Delyte Morris of SIU

This biography delves into the transformative leadership of Delyte Morris, who took SIU from a small college to a thriving university with a student body of almost 35,000. Morris created innovative programs, such as Ph.D. programs and family housing, and established countless university services such as a TV station, FM radio station, and news service. He was a champion of ecology and an advocate for the disabled long before it was fashionable to do so. Through the guidance of Morris, SIU became an important part of southern Illinois' community.
