Probably AP-worthy, so for Shaun's Deadpool.

Died yesterday.

 

And my guess she might have made the Mail's AP wires has proven to be the case.

Died yesterday.

And two months later --

David Marker was president of Cornell College from 1984 to 1994. He died May 1 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the age of 78.

 

And in a rare moment of clarity, Sir Creep doesn't have to be hit in the face with a wet mop to understand the implications of THIS:

"He is survived by two children, two grandchildren, his former wife Cynthia Thomas a brother, and a close friend, Richard Lewis of Wales, United Kingdom."

Two people named Graves inside of a week! (The child eaten by an alligator in Orlando).

 

Dr. Thomas A. Graves, who died Friday at 91, was president from 1971 to 1985, taking William & Mary from “a cozy college” to a public ivy with an international reputation, said Sam Sadler, former vice president for student affairs who counted him as a lifelong friend and mentor.

And the day before:

Father Mathias Doyle, president of St. Bonaventure University from 1975 to 1990, died Thursday in the Siena College Friary in Loudonville after a battle with cancer. He was 82. He was the schools third longest-serving president and Doyle Hall on campus is named after him.

I had him in my Excel file ever since someone mentioned him here a couple of years ago (around nr. 20 out of now 1500). Never thought he'd get a Daily Mail obit though.

[Death Impends 7,977]

Does this mean any president (past or present) of an Ivy League university is an assured AP cut-n-paste?

[gcreptile 10,972]

Hmm, not every Ivy League university, I guess, but occasionally someone from the MIT, or Stanford instead.

First and likely last time I will have ever heard of Ripon College (founded 1851). 

It'll certainly be the last time for this man.  Dr. Bernard Schroder Adams, 88, the ninth president of Ripon College from 1966-85, died Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017.

So they only had 8 Presidents from 1851-1966???  Hell, HE lasted 19 years on the job. Interesting.

Nice to see I'm the only one who has posted anything here since Oct 21, 2016 SMFH.
 

Dennis F. Kinlaw of Wilmore (KY), who served two tenures as president of Asbury College, now Asbury University, died Monday. He was 94.

During his two presidential tenures (1968-81 and 1986-91), Kinlaw charted the course for a period of spiritual revival, enriched academics and unprecedented enrollment growth at the Christian, multi-denominational, liberal arts school in Wilmore.

Al Karnig, president emeritus at Cal State San Bernardino, died Thursday afternoon, according to the university.  He was at his home in San Bernardino at his time of death, according to university spokesman Joe Gutierrez.  Karnig, who was born in March 1942, became the third president of CSUSB in 1997 and retired in 2012.

"The University of Tulsa has learned that former TU President Steadman Upham died Sunday, July 30, from complications following a recent surgery. He is survived by his wife, Peggy; their children, Nathan and Erin; and their grandchildren, Orion and Aadrock.  (Nice names...)

 

Upham joined TU in 2004 and served as president until 2012, and then returned later that year to resume the role at the request of the Board of Trustees. He retired in 2016 and planned to return to TU as a faculty member in the Department of Anthropology.

Instead he returns as an EXHIBIT in the Department of Anthropology.

It's been suggested that I post these people as if they're somehow famous in the States.  Nothing could be further from the truth, I've never heard of any of them.  No one has.  But you created a thread and I'm populating it, period.  That for 80% of my posts anywhere, including American politicians.  So don't get all self-righteous as if you know the names of all the MPs in the UK past or present.  Hell, I'm in the Bi-Election pool so probably know more MP names than you.  But I don't know any from 1980.  And I don't know a single university president.

Ronald E. Carrier, who served as James Madison University's president for 27 years, died Monday. At the age of 85, Carrier has left behind evidence of a transformation of the university from a small college to a major regional university during his tenure.  Carrier became president in 1971 at 38 years old, when the 4,000-student school was still Madison College and predominantly populated by women training to be teachers. When Carrier became president, he was the youngest Virginia college president at the time. Before arriving in Harrisonburg, he was vice president of academic affairs at Memphis State University. When he arrived on campus, it was only half a decade after the college started allowing male students to live on campus.

Well, William P. Gerberding just died... (http://www.washington.edu/news/2014/12/29/william-p-gerberding-27th-president-of-the-university-of-washington-dies-at-85/)

 

Obit isn't notable enough to make UK though. Are there any university presidents who are notable enough?

Another in the long list of unknown university presidents I am not supposed to post in a thread entitled 'university presidents'....
 

Haskell Moorman Monroe, Jr., former president of The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), died Monday, Nov. 13, in College Station, Texas. He was 86 years old.

Dr. Monroe served as UTEP’s president from 1980 to 1987. His great love of books and his commitment to providing students with access to a world-class selection of volumes, journals and publications resulted in his greatest legacy: the $28 million University Library, which opened in 1984.

As a librarian, I appreciate that.

Another in the long line of university presidents that we are not supposed to post in the university presidents thread.

The Rev. Thomas Chambers, who led a successful turnaround effort at what is now the University of Holy Cross in Algiers starting in the late 1980s, died Tuesday. He was 83.

He arrived in New Orleans to lead Holy Cross, then known as Our Lady of Holy Cross College, in 1987, finding the school under-enrolled and in debt.

Bringing a considerable fundraising prowess and an open-door policy toward students, he more than doubled enrollment and improved the school’s financial picture, leaving it with a considerable endowment by the time he stepped down in 2003.

Longtime Morris College president Dr. Luns Richardson died Saturday in his hometown of Hartsville (SC).  He was 89 years-old.

OH the eye-rolls -- 'look Sir Creep posting another useless Univ Pres -- I better go read it" LOL
Sister Jane Scully, a former president of Carlow University who was an advocate for women’s education, died Saturday.  She was 100. 

Sister Jane was president of Carlow from 1966 to 1982. Before she became president, she served as an instructor, librarian and vice president at the university.  President Richard Nixon appointed Sister Jane to the National Commission for the Financing of Postsecondary Education.  Also, in 1971, she was the first woman to serve on the board of directors for the Port Authority of Allegheny County.
