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.

Professor David H. Lumsdaine, 64


Wenham, MA — The Gordon College community grieves the loss of Professor David Lumsdaine, who passed away February 27, from complications following a heart attack. As a member of the Political Science Department, Dr. Lumsdaine taught a variety of courses with specialization in international relations and foreign policy. His classes emphasized student participation and writing, and students often spoke with deep appreciation for this man who was a beloved professor and mentor to so many. Prior to joining the Gordon faculty in 2007, Dr Lumsdaine — who held degrees in political science, engineering and mathematics — taught at Wheaton College, Yale University, Seoul National University and the Korea Development Institute in Seoul, one of the most prominent "think tanks" and educational institutions in that country. He was also a consultant and lecturer at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, where he mentored many graduate students.

"David Lumsdaine was dearly beloved by his students and colleagues," says Ruth Melkonian-Hoover, associate professor of political science, and department chair. "He passionately loved God, others, and God's world, and this came through in everything he did. He had a brilliant mind and elected to invest himself first and foremost in remarkable ways in our students' lives. We have been richly blessed by him, and his passing represents a tremendous loss to our department and to all of us in the Gordon community."

A hallmark of Dr.Lumsdaine's teaching style was his insistence that students think for themselves and develop their own ideas. Students around the world have spoken of him as a major influence and inspiration in their thinking and in their lives.

Dr. Lumsdaine's first book was Moral Vision in International Politics, (Princeton University Press, 1993). His book Evangelical Christianity and Democracy in Asia (Oxford, 2009) continued this earlier work on how beliefs and values shape politics. He had been working on a sabbatical project examining the role of ideas in shaping the international political system, and the effect of domestic political values and practice on international politics. Dr. Lumsdaine was an active and beloved member of Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church in Danvers, Massachusetts. "We will miss him, many of us deeply so," says the Rev. Timothy Clayton, rector of Christ the Redeemer. "He was a dear and enthusiastic brother and a leader in our family of faith, a member of the vestry."

Those who knew David Lumsdaine personally were impressed by his amazing memory, his exhaustive knowledge of the Bible, his wide-ranging intellectual interests in music, art, and literature, his lively wit and sense of humor, and his great compassion for the sufferings of others.

He is preceded in death by his parents and is survived by two brothers, John and Peter, sister-in-law the Rev. Margaret Drum Lumsdaine, nieces Lucy Elanor Lumsdaine, and Sophia Lumsdaine, and nephew Brendan Lumsdaine.

ARRANGEMENTS: The funeral will take place Saturday, March 2, at 11 a.m., at Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church, 188 Elliott St, Danvers, MA. Interment will take place at a later service at Lake View Cemetery in Seattle, WA.

Memorial donations may be made to either Gordon College or Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church. Simply include "David Lumsdaine" on the memo line of a check made to either institution.
