Faculty

Phyllis Clark, a longtime member of the piano faculty at the Eastman School of Music, died on January 10.

Clark joined the Eastman faculty in 1959 as a lecturer in piano and piano pedagogy and coordinator of primary and secondary piano. She also was chair of the piano class department until she retired in 1990.

The author of Piano for Adults, Vol. I and II, Clark traveled the world as a consultant and as an adjudicator for piano competitions.

Lowell Lapham, a professor of neuropathology at the Medical Center, died on February 8. He was 83.

Educated at Harvard University, Lapham joined the Medical Center in 1964 as head of neuropathology. During his career at the Medical Center, he trained many of the top figures in the field and was named the Henry C. and Bertha H. Buswell Distinguished Service Fellow and received the Award for Meritorious Contributions to Neuropathology by the American Association of Neuropathologists.

He retired from the University in 1992 but continued to be active academically, working within the last year with colleagues in Rochester on a study of possible effects of low levels of mercury on the brain.
