Thomas E. Chambers, retired dean of general studies Thomas E. Chambers, dean of general studies at Manhattan College from 1970 to 1988, died on Friday, October 21, 2005. He was 84. Chambers joined the College in 1965 as associate professor of marketing and director of the evening division and summer school, positions he held until his appointment as dean. Prior to Manhattan, he was assistant dean in the school of business at St. John’s University. Under his leadership as dean of general studies, a school that was established for nontraditional students, Chambers developed what was called the Equitable Life Midtown Center. The Center was instituted to cater to adult students who carried full-time jobs. Additionally, he created a validation program for underprepared high school students with college potential, the cooperative program with Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in which the College provided academic courses for the associate degree in nursing from Presbyterian Hospital and the criminal justice program, and established the radiological and health sciences program at the College. Most of these programs have since been absorbed into the current five schools at the College. A former vice chairman, region III, for the Association for Continuing Higher Education, Chambers was the recipient of the Alpha Project Grant, an adult leadership program for minorities in the 1969 Daniel M. Horan, 7/8/05 Sister Rose McGrale, 8/26/05 1970 Ronald V. Conti, 10/9/05 Raul E. Infante, 5/3/01 Thomas G. Whitesell, 10/21/05 1971 Thomas Josephson, 10/30/02 James A. Meade, 11/18/03 1972 Brother Bernard F. Beleto, 9/13/05 1973 Harold M. Pasternak, 5/10/05 James Surrago, 4/25/03 South Bronx. The grant was funded for three years, and Manhattan was one of only seven educational institutions in New York at the time to receive the award under the Higher Education Act of 1969. He held memberships in academic honor societies such as Delta Mu Delta, Alpha Sigma Lambda, Pi Sigma Epsilon and Alpha Kappa Psi. Before launching a career in higher education, the Brooklyn native served in World War II as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. He was a man of many interests and hobbies, including music, gardening, painting and carpentry. A talented artist, Chambers even has had one of his paintings displayed in the Merchant Marine Academy Museum. Aside from his numerous talents, he was consistently dedicated to his students and to promoting education. Of all things, Chambers was first a teacher, says daughter Joan Chambers. “He was a vivacious, energetic and animated speaker who encouraged his students to question,” she says. “He could refer you to a book on most every subject that he had already read.” His daughter fondly remembers going to work with Chambers as a child and that he made her feel important by including her and her siblings in his professional life. He wanted to show them that work could also be fun. 1974 Regina D. Rieth, 9/14/05 Michael E. Vacek, 11/26/05 1977 Dr. Francis J. Colace, 5/1/05 Anthony V. Sarni, 3/12/05 1978 Grace Hirsh, 7/16/05 1981 Cecilia Moran Hayes, 7/18/05 1983 Aileen Reynolds, 9/9/05 He was a man “very committed to his job and the responsibility of providing for his family,” says Joan, who is one of six children. “Manhattan College was a place he loved and felt comfortable about who he was and what he was doing.” Chambers, who moved to Florida after retiring from the College in 1986, received his M.B.A. from New York University in 1959. He also held bachelor’s degrees in business administration from St. John’s University and in marine science from U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Chambers carried a professional mates license from the U.S. Coast Guard. Chambers’ wife, Katherine, predeceased him. He is survived by six children and 12 grandchildren. manhattan.edu alumnotes e-mail your news to alumnotes@manhattan.edu 45
