Biographical History
Widely respected academician and ninth President of Oberlin College.
Born in Cleveland (1908), Carr received his education at Dartmouth (A.B. 1929) and Harvard (A.M. 1930, Ph. D. 1935). He taught in the department of political science at the University of Oklahoma (1931-37) and at Dartmouth (1937-56), contributing to the work of the Truman Commission on Civil Rights. He was elected President of Oberlin College in 1960. As President, Carr is known for reorganizing the administrative structure of the College, expanding student participation in decision making, and overseeing the construction of fifteen new campus buildings. The Vietnam years were difficult for Carr; he resigned in 1970, remaining active in national organizations. He returned to Oberlin in 1975 as Visiting Professor. He died in Elyria in 1979.
