William V. Campbell ’62, ’64
TC, winner of the 2000 Alexander Hamilton
Medal and a 1991 John Jay Award for Professional
Achievement, has been elected a University trustee.
Captain of the ’61 Lions football team that shared the Ivy
championship with Harvard, Columbia’s only time atop the Ivy
League, Campbell served as Columbia’s head football coach
from 1974–79. He later became v.p. at J. Walter Thompson,
a New York-based international advertising agency, and later was
general manager of consumer products for Eastman Kodak Europe. Campbell
joined Apple Computer in 1983 as v.p. for marketing, later becoming
executive v.p. In 1987, he left Apple to found Claris, a software
company that was acquired by Apple. In 1991, Campbell became president
and CEO of GO Corp., a software company that was acquired by AT&T.
In 1994, he joined Intuit as president and CEO, becoming chairman
of the board of directors in August 1998. Campbell also serves as
a director of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame.
Campbell is an involved and generous alumnus whose many contributions
to Columbia range from the renovation of the Aldo T. “Buff”
Donelli Intercollegiate Strength Room in Dodge to the endowment
of the Roberta and William Campbell Professorship in Contemporary
Civilization. In a 1974 interview, Donelli, Campbell’s coach,
described him as “the best captain I ever had. He’s
a person who made more of an imprint on people who know him than
anyone I’ve known.”
Columbia’s board comprises 24 trustee positions. Twelve are
elected by the trustees acting alone, six by the trustees working
in consultation with the executive committee of the University Senate,
and six — one each year — after nomination by University
alumni. Campbell was elected as a Senate-consulted trustee.
