TRUSTEES

Mercer Brugler '25, a life trustee and chairman of the Board of Trustees, died May 22, 1999. He was 94.

A former captain of the basketball team and a drop-kicker on the football team, Brugler went on to become president and chairman of Pfaudler Company. In 1965, Pfaudler merged with Ritter Corporation, and the new company was later bought by Sybron Corporation. Brugler retired as a Sybron board member in 1974.

Active in University and alumni affairs, Brugler also was a dedicated fund-raiser for the University.

The Mercer Brugler Distinguished Teaching Professorship, endowed through gifts from Sybron and from Brugler and his wife, Bernice Whitham Brugler '25, is named in his honor. Bernice Brugler died in 1998.

FACULTY

Michael Farris '89E (DMA), associate professor of organ at the Eastman School, died March 27, 1999. He was 41.

Farris joined the Eastman faculty in 1994 and served as co-chair of the keyboard department. He also earned a performer's certificate and an artist's diploma from Eastman.

Julian Keilson, professor emeritus of business administration at the Simon School and of statistics at the College, died on March 8, 1999. He was 74.

He joined the business school at the University in 1966 and taught courses in applied probability for more than 30 years. Keilson's research, which included the areas of probability theory, queuing theory, stochastic processes, telecommunications and performance analysis for computer, was internationally recognized.

Eileen Malone '28E, professor emerita who had taught harp for 59 years at the Eastman School, died June 1, 1999. She was 92.

Malone, who also was principal harpist for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for 43 years, was celebrated in the harp world for her performances and for her commitment to education. She frequently traveled abroad to judge international harp competitions and was active in both the International and American Harp Societies.

After earning her degree and performer's certificate, she joined Eastman's faculty in 1930. Malone retired in 1989.

David Smith '58M (MD), '92 (HNR), former chief of pediatrics, who co-invented a vaccine that has almost eradicated childhood bacterial meningitis in America, Australia, and several European countries, died February 23, 1999. He was 67.

Smith and co-inventor Porter Anderson worked on the vaccine while both were at the University. Smith spun off a local company, Praxis Biologics, to continue work on the vaccine.

For their work on the vaccine, the pair was awarded the Lasker Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in the country, in 1996. Smith also received the Pasteur Award from the World Health Organization.

Using proceeds from the vaccine's development, Smith founded the David H. Smith Foundation to fund conservation and scientific research.

Smith chaired pediatrics at Rochester from 1976 to 1983.
