On Campus FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY August 4, 1989 [Photograph] Harry Harootunian New humanities dean appointed Harry D. Harootunian, who chairs the Department of History at the University of Chicago, has been appointed dean of the Division of Humanities and professor of history, effective this September. "We are delighted with this appointment," said Chancellor Robert Stevens. "Professor Harootunian is a scholar on the cutting edge of history and social sciences. As an expert on the history of Japan, he will bring a Pacific Rim focus to our work, and he brings, as well, considerable administrative skills to this important position." Harootunian succeeds Hayden White, professor of history of consciousness, who has served as acting dean since the post was relinquished June 30 by professor of literature Michael H. Cowan. Cowan, who had held the position for six years, plans to return to full-time teaching and research. An authority on Japan and the Far East, Harootunian is the Max Palevsky Professor of History and Civilizations and a professor in the Departments of History and Far (continued on back) Lick facility rededicated On Friday, July 21, Lick Observatory rededicated its main building, following a year of reconstruction for seismic safety. The ceremony, which also marked the reopening of the observatory's popular visitors program, was attended by more than 200 people. Lick's main building was built in 1888 and houses the observatory's 40-inch Nickel Telescope and 36-inch refractor in domes at each end of the structure. The larger dome suffered earthquake damage in 1984, and, in a year-long project, that damage was repaired and the entire structure brought up to current earthquake safety standards.
