Humphrey Doermann '52, assistant dean for Financial Affairs, will leave Harvard next year to direct spending for a charitable foundation supporting higher education.
Robert E. Kaufman, director of Admissions and Allston Burr Senior Tutor in Leverett House will take over Doermann's post. Doermann was director of Admissions for five years before he moved to Finances in 1966.
Dissertation
Doermann, who wrote his doctoral dissertation here on University financing, will be the first executive director of the Bush Foundation, a Minneapolis charity trust with $200 million in assets.
The foundation gives mostly to regional colleges, orchestras and "the arts." When asked if any of the money would be sent to Harvard, Doermann said, "I don't think so. It's a difficult period, but most universities would give their right arm to be in Harvard's situation."
