The Howard Years at Lewis & Clark 1 960-1 981
In 1960, when John R. "Jack" Howard assumed the
presidency of Lewis & Clark College, he was one of the
nation's youngest college presidents. At age 37, he brought
with him, not only boundless energy and creative vision,
but experience gained at his a/ma mater, the University of
Pennsylvania, where he taught political science and became
the university's business manager, and at Lake ForestC ollege,
north of Chicago, where he was chosen vice president and
later named acting president. As the twentieth president of
Lewis & Clark, he was only the second president to serve
on the Fir Acres campus. Howard succeeded Morgan S.
Odell, another beloved president, who shepherded the
College through eighteen pioneering years on Palatine Hill.
For the 21 years of his presidency, Jack Howard achieved
a remarkable record. The turbulent times and tragic events
of the 1960s and 1970s challenged higher education in
America, and Howard held to his belief in the marketplace
of ideas and academic freedom. He was fond of saying,
"To assure that right ideas are heard, all ideas must be
heard." An inspiring leader with an impressive agenda,
he led Lewis & Clark through a period of extraordinary
growth and development. When Jack Howard retired
in 1981, the commemorative program noted: "[W] ith enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence, for the next
two decades he helped shape an institution and lead it from recognized regional standing to a place among
nationally prominent institutions of higher learning in America."

On their first visit to Lewis & Clark in 1960, Jack Howard and his wife, Ruth
Hanners Howard, were "unprepared for the beauty and promise of the campus."
They fell in love with the college on the hill.
Original buildings of the Fir Acres estate had been converted to offices, class
rooms, laboratories, and a chapel, and some temporary and permanent buildings
, .,, had been constructed for other purposes; however, the College made it clear that
one of the challenges the new president would face was "funding and building a
• complex of facilities to nurture the intellectual, spiritual, and physical develop
ment of all associated with the college." This was a task President Howard was
eager to begin.
When Jack Howard retired in 1981, the College had grown from an orignial
campus of 64 acres to 130 acres, and groundbreaking ceremonies had become
regular campus events. Lewis & Clark's transition in 1966, from a Presbyterian
school to an independent, yet chruch-related college, reaffirmed the College's
historical ties with the Presbyterian Chruch and also increased funding opporuni
ties, particularly government grants and loans for construction projects.
Through successful fundraising, well over 20 buildings were constructed

"I was sometimes called 'a man with an edifice complex' during my years at Lewis & Clark. I welcomed such comments, for it
reflected my firm belief that having a building project in planning or under construction is
always helpful to morale on a campus. When no large building was being built, I tried to find some visible small project

campus community aware that we were 'going somewhere."'
-J.R. Howard, The Life & Times of Jack R. Howard, 2002
This was, indeed, a campus "going somewhere." For 21 years, the campus community moved forward with President Howard and honored
him in 2005 by dedicating the new social sciences building, John R. Howard Hall, in his name.

STYLES OURCE
BY MARY GATES
Samson Harman
Washington, D.C.
Enviromental Studies
2016
How would you describe your personal style?
I think my style is fairly vibrant. I like to wear an assortment of thrifted pieces of clothing that are
very eccentric and unique.
Do you have a favorite place to shop?
House of Vintage on Southeast Hawthorne is hands down the greatest place. You can get lost in
it for hours and emerge with the snazziest of clothing articles.
What your favorite city for fashion?
Portland is my favorite city for fashion because it is the only place I can get away with wearing
so many clashing colors, flannels and sweaters. I'm stoked to be growing out a moustache now
and I will most definitely partake in waxing it to make it look fancy.
If you had to relate your personal style to someone famous (real or fictitious), who would that
be?
My personal style relates to the famous character Quinn Kennelly, who is my roommate and a
legend. I really admire her beanie selection and the time she puts into layering her button-ups
with sweaters. She embodies a fashion god and I am inspired by her daily.
What is your favorite article of clothing?
I would have to say my orange hat. It adds a pop of color and keeps me identifiable.
