If anything in INDEX 72 approaches A Dedication, so popular a few years back, this must be it. Think of it as a tribute. Oswald Tippo ' s history at UMass began in 1928 when he entered the Massachusetts State College as a student. After graduating in 1932, he earned his Masters and PHD in Botany at Harvard, also spending a period there as a Teaching Fellow. Tippo thereafter went to the University of Illinois, where he progressed from the status of Botany Instructor to Chairman of the Botany Department. He ultimately became Dean of the Graduate School. After leaving Illinois, he took the post of head of the Botany Department at Yale. After spending time at Yale, he accepted the post of Provost at the University of Colorado. In the early sixties he became Executive Dean of Arts and Sciences at New York University. In 1964 he returned to his alma mater as Provost. He submitted his resignation from the post of Provost to the board of Trustees in 1969. The resignation was never approved by the Board and Tippo remained, to be appointed to the post of Chancellor in February, 1970. 29
