The Catalogue includes the opening paragraph of the University's Mission Statement and a description of the history and curriculum of the University. The Catalogue's descriptions of departments and concentrations should be brought into line with one another to increase consistency among them. The videotape consists of short clips taken by many different Colgate students using video cameras on campus. Colgate publications are produced on campus. There are also several student literary and political periodicals and a journal for student research in the natural sciences.
Past experience suggests that there is value in some faculty presence.
The Student Affairs Board should discuss ways to assist student publications to maintain or improve their quality, possibly through the use of faculty advisers. Colgate faculty members are responsible for Colgate University Press and journals such as Graham House Review. The Press markets its list worldwide through a distribution arrangement with Syracuse University Press. Professor Wilbur Albrecht, who is now director, does all work related to the Press other than actual design and production, for which outside firms are engaged. Colgate University Press is self-financing, publishing new editions as funds become available through the sales of those in print.
