Notes about Roger William HEYNS

Roger W. Heyns
Chancellor, 1965-1971
"He came like a gift of heaven to leadership of the Berkeley campus. He was an ambassador of good will when so many others were expressing ill will." So stated President Emeritus Clark Kerr in 1995 when news came of the death of Roger Heyns in Volos, Greece on September 11th.

With an A.B. (1940) from Calvin College and both M.A. (1942) and Ph.D. in psychology (1949) from the University of Michigan, Roger Heyns joined the University of Michigan faculty in 1947, received the Outstanding Teaching Award in 1952, and the Faculty Distinguished Service Award in 1958. When he was called to the Berkeley Chancellorship in 1965 he was serving as Vice President of the University of Michigan.

In an oral history interview which he completed in 1986, Heyns recalled of his coming to Berkeley: "I think I came because of the opportunities that Berkeley provided. I also recognized that the problems they were facing were real." During his eight years at the helm, he began the special minority admissions program and saw to successful conclusion major building projects that had been planned before his incumbency: the Lawrence Hall of Science, honoring the Berkeley career of Ernest Orlando Lawrence, and the University Art Museum, made possible in part by the gift of many of his paintings by Hans Hofmann, a German emigrée who had been welcomed to the Berkeley campus in 1933.
