Biographical Note

Paul Dressel was born on November 29, 1910. He received his B.A. from Wittenberg College in 1931, M.A. from Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) in 1934, and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1939. In 1934 he began teaching at Michigan State College, where he stayed until his retirement in 1981. He began his career as an instructor in mathematics.

In 1944, he was named the chairman of the Board of Examiners and the first director of the Counseling Center at Michigan State College. He helped establish the counseling center in response to the presence of World War II veterans. Originally the Counseling Center was for career counseling but expanded to handle personal counseling.

In 1959 he became the director of the Office of Institutional Research and then the Assistant Provost in 1961. In 1964, he was given the additional title of Professor of University Research.

He also contributed to over 20 different books including “College to University: The Hannah Years at Michigan State University, 1935–1969”, “Return to Responsibility”, and “The New Colleges: Toward an Appraisal.” During the period of rapid growth of residential college building in the 1960s, he was involved with improving student assessments. He also served as the president of the American Association for Higher Education in 1970. Following his retirement in 1981 as a Distinguished Professor for the College of Education, he continued to do research and author papers.

Dressel was married to Wilma Frances Sackett and had three daughters, Carol, Linda, and Jenna. He died on November 22, 1989 at the age of 78.

Topics include the registrar, library, women students, homosexuality on campus, counseling center, ROTC honorary colonels, Dean Giltner, President Shaw, Farmers Week, Examinations, President Hannah, Institutional Accreditation, and other experiences in higher education.

Series 2 (Collected Documents) is comprised of documents collected by Paul Dressel during his time at Michigan State University. Many of these collected papers pertain to the establishment of the College of Osteopathic Medicine at MSU.

Series 3 (Figure Skating) is made of figure skating materials from when his wife, Wilma and daughter, Jenna, participated in the sport. There are newsletters from the Lansing Skating club, various figure skating programs which includes Olympic skaters and a young Vera Wang, newspaper clippings, and photos.
