From 1948 to 1963, he was successively a member of the faculty at the University of Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. From 1963 to 1966, he was Dean of the College of Environmental Design at the University of California at Berkeley. In his final year at Berkeley he was also Acting Chancellor. From 1966 to 1970, he was President of the State University of New York at Buffalo and from September 1970 through January 1981 he was President of the University of Pennsylvania. He was then named President Emeritus and remained active at Penn in that role until his death. During his early career in city planning, Meyerson's theoretical contributions called for the integration of social science and an understanding of economic markets. An expert on national, regional, urban and industrial development, Meyerson served on numerous advisory boards, consulted internationally, and was active with various professional organizations. The only child of Samuel and Etta Berger Meyerson, Martin Meyerson as born on November 14, 1922, and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He received his bachelors degree from Columbia University in 1942, followed by a Masters of City Planning from Harvard University in 1949. After briefly working for the Philadelphia Planning Commission, Meyerson went to the University of Chicago in 1948 as an assistant professor of social sciences. While in Chicago he also held planning positions with the Chicago Housing Authority and the Michael Reese Hospital. Many of Meyerson's ideas relating to planning came from his observing the effects of public housing projects in Chicago at this time. In 1952 he came to the University of Pennsylvania as associate professor in the Department of City and Regional planning in the Graduate School of Fine Arts (now the School of Design). In the early years of his career, Meyerson's books became important contributions to establishing the theoretical foundations of urban planning in the post-World War II era. Most notably he co-authored with Edward C. Banfield Politics, Planning and Public Interest: The Case of Public Housing In Chicago (1955) which supported the idea that physical planning had to be integrated into socio-economic planning, and the political process. While at Penn, Meyerson taught a course and developed a friendship with Lewis Mumford - whose idea of "polytechnics" closely matched Meyerson's own ideas. In 1957 Meyerson returned to Harvard University as the first tenured Williams Professor of City Planning and Urban Research, as well as the founding director of the Joint Center for Urban - 2 - Martin Meyerson Papers UPT 50 M613M Studies between Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1963 to 1966 he served as dean of the College of Environmental Design at the University of California at Berkley. In 1965 Meyerson was given his first roll in university administration when the Free Speech Moment caused tension on campus between students and the Board of Regents, forcing Chancellor Edward W. Strong out of office. Seeking to restore order to campus, University President Clark Kerr asked Meyerson to serve as acting chancellor, and Meyerson's performance in handling the situation received wide acclaim. After Berkley, Meyerson served as the tenth president of the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1966 to 1970. His arrival coincided with the challenge of a rapidly expanding State University system in an old industrial city in decline. During his tenure he oversaw the academic reorganization of the school, the planning and groundbreaking of the North Campus in Amherst, the establishment of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, and the purchase of the Darwin D. Martin house as the home for the University President. Following the retirement of Gaylord P. Harnwell, Meyerson was selected to be the next president of the University of Pennsylvania. From 1970 to 1981 he was able to draw upon his expertise as one of the nation's preeminent planners to bring about his "One University" plan. At the time of his appointment Penn was confronting the issue of how to expand a university in a declining urban environment - a challenge much like the one Meyerson had dealt with in Buffalo. Meyerson was responsible for creating a true center of campus by closing streets, building landscaped walkways, and creating Blanche P. Levy Park on College Green. He also unified the liberal arts and sciences on campus through the creation of the School of Arts and Sciences in 1974 to combine the College, Graduates School of Arts and Sciences, College for Women, College of General Studies and the social science departments of the Wharton School. Other notable accomplishments during the Meyerson administration include the creation of the College House system, the freshman seminar program, the practice of responsibility center budgeting, the creation of boards of overseers, the University's first affirmative action program for women and minorities in 1972, and a significant fundraising campaign - "Program for the Eighties" - which helped turn around the University's finances. Following his retirement in 1981, Meyerson remained on campus as emeritus president and University Professor of Public Policy Analysis and

    John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction John D. Rockefeller was an oil industry tycoon and philanthropist who lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in New York in 1839, he moved with his family to northeast Ohio in 1853. At age sixteen, he began his involvement with the business world as an assistant bookkeeper for a produce commission business. He soon began his own produce commission company before joining the oil refinery industry in 1863. He established Standard Oil of Ohio in 1870, and this is where he made most of his wealth. By 1878, the company controlled 90% of all U.S. oil refineries (it was declared a trust by the U.S government in 1911). In addition to his business interests, Rockefeller regularly donated a portion of his income to charities supporting education and public health. Rockefeller died in 1937 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. He is widely recognized as the wealthiest American of all time. Important Dates . July 8, 1839: John Davison Rockefeller is born in Richford, New York. 1853: The Rockefeller family moves to Strongsville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. 1863: Rockefeller and business partner Maurice B. Clark build an oil refinery in “The Flats” area of Cleveland. 1864: Rockefeller marries Laura Celestia “Cettie” Spelman.

  • Higher Education in Brazil: the Expansion of Public 3-Year
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.1.11 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ ONE UNIVERSITY: THE EVOLUTION OF AN IDEA January 2011 Patricia A. Pelfrey Center for Studies in Higher Education Berkeley, California Copyright 2011 Patricia A. Pelfrey ABSTRACT The one-university idea—that the University of California is a single institution whose campuses are united in the pursuit of a common mission and common standards of quality—has been a guiding organizational principle since UC President Robert Gordon Sproul first articulated it in the 1930s. This paper examines the origins of the one-university idea in the Sproul era, the role it has played in UC’s institutional development through waves of decentralization and campus expansion, and whether it remains relevant today. We are building one great university in California. Let no small mind direct you along the paths of suspicion, distrust, or jealousy. President Robert Gordon Sproul to the students of UCLA, September 27, 1932 President Sproul’s admonition to UCLA’s students came at a sensitive moment in the history of the University of California. In 1932 the Los Angeles campus—long fought for by southern California citizens and interest groups, long delayed by University leaders in the north, and only recently settled in the hills of Westwood where it stands today—had recently made UC the nation’s first multicampus university.1 UCLA was a fledgling institution at that point, very much in the shadow of its distinguished older sibling four hundred miles away at Berkeley. Sproul’s remark was an attempt to lift morale and instill a sense of solidarity between north and south.

  • Spring 1965 an Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008)
    one Spring 1965 An Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008) in january 1965, in the wake of the turbulent Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus and the demise of its chancellor, Edward Strong, the new acting chancellor, Martin Meyerson, asked me to join his staff as a special assistant in the area of student political activity. This was the hottest seat in the chancellor’s offi ce at that moment, given the political fragility of the campus. I served eight months in that capacity until a new chancellor, Roger Heyns, was appointed and I took a scheduled sabbatical leave. Those months were a tense and uncertain period that resulted in an unsteady but palpable restoration of authority on the Berkeley campus and a few steps toward campus “normalcy.” They also constituted a period of rapid and mandatory political learning on my part and one of the most demanding seasons of my life. Over the years many colleagues have asked me to write about this important transitional period, both because it has received less attention than the historic Free Speech Movement days of late 1964 and because I had an “insider’s” point of view; now, in 2008, I have fi nally acceded to those requests. I have returned to the archives of the chancellor’s offi ce, to accounts of the events in the press, and to my personal recollections. The staff of the Bancroft Library were very helpful in supplying materials relevant to the Meyerson administration from the fi les of the chancellor’s offi ce. I also benefi ted from the research assistance of Ziza Delgado and Catherine Shepard-Haier.
