E&H DEAN CHOSEN TO HEAD ILLINOIS COLLEGE
Richard Pfau, provost and dean of the faculty at Emory & Henry College for seven years, will move to Jacksonville, Ill., on July 1 to become the new president of Illinois College.
The private liberal arts school, founded in 1829, has more than 900 students, 49 faculty members, a $40 million endowment and an $11.4 million operating budget. It also has a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa national honor society of which Pfau is a member.
Pfau, 50, will succeed Donald C. Mundlinger, who is retiring after 20 years at the college.
Pfau has hired nearly half of Emory & Henry's 60-member faculty. During his eight years at E&H, the proportionate number of teachers with doctorates went from 71 percent to 82 percent and the number of full-time female professors increased from 9 percent to 33 percent.
He is a graduate of Hamilton (N.Y.) College with master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Virginia.
He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1966 and spent two years in Iran, later doing his dissertation on U.S.-Iranian relations. He is also the author of "No Sacrifice Too Great," a biography of Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss, which nominated in 1984 for a Pulitzer Prize. He is working on a biography of Gen. Harold K. Johnson, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Vietnam buildup.
Before coming to Emory, he was associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami and taught at Dickenson College in Pennsylvania.
