William James College Interviews
GV016-16
Interviewer: Barbara Roos
Interviewee: Tom Cunningham
Date: 1984
Part: 1 of 2
[Barbara]
Okay, the first question I have for you then is: Why James?
[Tom]
Why William James? As the name of the college? Well, actually he was… I
thought him last rather than first. I thought about the entire structure of the
college first and the notions of the college should be. I think I'd coined the
phrase… yes, in fact, I know I was. Coined the notion of psychosocial humanism,
rather than scientific humanism, or more classical humanism to describe what I
thought would be the appropriate type of curriculum for our own day and had also
coined the notion of college should be future-oriented, and person-oriented, and
career-oriented. It is evident that we didn't want to go around call me in College
III, that was the name of the task force I was asked to head. And so, what name?
It's easy to name something before it's founded, then to name it after it's been in
existence for a length of time. College of Arts and Sciences had not gotten a
name, and apparently would never get a name for that very reason. There are
too many persons that had a stake in this name or that name. It's like guessing
what name to give that before it actually started. I had happened to have been
reading about that a year before that some works on William James. I'd read
James twenty years before as a phenomena – as a pragmatist. But some works
by John Wilde particularly. From the Universal of Cal… University Florida. He
had been at Harvard and Northwestern, he's a phenomenologist. He had written
a rather interesting book on James as a phenomenologist. I never thought a
James in that connection before and so it occurred much of the ideas that I had.
Mainly the concerned with psychology, even social psychology. And the concern
of manufacturing your own persona. So, it was a natural but when I had thought
of the materials concerning psychosocial humanism and the other things that I
wrote about, even talked about the divisions of the college that would come
about. The emphasis on environment and so on. I had no name in mind. But then
when push came to shove, I thought we better get in name before the college we
founded and James just came to my mind. I had a difficult time convincing the
committee to go for that name, to tell you the truth.
[Barbara]
What did they want?
[Tom]
They had nothing in particular. But it just looked like I was doing too much.
Someone wanted to name it after a guy named Maxie. I don't know I think it was
a Maxi training school for boys in the Detroit area. Some had some frivolous
names, I thought. But I think much of it seemed to me that I looked like I was
�having too much to say. But I thought James was a natural name for the
orientation that they had voted on and was only a matter of time before they
came around to recognizing it. I said: "Yeah, it would be an appropriate name."
[Barbara]
Maybe you better go back.
[Barbara]
I asked the wrong first question. Tell me what the charge was, and how you
came up with the notions for the character of the college.
[Tom]
Well, I had finished my first year teaching here at Grand Valley, and sometime in
the late summer or early fall I received a phone call from the President. And I
knew it was him because my wife was about to have our first son as it turned out
to be. President found me and asked me would I consider heading a committee
to found a new college. The task force was in charge – College III task force. My
inclination as a first-year faculty, having completed my first year as a member of
faculty here was: one does not lightly turn down any of the President's requests.
And truth to tell, I always have been interested in educational activities. I have a
master’s degree in education among my degrees. I'm history and theory of
criticism of universities. So, I thought this would be a time to put my ideas, if I had
any, into practice. But of course, I had asked the President: "What do you want?
What's the charge?" And there was a written charge, and it's written in the
documents. But I thought more revealing was a conversation that I had with the
President. I had completed my first year teaching at Grand Valley, and was about
ready to start my second, And the president had completed his first full academic
year Grand Valley. And was beginning to do his second. He had become
president about eighteen months previously. Basically, had obviously had to
learn this terrain, and the existing colleges on campus. There were two at the
time: College of Arts and Sciences, and Thomas Jefferson College; and having
grasped that, understood that then the obvious for him, too. I say it's obvious
now, looking back, was for him to look at the founding Grand Valley State
Colleges and to look to what was considered to be unique in the colleges. So, I
give him full credit for that. He first took charge of the colleges that existed and
then he very adroitly moved to begin a third college. Grand Valley apparently had
been founded to have four relatively similar size colleges. That was the founding
image twenty-five years before. Each college apparently had two or three
thousand students total of between nine and fifteen thousand students on
campus. That was the notion on the colleges were founded twenty-five years ago
now. So, he said to me: "I have two bits of advice." He said: "One of them is I
want to college that would enroll a large number of students, and then I would
also point out to you that we do have one small college here in campus. Thomas
Jefferson College." I think what he meant by that… I didn't think to inquire any
further the times. I think what he meant by that was that the College of Arts and
Sciences, at that time, enrolled something like twenty-two hundred students.
