Kate’s Notes: I tripped across this article on Dr. Charles E. Gilliland Jr. while searching for information on the Pennsylvania years of Charles L. Gilliland who, in the early 1900’s, was an executive with Aberfoyle in the Philadelphia area and later founded Gilliland Groves in Arizona. I am interested in finding out more about Dr. Charles E. Gilliland, Jr. as well and additional information would be welcome.

Newtown Man Quits as Dean at Temple

    The resignation of Dr. Charles E. Gilliland Jr., 46 Paper Mill Lane, Newtown, as dean of Temple University School of Business Administration was announced today.
    Gilliland will leave Feb.1 to participate in an educational project in Karachi, Pakistan, according to Temple President Dr. Millard D. Gladfelter.
    The project was begun 10 years ago by University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Finance and is sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development, Gladfelter said.
    Gilliland, 48, is expected to return to Temple in September, 1966, as professor of finance, a position he holds in addition to his duties as dean.
    Before coming to Temple, where he was named dean in July, 1960, he served as professor of economics and chariman of the exonomics department at Arizon State University.
