Mark Mancall (1932-2020) helped transform undergraduate learning by starting the Grove
House residential learning project, establishing the vibrant residence-based learning
academic program known as Structured Liberal Education (SLE) and re-envisioning the Overseas
Studies program. An expert on the history, religions, languages and cultures of Central and
Southeast Asia, Mancall joined the faculty of the Department of History in 1965. He received
his bachelor's degree in Far Eastern languages from the University of California, Los
Angeles. He then went on to Harvard University, where he earned his master's degree in East
Asian regional studies and his doctorate in history and Far Eastern languages.
