For a 1969 report on graduate programs in English, the Association of Departments of English obtained information from chairmen or directors of graduate studies in English at 223 institutions. This document contains some of the information collected for the full report (available through ERIC as "Graduate Programs in English: A 1969 Report" by Bonnie E. Nelson). The not yet accepted proposal for a doctoral program at the University of Idaho contains five chapters: (1) Improvement of Library Resources, (2) Improvement of Faculty Resources, (3) The English Ph.D. Program in American Literature and English Renaissance Literature, (4) Improvement of Graduate Course Offerings, and (5) Improvement of the Existing M.A. Program. Attachments and appendixes include a 1960-1964 survey of Ph.D. English departments, a survey of library holdings, and suggested budget allocations. (BN)
