In Memoriam

Biographies of UC Faculty and Administrators

The In Memoriam is an Academic Senate publication produced by its faculty to honor deceased colleagues. It is our hope that these memorials will serve as fitting tributes to those departed friends, who served the University of California so well.

The systemwide Senate has published memorials on its website since 2002. Many memorials for the years 1928-2001 could previously be found at the University of California History Digital Archives. However, that site is no longer maintained. This Internet Archive site allows you to find memorials listed alphabetically by name, but you will have to copy-and-paste the URL that appears after you click on a name.
