XXIII, No. 21 Towson State College, Baltimore, Maryland March 19, 1971 ""...higher education must be shaken to the point of anxiety."" by George Weinberg Many changes have occurred at Towson State College since the appointment of Dr. James L. Fisher as President in May, 1969. Realizing this, Towerlight has conducted an investigation to focus attention on the noteworthy developments. Also realizing that because of time and space available to Towerlight, the investigation was limited to five-specific areas. They are: (1) a discussion with President Fisher concerning past changes and future goals of the college, (2) The Governance Committee which initiates college policy, (3) New academic developments since May of 1969, (4) a five-year plan for the college and (5) the role of institutional development. President's Reflections ""Fundamentally, I sense here now, a committment to being the finest undergraduate institution in the land."" These are the words of College President, Dr. James L. Fisher, spoken during an hour-long discussion with Towerlight. The conversation ranged from past changes to the future of TSC as an institution of higher learning. In the beginning of the conversation Dr. Fisher remarked that he personally hopes that this institution developed a program that reflects the needs of our society as they existed today and as they'll exist tomorrow. Pausing, ""The church and the cross,"" one of the many images portrayed by the Mime Troup Fisher contemplated, ""what has existed at Towson and in higher education must be shaken to the point of anxiety, of almost fear...to the point of critical self-examination and that means there will be changes; there have already been changes."" Continuing, Fisher emphatically stated that, ""these changes have not been wrought here by any kind of enlightened despotism. Rather. the changes that have come to Dr. James L. Fisher Towson in the past two years are a result of the anguishing, sometimes tormenting, but fulfilling efforts of faculty members, staff, and students working together for a better college community. It hasn't been easy; it always hurts when you bring change to an institution that has over a century of tradition...""
