James Alfred Perkins, President, 1963-1969

In 1963, James Perkins became the seventh president of Cornell University, serving until 1969. Academic innovations were a hallmark of Perkins’s administration. By the late 1960s he was regarded as one of the leading theoreticians of higher education. Based on the recommendations of a group of distinguished biologists from around the country, a Division of Biological Sciences was created. An administrative innovation, it integrated courses in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the College of Agriculture. Similarly, the new Department of Computer Science combined courses in the Arts College and the College of Engineering. Perkins was instrumental in obtaining major foundation grants for biology, computer science, and international studies. During his tenure, salaries for faculty and staff improved rapidly, and twenty-three endowed chairs were created. Building continued with the construction of the Chemistry Research Building, Clark Hall, Bradfield and Emerson Halls, and the new Campus Store.



Perkins was committed to excellence in undergraduate education. He returned to the precedents of White and Cornell in the development of the Freshman Seminar program, the Society for the Humanities, and the Andrew D. White professorships-at-large. He was especially committed to encouraging diversity in the student body. COSEP (Committee on Special Educational Projects) was established in 1964 with a Rockefeller Foundation grant to provide educational opportunities for a significant number of minority students. The last year of Perkins’s administration was largely involved in confronting the rising level of student political protest and activism.





James A. Perkins was born in 1911 in Philadelphia. He graduated with high honors in 1934 from Swarthmore College and received a doctorate in political science from Princeton University in 1937. He remained at Princeton until 1941, first as an instructor of political science, and later as an assistant professor and assistant director of the School of Public and International Affairs. During World War ii, Perkins served in the Office of Price Administration and the Foreign Economic Administration. From 1945 to 1950 he was Vice President of Swarthmore College.



In 1950 Perkins joined the Carnegie Corporation as an executive associate, and in 1951 became Vice President. From 1951 to 1953, he served as Vice President of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In 1963 he became the seventh president of Cornell University, serving until 1969.

He died in 1998.

Timothy Naftali is associate professor and director of the Presidential Recordings Program and Kremlin Decision-Making Project. His research focuses on: the Soviet Union in the Cold War, the history of intelligence

Trained as a historian, Timothy Naftali writes political histories
on the Cold War, World War II, and espionage. Before coming to the
Miller Center, he was a visiting assistant professor at Yale University,
where he taught courses on intelligence, International relations,
and the Cold War in the Third World.

Timothy Naftali lectures widely on topics varying from double agents
in World War II and the Cold War to Khrushchev's thinking on nuclear
weapons. He also regularly reviews books for national newspapers
such as the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los
Angeles Times. Timothy Naftali serves as a consultant to the Imperial
Japanese and Nazi War Criminal Records Interagency Working Group,
an effort established by Congress to facilitate the declassification
of all official records pertaining to U.S. knowledge of Nazi war
crimes and the fate of Nazi war criminals. It will be written in
2002.

Once the materials have been evaluated, Timothy Naftali, in collaboration
with Norm Goda, will write sections of the final report to the US
Congress.
