Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bureau of Extension of the University of North Carolina The work of the Bureau of Extension of the University of North Carolina is presented here as typical of what can be clone in making widely serviceable the resources of an institution of higher learning. The University of North Carolina, chartered in 1789, is one of the oldest of the State universities. Its genesis and development have been along the lines characteristic of the private, endowed institutions of the East, rather than those of the Western State universities. It is separate from the States college of agriculture, and so its extension activities are not associated with the many and important activities of the department of agriculture. It has a student body of 1,000 during the regular session, and an additional 1,000 students in a summer term. Its regular faculty numbers 75 and has always been notable for its scholarship and its research interests. The faculty has maintained for many years three journals of a scholarly nature, and has been steadily active in the representative national societies. These points are significant in giving orientation to its recently developed extension work. It is important to note that this development is not a record of attaching a new department of extension to departments of teaching and research, for the sake of superficial interest or "protective popularity"; but it represents the normal outgrowth of a concept of the university as an organism, and of the extension organization as merely the channel through which the inner life of the institution is given a chance to express itself fully in its environment. It rests on the assumption that the inner life must be sound and true to type to have anything of value to express in extension; and on the further assumption that, in so functioning fully and truly, it not only docs not injure the inner life, but strengthens and purifies it. On this belief as a basis, the extension work began as an organized department in 1912, with no special appropriation, and with no expenditures except for printing. The organization consisted of a committee from the faculty, under a chairman, the university librarian, Dr. L. R. Wilson, who has ever since been its directing head.
