�BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
The youngest of four children born to Edward and Florence (Dawson) Grennan, Jacqueline Grennan Wexler was born Jean Marie Grennan in Sterling, Illinois on August 2, 1926. She was raised on a 250 acre farm where the Grennans raised cattle, corn, and soybeans. Jean Marie was raised by loving and devout parents who stressed the importance of obtaining a good education to all of their children. Jean Marie Grennan attended St. Mary’s Parochial School and Catholic Community High School, where she was the first girl to pursue a general science course instead of home economics. After graduating from Catholic High School she enrolled in Webster College, a small liberal arts school run by the Sisters of Loretto in Webster Groves, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Jean Marie majored in English and mathematics and received her Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude from Webster College in June 1948. Instead of applying for a fellowship to attend Radcliffe College, Jean Marie opted to become a nun. She reasoned that she wanted “to make her life productive for as many people as possible.” Jean Marie’s parents were ambivalent about her decision to become a nun but they respected her right to choose her own career path. After a year-long probationary period, she took her religious vows and was received by the Sisters of Loretto as Sister Jacqueline, a name that she chose in memory of her deceased brother Jack. Sister Jacqueline taught English and mathematics for eight years in high schools that were operated by the Sisters of Loretto. From 1951 to 1954, she was on the faculty of Loretto Academy in El Paso, Texas, and from 1954 to 1959 she was on the faculty at Nerinx Hall in St. Louis, Missouri. During this period she took summer courses at Notre Dame University at South Bend, Indiana, where she received her Masters’ of Arts degree in English in 1957. In 1959, Sister Jacqueline became Sister Francetta Barberis’ assistant at Webster College. In 1960, she became vice-president in charge of development of Webster College, and in 1962, was made executive vice-president. Sister Jacqueline became president of Webster College in 1965 when Sister Francetta accepted a different post in Washington, D.C. As President of Webster College Sister Jacqueline was able to secure donations from corporations and wealthy individuals like Conrad Hilton which led to the renovation of the college campus. Sister Jacqueline was instrumental in transforming Webster College’s education department into a pioneering teacher-training and curriculum research center. She was also pivotal in expanding the elementary school at Webster and in setting up the Webster Institute of Mathematics, Science and Arts, a laboratory school on the secondary level. In 1965, federal officials offered Sister Jacqueline the post of directing an anti-poverty program in St. Louis, Missouri, but she respectfully declined the offer. But she soon realized that she could not continue to “live as a responsible and productive human being for the rest of her life under the vow” of obedience as a nun. 4

�As president of Webster College Sister Jacqueline made institutional separation from the church her first priority. She petitioned ecclesiastical authorities for release from her vows and the Lorettines asked for permission to turn the college over to a board of lay trustees. In 1967, the Vatican released Sister Jacqueline from her vows and granted the Sisters of Loretto permission to place Webster College under secular control. Miss Jacqueline Grennan remained as president of Webster College until June of 1969 when she met and married Paul J. Wexler, president of Orpheum Productions Inc. Mrs. Wexler remained a devout Catholic her entire life. Shortly after her marriage, Mrs. Wexler moved to New York City where she assumed the post of vice-president and director of international university studies with the Academy for Educational Development. In July 1969 Robert D. Cross resigned as president of Hunter College, CUNY to become president of Swarthmore College. In December 1969, the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York named Mrs. Wexler to succeed Dr. Cross and she assumed the presidency of Hunter College on January 15, 1970. Between March and May of 1970, President Wexler was confronted with campus unrest as groups of students and supportive faculty demonstrated and voiced their concerns over the Vietnam War, restrictive racial policies in the U.S. and a general dissatisfaction with the College governance. In response to the perceived indifference to their demands, some students took direct action and occupied the public elevators and specific floors of the College. These and other related student actions obstructed the normal course of business and prevented the proper functioning of Hunter College. President Wexler was forced to use the New York City Police to regain control of campus facilities. She also cancelled classes and closed the College on several occasions to restore order. Eventually, through a series of meetings, President Wexler was able to settle the discord with students and faculty and returned Hunter College back to a state of normalcy. In response to the CUNY-wide campus unrest the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York mandated the implementation of its Open Enrollment Policy in September 1970. This policy increased the enrollment of students throughout CUNY, changed the racial make-up of the student body, and altered the undergraduate curriculum to include courses on African-American Studies, Puerto Rican Studies, and Women’s Studies. President Wexler embraced and enthusiastically endorsed the changes that Open Enrollment brought to Hunter College. President Wexler was instrumental in implementing the B.H.E.’s Open Enrollment Policy at Hunter College; establishing CUNY’s premier center for health care education; incorporating Bellevue Hospital’s nursing school in the College; expanding health care training; raising funds to start a gerontology program in the School of Social Work; and in inaugurating a Women’s Studies Program. Jacqueline Grennan Wexler resigned as president of Hunter College in 1979. From 1982 until 1990 Mrs. Wexler was “president of the National Conference of Christians and Jews where she spoke frequently on interfaith issues in hopes of encouraging mutual respect among religions.” In 1990 she retired and moved to Orlando, Florida with her husband where she tutored mathematics in the Orlando schools for several years. Mrs. Wexler also served on several boards, including the board of directors for United Technologies Corporation. She also received several honorary degrees. 5

