\u. 2 Portland Observer, November 11, 1987 James Cash Jr. is the first and only Black tenured full professor at the Harvard University Business School. James Cash: Harvard University's Computer Whiz Professor James I. Cash Jr., the first and only Black tenured full professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Business, is profiled in the Octo ber Ebony. Cash joined Harvard in 1976 as an assistant professor and became a full professor by 1985 which he says "was the fastest you can do it if you come in at the bottom ." The professor, with a Ph.D. in management infor mation systems, has recent college grads and executives from top corpora tions as students; oversees a multi-million dollar project to electronically access the school's information "banks"; and travels the world doing com puter research. He has introduced four computer courses for the MBA program, written three computer-related books and organized the com puter club, one of the school's most popular student organizations. Cash got hooked on computers when he was an honor student at all- Black I.M. Terrell High School in Texas. Thrilled by the "surge of power you can get only when you feel like you have command of the machine," he knew he wanted to work with computers. Cash even has three com puters at home. In school, he also excelled in sports, which led the Pittsburg Pirates to draft him for baseball in his senior year in high school. The Seattle Super- sonics drafted him for basketball when he attended Texas Christian Univer sity, where he made sports history as the first Black to play college basket ball in the Southwest Conference in 1965. ,‘r « ô •' i • • • ■ ■ • Black Press Honor Roll Stanley S.
