Northwest Baptist Theological College, Affiliation:
The President presented a letter from the North-
west Baptist Theological College, asking the University for a
land grant on the campus to build a theological institution in
affiliation with Simon Fraser. The Baptist College has also made
application to the University of British Columbia. U.B.C. are
drawing up a long range expansion program, and do not wish to make
any additional affiliations with theological or technical colleges
at the moment.
The President's reply to the request pointed
out that it was rather early in the University's development to
consider such an affiliation, particularly since in its early
years Simon Fraser will not offer courses in classics and the
languages required for a theological degree. Dean J.H. Pickford
of the Baptist College will visit the President to discuss the
matter personally, but no commitment will be made.
•
The Board of Governors discussed the question
of affiliations in general, and agreed that they could form no
policy at this time. The President was asked to acknowledge such
requests as they are received, gather all pertinent facts on each
case, and to advise that the Board has the matter under study.

Report of University Librarian
Copies had been sent to the Board members of the
Librarian's development plan, organization chart, and progress
report. The Board objected to the use of the word "commissionaire"
to describe the person who will be on duty in the library to check
the students' books as they leave: it was felt that this was a
misleading title, and that the progress report should read merely
that "books will be inspected." There was also some discussion
about the proposal that the Bookstore be included in the Library.
After some further discussion, the report was accepted as being
given its first reading.

Mr.
Bakerts
submission on the estimated number
of faculty required for an initi'j erolment of 2,000 students had
been sent to all Board members. Th'e'cBoard were asked to approve
the appointment of three quarters of this number by December of 1964.
'/L &t
The Chancellor suggested that the requirements
should be set out by each department. Drs. Kendall, Pate and Nelson
will be visiting the University soon and faculty requirements will
be discussed with them; as well, the President will bring up
this matter with the four Department Heacin Europe during his visit
near the end of the month. The Board were advised that faculty
requirements for Education, Pnysical Education, and Fine Arts,
have not been included in the submission. However, now that Dr.
MacKinnon has been appointed as Dean of the Faculty of Education
he will be able to outline his requirements.
It was moved, seconded and adopted unanimously:
That the recommendations of the Director of
Academic Planning for faculty requirements be
accepted, and that authority be given for the
appointment of three quarters of the number
required, by December 1964.

Academic Calendar:
The Board discussed the proposed academic calendar
drafted by the Registrar. The Staff and Organization Committee
had suggested that the proposed three day study period be cut down
.
to
two days; the Chancellor suggested further that the study period
be omitted, with the extra time being added to examination time.
It was agreed that an effort should be made to keep the final
weekend before examinations clear for the students to study.
The Board questioned the need for the proposed
Simon Fraser Day, and suggested instead an Open House or something
similar. They also discussed the time of Congregation.
This was the first reading of the proposed
calendar. A revised paper will be discussed by the Staff and
Organization Committee and brought to the Board meeting in October.
6, 4-G
Graduate Studies:
The Board has received copies of a recommendation
for the early establishment of a graduate school at Simon Fraser
University. Dr. Haering was asked to attend the meeting to support
his
recommendations. In general, the Board were in agreement with
the proposals. However, it was suggested that it would be unwise
to identify a "graduate school" at this time, because the name
might give rise to the misunderstanding that a formal school has
been set
up under a Dean, Instead, Dr. Haering was authorized to
announce that graduate work up to and including a PH.D degree is
offered at Simon Fraser University in specific departments. As well,
it was agreed that graduate degree courses should be listed in
the general calendar and not in a special calendar of graduate
studies.

Simon Fraser Day:
The Committee recommended that the Board give
further consideration to establishing a Simon Fraser Day, or a
similar day on which lectures would be cancelled, to provide a
long-weekend break in the Spring Semester, It was moved and
seconded:
That' a day to be known as Simon 'Fraser Day be
set aside in the Spring Semester, to coincide with
a weekend, when lectures will be cancelled.
Upon a vote being taken, the motion was declared
LOST.
Further discussion ensued, during which the Board
agreed that perhaps a particular day, not in conjunction with a
weekend, should be designated as Simon Fraser Day,which could be
used for a visitor's day or Open House, without cancelling lectures.
It was moved, seconded, and adopted:
That a day be designated as a visitor's day, to
be known as Simon Fraser Day, on a suitable date

Programs in Faculties of Arts and Science:
Mr. Baker presented the proposed programs for
.
the Faculties of Arts and Science, drawn up according to the suggestions
of the Heads of the Departments in the two Faculties. In the
suggested programs, the Science student may elect one or more Arts
courses, and an Arts student may elect Science courses.
The programs did not provide a compulsory in
English or a foreign language for Science students. Mr. Baker said
that it was hoped that a professor, on finding that one of his
students is poor in English compostion, will require that student
to take the English course.
The Board discussed the programs in full, and
agreed that it would be advisable for Science students to take a
course in English composition. If this is not made compulsory, the
Board felt that exemption should be allowed only where it can be
shown, by a suitable test, that the individual student is already
sufficiently proficient. It was suggested by Mr. Hean that. a
special series of lectures could be scheduled, designed for Science
students, which would include English, the Humanities, and the
Social Sciences. Mr. Hean also said that he would like to see the
Arts students receive some knowledge of the sciences.
The programs for the two Faculties were referred
back to the Staff and Organization Committee for further discussion
and revision.

ments for the degree of M.A. (Ed.) These changes represent a

examiner.
