John Meng |
Order: 6th Dates: 1960 - 1967 Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Meng began teaching in 1931 as an “assistant in politics” at the Catholic University of America, from which he earned his degrees. In 1938, he went to Queens College, which he served as chair of the department of political science and, later, as chair of the division of social sciences. He joined the Hunter faculty in 1948 as a professor of history and soon was appointed the first dean of administration, in which position he also had executive control of the Bronx campus (today, Lehman College). During his term of office, Dr. Meng presided over the expansion of graduate and undergraduate enrollment in the liberal arts and teacher education; he advocated, and secured approval for, the College’s transition to co-education; and he strongly supported the creation of the City University. |
