COHEN: And what was it called? I know you have to have a name of a position.<br />
BROWNE: Well, at that time it was called the Director of Secondary School Relations.<br />
COHEN: I see. The Director of Secondary School Relations.<br />
BROWNE: Yes. It did not have the minority title it’s got now.<br />
COHEN: OK. It just was Director of Secondary School Relations.<br />
BROWNE: Director of Secondary School Relations. And then later—oh, what’s his name? The<br />
guy from Wales. He used to be the vice-president. Ray Owen.<br />
COHEN: Ray Owen.<br />
BROWNE: When Ray Owen took it up, he changed it. It was Director of Secondary School<br />
Relations and Special Student Programs, because I ran a lot of programs for all kinds of people<br />
that wanted to do stuff in the summer, who wanted to work <strong>with</strong> professors—<br />
COHEN: So when you came here, you sort of had a blank sheet?<br />
BROWNE: Yes.<br />
COHEN: They didn’t say to you, “We’d like this program or that program”?<br />
BROWNE: They said, “Whatever you want to try to do, go ahead and do it. And if we can’t deal<br />
<strong>with</strong> it, somebody will tell you.”<br />
COHEN: OK.<br />
