"Despite this fame, Stern “certainly considered himself preeminently a Columbia person,” said Robert Paxton, the Mellon Professor Emeritus of Social Sciences. He taught or supervised “an enormous load of students.” In 1962–63, Stern chaired an ad hoc committee that reviewed the Humanities core. Although he avoided becoming history department chair, he was provost 1982–83 and acting provost in 1987." - Cross.
