Historical Note
The Basic College, established in 1944, encouraged liberal education and integrated thinking. It required students during their first two years to take classes in the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities before deciding on a field of specialization. In 1960 the Basic College became the University College. The Effective Living Department was part of the now defunct Basic College. “Effective Living” pertains to the social, moral, and civil responsibilities of living, primarily as they relate to the family.
Scope and Contents note
The collection consists of 11 volumes of Effective Living course syllabi and readings; original minutes of the Basic Education Planning Committee and the Curriculum Committee (March-May, 1944); a “confidential” report of an undated faculty survey relating to the establishment of the Basic College and the Effective Living courses. The collection is arranged chronologically.
The collection also includes unpublished annual reports for 1945-1953.
