Scope and content:

Danilo Orescanin completed his Master's degree at Indiana University in 1954 and his doctorate in 1960 in the area of business administration. He went on to a long and successful career which included both teaching and administration at the university level. For example, Orescanin was assistant to the president under Joseph Sutton, vice president for university relations, and many other high-level administrative posts, some of which took him to four of Indiana University's regional campuses. In addition, he continued to teach intermittently and, toward the end of his career, focused solely on teaching in Indiana University's School of Business. In this interview, Orescanin discusses his role in setting up a School of Business at the University of Dacca in Bangladesh through Indiana University, his philosophies of education, different Indiana University presidential administrations, and campus changes.
