• Notes

  SAUL ORKIN, COLLEGE PRESIDENT Dr. Saul Orkin, president of Union County College in Cranford, N.J., died, apparently of a heart attack, Friday evening at his home in Hillsborough, N.J. He was 60 years old. A 1941 graduate of Union, Dr. Orkin had served as its president since 1974 and presided over its merger last year with Union County Technical Institute. The merger led to Union's conversion to a public institution. As a private institution, the two-year school was known as Union College. Dr. Orkin had earlier served as the school's director of admissions and as social sciences department chairman. He received an A.B. degree from Rutgers University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa; a master's degree in political science from the University of Michigan, and a doctorate in public law and government from Columbia University. He joined Union College's faculty in 1955, teaching government, history and economics. Dr. Orkin was credited with starting the college's Institute for Intensive English in Elizabeth, N.J. In 1967, he was the founding dean of Somerset County College in Branchburg, N.J., before returning to Union College. Dr. Orkin is survived by his wife, Maria; a brother, Robert, of Long Beach, Calif.; and two sons, Philip, of Milwaukee, and Neil. Source: New York Time, 9 October 1983, Obituaries
