      This page saves the important information on UW Oshkosh Music Department Faculty home pages which was deleted when they left, retired or passed away. The first Music Faculty pages were created around May 1998. Every Faculty member who has ever had a page is listed here. For a compact display of photos of most Current and Former Faculty since May 1998, see the UW Oshkosh Music Department Gallery page.

      General assumption: every listed individual started in the Fall Semester of the indicated year. I have no information about anyone who may have started in the Spring Semester. Except for those who passed away while they were still employed, Charles Combe and Carol Winborne, I also have no information about the actual first day or last day of work for anyone else in the Music Department.

      Disclaimer: Note the dates that follow each name for the begin and end years of their time in the Music Department. The biographical information displayed for Former Faculty was extracted verbatim from the most recent update done prior to the page being deleted. It is only as accurate as it was when it was last updated by the Department.

Oshkosh Past Presidents and Chancellors (including all known Acting-Presidents and Acting-Chancellors)
      Interim-Chancellor - another term found in my research. It has not been seen in any of the sources that the four known Acting-Presidents / Acting-Chancellors were ever officially called Interim-Chancellor.

      The on-line History of UW Oshkosh does not yet include a complete list of all past Presidents and Chancellors. The following list was created from on-line searches, the printed resources listed on my UW Oshkosh Music Department Sources page, and finally, for details I could find nowhere else, the ten photographs displayed on the walls on the second floor of Dempsey Hall. [[4-08-2009: The photos have been taken down and put in safe storage while renovations are being done in the hall. They will be remounted soon.]] A complete list of all the various names of our School are listed on my UW Oshkosh Discography page.

Known President/Chancellor lists for Wisconsin campuses

      Interesting Trivia: A Google search of "Who's Who in Wisconsin" finds many people who are supposedly listed in that book, however, an Amazon search finds no such book exists. The only books found that were somewhat related were "Who's Who in Sports in Wisconsin", "Who's Who in the Midwest", Who's Who in the Central States (1929 and 1947 editions), one copy of each are only in the Milwaukee Public Library, UW-Madison and Carroll College (aka Carroll University) libraries, and the 1960 Moore's Who is Who in Wisconsin below, which I have, and, according to WISCAT, about 40 other Libraries in Wisconsin also have. Unfortunately, it lists no Educators.

Moore, John M., Moore's Who is Who in Wisconsin, 1960 - from page iii, "Outstanding men and women representative of Wisconsin's business, economic, and professional life are named."

      Has the much quoted "Who's Who in Wisconsin" book ever existed or not?
