His 16 years of service to the university saw the establishment of IU campuses in New Albany and Richmond, the formation of various cultural centers on the Bloomington campus and the journalism school becoming a system-wide entity. Ryan retired in 1987 and was immediately appointed president emeritus of Indiana University.
