He was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Biology and Natural Science Department of San Jose State College later that same year. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1958 and full Professor in 1963. In 1964, Dr. Harrington was appointed as Associate Dean of the College of Science and in 1967 as Dean of Undergraduate Studies. He served Acting Dean of Academic Planning in 1969 and as Acting Academic Vice President until the summer of 1970.
