FORMER ARKANSAS EDUCATOR DIES IN TEXAS
Mr. E. L. Angell, Executive Director of the Commission on Coordination of
Higher Educational Finance, from its creation in 1961 to 1969, died in Denton,
Texas on March 20, 1972. He came to Arkansas from the post of Vice Chancellor
of the Texas A & M System to become the first Executive Director of the Arkansas
Commission. During his years of leadership with the Commission the colleges
and universities of Arkansas began their first unified request for funds to the
General Assembly.
While in Arkansas he was instrumental in obtaining increased funds for the
operation of the colleges and universities and a multi-million dollar building and.
improvement program was completed on the campuses. The first Statewide Study
of Arkansas Higher Education was completed in 1965 under his leadership. In the
Fall of 1964 a Constitutional Amendment was passed by the voters of the State to
allow for the establishment of community junior colleges. Later, in 1965 Mr.
Angell was instrumental in the passage of the first Community Junior College Act
for the State.
His interests covered the entire area of education which was shown by his efforts
toward the establishment of a National Laboratory for Education in Little Rock. In
1965 he worked with educators from seven surrounding states to establish the South
Central Region Educational Laboratory in Little Rock. He was a member of various
professional organizations including the State Higher Education Executive Officers,
Association of Governing Boards, the Land Grant College and University Association
and the Education Commission of the States.
Mr. Angell was known in National circles for his special ability in Higher Education
finance. He participated in cost studies in Texas and worked with a national study
committee while in Arkansas.
His B. A. degree was from North Texas State University and the Master's from
Columbia University. He did post graduate work at the University of Chicago. He
was a retired Lt. Colonel from the U. S. Army.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Angell, of Denton. Funeral services will
be held at 3:00 P. M. , March 22, at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Denton,
Texas. Schmitz-Floyd-Hamlett Funeral Home of Denton will be in charge of
arrangements.
