Though the 17-page letter cites many successes, Knowles urged the Faculty to act to resolve problems he termed pressing.
"My main message this year is carpe diem," Knowles said. "I believe we must be very careful not to become complacent."
In the main body of his letter, Knowles said that some departments are more successful than others at recruiting and retaining competent faculty, and that other departments should mimic their methodology.
Knowles also cited the frequent problem of a shortage of teaching fellows (TFs) in the college.
In another part of the letter, Knowles wrote about his desire to encourage every first-year to take a seminar-style course. Given the way Freshmen Seminars are structured, not all first-years who want to take the courses can do so.