Thomas Jefferson college had perhaps two maybe three hundred students. So,
�the time two college is one of which enrolled between eighty-five ninety percent
of its number students on campus. The other college, because of its nature,
seemed unlikely that would enroll much more than three hundred students.
[Tom]
So, it seems me he was getting me a charge to have a larger college, then
Thomas Jefferson and it's possibly the college’s largest is the College of Arts and
Sciences. That in turn meant that look and see where students who have to
enroll from then try to excogitate from those factors the likely orientation of the
college. So, it seemed to me that the College of Arts and Sciences seemed
rather traditional. You could either duplicate that, or else one can attempt to
make something different. I chose to do the latter and make something
somewhat different. But yet stick to the President's charge. It was to make
something that would be different than the College of Arts and Sciences. But
make something that would also enroll a significant number of students. With that
in mind, the whole thing was my fields my students were interested in. I majored
in philosophy, teach philosophy, and since I majored in physics as an
undergraduate, and have some degrees in physics, history of science I should
say, it seemed fairly evident that the college should not focus on physical
sciences. A number of people majored in physical sciences. Very small to begin
with. They tend to be traditionally oriented and therefore one of the orientations
that some of the committee members wanted, namely, to focus on environmental
sciences seemed to me to be misdirected. I have nothing against the
environment, I enjoy environmental sciences. But the sheer fact of needing to
know, in any serious way, work in environmental sciences – you need to know
biology, geology perhaps, certainly chemistry – meant that you were going to
limit the number student who would major in fields like that. Feels like time since
we had one college [inaudible] all about the sizes which had very few majors and
those fields seem to have it and we were not in this particular area. [Inaudible]
another college I would have… would be competing for the same small pool. So
we're not being [?]. Environmental sciences, in my mind, should be the focus of
the new college. It should contain that, it seemed to me, as a program, but not as
a complete focus. Some had thought of focusing the college on the University of
Wisconsin's Green Bay which is focused on Environmental Sciences. Others had
attempted to focus the college pretty much on, as I would say, Thomas Jefferson
College had been focused. Namely imitating Evergreen College in Washington
state, as a possible way of organizing college too but it tended to be a small
college, and therefore seemed to me that that would not obey what the President
had laid down. So, the notion… once again I'm concerned about the persons and
the focus on Evergreen College, and colleges of that sort aren't developing a
person… seemed to me to be utterly and totally important and of grave concern
for anyone in our own day. Where the sense of the self is more problematic
perhaps than in previous centuries, and where the students who would come to
us would tend to have a more diffuse identity than students at more traditional
colleges. It seems to me that students come to Grand Valley as students in
�general in our around modern age do not come from a [?] background, do not
have what sociologists I think all described notions, rather they achieve their self.
[Tom]
And so it seemed that rather than having a college where one would fit in
because one's grandfather had gone there, or because one was a member of a
certain class. You would really have to have a college in which some opportunity
would be provided to assist the student to grow as a person and that the notion
of a person oriented it also cemented the notion in my mind of psychosocial
humanism. So those two things work together. However, psychosocial humanism
also borders on how one gets along with people in social context, not merely how
one develops internally. And therefore, it seemed to me that one could use this
facet to develop the person. To recognize a person's development communities.
To recognize also that communities have functions to take care of and so,
granted that the one focus or one division of the unit on Environmental Sciences.
