Successor To Williams

Mr. Mallet joined the faculty at the
University in 1938 and was made an Associate
Dean of the College in 1966. He has been in
charge of the Echols Scholar program since
1966, replacing D. Alan Williams.

The Echols Scholar Program, founded in
1960, is "designed to challenge and stimulate
exceptionally able entering students' who are
selected for the program on the basis of college
board scores, past academic records, and the
benefits they would gain by living in a special
intellectual community.

Mr. Mallett has been aided in running the
program by Charles Whitebread, who has been
resident advisor for the first-year Echols
students since 1968. John Stewart joined the
program as adviser for science students last
September.
