View source for Frederick A. Goetze

'''Frederick A. Goetze''' was a Dean of [[SEAS]] and Treasurer of Columbia. His appointment in [[1906]] was considered innovative since it signaled a severance of the role of Dean and the teaching of students. Goetze was not a member of the faculty - rather, he had served as the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds for seven years prior to his appointment of dean.<ref>http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F70E15FB3D5512738DDDAF0894D9415B868CF1D3&pagewanted=all</ref> a A bench dedicated to his memory was erected outside of the [[Mathematics Hall]] in [[1951]] (when it was still the School of Engineering building).<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19511119-01.2.3</ref> Like so many other campus monuments, it was eventually moved, taking up residence in the late 2000s on the west side of [[Low Library]], mirroring a similar marble exedra donated by the classes of [[1886]] already located on the east side of Low.
