R. Gordon Hoxie, Chancellor of Long- Island University and President of C. W. Post College, has been an inspira- tion and leader in the growth of the College since its inception. He is a symbol of dedication and perseverance that has guided a small and weak college and university towards greatness in the educational world. After receiving his B.A. from Iowa State Teachers College, Chancellor Hoxie received his M.A. from the University of Wisconsin and his Ph.D. from Columbia University. After teaching and administrative exper- ience at the University of Denver and Columbia University, the Chancellor was selected in 1955 to direct the planning for the establishment of a college in Brook- ville, New York. C. W. Post College was born after many months of devoted effort. In 1955 Dr. Hoxie became the first Dean of C. W. Post College. He became the provost of the College in 1960, and the Vice President of Long Island University in 1962. Shortly thereafter, the Board of Trustees of Long Island University elected Dr. Hoxie President of C. W. Post College. In 1964 the President received the additional title of Chancellor of Long Island University. Fifteen years ago the infant college in Brookville faced the need for a leader who could look to the future and provide for the sound growth of C. W. Post College. Today Chancellor R. Gordon Hoxie continues with charac- teristic vigor and vision to work for an even greater future for C. W. Post College and Long Island University. R.
