Dr. Fred V. Cahill Jr., 68, Dies; College Professor and Dean
Dr. Fred V. Cahill Jr., professor emeritus of political science at North Carolina State University, died May 23 at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, N. C., after a long illness. He was 68 years old and lived in Raleigh.
Dr. Cahill joined North Carolina State in 1960 as dean of what was then the undergraduate School of General Studies and later became the first dean of the university's School of Liberal Arts. The division is now the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Dr. Cahill stepped down as dean in 1971 and became a professor of political science. He retired in 1980.

Parents Grace Crossler and Fred V. Cahill, Sr.
