Facu Ity-StaffUn ity
Urged By Rudder
“The goals of the faculty and
the administration must be the
same to accomplish the common
purpose of educating to the best
of our ability those who have been
entrusted to us,” A&M President
Earl Rudder declared Tuesday.
Rudder made the observation at
the university’s annual Faculty
Recognition and Awards Program,
where 14 faculty-staff members
were cited for outstanding
achievements and eight retiring
professors honored.
“We need to stop for a moment
and decide what to do in order to
accomplish our task at hand—the
task being to make Texas A&M
University a better place to edu
cate the youth entrusted to us,”
Rudder stressed.
“Give us a faculty that will con
tinue the educational process and
carry on . . . even though trouble
some times might occur,” the
A&M president asked.
Citing a Harvard professor’s
account of the recent disorder at
the Eastern institution, Rudder
expressed gratitude that A&M has
not been placed in the same situ
ation.
“But, should we ever be,” he
continued, “I pray that the sta
bility of our faculty and staff will
meet the challenge with restraint
and logical thinking.”
Rudder noted that on every
campus in the nation there are
those members of the faculty who
always seem to be against the
administration.
“Why,” the A&M president
questioned, “should the aims and
goals of the faculty be different
from the goals of the administra
tion?” He reminded the audience
that the goals must be the same
to accomplish the common pur
pose of educating the institution’s
students.
“Give us a faculty that will pro
duce for this desired purpose,”
Rudder added, “putting aside their
personal whims or petty jeal
ousies.”
He related the observations of
the president of a large midwest-
ern manufacturing firm following
a recent visit to A&M. The execu
tive noted the “wonderful hospi
tality . . . inspiring group of
strong teachers . . . clean and
sharp students . . . the staff is
brilliant and they are workers . . .
a stimulating experience.”
“Give us a faculty that will con
tinue to be hospitable, competent,
inspiring clean and sharp, stimu
lating, friendly, refreshing and—
most of all—great teachers,”
Rudder implored.
He agreed that Texas A&M is
not without its problems.
“But this, in a way ,is good,”
the president said .“Problems tend
to keep us alert and prepared.”
Rudder turned to the question
of teaching and research.
“Many say that outstanding
teaching is not being done across
the nation’s campuses because of
too much research,” he said. “This
is not true. There is no inverse
correlation between teaching and
research.”
Rudder observed that in most
instances the outstanding teachers
are also the best researchers. He
said the emphasis on teaching at
A&M is well evidenced by the fact
that 10 of the 14 awards presented
at the Tuesday program recog
nized teaching achievements.
