C. William Emory, professor emeritus of marketing

Emory taught marketing and business research methods, and, in 1966, he was a founding director of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, which provides scholarships to encourage and enable the largest possible number of talented African-American, Hispanic-American and Native American college graduates to enroll in graduate business programs.

He also revitalized the bachelor of science in business administration program as its director from 1978 to 1982, and, in 1982, he became the first associate dean for the Executive MBA (EMBA) program, which he created and directed until his retirement in 1991.

"Bill was not just the architect of a superb program, he encouraged his students to become part of the Washington University family," said John F. Danahy, chairman of Famous-Barr Co., who received an MBA degree from the University in 1985.

Stuart I. Greenbaum, Ph.D., dean of the business school said: "Bill's contributions are a durable legacy at Olin. His development of the EMBA program at Olin opened new vistas and moved the school to a steeper trajectory toward eminence."

Emory, who was born in Mechanicsburg, Ohio, served in the Marine Corps and in the U.S. Navy in World War II. He earned three degrees --a bachelor's, a master's and a doctorate --from Ohio State University in Columbus.

Among the survivors are his wife, Jean Emory; a daughter, Patricia Phelps of Los Angeles; a sister, Helen Holloway of Birmingham, Mich.; and two grandchildren.

Formerly of Kirkwood, Mo., Charters joined the University in 1956 as associate professor of education and sociology in Arts and Sciences. He was named professor of education in 1964 and served in that capacity until 1966 when he left for the University of Oregon. He was named professor emeritus at Oregon in 1987.

Charters led the effort of scholars to bring the behavioral sciences to bear on solving problems in education. He published four books on school boards, administrative behavior and learning in social settings.
