In Memoriam
Former UH President Harlan Cleveland passed away May 30, in Sterling, Virginia, at the age of 90.
During his tenure, the William S. Richardson School of Law was established at Manoa campus, and the John A. Burns School of Medicine was expanded from two to four years. Cleveland also appointed the first Manoa chancellor, and higher education activities on the Big Island were pulled together under a chancellor at Hilo.
“Harlan Cleveland, a Rhodes Scholar, renowned educator and global diplomat, served this university and the State of Hawai'i with distinction as our president from 1969-1974, and provided leadership worldwide for the benefit of humankind right until the end of his long and productive life,” says President David McClain.
“I had the good fortune to meet with Dr. Cleveland several times in recent years, and I still use advice he shared with me in my yearly charge to our graduates: ‘Don't over-prepare; just as you're waiting for one opportunity to come in via the front door, an even better one comes in through the side window,’” says McClain. “Harlan Cleveland was a visionary, and we all mourn his passing even as we are grateful for all that he accomplished."
Memorial services will be held on Sun., June 15, 11 a.m. in Manoa's School of Architecture Auditorium. The service is open to the public and will be followed by a luncheon in the architecture courtyard area. For more information, contact Lisa Stewart, (808) 529-0888.
