{7:100:1273:I:78,339:2241,1722}To: Commission of Professors of
Adult Education Dow. September 7, 1971 From": Eugene E. DuBois Associate
Professor of Education, Boston University Subject Report on Finance Committee
Tn November, 1970, Chairman Griffith appointed a two man Finance
Committee (Professors DuBois and McClusky), This committee was
charged with the task of obtaining financial support for the activities of the
Commission. . After consultation with Mr. Jules Pagano, former executive
director of the Adult Education
Association of the U.S.A., the committee is pleased to report
the following: At its mid-January meeting in New York, the Steering Committee
unanimously passed the following resolution: In recognition of the improved
financial position and because of the special cooperative relationship of units
within AEA/USA, the Steering Committee recommends that priority be given to
fund, to as great an extent as possible within the guidelines of the 1971
budget, the present program needs of the Commission of Professors; and that the
Executive Director convey this action to the Commission with a request for
specific program needs and related costs. This resolution speaks for itself and
needs no further explanation. However, as Executive Director, I would like to
point out that, in accordance with the 1971 budget guide1ines, an amount not to
exceed $5lOOO is to be earmarked for implementing this resolution.

53706 Dear Jerry: I now have five
packages of Commission archives materials which I have received from you. At my
first opportunity I'm going to go through these things rather carefully. I'll
then forward them to Syracuse, Thank you for sending the formal request that
Syracuse library store the archives. Would it be possible for you to send me a
xerox of your carbon copy of that letter for the files of the Archives
Committee? . Regarding your question of whether I've made any progress in
developing a proposal to be submitted to AEA-USA for some of the funds they
promised us, I've been awaiting such a proposal by a student at Syracuse to do
a study of the Commission. I urged him to send a listing of his financial needs
to Gene DuBois and Malcolm Knowles at Boston University. I've dubbed these two
the Committee's fund-raising group, yet I think that is my own peculiar notion.
The student did not present any figures. Neither Gene nor Malcolm have
indicated any action. Therefore, I sense that progress is pretty much up to me
and thee on this one. I'm wondering if you think the AEA would be willing to
support a five year effort under my leadership to do a history of the adult
education profession in North America, with emphasis on the history of the
Commission. Here is my budget 5 year total of $2500): 1972 - $500 to provide
travel costs, meals, and lodging for me to make an initial survey of materials
at Syracuse Library and to arrange cooperatively with the Library for further
collection of material; xerography; blank tapes, and postage for getting tapes
of "the pioneers." 1973 - $500 to provide travel costs, meals, and
lodging for a trip to AEA headquarters in Washington, D.C.1 to review file
materials with stop-offs at Syracuse on the way and back.
{7:100:1276:I:102,297:2193,2247}2 Prof. J. Apps February 3,
1972 1974 - $500 to provide for a trip
to Syracuse Library, tapes, postage and student assistance for the project at
my home institution. 1975 - $500 for
telephone calls, tapes, possible trip to Syracuse or another document center
and student assistance for the project. 1976 - $500 for costs of typing
manuscript and possibly one last trip to Syracuse Library. It seems to me that
funding me with $500 per year and a total of $2500 would be a wise, yet
inexpensive, way for AEA to get this study done by an historian with an
understanding of the field. Based on such finding, I think I can also get some
further funds that would enable me fully to meet the costs I would incur in
this undertaking. Could you take this notion up with the AEA-USA soon to see if
this proposal is reasonable? If you would like further information, let me
know. I have not brought up this proposal with the rest of my Archives
Committee, but if negotiations with the student at Syracuse are any guide, such
involvement would be time-consuming and none too fruitful. If you disagree, let
me know. I'd like to get a proposal like this one in right now. When does the
AEA fiscal year start and end? If it starts in July, I'd like to amend my
proposal to start with 1973 and end with 1977. Looking forward to hearing from
you real soon with your reactions, advice, and notice of any action you propose
to take. Sincerely yours, Robert A. Carlson Associate Professor of Continuing
Education

Madison, Wisconsin 53706 U.S.A. Dear Jerry Thank you for your letter of January
5th and the material related to the Membership Committee of the Commission. I
apologize for my delayed acknowledgement of this; life has been hectic in these
parts but I have been busy working on the material. With regard to some of the
broader membership questions which you posed, I shall be in touch with the
other members of the Committee about these. I believe they are very appropriate
questions at this time and we should give them serious consideration. . Please
accept my delayed congratulations on your election as Chairman. February 2 1972 Commission of the Professors
of Adult Education Adult Education Association of the U.S.A. Eighteenth Street, N,W, Washington, D.C.
20006 Gentlemen: I am keenly interested in pursuing a career of teaching in
adult education. I hold a B.S. degree in Transportation, 1956, from the
University of Baltimore along with some post graduate work in psychology at
Penn State University during 1970-71. I am 47 years old with some 21 years, in
the field of Motor Truck transportation, as a salesman, office manager sales
manager. All positions have offered opportunities for experience in selling an
intangible, administration of personnel, recruiting, selection and training of
personnel, supervision and research. Have recently applied for and received
approval to teach a 16 week course in Transportation at Penn State University
under their Continuing Educational program for adults. This is, of course, a
part-time program. I would appreciate whatever information you could provide as
to the current full-time opportunities available for teaching adults. Or, if my
present background is not complete to meet the requirements for such
opportunities, then whatever information you have on graduate programs now
available in Southeastern Pennsylvania in Adult Education leading to a Master's
Degree. Also the possibilities of programs where one may teach and attend
graduate classes as the same time. Thank you for your assistance. Canterbury

University of Wisconsin College of Agricultural & Life Sciences 208
Agriculture Hall Madison, Wisconsin 53706 In response to your recent letter,
Jerry. . . the enclosed green brochure is probably the one to which Marian Brackney
referred. I picked up a supply of the brochures at the Commission of Professors
meeting just prior to Galaxy. As you can see, the brochures were printed
courtesy of Warner and Warner International Associates, Inc. My memory is
foggy, but I think Malcolm Knowles was responsible for their preparation and
printing. You might contact Malcolm and ask about the brochure's history. You
asked about names of committee members. I trust you mean the committee to
explore the feasibility of initiating manuscript series for the Commission. I
suggest the following committee, in addition to myself: Jim Farmer Virginia
Griffin Dwight Flynn Don Seeman. I have no proposal for AEA at the present
time, I think we ought to consider the Syracuse publication series and others before
opting for a program of our own. I plan to poll each of the above professors
for their reactions to the several alternatives available. I hope to have
something to offer in the way of a committee report at the Chicago meeting.

28, 1972 The black book? I agree -- let's clear it up at the Chicago meeting.
Let me know if there is move we should do. I will try to reply more promptly
next time
