Summary:University president Theodore C. Landsmark was born on May 17, 1946 in Kansas City, Missouri. Educated at Yale University, he received his Ph.D. degree from Boston University. In 1977, Landsmark became the subject of a famous 1977 Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that showed him being attacked by a man with an American flag on the steps of Boston's Government Center. Landsmark was the dean of graduate and continuing education at the Massachusetts College of Art. From 1997 to 2014, he was the president of the Boston Architectural Center, the largest architecture school on the East Coast. He contributed articles and lectured about architecture and urban planning, as well as writing and speaking about eighteenth- and nineteenth-century African American art. His research earned him fellowships from the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts and the National Science Foundation. A senior fellow of the Design Futures Council, he also served on the organization's executive board.