And another concern with Social Relations, it seemed fairly evident that Social
Relations would have in generally a larger market for possible auditors than say-Environmental Sciences. However, Social Relations… there are a limited number
of jobs. Large, but a limited number of jobs for sociologist and even a
psychologist it appeared to me. But most of the jobs in our own age, and
throughout history have been concerned with business. People seem to forget
that. I happen to have degrees in history of science, and one of my specialties
was in studying Babylonian clay tablets. They're about ten to fifteen thousand
clay tablets, about as big as your hand with inscriptions on them. And everyone
remembers, whoever studies the history science, those are Babylonian clay
tablets which talk about astronomy. Or talk to some degree about how the
geometry. Really looking on the… what do they say, the Pythagorean theorem.
Square of the hypotenuse equals how many squares of the other two sides. It's a
famous tablet that shows that in algebraic form shows these triads. But, as a
matter of fact, of those ten to fifteen thousand tablets there's only about two
hundred tablets which would be called scientific. There's another hundred two
hundred tablets which should be called, oh, casual. There's this one tablet that I
remember reading where this student is writing home asking for money.
[Laughter] Fits in with what we normally think of student life. but leaving aside
those for five hundred maybe a thousand tablets which have to do with what we
would consider intellectual matters. The great plurality of the of the tablets had to
do with a simple computation. Business dealings, they were business records.
So, I'm saying in Babylonian epics, in our own epic, the tendency of society is to
have business and social concerns or service concerns attached to some sort of
records and keeping records. It seemed fairly evident then that, like it or not, the
business of America is business. As one of our former presidents said, and
therefore most of the jobs would be in business. So, I had the third and most
important part of the colleges, it seemed to me, would be in what I named
administration and information management. I like acronyms so it was AIM –
“Aim.” I had also copied this, I must say from a professor at Dartmouth College
�who later became its president, John Kemeny, a great mathematician.
[Tom]
So, it seemed to me that the largest of those three units with these administration
and information management, and that would where be where William James
College would have the largest number of those majors. I have to admit that's
one thing I had not entered my mind was to have media group but, as soon as
it’s proposed by a committee members I certainly assented. It seems to me that if
William Shakespeare were alive and writing today, he would be writing as Lucas
does or any of the cinematographers who would be writing for cinema or for
media. So those four units seemed to me to fit in a nice package. Administration
and information management being where most of the jobs would be concerned.
Those who would work in such professions would learn about how to govern
people, and how to govern themselves from such relations component. They
would learn a deeper reflection on man from their emphasis on psycho-socio
humanism. And they would also learn about the world in which they… members
by the concern for environmental science.
[Barbara]
This may be a troubling question. Did you do any marketing research as they
would be running around doing today?
[Tom]
Did I do what? Market?
[Barbara]
This came from your sense of things. Did you run out and test these notions?
That this would be where the students were.
[Tom]
Well, in in a very indirect way. One of my roommates in college is a fairly
significant, at that time, was fairly significant member of IBM Corporation. And I
consulted with him informally over the phone. I also did read the literature.
Seems like one of the easiest things to do rather than make your market
research is to read literature. Much has been printed before by persons whom we
could not afford to hire. So, I did a great deal of reading in what was written about
universities. From the beginning and then studied particularly Canadian
universities over the last twenty years. Because Canada underwent an enormous
expansion between nineteen forty-five and nineteen sixty-five with their
universities. For a very narrow base, classically oriented universities, to a much
broader set of universities that was encompassing. That we're allowing for a
person who never come to college to go to college. So, I did reading rather than
having survey done.
[Barbara]
We're going to run out of tape. We have another tape it’s just that we just don't
want to interrupt an open answer.
[Camera operator]
[Inaudible]
�[Barbara]
We have another five minutes? Okay.
[Tom]
My face was not very mobile, was it?
[Barbara]
[Inaudible] I'd like to ask. Would you say something briefly about synopticity,
which seems to have started right away.
[Tom]
About what?
