Biographical Note
Brage Golding was appointed president of Kent State University in 1977 succeeding
Glenn Olds. The campus was still in turmoil following
the shootings of four students on May 4, 1970 and the Tent
City Gym Annex protests of 1976/77.
Golding was born in Chicago and graduated from Purdue University. He served
in the military during World War II. His academic career included service as
vice president of Miami University of Ohio and Ohio State University. He also
worked as a chemical engineer at Lilly Industrial Coatings Company. In 1966
he became the first president of the then new Wright State University in Dayton,
Ohio. After six years at Wright State, he went to San Diego State and served
as president there from 1972-1977.
Golding remained at Kent State until 1982 when he retired to Connecticut.
