The President's Report 1991-1993.
Harvard Univ., Cambridge. Office of the President.
This report summarizes the results of Harvard University's academic planning process that took place from 1991 to 1993. An introduction outlines the process's basic goals: (1) to maintain and strengthen Harvard's excellence in education and research and to sustain its leadership position; (2) to remain open and accessible to the most outstanding students and scholars of all backgrounds and points of view; and (3) to serve society by helping to address the most important problems that confront the nation and the larger world. Part I of the report describes the planning process, discusses major trends for change that challenge the University, and defines guiding purposes and parameters. Part II discusses the Arts and Sciences, specifically college life and its curriculum, residential life, and teaching; fields of knowledge, and major projects planned. Part III addresses the professional schools at Harvard and examines professional education in general and specific initiatives. Part IV describes university-wide efforts in internationalization, inter-faculty initiatives, and libraries and information technology. Part V examines how to keep Harvard open and accessible to people of all backgrounds and points of view and particularly discusses the College, the graduate and professional schools, and faculty and staff diversity. Part VI is a conclusion. A necrology of recently deceased faculty members and overseers is attached. (JB)
