Biographical History
College president; interviewee married Carl Raushenbush.
Esther Mohr Raushenbush (1898-1980) joined the Sarah Lawrence College faculty in 1935 to teach literature. In 1946, she became Dean of the College, holding that position until 1957. At that point she returned to teaching and, in 1962, founded the Center for Continuing Education at SLC. Her responsibilities at Sarah Lawrence continued to shift when she was appointed President of the College in 1965, a post she held until 1969. Esther Raushenbush died in 1980.
Professor and college president, Esther Mohr McGill Raushenbush was born November 22, 1898, to Jewish immigrant parents who had settled in Seattle, Washington. She received her A.B. (1921) and A.M. (1922) in English from the University of Washington. In 1923 she married Jerry McGill, a Harvard graduate student; she attended Radcliffe (1924-25) but did not complete her degree. After travel and study abroad, she taught at Wellesley and Barnard. She was divorced in 1932 and married Carl Raushenbush, a labor economist, in 1935. She was appointed professor of English at Sarah Lawrence College, where she later served as dean, founder and director of the Center for Continuing Education, and president. After her retirement, Raushenbush was consultant to the John Hay Whitney Foundation (1970-79), helping to develop programs for minorities. She was author of numerous articles on education and of The Student and His Studies (1964). She died in 1980.
