From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harold Leroy Enarson (born May 24, 1919 died July 31, 2006 in Washington) was the 9th President of the Ohio State University . Prior to joining Ohio State University, he served as the first President of Cleveland State University, from 1966 to 1972.[1]
After leaving the university Enarson commented that he would be remembered most for his firing of popular Ohio State Buckeyes football coach Woody Hayes, though events such as Archie Griffin's two Heisman Trophies or graduate Paul Flory's Nobel Prize were highpoints. Ohio State President Karen Holbrook said of Enarson, "Today, Ohio State’s programs are stronger and its reputation more eminent, thanks to Harold Enarson."[2]
