-'''Austin E. Quigley''' was the 14th [[Dean of Columbia College]]. A professor of English dramatic literature prior to his elevation to the deanship, he has the most charming British accent. He was succeeded by [[Michele M. Moody-Adams]] on July 1, 2009. Quigley's 14 year tenure as dean is second only to [[John Howard Van Amringe]] (16 years) and [[Herbert Hawkes]] (26 years).

At that task Quigley excelled, earning a reputation as a "champion fundraiser" for the school. He has argued that fund raising for the College, which is the university's most high-profile school, benefits the other schools in the [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]] more than equal allocations would.

 You were also likely to see him as an alum, especially at joint student-alumni events. He will stir your heartstrings with talk of an "intergenerational community" of Columbians extending back to [[1754]] and it is this theme that encouraged record-setting levels of giving from alumni to students.

-Perhaps unfortunately, '''Quigs''' also developed a reputation as an absentee dean during the later years of his deanship. Most students only saw or heard from him on their first day at Columbia at [[Convocation]], and on their last at [[Class Day]] and [[Commencement]]. An exception to the lack of mingling was [[Senior Dinner]], at which Quigley turned on the charm with a routine speech. The speech was evidently recycled, as he asked the Class of 2007 to reflect on their time growing up "in the seventies". However, he has participated in theatrical events, notably playing himself in the 2004 [[Varsity Show]].
+Quigley made sure that the money raised from alumni was directed to student services and student needs, particularly financial aid that is now amongst the best in the country.  The Lerner Hall Student Center has great facilities for students, even though not everybody likes the design.

+'''Quigs''' was immensely popular with students, regularly attending residence hall dinners and organizing small group get togethers where students could get to know him well.  His [[Senior Dinner]] speech, at which Quigley turned on the charm was one of the highlights of graduation festivities. He was often invited to participate in theatrical events appearing in two varsity shows and a performance of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
