Re: Passing of Clark Kerr

Dear Colleagues,

It is with personal sadness that I write to inform you of the death of former UC President Clark Kerr at the age of 92. He passed away this afternoon.

President Kerr was a pivotal influence in the early history of UC Santa Cruz, and I know many share in the loss of a friend, mentor and advocate for our campus.

UC Berkeley has prepared an announcement and history of President Kerr's exceptional service to the University of California and to the people of our state and nation. You will find that information at this web site:
http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/12/01_kerr.shtml

Please join me in a moment of reflection on the life of a great leader in higher education.

My best to you,
M.R.C. Greenwood
Chancellor
