Third Century Professors

Two appointments to Third Century Professorships - in the social sciences and at the Tuck School, respectively - were approved by the Trustees at their April meeting. Each appointee will be the first incumbent of an endowed chair established at the time of the bicentennial of the College.

Dean John W. Hennessey Jr. of the Tuck School has been named Charles Henry Jones Third Century Professor, a chair endowed by Paul and Charles H. Jones '23 and other family members in memory of their late father, a member of the Class of 1873, and dedicated to teaching and scholarship in the area of "The Management of Man."

David A. Baldwin, associate professor of government and a specialist in international politics and organizations, will be the first John Sloan Dickey Third Century Professor in the Social Sciences, a chair named in honor of Dartmouth's President Emeritus.

Third Century Professorships, of which there are five at the College, are awarded for five-year terms, renewable for an additional term. They carry with them extra stipends to support research into and development of innovative teaching methods in the respective fields and a reduction of regular teaching loads.

Although his appointment is effective immediately, Dean Hennessey will continue as chief administrator of Tuck until July 1976, through the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the school, the first graduate school of business administration in the country.
