The Department of Statistics was established in 1948, and by 1950, it boasted a faculty of five esteemed members: Albert Bowker, Abraham Girshick, Quinn McNemar (who had a joint appointment with Psychology), Kenneth Arrow (who shared a joint appointment with Economics), and Herman Rubin. The subsequent half-decade (1956–1961) witnessed remarkable expansion within the university. This period saw significant developments such as the relocation of the expansion efforts for the Statistics Department. The initial doctoral degrees were conferred upon Herbert Solomon (1950) and Lincoln Moses (1951). From that point onward, the department has granted nearly 500 doctorates, and starting in the early 1980s, it has also awarded over 1200 master's degrees.