�Jacqueline Grennan Wexler died on January 19, 2012, and is survived by her husband Paul, daughter Wendy, son Wayne, sisters Sue Brock and Rita Burrows, four grandchildren, and two great-grand children.

�SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The President Jacqueline Grennan Wexler Collection documents a unique and extraordinary period in the history of Hunter College. President Wexler agreed to steer and navigate Hunter College during the hectic, and at times, turbulent decade of the 1970’s. During her watch President Wexler complied with the implementation of Open Admissions as mandated by the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York and effectively responded to campus unrest which disrupted the normal functioning of Hunter College. In addition, President Wexler oversaw the incorporation of the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, the revision of the governance of Hunter College, the establishment of the Hunter College Senate, Women’s Studies and Jewish Social Studies, the expansion of the SEEK Program and the Department of Black &amp; Puerto Rican Studies and the construction of the East and West Towers of Hunter College. The Wexler Collection is arranged in five series, thirteen subseries, and supplementary materials that were added to the collection after it was processed. Key subseries in this collection are 3.1 Academic Departments, Programs &amp; Professional Schools; 3.2 Committees; 3.5 Hunter College Budgets; 3.6 Implementation of Open Admissions in CUNY/Hunter College; 3.7 Hunter College Campus Unrest; 3.8 Hunter College Building Program; 4.1 Articles and Newspaper Clippings about Jacqueline Grennan Wexler; 4.2 Addresses by Jacqueline Grennan Wexler; and 4.3 Articles by Jacqueline Grennan Wexler. Key folders in the addenda document the celebration of the Hunter College Centennial, (1870 - 1970), the implementation of the Equal Opportunity Program, the expansion of the SEEK Program and College Discovery, and the self-evaluation of President Wexler’s administration. Researchers and scholars whose interest lay in examining the history and impact of women presidents in municipally funded colleges should find this collection to be quite interesting. Jacqueline Grennan Wexler was an extraordinary individual who made a significant contribution to the growth and development of Hunter College.

�groups of students and sympathetic faculty who were protesting a series of issues, i.e., America’s involvement in the Viet Nam War, restrictive racial policies in the U.S., tardy response to student demands, and a general dissatisfaction with Hunter College’s governance. Student unrest took various forms but the typical course of action included picketing and vocal demonstrations. On one occasion a small cadre of students seized control of the school elevators and blocked access to specific floors of the College facility. In response to this and other acts of civil disobedience, President Wexler initially solicited the assistance of New York City Police to restore a semblance of order.

�BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
John Joseph Meng was born in Cleveland, Ohio on December 12, 1906. He was the only child of George Edward and Marie Louise Gott. George Edward Meng was in the wholesale millinery business. John received his primary schooling in Cleveland where he attended a Roman Catholic elementary school and Cathedral Latin School. In 1924, John enrolled in Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he majored in Latin and Greek and became involved in literary activities by serving as the editor in chief of the college newspaper. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1928. After graduating from Catholic University of America, John intended to pursue a career in the foreign diplomatic service. But the failure to obtain a high score on the Foreign Service examination led him to apply for the Knights of Columbus Fellowship where he won a four-year scholarship. John used the scholarship to enroll in Catholic University of America to pursue a master’s degree in history and economics. He received his degree in 1929. When the U.S. State Department didn’t offer the examination for Foreign Service, John decided to remain at Catholic University of America for the next three years and pursue a Ph.D. degree. As part of his course of study he went to Paris to study French Diplomacy during the American Revolutionary War at the Ecole Libre des Politiques from 1930 - 1931. Upon his return from Paris John was offered an assistantship in politics at Catholic University of America in 1931. In 1932, John received his Ph.D. degree after having submitted a dissertation entitled The Compte de Vergennes; European Phases of his American Diplomacy. As an instructor from 1932 - 1938, Dr. Meng specialized in diplomatic history, with a focus on the role that France played during the American Revolution. He subsequently was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1938. In 1938, Dr. Meng was hired as an instructor in politics at the recently established Queens College of the City of New York. He rose in rank from assistant professor in 1941 to associate professor in 1948. From 1941 to 1949 he was the chair of the Political Science Department. From 1942 - 1943 and again from 1947 - 1948, he was the chair of the Social Sciences Division. Dr. Meng returned to his specialty of diplomatic history when he joined the faculty of Hunter College in 1949. During the intervening years he pursued his studies in history and was the author and co-author of several books and articles on Franco-American diplomatic history. He met Marjorie Brunini, of Vicksburg, Mississippi, while she was a student at Trinity College, married and had eight children. Outside of the academic sphere, Dr. Meng was active in state politics. He directed the internship program for the New York State Democratic Committee from 1947 through 1950 and in 1951 was the committee legislative chairman. As an administrator and educator, Dr. Meng was concerned about the encroaching demands of technology on liberal arts education. “The liberal arts college such as Hunter” he said, “is one of the great central bastions protecting in America the intellectual traditions of the Western World.”

