Dr. Clarence W. Stephens was named vice president of operations for the Edwardsville campus on August 11, 1961. President Morris had been personally directing affairs in the Southwestern Illinois region since Dr. Harold See had unexpectedly requested to return to research on November 19 of the previous year. It eventually became evident that Dr. See, who had so ably guided the residence centers and had worked tirelessly to bring about the reality of anew Edwardsville campus, had reached a fundamental disagreement with President Morris over academic planning. See's replacement, Dr. Stephens, had served as the university budget officer since 1958.
