Dynamic is the one word which aptly describes the Administration of Lehigh University during the 1961-62 academic year. Reorganization and the adoption of several long range educational programs are the major innovations of this time period. Dr. Harvey A. Neville was unani- mously selected by the Board of Trustees as the ninth President of the University. Dr. Glenn J. Christensen, Dr. Charles A. Seidle, and Paul L. Franz were chosen to fill the Vice-Presidential posts. To these men goes the task of guiding Lehigh in the challenging years to come. To the Board of Trustees, headed by Monroe Jackson Rathbone, goes the task of pro- viding the financial leadership and the supervision necessary to achieve Lehigh ' s educational goals. Dr. Harvey Alexander Neville, noted sci- entist and scholar, was formally installed as President on October 8, 1961 at the Eighty-Third Founder ' s Day Ceremonies in Packer Memorial Church. Dr. Neville, who is a recognized authority in the field of catalysis and colloid chemistry, joined the Lehigh faculty in 1927 as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. He was promoted to Associate Professor of Chemistry in 1930, to full professor and head of the department of chemistry and chemical engineering in 1938. He was named Dean of Lehigh ' s Graduate School in 1949 and was advanced to University Vice-President and Provost in 1956. From 1945 until 1960 he served as director of the University ' s Institute of Research. In his various ad- ministrative positions at Lehigh Dr. Neville has earned the confidence and respect of the faculty as well as the Board of Trus- tees. Dr. Neville ' s appointment as Presi- dent was greeted with enthusiasm, with pleasure, and with approval by the Lehigh community. m DR. HARVEY A. NEVILLE University President
