Stratton, Chairperson of the Board of Trusfees, has announced that Don Orton resigned as President of Lesley College, effective July 1, 1984. Dr. Orton will have a well-earned sabbatical leave through August 31, 1985. He will also be writing and doing research in his new office in Bouma Hall. Dr. Orton has served Lesley as President for twenty-four years. Although his leadership will be missed, he leaves as a legacy a college which has achieved international recognition. He has strengthened the quality and extended the number of College programs, and leaves an institution that is fiscally sound. All those associated with the College owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Orton for his creative leadership, his vision, and his commitment to all that Lesley represents. Robert D. Lewis, Executive Vice President, was appointed Acting President, effective July 1, 1984, and will serve in that role until a new president is appointed.
