Upon taking office Flint was faced with what was then the largest expense deficit of any American university. Despite these challenges, his administration saw a period of academic growth for the University, including the expansion of the School of Education and the establishment of the School of Journalism and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. During Flint\u2019s time as Chancellor the University strengthened the faculty, and created innovative new opportunities for students, such as the Student Dean Program that trained female students for careers in academia. His tenure also saw the construction of Hendricks Chapel and funding for the College of Medicine. Flint traveled extensively for fundraising purposes while Chancellor and shared the lessons of his time abroad in columns in campus and alumni publications. During his extended absences, Flint delegated many tasks and responsibilities for the governance of the University to Vice Chancellor William P. Graham and other administrators who worked to restrict enrollment of Black and Jewish students and to enforce segregated housing. Chancellor Flint left the University in 1936 after being elected a Bishop of the Methodist Church.
