Biographical Note
Charles Odegaard (January 10, 1911 – November 14, 1999) was the president of the University of Washington from 1958-1973. Odegaard is credited in transforming the University of Washington from an average state university to one among the top public universities in the United States. His achievements include boosting minority enrollment, preparing the UW for the "baby boom" of the 1960s, and securing a $195 million construction budget for the UW. During his years at the UW, the student population soared from 16,000 to 34,000. Thirty-five new buildings were constructed. UW Health Sciences schools grew, and graduate programs achieved increased prominence.
Born in Chicago Heights, Illnois, he earned a bachelor's degree in history in 1932 at Dartmouth College. He earned master's and doctorate degrees in history at Harvard University in 1933 and 1937. He taught at the University of Illinois, then served in the Navy during World War II. In addition to serving as UW president, he was a professor of higher education and a professor of biomedical history.
