    • PROF. ARTHUR A. LUMSDAINE DIES


      Private services were held last week for Arthur A. Lumsdaine, former chairman of the University of Washington psychology department who died May 1 following a long illness.

      Mr. Lumsdaine, professor emeritus of psychology and education at the university, was 75.

      He was credited by Irwin Sarason, chairman of the psychology department, with a key role in building the department.

      ''He came in at a time of rapid growth and one of his major achievements was building the corps of what is now a truly distinguished psychology department,'' Sarason said. ''More than any other individual, he shaped the planning of Guthrie Hall (current psychology building) and saw the project to its completion.''

      Mr. Lumsdaine was chairman of the department from 1965 to 1971 and remained on the University of Washington faculty until retiring in 1981.

      He was a founding board member for Psychologists for Social Responsibility and focused his efforts on the global problems of poverty and nuclear war.

      Seattle born, he graduated from Roosevelt High School and received a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Washington and a doctorate from Stanford University.

      Mr. Lumsdaine taught psychology at Princeton University, was a research scientist for the War Department where he studied attitudes of U.S. servicemen, and was a research scientist at Yale University.

      He also was a lab director with the U.S. Air Force, an executive scientist at the American Institute for Research, and professor of education at UCLA for five years before returning to the UW.

      Survivors include his wife, Marion Lumsdaine of Seattle; three sons, David of New Haven, Conn., John of Oakland, Calif., and Peter of Santa Cruz, Calif.; a brother, Clifford Lumsdaine of Bellflower, Calif.; and a grandchild.
