Ivan Hinderaker

Ivan Hinderaker ( born April 29, 1916 - died September 23, 2007) was chancellor of the University of California, Riverside from 1964 to 1979. He was the longest-serving chancellor of any UC campus. Hinderaker Hall at UCR is named after him.

Hinderaker was born in Hendricks, Minn., on April 29, 1916. He received his bachelor’s degree from St. Olaf College, and his master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. He was a member of the Minnesota State Legislature in 1941-1942 and served in the U.S. Air Force from 1943 to 1946.

After teaching one year at the University of Minnesota, Hinderaker joined the UCLA faculty in political science in 1949, eventually serving as department chair. In 1963 he was named vice chancellor/academic affairs at UC Irvine, where he served for one year until his appointment as chancellor at UC Riverside.

Hinderaker endeared himself to students during the anti-war protests in the 1960s by inviting protestors into his office for coffee and doughnuts. Hinderaker and former UC Regent Phil Boyd pushed for construction of the carillon tower, a landmark on the UCR campus. He also fought for the UCR/California Museum of Photography.
