A new chair at the Business School will be named in honor of Donald K. David, Dean of the School from 1942 to 1955. Kenneth R. Andrews, professor of Business Administration, will be the first to hold the professorship, to be maintained by a $500,000 fund contributed by friends of David.
At the Business School, David was one of the initiators of the case method of teaching business administration. He began advanced management programs for business and trade union executives and enlarged the School's research and doetoral programs.
