Address of welcome given before the Fifth-fifth Annual Meeting of the American Association of University Professors (Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 2, 1969).

This paper emphasizes the college role in student development in areas other than intellectual competence. Autonomy, identity, and interpersonal relationships should be main concerns of the college. The campus environment can directly affect student development through the curriculum, residence halls, evaluation methods, and student-faculty…

This study was made to see if junior college students' needs or perceptions of environment differed from those of university students. From high school graduates within a certain district, a random sample of underclassmen was taken, half at the junior college and half at the university. Stern's Activities Index and Stern and Pace's College…

In studying college effects, an input-output model is commonly used in which student input is controlled by using regression analysis to compute an "expected" output. The part correlation of the college environment variable and the output with input variance removed only from the output is interpreted as a measure of the college effect. However,…

The current movement in higher education to embrace collective bargaining has not yet reached broadly into the South and the West. Several events have occurred both nationally and in these regions, however, which seem to foretell that organized neogtiations may become a part of regional campus procedures. The implications of these events, as well…

Following an overview of the study, Chapter II traces the…

This paper examines educational research on student development and discusses some of the reasons why this research has had so little impact on actual educational innovation. These include: (1) failure to anchor research within a more general model of development; (2) lack of in-depth descriptive and phenomenological studies of students that would…

The success of an orientation leader depends upon three things: an understanding of the college, an understanding of the entering student, and an ability to communicate and empathize. The purpose of this report is to examine the psychological world of the new student through the words he uses, the meaning they hold for him, and the impact they…

Investigating attitudes toward residence hall living (staff, atmosphere, and rules and regulations), 40 men and 40 women completed attitude scales. Three comparisons were made: on-campus versus off-campus students, men versus women, and life styles. Results show that on-campus and off-campus students significantly differ in their perceptions of…
