Historical NoteReturn to Top
The College of Humanities was formed in 1970 when the College of Letters and Science was divided into the three separate colleges of humanities, science, and social and behavioral science. During the period covered by this collection, the College's constituent departments and institutes were the American West Center; the Departments of Communications, English, History, Languages and Literature, Linguistics, and Philosophy; the Middle East Center; and the University Writing Program. Alfred A. Cave-originally Dean for Humanities in the College of Letters and Science-served as the first dean of the College of Humanities from 1970-1973. Malcolm O. Sillars became the dean in 1974 and served in that position until 1981. Norman Council was the dean of the college from 1981 until 1991. Notable developments in the College of Humanities during this period include the creation of the Humanities Center in 1988 as an interdepartmental institute for the purpose of fostering humanities reasearch, education, and community outreach; the development of an undergraduate curriculum and appropriate courses for the Liberal Education department; and the evolving use of personal desktop computers in both humanities research and instruction.