[Barbara]
Synopticity?
[Tom]
Oh, yes. That was actually--I liked that very much.
[Barbara]
And then your comments as someone from the outside do you think we grew in
the right way or did we get skewed off? And then something about the courses
that were working against the success of the college. If you have any
observations on them.
[Tom]
Alright.
[Camera operator]
[Barbara]
This is not the right tripod. [indistinct mumbling]
[Inaudible] It’s not the right tripod.
[Camera operator]
Okay.
[Barbara]
So authenticity seems there from the beginning.
[Tom]
Oh, yeah. Yes, the synoptic lectures here. That was probably the third thing of
which I'm most proud in attempting to develop within James. It seemed to me
that the most difficult thing for a regional college is how to keep the faculty active.
And it's for that reason I designed the synoptic program. The synoptic program I
envision would be rather similar to actually what William James had done. In the
gifted lecture series, that were later titled, “The Variety of Religious Experience.”
A way to bring to a… to Edinburgh a matter of fact, in James' case. To bring to a
campus a visiting dignitary who it in ten twelve days open up his entire mind and
give you his view of the universe. And I call them synoptic lectures. They would
take place here at Grand Valley. I recognize them as highly significant to the
students. I think the most important thing you can do for students to give them a
view of the universe. That it allows people to tie together in some sort of a
fashion. The diverse notions they have and to make an intellectual synthesis to
the degree they have as well. About their entire status, and the entire stance to
the universe. But I really thought of it is crucially important for the faculty. Grand
Valley State College is in the middle of the peninsula. Grand Rapids is a good
�size city, but it's not a metropolis.
[Tom]
It doesn't have the resources available to it as Chicago, or New York, or Detroit.
And so, to me, it seemed to be crucial to keep the faculty active; to have a variety
of persons from the faculty over a period of years would pick. As becoming some
master teacher in their field to come to campus and to enunciate to students at a
common level, not a technical level. The great ideas the faculty had. And I was
following a man named Jerome Bruner. A good cognitive psychologist. In fact, he
was one of the synoptic lecturers I had invited, as well Jean Piaget, who said
that: "One can always explain, in a decent way, any idea at a level that would be
capable of being understood by a particular audience.” So, that was the whole
notion of a synoptic lecture: to give us a view of the universe for the students, but
also to give the faculty chance to plan ahead for the great mind that they would
consider dominant in that field. Plan ahead for that person visit to initiate students
in that, and of course keep the faculty active. So, in a sense, I was looking to the
faculty. Students come and go after four years. But the faculty can be here for
twenty years. And it could easily turn over old ideas many times, unless one had
stimuli from such great minds. Such as Jean Piaget, or a person like that.
[Barbara]
Would you comment on your observation from the outside that the development
of our college…
[Tom]
Well, I guess, I did stay outside William James College. I tried to start off as best
I could, you know with the committee. We did the best we could to get it going.
And then I thought once you hire faculty, let the faculty do what they considered
best. And obviously the fact that they proceeded in the certain direction. I think I
would express concern. Seemed to me that the faculty either did not understand
or did not pay attention to what President Lubbers said and asked in his first
year. Namely that it would be a large college, and that it would enroll a wide
variety of students in a broad number of fields. It seemed to me that the college
never put the personnel into any administration information management
program that the numbers of students would justify. I think when the faculty
decided for whatever reason, probably very good reasons – I was not a member
of the committees at the side of these – that they would not grow exponentially.
But rather they would only replicate. I think that was crucial.

William James College Interviews
GV016-16
Interviewer: Barbara Roos
Interviewee: Bruce Klein
Date: 1984
[Barbara]
… So, Bruce, those are the things I want to know.
[Klein]
So you want to know why I came to James?
[Barbara]
I wonder if I can do it on this shoulder. Yeah, why… you know what I mean, we’re
not into big biographies, we’re into what James was. So, when phrasing your
answer… you know what I mean? Hey, that looks nice. That looks nice. Now we
got you. Make sure we have you focused. There. Anytime you want to start
talking, you're really clear.
