William Todd, professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature, was named the new dean of undergraduate education effective July 1997, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles announced yesterday.
Because current Dean of Undergraduate Education Lawrence Buell will step down at the end of this semester, Knowles selected Ford Professor of the Social Sciences David Pilbeam to serve as dean during the 1996-97 academic year.
"With the help of [Todd and Pilbeam], the Faculty will be excellently supported and our students thoughtfully served in the coming four years," Knowles said in a statement.
According to a press release, Pilbeam and Todd will advise Knowles on matters pertaining to Harvard's curriculum. As deans, they will also serve as co-chair of the Educational Policy Committee, which reviews broad curriculum questions.
Knowles also said the faculty should realize the "exhaustive efforts" made by the architects and the University to find a reasonable solution to the problems.
