In Memoriam: Brig. Gen. Alfred F. Harley (1928-2013)

In addition to the accomplishments described above, the citation highlighted the nationwide recognition of many of UNT's academic programs; creation of the UNT Office of Postgraduate fellowships; establishment of UNT's Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science; transformation of the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine into the UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth; and creation of the UNT System Center at Dallas, including creation by statute, of UNT at Dallas - the first public university within the Dallas city limits. In addition to teaching courses to undergraduate and graduate students, he and his wife continued to play a key role in organizing UNT's annual Military History seminar which enabled business and community leaders throughout Texas to hear and question both a leading scholar and a current or retired military officer who had served in combat discuss various topics.