[Klein]
Okay. Why did I come to James? That's an interesting question. I think you have
to do a little biography: I was at Virginia Tech. for five years teaching and before
coming up here. And Virginia Tech. is like Michigan State and I didn't like that. I
didn't like the movement towards one hundred, two hundred, three-hundredperson lectures and movement away from when I started there. It was a very
personal place because I was the only faculty member. There were two of us.
And by the time I left there were twelve of us with a PhD program and all of what
that implied. And it's a long and funny story about how I got to James. I applied at
Thomas Jefferson because I felt that any college for advertising in "The New
Republic" couldn't be all bad. And they correctly sent me back a letter saying:
"We're not interested in you; however, we've sent your material over to William
James." And that was the year before William James… that was the year when
James was being founded. So, I actually applied to William James before it
existed. Ken Hunter was hired instead of me. And two years later – I think it was
two years later – the circle came around and I was added to the staff. And it was
really, in a lot of ways… coming to James was a reaction against a standard
mega-versity type education.
[Barbara]
Okay, let me shift here. Okay. Now would you like to talk about… I just did
something, sorry. Talk about the movement of computers.
[Klein]
Okay, I think…
[Barbara]
Let me change the shot just a little.
[Klein]
To talk about the movement of computers from James to CAS is… I think there
were two reasons. One had to do James itself. And that was the students we
�were attracting were less and less interested in a linear kind of thing that
computing implies. And at the exact same time, a very powerful person on the
Grand Valley campus, Don Vander Jack, saw finally that computing was going to
be a very important curricula item and waged a campaign to move it. And we
were vulnerable because of dying enrollments in that area.
[Barbara]
That's real clear. Okay. Let me just check focus here. Okay.
[Klein]
It was interesting. When I came, there was a core of about twenty students, I
think, from roughly the first year or two of James that were really interested in
computing. And when I left – or when it was suggested I apply for an open
position in CAS by the Provost, let’s put it that way – there were probably fewer
than ten.
[Barbara]
Because? Well, you already said.
[Klein]
I already said. I don't think we were attracting… I think the message of James
was not the thing that was going to attract students interested in computing. And
the students that were attracted to James were turned off by "you can't take the
fourth course until you've taken the first three." I think there was some real
problems with that.
[Barbara]
Real clear. From the position of both an insider and an outsider, I was never an
outsider, you know what I mean, for James…
[Klein]
Yeah.
[Barbara]
Would you care to comment on its final demise? I mean, could it have been
prevented? What should we have done differently?
[Klein]
I don't think anything could have been done, not in the context of Grand Valley.
Grand Valley was going to make itself look like every other college in the state.
Because I think, at that time, there were some serious enrollment patterns
though James was doing just fine. If you want to look at James vis-à-vis
Seidman, the enrollment in James was – to my recollection – just as good as the
enrollment in Seidman. But I think the powers that be wanted Grand Valley to
look like every other college in the state because they were taking enough flak
for not being like every other college in the state.
[Barbara]
If you were to sum up James – the key to what we were trying to do or were
doing – in a sentence, what would that sentence be?
[Klein]
Wow. That's a hard one, Barb. Well, something that my wife and I have been
talking about a lot lately – and that's growth. Personal and intellectual. And I think
�to my mind that's what James was more about than anything else.
[Barbara]
You're a great interviewee. You say it!

William James College was the third baccalaureate degree granting college for Grand Valley. It was originally designed to be an interdisciplinary, non-departmentalized college consisting of concentration programs, rather than majors. The college opened in 1971 and was discontinued in 1983 during a reorganization of Grand Valley State. Bruce Klein was faculty member in William James College who worked at Grand Valley from 1977 to 2001 and later became Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Information Systems. In this interview, Bruce discusses his personal journey that led him to William James College and the movement of the computer program from WJC to the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). This interview is part 1 of 1 for Bruce Klein.
