Theodore S. (Ted) Stern, president emeritus of the College of Charleston, died on January 18. He was 100. During his leadership, from 1968 to 1978, the college admitted its first African-American students, and enrollment increased from 432 student to more than 5,300.

J. Blaine Hudson, a longtime professor of history and Pan-African studies at the University of Louisville, died on January 5. He was 63. He had the distinction of occupying the dean’s office first as a student protester, in 1969, and later as dean of the university’s College of Arts and Sciences, from 2005 to 2012. He was a key organizer of the 1969 demonstration, which shut down the dean’s office over demands for, among other things, the hiring of more black faculty members and the creation of the Pan-African-studies department. He ended up as chair of the department, from 1998 to 2003.

Correction (2/18/2013, 6:54 p.m.): The original version of this article said that Steven Muller, president emeritus of the Johns Hopkins University, created the Peabody Institute at the university. The Peabody Institute was founded in 1857. Mr. Muller created the music school’s affiliation with the university. The article has been corrected to reflect that.
