Vice-President (Academic). -- 1874; 1926-1970; predominant 1965-1969. -- 292.1 cm (23 cases).
Dr. Bailey served as Vice-President (Academic) at the University of New Brunswick from 1965-1969, during a period of dynamic expansion and radical student activism. Under President Colin B. Mackay, who served from 1953-1969, UNB experienced rapid growth, with the construction of several new buildings and the creation of new faculties, courses, and programs, the construction of a new library, the development of research centres, and the expansion of graduate studies. The cultural life of the university also was enhanced through the appointment of resident writers, musicians and artists. Politically, the university underwent rapid transformation following the passage of a new UNB Act in 1968, which lead to a major reorganization of administrative structures and brought increased student and faculty participation in university politics.
The bulk of this series comprises office files which were generated by Dr. Bailey during his term as Vice-President (Academic). Included are memos and correspondence, letters of application and curriculum vitaes, nineteen sixties agendas and minutes of meetings of departments and university governing bodies, review articles, newsletters and offprints, financial reports, and general reports of departments, faculties, and organizations affiliated with the university or with secondary education.
These files document the administrative life of the University of New Brunswick during the nineteen sixties, and reflect the general movement towards democratization of university government during this period. The activities of various academic offices and services, including the Awards office, the Accommodations office, the Comptroller's office, the Registrar's office, and Graphic services, are recorded in this series, together with the day-to-day operations of the governing bodies and the departments, faculties, and schools within the institution.
Arts Council minutes for 1966-1970 (case 57 files 4-5, case 58 file 1) include discussions about regulations, curriculum changes, the introduction of a credit system, plans to establish a separate fine arts department and introduce new courses such as Russian, and the construction of Tilley Hall. Efforts also were made to separate joint departments such as sociology and anthropology and economics and political science into individual departments.
The Board of Deans acts in an advisory capacity to the President on issues such as student discipline and appeals relating to academic standing. 1968-1969 minutes of the Board of Deans (case 60 files 6-7) discuss efforts to develop a school of social work at UNB and a proposal to establish a program for Loyalist studies and publications. 1969 minutes focus on the Strax Affair, and include a copy of the 27 December, 1968 judgment by Mr. Justice J. Paul Berry of the Queen's Bench Division of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick with regard to the suspension of Dr. Norman Strax.
Under the structural reorganization of the 1968 UNB Act, the former University Council was reconstituted as the UNB Senate, and the old Senate became the new Board of Governors. The post-1968 Senate became responsible for the academic affairs and overall general welfare of the university. Minutes of Senate meetings from 1968-1970 document the slow and often bitter process towards democratization of the UNB governing structures, with increased faculty and student participation, and recognition that the Senate must be more accountable and open to the university community at large. 1969 minutes detail the struggle for student representation on the Senate, and the activities surrounding the Strax Affair.
Reports and nineteen sixties minutes of various Senate committees, including Academic Planning and Campus Development and the Creative Arts Committee, also are included in the Senate files.
Board of Governors' 1969 minutes (case 59 file 11) focus on discussion of the Strax Affair. Other documents and news articles relating to the Strax case are found in case 80 file 22.
Files relating to the School of Graduate Studies document the inauguration of post-doctoral fellowships in 1967 (case 71 file 1), the creation of the new position of Associate Dean of graduate studies in the same year, and proposals to create new PhD. programs in psychology and history and to establish research institutes such as the Fire Centre. The increased status of the School of Graduate Studies and the support for academic research are reflected in the report of the special Senate committee on the proposal to establish a computer science program at UNB following the establishment of the Computing Centre in 1964, and in discussions centring on the 1968 establishment of the Muskeg Research Institute for peat analysis (case 79 files 1-2). 1966-1970 minutes of the School of Graduate Studies Executive Committee are found in case 71.
The series also contains historical information relating to the establishment of the Fiddlehead magazine in 1945. In 3 June, 1966 correspondence with the Hon. Arthur A. Wishart, the Ontario Attorney-General, Dr. Bailey discusses the poetry club which he established at UNB in 1940, and the subsequent founding of the Fiddlehead magazine (case 60 file 1). Other material related to the Fiddlehead publication (case 64 file 4, case 73 file 1) includes correspondence with Kent Thompson, then editor of the magazine, Dr. Bailey's resignation from the Board of Editors in 1970, an application for a Canada Council grant, minutes of the 1968 and 1970 meetings, and an article written to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the launching of the magazine by Dr. Bailey and Donald Gammon.
Case 60 file 2 contains information on Arthur St. George Richardson, the first Black to attend the University of New Brunswick.
Material related to the Fiddlehead magazine also is located in series 3 case 95 file 3.
Restricted access applies to all Arts Council minutes.
