From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orville Hickock Schell III (born May 20, 1940) was Dean of the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and authored numerous works on the history of China.
Schell, a critic of factory farming[1], joined the company Niman Ranch (then named "Niman-Schell") with Bill Niman in 1978 with the objective of raising cattle in a humane and environmentally sound manner. Schell left the company in 1999.[2] In 1984 he wrote a book about meat production in the United States.[3]
Schell has a masters degree from UC Berkeley's Department of History, and an undergraduate degree from Harvard University in Far Eastern history. He served as an exchange student at National Taiwan University in the 1960s, and has authored 14 books, nine on China. In 1968, he signed the “Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.[4]
In April of 2006, Schell announced his intention to resign as Dean.[5] He will be replaced by Dianne Lynch.[6]
He is the older brother of Jonathan Schell.[7]
