SCIENCES THE ERNEST H. ERN PROFESSORSHIP

  • The following resolution was adopted:
  • RESOLVED that the Distinguished Professorship in Environmental Sciences be and it is hereby renamed the Ernest H. Ern Professorship in Environmental Sciences.
  • In announcing the Ernest H. Ern Professorship, the President spoke at some length about the many contributions Mr. Ern has made to the ofe of the University. His comments were seconded by members of the Board. Mr. Brown, in particular, commented on the enormous number of students over the years whose lives have been touched by Mr. Ern. His devotion to the University and to his duties as Vice President for Student Affairs has been extraordinary. He has truly worked to encourage the Jeffersonian precepts of student life at the University, Mr. Brown said, and he has done a superb job. The Ern Professorship recognizes not only Mr. Ern's contributions but also the University's ideal of the scholar/administrator, an ideal which Mr. Ern so ably exemplifies.
