Stewart to Hold Green Chair

Charles Stewart III of the Department of Political Science has been 
selected to be the next holder of the Cecil and Ida Green Career 
Development Professorship for a two-year term.

The appointment was announced by Professor John M. Deutch, MIT provost, 
who said it had the strong endorsement of Dr. Suzanne Berger, Ford 
International Professor of Political Science and head of the Department 
of Political Science, and Professor Ann F. Friedlaender, dean of the 
School of Humanities.

Professor Stewart, whose research and teaching involve American 
politics, legislative politics, campaigns and elections, and research 
methods, is presently on leave from MIT at the National Fellows Program 
of the Hoover Institute in Stanford, Calif. He will return to MIT next 
semester.

Professor Stewart, 32, holds the BA (1979) from Emory University and the 
AM (1982) and the PhD (1985), both from Stanford University. His 
doctoral thesis was "The Politics of Structural Reform: Reforming the 
Budgetary Process in the House, 1865-1921." He joined the MIT faculty in 
1985.

His nonacademic positions include contributor to World  Confidential 
Report, Toray Corporate Business Research, Inc., since 1988, and 
consultant to the Commission on the Status and Role of Women in the 
United Methodist Church, since 1987.

Professor Stewart has served on several of his department's committees 
and since 1988 has been a faculty fellow at Burton House.
