"We can't afford the luxury of contemplation — to look around and savor the accomplishments of the past," he said.
THE COUNCIL, approximately 275 alumni and friends of the University, heard and approved a faculty committee's report proposing 16 projects urgently needed to improve the intellectual and physical capacity of KU.
The 16 projects are grouped under student assistance, faculty development, and supporting resources such as a law center, a new museum of art, a children's institute, a research library and acquisition funds for cultural departments.
"YOUR RESPONSE during the preparations for the meeting was great." Chancellor Wescoe told the council. "I think pride in this institution is the cornerstone of its alumni support. Some of that pride must lead us now."
The Council organized itself for action after Chancellor Wescoe spoke of the immediacy of the improvements.
"THEOSE OF US at KU are both proud of and extremely ambitious for our university," he said. "It is possible for a university like this one to resign itself to the role of being 'run-of-the-mill'—to say to itself that the chances of being great are so slight that it might as well relax and perform its duties in a methodical manner.
James R. Surface, provost and dean of faculties, reflected the attitude when he moderated a panel discussing "Opportunities for Greatness."
"The consequence of such an attitude is an institution which will be ranked as either mediocre or adequate. The history of KU reveals that it has never been willing to settle for either level."
AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE was appointed and Stanley Learned, Bartlesville, Okla., was named council chairman. The committee will formalize the suggested program and report to the Council at its next meeting, April 14, in Lawrence. Learned said the committee will meet within the next few weeks.
The actual campaign for funds will probably not begin until September of next year, Learned said. The multi-million dollar drive will be the first overall campaign in the history of KU and will probably continue for two or three years, he added.
