A.G. Norman: The Regents appointed A. Geoffrey Norman to succeed Ralph A.
ViorPesearch Sawyer as Vice-President for Research, the appointment to be effective
August 1, 1964.
In recommending the appointment, the Vice-President for Academic
Affairs said:
The Vice-Presidency for Research in the University is a staff position calling
for administrative skills of a high order. Research itself is conducted within schools,
colleges, and institutes by scholars who, together with their peers and the administrative heads of these units, are responsible for choosing problems and establishing
the standards of performance. It is the primary duty of the Vice-President for
Research to develop with appropriate consultation the research policy of the
University and to establish the administrative procedures which permit research to
be done with maximum effectiveness. It is our belief that Professor Norman's
past experience, his clear understanding of the research function of the University
and the conditions under which it thrives, and his dedication to having research
and teaching mutually reinforce each other, make him an ideal candidate for this
demanding post. Those of us who have had occasion to work with him in the past
are certain that he will establish effective relations with the Deans, Chairmen,
Directors, and individual faculty members on whom the research efforts of the
University depend.
Until the projected construction has been completed and a suitable
successor has been found, Professor Norman will continue as Director
of the Botanical Gardens.
