History
Hans Carol (1915-1971), educator and author, was appointed professor and chair of the Department of Geography at York University in 1962. He remained chair until
1967 when he took up an appointment as director of the Graduate Programme in Geography, remaining in that post until shortly before his death. His early interest was in African geography and the urban geography of Zurich, but he became increasingly interested in the theory and methodology of geographic study in his later years.
