A memorial service for Deane W. Malott, Cornell University president from 1951 to 1963, will be held Sunday, Oct. 20, at 3 p.m. at Sage Chapel on campus.

Malott passed away on Sept. 11 at his home in Ithaca, N.Y. He was 98.

As Cornell's sixth president, Malott presided over a period of rapid expansion of the university in the post--World War II years. Under his direction, Cornell's budget grew from $42 million at the start of his tenure to $110 million, faculty salaries increased by more than 60 percent, and growth in sponsored research grew from less than $15 million to more than $45 million annually.

Prior to coming to Cornell, Malott was chancellor at the University of Kansas for 12 years. His earlier career included teaching and administrative responsibilities at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and a business career as a personal assistant to James Dole, founder of the Dole Pineapple Co.

The memorial service will be followed immediately by a reception at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art on campus.
