"Our Depositors Are Building Alaska'
SECOND OF A SERIES
Ford Foundation Helps
U of Alaska With Funds
By CHARLES J. KEIM
In 1958 when President Er
nest N. Patty and the Univer
sity of Alaska board of regents
decided to embark upon a study
to determine the design for
the development of the insti
tution’s program and plant for
the next half century, they
held two strong convictions.
These convictions were: (1)
The study should be made
while the University still was
young and flexible enough to
meet the needs of the state
without undergoing an expen
sive and time consuming over
haul. (2) Experts from outside
Alaska should make the study
which should be financed from
funds raised outside the state.
Thus, there would be no "axes”
to grind, and the study would
be completely unbiased and ob
jective.
W ho would provide the
funds? Who would make the
study?
The University applied to
the Ford Foundation which
provided $25,000 for the study
Another $5,000 came from Ed
ucational Facilities Laborator
ies, Inc. With the funds se
cure, the University then care
fully looked about for person
nel who could make the ob
jective study and report.
Institutions with problems
somewhat similar to those of
Alaska’s had found ready help
at the School Planning Labora
tory of the School of Education
at Stanford University. Coor
dinator of the Laboratory and
director of the Western Re
gional Center of Educational
Facilities Laboratories, Inc., is
Dr. James D. MacConnell, pro
fessor of education at Stan
ford. The University of Alaska
hired him to coordinate the
Alaska campus planning stud
ies. His educational consult
ants were Dr. Glen Kendall,
president of Chico State Col
lege, California; Dr. Raymond
C. Schneider, associate direc
tor of the Western Regional
Center at Stanford, and Don
Kenny, research assistant.
" ■■■■■.. ... .
Architects who would plan
the physical layout of the cam
pus w'ould be Mario Ciampi,
Lawrence Lackey and Don
Knorr from San Francisco. Al
askan residents may recall that
Time magazine recently feat
ured a color section of out
standing campus buildings all
over the nation, several of
which Ciampi and his asso
ciates designed.
The Ford Foundation and the
Educational Facilities Labor
atories informed the University
of Alaska that they were in
terested in helping the insti
tution itself, and they stated
that they “are also interested
in the techniques of planning
that can be explored here and
used by other universities in
planning for additional
growth.”
