Biographical History
James Hester became president of New York University in 1962 after serving as Executive Dean of Arts and Sciences for two years. His tenure as president included a period of widespread student unrest as well as major institutional restructuring. Financial distress brought about the sale of the University Heights campus in the Bronx in 1972, and relocation of the oldest college, University College, to Washington Square, where it merged with Washington Square College. The engineering colleges merged with Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. Hester became President of United Nations University in 1975.
