C h u rc h w ell, u n iv e r­ sity librarian at Brown U niv ersity sin ce 1974, assumed his new duties at W ashington U n iv er­ sity on S e p te m b e r 1.

In annou ncing his ap p o in tm en t, C h a n ce llo r Danforth said: “W ashington U niversity is fortu­ nate that Charles Churchwell has accepted this position o f great responsibility. He was selected for this post after a year’s search by a twelve- m em ber com m ittee headed by Ralph E. Morrow, dean o f the Graduate School o f Arts and Sciences at W ashington University. I concur with one of the m em bers of this co m m ittee who recently de­ s c r ib e d C h u rch w ell as ‘th e m ost im ag in ativ e, sagacious, and informed administrator o f libraries’ that he e v e r had e n co u n te re d . C h u rch w ell is h e ld in hig h e s te e m by h is c o lle a g u e s and 250 friends, and we are confident that he will make an outstanding contribution at W ashington U ni­ versity,” As u n iv e r s ity lib r a r ia n a t W a s h in g to n , Churchwell will serve as c h ie f administrator o f a system composed o f a central library and eight branch lib ra rie s , with a bu dget that runs into seven figures. T he com bined collections o f these various un its total m ore than on e m illion vol­ umes. H e will supervise a full-tim e library staff of 1 2 0 , o f w h ich 2 7 a re p ro fe s s io n a l lib r a r ia n s . Churchw ell will report directly to the W ashing­ ton University provost, M erle Kling. Churchw ell, according to those who know him b e s t , is an a r d e n t s u p p o r te r o f in d e p e n d e n t high er education and has established a reputa­ tion, not only as an extrem ely able librarian, but also as a man who understands the goals and ob­ je ctiv e s o f the total university. H e has b e e n U n iv ersity L ib rarian at Brow n U n iv e rsity sin c e 1974. C h u rc h w e ll b e g a n his career as a library science instructor from 1953 to 1958 at P rairie View A & M C o lleg e, Prairie, Texas. From 1959 to 1961 h e was a re fe re n ce librarian at the New York Public Library. W hile studying for his P h .D . at the University o f Illinois from 1964 to 1967, he served as in­ structor and assistant librarian for the University o f Illinois Libraries. During his tenu re th ere, he h e lp ed plan an eig h t-floo r bookstacks addition and a six m illio n d o lla r new u n d e r g ra d u a te library. He accepted an appointment as associate pro­ fessor and assistant d ire cto r o f lib raries at the U niversity o f H ouston from 1967 to 1969. He began a five-year care er at Miami University, Ox­ ford, Ohio, in 1969. T h ere he served successively as professor and director o f libraries and then as p ro fe sso r and a ss o cia te p ro v o st for a c a d e m ic services. W h ile a t M iam i U n iv e r s ity , C h u rc h w e ll worked d irectly with P resid ent Phillip Sh riv er and p a rticip a te d in two m ajo r u n iv ersity w id e p ro jects, which, h e says, “contributed further to my understanding o f graduate and undergraduate ed ucation.” His first major task was to make a b rie f study o f all doctoral programs to ensure their evaluation and accreditation by the North C entral Associa­ tion. His second role was to serve as chairperson o f th e u n iv e r s it y ’s A d v isory T ask F o r c e on A cadem ic P rioritie s. T h is body established the first com prehensive data base for Miami U niver­ sity , w hich is still b e in g u sed to a llo c a te r e ­ sources o f the institution. This same task force helped to bring about g reater efficiency and ef­ fectiveness on the Miami campus. Says Churchw ell: ‘T h e procedure adopted by the task force for gathering and disseminating in­ formation has served as a m odel for establishing an o p e n in fo r m a tio n -s h a r in g sy s te m ab o u t staffing, funding, and work loads o f all academic departm ents and divisions in the university.” D uring his tenu re at Miami University, he was an A m erican C o u n cil on E d u c a tio n A cad em ic Administrative Fellow from 1971 to 1972. At that tim e, he resolved to learn more about the presi­ dential responsibilities, administrative styles, and the quality of life in a variety o f environments. He worked with four college and university pres­ idents: Jam es P. Dixon, Antioch College; Harold Enarson o f Cleveland State University, now pres­ ident o f Ohio S ta te U niversity; Jo h n Corbally, University o f Illinois; and John People, Jackson State College, Jackson, Mississippi.
