Herbert E. Hawkes had awesome hair. He was also Dean of Columbia College for a long, long time, helping pass through many of the reforms which helped build the Core Curriculum. A defender of the liberal arts, he opposed the "Columbia plan," which would have allowed College students to graduate in less than four years.
A mathematician by training, he joined the faculty in 1910, becoming acting dean in 1917 and ascending to the full deanship a year later.
He possibly may or may not have made remarks that may or may not be later interpreted as anti-Semitic.
