In 1946, Emperor Haile Selassie, who favoured the Jesuit educational philosophy,[2] asked Matte to help organize the country's educational system.[3] The emperor followed this in 1950 with a request that Matte help establish a university. This was known as the University College of Addis Ababa (now Addis Ababa University) and Matte served as President from 1952 to 1962.[4] He then served as president of the University of Sudbury from 1962 to 1966.[1]
