Donald E. Stokes, 69, died of acute leukemia on January 26. Class of 1943 University Professor of Politics and Public Affairs since 1979, he came to Princeton as the third dean of the Woodrow Wilson School in 1974 and stepped down in 1992 but continued as an active member of the faculty.
During Stokes's tenure at the Woodrow Wilson School, its faculty nearly doubled in size, and its graduate program developed an interdisciplinary core curriculum and expanded public affairs program. The school expanded its undergraduate program by increasing the number of majors, creating interdisciplinary courses, and offering opportunities to study public policy issues raised by advances in science, engineering and the humanities. The Center of International Studies was revitalized, and the Center of Domestic and Comparative Policy Studies was established.Politics, Chemistry gain faculty
