| Dean Wallace Colvard was born in Grassy Creek,
N.C. on July 10, 1913. He attended Berea College (B.A., 1935), the University
of Missouri in Columbia (M.A., 1938), and Purdue University (Ph.D., 1950).
Colvard taught at Brevard College (1935 37) and served as a professor of
Animal Science (1947 53) and dean of Agriculture (1953 60) at North Carolina
State College in Raleigh. Colvard became president of Mississippi State
University in 1960. He was named UNC Charlotte's first chancellor in 1966,
a post he held until his retirement in 1978. Colvard subsequently was involved
in the development of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics,
for which he served as chairman of the board of trustees. He also is the
author of Mixed Emotions (1985) and coauthor of Knowledge is Power (1987)
and University Research Park (1988). He and his wife, Martha, reside in
Charlotte. |

are maintained in the archives of the respective institutions. For additional

UNCC Archives, Files of the Director of Public Information and Publication,
