Wachman taught history for 14 years at Colgate University and was director of the Salzburg Seminar in Austria for two years. In 1961, he was asked to become president of Lincoln University, an historically black institution, which was having financial and accreditation problems. He hired new faculty, increased enrollment and raised money to re-establish the university's academic standing. In 1969, he was appointed vice president for academic affairs at Temple University and, in 1973, became president. During his tenure, he founded new campuses in Tokyo, Japan, and in the Center City of Philadelphia. He retired in 1983 and was president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia from 1983 to 1989. During the 1990s, he was interim president of Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, now known as Philadelphia University.[1]
Wachman was the author of History of the Social-Democratic Party of Milwaukee, 1897-1910 (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1945). He published a memoir, The Education of a University President (Temple University Press), in 2005.[1]
