Gardner and James C Fletcher Monday by designating them presidents emeriti to recognize their contributions to education and to strengthen their ties to the school. In asking the Institutional Council to bestow the new emeritus rank on the two distinguished educators, University President Chase N. Peterson said Gardner and Fletcher would serve without pay as advisers on planning and strategy. "Because of their vast knowledge of the history and development of this university, they can offer wise and valuable counsel on directions we should take in the future," Peterson said. Gardner was U. of U. president from 1973 to 1983 and Fletcher, who served from 1964 to 1971, is Whiteford Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and former administrator of NASA. Alfred C. Emery, the university's only other living former president is ineligible for the designation because he is still an active faculty member in the College of Law. Gardner, now president of the University of California system, responded by saying, "I am honored to be accorded the title president emeritus. The 10 years I was privileged to serve as president were fulfilling, productive and happy ones for our entire family. For receiving the honor, Fletcher said, "I'm honored. I think it shows considerable thoughtfulness on the part of the Institutional Council and President Peterson. People work hard at a job and it's nice to be remembered. I am pleased with the growth of the university's research effort in the past years." long-ran- ge nine-camp- us 1 1 To Gardner was chairman of President Reason's National Commission on Excellence in Education, which warned in a comprehensive 1983 report that "the educational foundations of our society arc being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity." The commission offered a series of recommendations to reverse the trend. At Utah, Gardner's initiative in raising academic standards became a model for colleges and universities across the country. His administration was widely praised for strengthening ties with the community, improving the quality of graduate programs, increasing federally sponsored research funding and private gifts and establishing exchange lectureships with prestigious schools in the U.S. and overseas. During Gardner's administration, federal research grants jumped from S27 million to $60 million, and annual gifts from $2 million to, $14 million, with another $13 million specifically earmarked for the University Medical Center.
