Memorial Resolutions (CMR)

The University of California has a long-standing tradition of honoring members of the academic community with commemorative resolutions prepared by their colleagues.  In earlier years, tributes to distinguished faculty were included in the University of California Chronicle, which was established in 1898.  Subsequently, memorials were published in the Academic Senate’s In Memoriam, which now continues online.  The committee arranges for the preparation of the memorials by faculty who are familiar with the individual’s work.  In addition to recognizing the contributions of scholars, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, librarians, administrators, and others, the memorials serve to record the growth of academic fields at Berkeley.  They also shed light on the campus as a living institution of learning and teaching.
