- This collection contains a selection of unpublished letters written by Jacob Hugh Jackson (1931-1956) during his tenure as dean of the Graduate School of Business. The school’s second dean, Jacob Hugh Jackson (1931–1956), held the longest tenure of any dean to date, seeing the school through the lean days of World War II and into the ’50s.
