Note |
With an auditorium named for him, Morris E. Dailey is well known for his leadership during three crises—an earthquake, a war and an influenza epidemic. Born in Booneville, Indiana, Dailey earned his A.B. degree at Simpson College in Indiana and a B.S. degree at Drake University. After teaching at the Normal School for a year, he earned a master’s degree from Indiana University. Following McNaughton’s lead, Dailey established the first summer session. In addition, he advocated the high school graduation standard for admission and reformed faculty employment policy, allowing more permanent faculty employment and opportunities for advanced study. http://www.sjsu.edu/about_sjsu/history/presidents/ |
