z6 and The Seaiy ~ Smith Founda- tion subsequent to:that date total $17,Z57,Z64.96 with additional commitments +(as of December 31, 1963) in the amount of $3,847,467.00, making a grand total C~f commitments and gifts as of December 31, 1963,

of $Zi,104,731-96.

In addition, The Sealy g~ Smith Foundation is constructing a professional office building of ten (I0) stories directly adjacent to the Medical Center campus at a cost of some $4,000,000. A large portion of the practicing profession invblved in our teaching programs will be concentrated in

this facility.

CONC LUSION

The University of Texas Medical Branch has come a long way from the days when abandonment of the Galveston site and removal elsewhere was most seriously considered. Problems still exist, but they can and will be solved. They fade into proper perspective when the major strides of progress and accomplishments are considered. Confidently, we look

to the future.
