SERIES DETAILS

Series identifierMON44Series titleFaculty of Arts Dean's correspondence related to establishment of the facultySeries descriptionA selection of key items of correspondence relating to the establishment and development of the Faculty of Arts. Included are the principal academic considerations, pre-requisites, the first courses to be taught and priorities for the filling of chairs and academic appointments. Administrative organisation is also discussed, in particular the structure of departments. The correspondence was written or received by Professor Scott and from 1966 by Professor Manton. A key issue evident from the correspondence is the adoption of a language or science subject as a pre-requisite for admission. Other subjects include curriculums; budget estimates; selection for new chairs; the establishment of the Centre for South East Asian Studies in 1964; faculty structure; proposals for an Institute of Languages; selection statistics; proposal for an MA by coursework; and papers of the Selection Committee for the Chair of Law. An additional item is a complaint by Oscar Mendelsohn about the quality of teaching in anthropology at Monash.Date range1960 - 1968Series typeUniversity SeriesLinear metreage0.03Format, size, conditionfoldersKeywordsClaytonFaculties & Departments
