When he returns to teaching, Knowles will rejoin the ranks of the Faculty he first entered in 1974 when he arrived at Harvard from Oxford University.
During his tenure, Knowles led the Faculty through a number of major initiatives in curricular reform, physical planning and fundraising.
Having faced a $11.7 million deficit upon his arrival, by the end of just his first semester as dean, Knowles announced that the deficit had fallen to $7.5 million.
But by 1996, just five years after his arrival, Knowles had cut the deficit by more than twenty-fold, to $530,000.
As he scrutinized budgets, Knowles also put undergraduate education under the microscope.
