CHANCELLOR RETIRES inds I of change The leadership provided by Chancellor Ferritor has produced a solid foundation for us. He had a remarkable tenure as chancellor. - John White After more than a decade of service at the helm of the main University campus, Dr. Daniel E. Ferritor ended his term as chancellor on June 30, 1997. Dr. Ferritor ' s tenure was marked by a dramatic upturn in fundraising for the University, which expanded the endowment and put the institution in the top level of fundraising for state universities. This success contributed to on-campus growth, including several major new con¬ struction projects such as the Poultry Science Center, addi¬ tions to Mullins Library, the renovation of Old Main and the planned intermodal transit facility. Under his leader¬ ship the University also became a well-respected research institution. I think what I will miss most about Chancellor Ferritor will be his caring and kind demeanor. He kept an open door and an open mind to the concerns of students, Associated Student Government President Adria Wilson said. But, I ' m glad he isn ' t going too far. Ferritor served as a professor of sociology, as depart¬ ment chairman in sociology and as the vice chancellor for academic affairs before becoming chancellor. Following a sabbatical leave during which he will spend time studying in Ireland, Ferritor planned to return to a University class¬ room. In the 1993 Razorback, Ferritor said he would rather teach sociology to a class full of freshmen and sopho¬ mores than just about anything else in the world. The leadership provided by Chancellor Ferritor has produced a solid foundation for us, newly appointed chancellor, Dr. John White, said. He had a remarkable tenure as chancellor. White, an Arkansas alumnus, left Georgia Tech, where he was the dean of the college of engineering, to assume his new role at the University. A Harrison native, Dr. White graduated in 1962. Thirty-six years ago I was a student at the University of Arkansas. Now, I have an opportunity to lead it into the next millennium, White said. Very few are afforded that opportunity — what an awesome responsibility it is. - Razorback Staff 18
