Biography / Administrative History

Harold S. Jacoby (1907-2000) was a Professor of Sociology at the University of the Pacific (1933-62, 1968-76) and Dean of the College of the Pacific (1962-68). Jacoby was also a memeber of the staff of the Tule Lake Relocation Center in California (1942), The Japanese-American Resettlement Program in Chicago (1943), and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Program in the Middle East (1944). During the 1950s and 60s Jacoby was often involved in community affairs of Stockton, California. He regularly sent his students into the community to analyze and write about its institutions and structure. Jacoby himself completed a census analysis project (1950) that later formed the basis for Stockton school desegregation. He also served on a Mayor's Cross-town Freeway Relocation Committee (1967).

Jacoby has been a visiting professor at the University of Connecticut, Wittenburg College, Whittier College, Yamaguchi University (1956/57) and at Millsaps College (1968-71) where he served for a time as Acting President.

Jacoby has published: A Half-century appraisal of East Indians in the United States (6th Annual COP Faculty Research Lecture, 1956); Pacific: Yesterday and the Day before That (1989); From Dar el Shifa to Dar es Salaam; or, What did you do in the War, Grandpa? (1992); and, Tule Lake: From Relocation to Segregation (1995). He is best remembered, however, as a teacher.
