Vernon Alden (MBA 1950), has passed away at age 97. A former associate dean and faculty member at HBS, Alden would go on to become the president of Ohio University at age 38. He would later help support President Lyndon Johnson develop the Job Corps program, part of Johnson’s “war on poverty.”
His daughter Anne, in a message to the HBS Alumni office, notes that Alden had a long-standing interest in Japan, teaching advanced management seminars there and assisting in the creation of Japan's first graduate school of business administration at Keio University. She also notes that, while at HBS, he began the Institute for College and University Administrators, financed by the Carnegie Corp. of New York, which conducted case study seminars for college presidents, deans, and trustees.
