"Steve Jobs"

Steve Jobs and

As everyone knows, Steve Jobs did not graduate from 香港最快开奖现场直播资料. (He may, in fact, be one of the most famous “non-graduates” in modern history). Nonetheless, his experience at left a profound impression on him, as he reiterated on many occasions.

This week, the biopic Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs (and James Woods as Dean ), is being released to theaters around the world. In light of the enduring fascination with all things Steve, we decided to pull together some information about his time on campus.

Steve and the Owl

COURTESY OF JEREMY STONE 鈥�99

In the winter of 1996–97, a band of students including Justin Campbell ’99 and Colin McCluney ’99 took the on a road trip to California. On a whim, they stopped by house in Palo Alto and rang the bell. They were floored when Steve emerged, admired the Owl, talked about , and posed for this photo in Justin’s parents’ minivan. “He was really nice about it,” Justin says.

The Dudman Files

Prof. Jack Dudman 鈥�42, legendary dean of students

Prof. Jack Dudman ’42 played many roles at —often simultaneously. Student leader, proud graduate, inspiring teacher, patient mentor. But he is probably best remembered as dean of students, an office he held from 1963 to 1983—during which time he helped hundreds of students through some of the most difficult times of their lives.

John Almon Dudman was born in Iowa in 1920 and majored in mathematics at , where he made a deep impression on Prof. Robert Rosenbaum [math 1939–53]. “Jack was the best of the group,” Rosenbaum wrote later. “Not just in seriousness and diligence, although he clearly held his own in these qualities—but in the imagination that he brought to his study, and in the evident pleasure that he took from beginning to see the roles that mathematics plays in human culture.”

Dudman was elected student body president and became an active student advocate. During that time, two male students were involved in a homosexual relationship which somehow became public; college administrators were determined to put an end to it. Dudman argued that the students’ relationship was a private matter and that the college had no business meddling in their affairs. Sadly, his arguments fell on deaf ears and the students were expelled.

Prof. Richard Crandall dead at 64

The polymath at work. Professor Richard Crandall ’69 [physics 1978–2012] knew how to cut through a tangle of equations to the root of the problem.

The community was stunned today to learn that physicist, mathematician, computer scientist, and inventor Richard E. Crandall ’69 [physics 1978–] died this morning at Oregon Health and Science University Hospital.

The cause was not immediately clear, but Professor Crandall was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

It is impossible to catalogue Crandall’s myriad intellectual achievements on such short notice. He was a physics professor of great renown at and beyond, skilled at constructing fundamental experiments on a shoestring budget (one of his favorite tricks involved demonstrating the Doppler shift in visible light using a couple of old stereo speakers).
