Harry

Kenneth Newburn (January

1, 1906 – August 25, 1974) was an American educator. He served as the president

of various universities during the mid-20th century. Newburn was born on

January 1, 1906, in the town of Cuba,

Illinois. He attended Western Illinois State Teachers College, earning his

bachelor's degree in education there and later earning his master's and Ph.D

from the University of Iowa. After

earning his Ph.D, he remained at Iowa as an assistant professor, rising to the

position of dean of its College of Liberal Arts. In 1945, he became President

of the University of Oregon. At

Oregon, Newburn confronted a growing university on an understaffed and

underbuilt campus. To attract new faculty to replace the many retiring longtime

members, Newburn convinced the state legislature to allow salary increases and

thus be more competitive in seeking highly qualified professors. To address the

inadequate physical plant, temporary buildings were erected, including quonset huts used as classrooms, and other, more

permanent structures, such as Emerald Hall, the Erb Memorial Union, Carson Hall

and Allen Hall. Under Newburn, the university also increased its library

holdings and its production of graduate degrees. Newbury

resigned from Oregon in 1953 to serve as the first president of the Educational

Television and Radio Center, a project of the Ford Foundation, and served as a consultant to the foundation

in 1958. In 1959, he arrived at the University of Montana.

During his four-year tenure in Missoula, Newburn orchestrated several projects,

including a reorganization of staff, the demolition of older buildings, and

increasing pay for faculty and allotments for research. In 1963, he left

Montana when he was asked to reorganize Arizona State University's Center for the Study of Higher

Education. While remaining on ASU's faculty, Newbury served as the

interim president of Cleveland State University from 1965–66,[5] a position he would return to in 1972–73. He

was named dean of ASU's college of education in 1968 and was brought on as

acting president in 1969 after the resignation of G. Homer Durham as

president. He became the permanent president of ASU in 1970, a year in which he

bucked with university administration and the Arizona Board of Regents by

refusing to support the termination of Morris Starsky. Nearing the end of his academic career,

Newburn did not desire to take on another presidency position, but he agreed to

serve as ASU's president until a more permanent replacement was named. In

1971, John W. Schwada became

ASU's 13th president,[6] and Newburn conducted an eight-month-long study

of the structure of British universities for the Carnegie Corporation of

New York. After his second yearlong tenure as interim

president of Cleveland State, Newburn returned to the Phoenix area, where he died of a heart attack on August

25, 1974.
