Not everyone fulfills a child-
hood ambition, but Dr. Earl
Lewis, the chaiiperson of
Urban Studies at Trinity
University, has done just
that. A native of McComb,
Miss., Lewis had always
wanted to be a college
professor. A distinguished
professor with a list of
citations and achievements
too numerous to mention,
Lewis said his mother was
an advocate of reading and
he read everything he could
“I wanted to read,” Lewis
said. ‘‘My teachers in Mis*
issippi and my parents were
wonderful to me.” An only
child, Lewis would spend
many hours reading and ob-
taining more knowledge.

aloo College in Tougaloo,
Miss, in 1942, Lewis entered
the military. After being dis-
charged Lewis entered Loyola
University in Chicago where
he received his maters degree
in American History in 1948.
His thirst for knowledge con-
tinued and he received his
Ph.D. in political science
from the University of Chi-
cago in 1951.
For the next two years,
Lewis was a visiting pro-
fessor at Howard University.
From 1953 to 1968 Lewis
taught at Prairie View A & M
University before joining the
staff of Trinity University in
1968.
“We have 180 graduates
now working in the local,
state and national level in
urban development,” Lewis
said. “We have a rich mix-
ture of people in the program
Black, Mexican and Anglo.”
Lewis explained that Urban
Studies is a graduate program
which train people for pro-
fessional services in govern-
ment.
Lewis has served on
numerous committees and
commissions He was a mem-
ber of the City Charter Re-
vision Committee, Texas
Urban Development Com-
mission and the Texas Con-
stitutional Revision Com-
mission which rewrote the
Texas Constitution in 1973
and was voted down by the
citizens of Texas in 1974.
Thirty seven persons worked
on that commission.
Lewis and his wife, Hazelyn,
are the parents of three
children, Peter, Ronald aifd
Alicia.
