University of Connecticut. Office of the President.
George Alan Works assumed the presidency of Connecticut Agricultural College in 1929 after a distinguished career at the University of Chicago. Works called for improvement of the college's programs in liberal arts and the natural sciences, as well as in agriculture and mechanic arts. When the obstacles to his ambitious plans for development appeared to be too formidable, Works resigned his position after one year to accept another position at Chicago. The most important achievement of his administration was the accreditation of the college in 1930.
