Biographical / Historical Note
The College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, originally called the College of Mathematics and Physical Sciences, began in 1968, and was part of six newly created colleges which were grouped as the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences. The College of Mathematics and Physical Sciences included chemistry, physics, astronomy, geodetic science, geology, and mathematics. The first dean of the College was Geoffrey Keller. In 1978, the college's name was changed slightly to College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences to better describe the departments that made up the college.
