Biographical Note
Daniel J. Leab received his BA (1957), MA (1960) and PhD (1969) from Columbia University. As a doctoral candidate and instructor of history, he was secretary of the University Seminar on American Civilization. A specialist in American labor history in Columbia's History Department, Leab was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in 1969. In this role, his primary function was to supervise the undergraduate curriculum and serve as the College administration's liaison with the faculty. He advocated for academic reform, general education, major requirements, the Core Curriculum, and co-education. He later served as Assistant Dean of Faculties (1971), was elected University Senator from the College non-tenured faculty (1971-1972), was a member of the Executive Committe of the University Senate (1972-1974) and Special Assistant to the Vice President and Provost (1973-1974).
