Richard Olson ’62
A Chinese translation of the book Science and Religion, 1450–1900: From Copernicus to Darwin written by Richard G. Olson ’62 has been published by Shandong Peoples Press. The book examines the con- tributions of scientists like Galileo, Newton and Darwin and their influ- ence on religion, specifically Christi- anity. Olson is the Willard W. Keith Fellow in Humanities and the 2012
Hixon-Riggs Professor of Science, Technology and Society. His research focuses on the interrelationships between the natural sciences and other cultural domains, including moral philoso- phy, the social sciences, political ideology and religion. Olson, who is retiring this fall, will be featured in the spring issue of the HMC Bulletin.
In Memoriam Dotty Campbell, Wife of First HMC Professor
The wife of chemistry professor emeritus J. Arthur Campbell, Dorothy (Dotty) Emily Carnell Campbell died at her home at Mt. San Antonio Gardens on Sept. 19. A Claremont resident for more than half a century, she was just short of 97 years of age. Dotty met and married Art
Campbell in 1938 at Oberlin College in Ohio where both were
attending school. After graduation, they moved to Purdue University where Art earned his master’s degree, then to Berkeley where Art earned his Ph.D. in chemistry and stayed on to work on the Manhat- tan Project. After the war, Art became a chemistry professor at Oberlin (until
1956) and Dotty was a member of the Oberlin School Board and president of Church Women. Through Church World Service, Dotty helped bring two “displaced families” from Russia and Lithuania to the United States. From Oberlin, they moved to Claremont where Art was hired as
the first professor of a new college, Harvey Mudd. Dotty became very involved in college activities, including hosting many students. Her other interests and activities included many years volunteering for Planned Parenthood, one of the first volunteers of Hospice, presi- dent of the Faculty Women of The Claremont Colleges, a member of Scripps’ Fine Arts, The Rembrandt Club and the League of Women Voters. The couple traveled extensively, including trips to Cambridge,
England, India and Kenya. Dotty taught English in Asia, including Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand. The death of Art in 1989 brought a move to Mt. San Antonio
Gardens, where Dotty served on the board of directors and many committees. Dotty is survived by her daughters, Elae Ellinwood and Christine Campbell, six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
