His life after the war was in academia. In 1950 he received a PhD in History from the University of Texas. He then taught at Louisiana State University, Tulane, and Yale. Moving into administration, he became Dean of Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans in 1953. He held that post for twelve years before joining the U. S. State Department going to India for four years with the Education Division of the Department’s Agency for International Development. In 1969 Jack accepted a position at the University of Southern California (USC) as Vice President for Academic Affairs, and he spent the decade of the 1970s as President of that institution before retiring in 1980. When he retired as President of USC, he did not retire as a history professor.
