John Silber

John Robert Silber (August 15, 1926 – September 27, 2012) was an American academician and candidate for public office. From 1971 to 1996 he was President of Boston University and from 1996 to 2002 Chancellor of the University. From 2002 to 2003 he again served as President (Ad Interim), and from 2003 until his death he held the title of President Emeritus. In 1990, he won the Democratic gubernatorial primary to become one of two major-party candidates for governor of Massachusetts in the general election of 1990. He lost that election to the Republican William Weld, who won by 38,000 votes.〔(Weld Beats Silber In Tight Governor's Race | News | The Harvard Crimson )〕
Taking his PhD at Yale, Silber was professor of philosophy and served as dean of the University of Texas's College of Arts and Sciences (1967–70). He had a liberal reputation in his days at Texas, though at Boston University he was best known as a conservative spokesman in academe.
==Family and education==
Silber was born in San Antonio, Texas,〔(John Silber Feted at Gala Tribute - re> BOSTON, April 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ )〕 the second son of Paul George Silber, an immigrant architect from Germany, and Jewell (née Joslin) Silber, a Texas-born elementary school teacher. Both of his parents were Presbyterians. As an adult, he learned that his father's side of the family was Jewish and that his aunt had been killed at Auschwitz. His father had never said anything about it.〔
Silber was a member of the National Honor Society at Jefferson High School in San Antonio, and played trumpet in the school band. He graduated from Jefferson in 1943. At Trinity University in San Antonio, he double-majored in fine arts and philosophy.〔THE ALCALDE, July/August 2007, p. 30.〕 In the fall of 1943, as a freshman at Trinity, he met a sophomore named Kathryn Underwood, daughter of farmers from Normanna, Texas. The couple were engaged in January 1946 and married on July 12, 1947. Silber graduated ''summa cum laude'' from Trinity in June 1947. Silber and his wife had eight children, one son and six daughters by birth and one son by adoption. Their first-born son and daughter were born before 1955. Five more daughters were born over the next eleven years.〔(Boston University News Release March 26, 2005 "Kathryn Underwood Silber: Texas Native Was First Lady of Boston University for 25 Years" )〕 Their first-born son, David Silber, died of AIDS at age 41 at their home in December 1994.〔("Profile: Applying the Silber Standard to Boston U." ) by David Barboza ''The New York Times'' Nov. 5, 1995〕〔("The Last Candid Man, A Homophobe Hides Behind His Right to Discriminate" ), by Richard Goldstein, ''The Village Voice'', October 15, 2002〕 His wife Kathryn died in 2005.〔