�Shortly after his arrival Dr. Meng’s teaching load was reduced to allow him to assist President George Nauman Shuster. In 1952, Dr. Meng was named the Dean of Administration. The new post called for him to assume the duties as the “Executive Vice-President” of Hunter College. This meant that he would assume the tasks of planning, budget negotiations, maintenance, clerical activities, and executive control of the former Hunter College in the Bronx (aka the Bronx Campus). On Monday, October 31, 1960, the former Dean of Administration at Hunter College was inaugurated as the sixth president of Hunter College of The City of New York by the Board of Higher Education. During his tenure as president of Hunter College 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 of New York. In addition to fulfilling his duties as president of Hunter College, Dr. Meng, like his predecessor Dr. George N. Shuster, did find time to write numerous articles and several books. His key publications include Despatches and Instructions of Conrad Alexander Gerard, 1778-1780 (1939); Volume 2 of Guide to Materials for American History in the Libraries and Archives of Paris (1944) with W.G. Leland and Abel Doysie; American History for Catholic High Schools (1959) with E.J. Gergely; co-author of Christianity and America, (1948); and he edited and wrote the introduction to The Government of the Catholic Church (1952) by Elizabeth M. Lynskey. President Meng resigned from Hunter College in protest at the end of the 1965 - 1966 academic year over what he perceived as the “overstepping of policy-making functions and interference in academic matters by the city’s Board of Higher Education.” He subsequently went on to become executive vice-president of Fordham University from 1969 to 1973, and later became the first male and layperson to head Marymount College from 1973 to 1979. Dr. John J. Meng died on February 15, 1988, in Jackson, Mississippi. He was survived by his wife Majorie Brunini, two daughters, six sons, and 18 grandchildren.

�SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The John J. Meng Papers, 1922 - 1986, are housed in the Georgetown Special Collections: American History unit. The papers consist of correspondence, photographs, and files that document Dr. Meng’s tenure as a professor with the Catholic University of America and Queens College, and as president of Hunter College. The papers also include materials that are related to Dr. Meng’s involvement with conferences, task groups, and other educational structures. The President John J. Meng Collection in Archives &amp; Special Collections of Hunter College Libraries does not adequately reflect the role and impact that Dr. Meng had on Hunter College from 1960 to 1966. The surviving records provide a glimpse of Dr. Meng’s rapport and involvement with the Faculty Council, committees, students, and with external organizations like the Advisory Board of Public Health, the American Association of University Professors, the American Association of University Women, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Council on Education, and the Association of American Colleges among others. During his tenure President Meng presided over three major projects at Hunter College. The first project was the restoration of the former Hunter College in the Bronx (aka the Bronx Campus) in 1963. Specific files detail the renovation plans of Davis Hall, Gillet Hall, Gymnasium Building, and Student Hall. The second project was the administrative reorganization of Hunter College in 1964. The last major project was the administrative separation of Hunter College on 68th Street and Lexington Avenue from Hunter College in the Bronx (aka the Bronx Campus) in 1966. President Meng demonstrated skill, tact, and sensitivity in working with administrators, faculty, and students from both locations. The Bronx Campus was legally separated from Hunter College and was renamed Lehman College in 1968. The President John J. Meng Collection consists of inauguration documents, newspaper articles, annual reports, committee files, correspondence, memoranda, addresses, minutes, writings, publications, reports, and photographs. Specific files that should draw the attention of researchers are the restoration of the former Bronx Campus, the administrative reorganization of Hunter College, and the autonomy/separation of the former Bronx Campus from the main campus on 68th Street and Lexington Avenue.
