History

In late 1970, George Benton, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, reorganized the administration at Homewood. Robert Strider was appointed to the new position of Dean of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies, reporting to Benton, and was given authority over degree programs and the area of student services. In the spring of 1971, Strider began to search for a replacement for Carl Swanson, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies, who had announced his resignation. This search culminated in the appointment of Sigmund Suskind, a professor of molecular biology. Suskind's appointment was viewed as controversial, with students arguing that the appointment committee had merely "rubber-stamped" Benton's selection, and had not sought input from students or the remainder of the University community.

In September 1971, just as Suskind was about to assume his position, Strider died. Suskind assumed Strider's duties, but the name of the office was changed to Dean of Academic Programs and the position of Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies was eliminated. Suskind remained Dean of Academic Programs until February 1975, when, upon his request, his title was changed to Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. His duties, however, remained the same.

Three years later, in 1978, the deans' offices again underwent a major reorganization after the Board of Trustees formally reestablished the School of Engineering. George Owen, appointed Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1972, became Dean of Homewood Faculties, respon-sible for the Schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering, as well as all of the support services at Homewood. Suskind was promoted to Dean of Arts and Sciences, and Michael Hooker, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, who had been made Assistant Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies in 1977, became Associate Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. Hooker's responsibilities were to supervise matters relating to academic standing and integrity, including the supervision of the Office of Advising and Counseling, and to chair the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and the Graduate Board.

In 1980, Hooker was promoted from associate to full dean, but otherwise his duties remained the same until 1982, when he left Hopkins to become President of Bennington College. At the same time, Owen retired as Dean of Homewood Faculties, and Jakie Hall, Dean of Academic Services, was appointed Senior Assistant to President Muller. Thus, it was decided to reorganize the administrative structure once again. The position of Dean of Homewood Faculties was abolished; henceforth, the Deans of Arts and Sciences and Engineering would report directly to the President and Provost. Reporting to both of these deans were two associate deans. Lucien Brush, the new Associate Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies, assumed all of Hooker's old responsibilities. Additionally, the Assistant Dean of Students, Chris Colombo, who was responsible for the Athletic Center, the Chaplain's Office, Military Science, Residential Life, Student Activities and WJHU, and who had formerly reported to Hall, now reported to Brush, Hall's position having been eliminated. Hall's other duties fell to C. Norman Krueger, appointed to the new position of Associate Dean of Administration.

In 1984, another shift in responsibilities occurred when Colombo became an associate dean, on the same level as Brush and Krueger; all of the offices which had reported to Brush through him became Colombo's responsibility alone. At the same time, Brush gained responsibility for the Offices of Admissions and Financial Aid, both of which had been Krueger's.

In 1985, the Office of Associate Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies was eliminated as part of yet another reorganization. Robert Welch, the newly appointed Dean of Homewood Schools Adminis-tration, assumed responsibility for all of Brush's offices as well as becoming Krueger's and Colombo's immediate superior.

In early 1988, Welch resigned from his position and left the University; he was replaced by Chris Colombo, as Dean of Homewood Schools Services.

Description of Series/Container List Series 1: Academic Records Series 1: Academic Records 11 boxes

Contains the records of Sigmund Suskind, Michael Hooker and Lucien Brush relating to their responsibility for supervising and maintaining academic standing and integrity at Homewood. Records pertaining to the deans' other major duty, that of chairing the Committee on Undergraduate Studies, consisting of a complete set of the minutes and supporting papers of that body, were removed from this record group and added to the records of the Academic Governing Boards. Also included in this series are some records of Sigmund Suskind, who preceded Hooker and Brush in a similar position, relating primarily to the Honor Commission and the question of whether credit should be granted for classes in military science. Additionally, there are some of Brush's records relating to his work as a professor and as a private consultant. The series consists of subject files arranged alphabetically by file title, spanning the period 1949 to 1985, with most of the material dating from the late 1970s and early 1980s.
