ERNEST C. MOORE
UCLA’S first chief executive officer, Moore played a major role
in the founding and early development of the Los Angeles
campus.
A professor of education and philosophy who taught at UC
Berkeley, Yale, and Harvard, Moore had envisioned turning the
southern branch of the University of California into a teacher’s
college to rival those at Columbia University and the University of
Chicago.
EARLE R. HEDRICK
In 1924, Hedrick joined the faculty of UCLA as a professor and
chairman of the mathematics department.
Holding degrees from Michigan, Harvard and Goettingen University
in Germany, Hedrick was considered one of the eminent scholars in
his field.
He went on to become an instrumental force in shaping the
physical and academic plan of the campus.
In 1937, Hedrick was named vice president and provost of the Los
Angeles campus.
CLARENCE A. DYKSTRA
Dykstra was UCLA’s chief executive during the post World War II
era.
He came to UCLA after having served as president of the
University of Wisconsin for eight years.
A skilled recruiter who added hundreds of distinguished
academics to the faculty roster, Dykstra was well liked by many
members of the campus community.
RAYMOND B. ALLEN
UCLA’s first leader to hold the title of chancellor, Allen
presided over a period of tremendous growth and change at UCLA.
A doctor himself, Allen greatly expanded the university’s
medical focus and founded the Center for Health Services.
But after an athletics scandal involving payments to athletes,
Allen lost the confidence of the regents and stepped down.
VERN O. KNUDSEN
Knudsen was chancellor for only one brief, but productive year.
He emphasized graduate studies and research in his tenure.
He resigned in 1960 after 38 years at UCLA.
FRANKLIN D. MURPHY
Often credited with bringing UCLA to national prominence, Murphy
is considered one of UCLA’s greatest chancellors.
Both UCLA’s campus and reputation took off under his tenure.
He hand-selected Charles Young as his successor before leaving
UCLA to become chairman and CEO of the Times Mirror Co.
CHARLES E. YOUNG
The longest-serving university chief executive in the country,
Young became UCLA’s chancellor when he was only 36.
UCLA became one of the nation’s largest and most respected
public universities under his watch, as the school’s annual budget
grew from $170 million to $1.6 billion.
Although his tenure was at times controversial, Young has been
lauded as a major force in public higher education.
