Biological Sciences (Restructuring in New Brunswick),, 1975-1977

Acting Dean Brownlee and Dean Cobb.

Folder contents include copies of proposals, notes, memoranda, and correspondence.

Three issues dominate: Cell Research Center Proposal, merger of biological sciences and microbiology, and the debate over resource needs for teaching v. resource allocations to support research and resources for maintaining and upgrading physical plant and equipment.

There is evidence of both Dean's going to bat for this department, but Dean Cobb, as a scientist herself and a part-time faculty member teaching Tissue Culture, is particularly involved in the department's affairs.
