In reviewing the appointments, the Vice-President for Academic
Affairs noted that Russell E. Bidlack, Professor of Library Science, was
being appointed Acting Chairman of the Department of Library Science
for the winter term, 1966, while Professor Wallace Bonk would be on
sabbatical leave.
The Vice-President noted the appointment of David L. Lewis as
Associate Professor of Business History and Director of Business Relations in the School of Business Administration. Dr. Lewis, who had
earned both the master's and the doctor's degrees from The University of
Michigan, had enjoyed holding a Fulbright fellowship for study at the
London School of Economics in 1956-57. From 1948 to 1955 Dr. Lewis
had been most fortunate in securing a wide variety of experience in press
relations, public relations, editing, and administrative work with various
firms, including the Ford Motor Company. From 1959 to 1965 he had
also enjoyed the opportunity of working closely with such outstanding
industrialists as Frederic G. Donner, John Gordon, James Roche,
L. C. Goad, J. E. Goodman, E. N. Cole, P. J. Monaghan, R. C. Gerstenberg, L. G. Seaton, William Mitchell, Wallace Wilson, and Anthony G.
De Lorenzo. He is the author of a forthcoming book, The Public Image
of Henry Ford, of which Allan Nevins has said, "I regard it very highly.
It shows industry, judgment, and literary capacity in rather remarkable
degree." The Vice-President said Dr. Lewis would replace Professor
Albert K. Steigerwalt, whose resignation would become effective January 5, 1966 (p. 1089).
The Vice-President for Academic Affairs noted further that Norman
R. Scott, Professor of Electrical Engineering, had been appointed
Associate Dean of the College of Engineering, to succeed James C.
Mouzon, who had resigned as Associate Dean, at the end of the fall
term, 1965, to return to teaching full time in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Professor Scott, who earned his Ph.D. degree from
the University of Illinois in 1950, had begun his teaching at that university and had come to The University of Michigan in 1951 as Assistant
Professor of Electrical Engineering. The Vice-President said Professor
Scott had demonstrated his ability as an outstanding teacher and
researcher, and was the author of a textbook, Analog and Digital Computer Technology, published in 1960. He had demonstrated exceptional
administrative ability as well as a capacity for creative planning; he
should prove a very significant addition to the administrative structure
of the office of the dean and of the College of Engineering.
