Walter Clark, 1918 - 1938
A native Ohioan, Clark had trained at Ohio Wesleyan University and Columbia, and was known for scholarly research in economics and business, as well as a distinguished 15-year teaching career at City College of New York. The growth of the University’s physical facilities continued under Clark, including the expansion of the football stadium, construction of $415,000 Mackay Science Hall, and the opening of a new $250,000 library. Clark was known for his support of academic freedom, and often defended the faculty in its name.
