A chapter in Strength in Numbers: The Rising of Academic Statistics Departments in the U. S, 2012, pp 257-268 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Paul D. Minton graduated with Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mathematics from Southern Methodist University (SMU). Following the completion of his doctoral degree in Statistics from the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) in 1951, he returned to SMU along with a vision of a unique Statistics Department within a university that had as its primary mission a broad-based liberal arts undergraduate education. Minton’s vision focused on his belief that statisticians were collaborators and that there was no limit on opportunities for collaboration in Statistics, regardless of the nature and mission of an academic institution. The key to achieving this vision was the collaborative merging of interests and opportunities within the university and throughout the local region.
