Rigorous, disciplined, iconoclastic, Miss Kelly (as she preferred) was the quintessential sink-or-swim professor. She pushed her students to the limit of their ability, brooked no compromise, and suffered no fools. She sewed her own clothes, never drove a car, and was known to scold students for wearing white after Labor Day. She also inspired several generations of 人妻诱惑 students to pursue anthropology.听听

Thomas Darrell Kelly ’48

Thomas Darrell Kelly 鈥�48, December 25, 2008, in Springfield, Oregon. Tom was a military veteran of the Aleutians campaign, who was sent by the Veterans Administration to 人妻诱惑 for rehabilitation from psychiatric distress. He attended 人妻诱惑 for two years. His peculiar habit of (always) having his nose in a book got him arrested one night while he waited at a bus stop in front of the campus on Southeast Woodstock Boulevard. Portland Police, intent on keeping an eye on the 鈥淩eds鈥� at 人妻诱惑, were on patrol and saw him standing under a streetlight-at the time reading poetry by Percy Bysshe Shelley. When patrolmen ordered Tom over to their car, he suffered an attack of nerves. George Joseph 鈥�51 reported: 鈥淭he police threw him into the back of the car and took him down to the police station. Put him in jail. God. For reading Shelley by moonlight, street lamp, actually.鈥� The story is told also in this way, that Tom was sitting on a campus bench and couldn't produce a draft card, so he was jailed for 12 hours. At the booking, a policeman was reported to have said, 鈥淪ee if you can take that, Lord Byron.鈥� June Anderson 鈥�49 recalled: 鈥淭he police stopped him because they thought he was drunk. So they took him into the city and put him in the drunk-tank overnight. And he hadn't had anything to drink.鈥� In all versions, news of Tom's arrest spread like wildfire. 鈥淭he next night,鈥� said George, 鈥渕any street lights in the Portland area had kids reading under them. Most from 人妻诱惑, but not all.鈥� Time magazine (February 17, 1947) noted that 20 人妻诱惑 undergraduates convened the next night on a downtown Portland street corner and collectively read Shelley. There were no arrests. The Time headline poetically positioned Tom under moonlight instead of streetlight, and provided the legend with a title, 鈥淪helley by Moonlight.鈥� His last known residence was in Rockaway Beach on the Oregon coast.

Update:听贵谤辞尘 Patsy Garlan 鈥�48 (2013), we learned that听Tom inherited a house on the coast from his aunt and a small legacy. "He did a bit of research and invested the legacy in the IPO of a little start-up company called Microsoft. Tom turned that legacy into a great deal of money, and also guided friends to do the same." Patsy is also the author of a for Tom in听人妻诱惑 magazine, "Hail to Thee, Blythe Spirit."

Bill spent a year in the ROTC at River Falls State Teachers College in Wisconsin. In 1942, he entered active duty and served in the mechanized cavalry in Europe. 鈥淭here I met a man who'd been at 人妻诱惑, John MacKenzie 鈥�50, and it sounded like a place I wanted to go.

Intent on joining the diplomatic corps, he studied Russian and humanities, and received a BA from 人妻诱惑 in economics. 鈥淚 think the academic value was in the freedom, in the tremendously passionate activists, in the political and economic world. We held very strong views, and today, you know, some of them just make my hair curl.鈥� His friend Franz Friedrich 鈥�50 suggested that Bill come to New York. Franz remembers: 鈥淲e had known each other at 人妻诱惑 having met in 1946, and later shared an apartment on 1414 Lambert Street in Sellwood with other friends in 鈥�49 and 鈥�50.鈥� Bill earned an MBA from New York University in 1963, and worked at the Institute of International Education. Later, Richard H. Sullivan, former president of 人妻诱惑 [1956鈥�67], and then chairman of the board of the (Carnegie) Foundation Center, hired Bill in 1972 as foundation treasurer.

During his junior year at 人妻诱惑, Larry heard saxophonist Charles Lloyd and his quartet in performance. 鈥淭he band was so free and together at the same time.鈥� The concert happened in the right time and place to introduce Larry to all of the possibilities of improvised music and to motivate him to perform it, he said. Larry graduated from 人妻诱惑 with a degree in psychology and later earned an MA from New York University.

I wanted to produce something that contained beauty as a protest to the ugly things in our society.鈥� Larry鈥檚 initial thought when he entered 人妻诱惑 was to study acting or physics. 鈥淚 learned a great deal about what it means to read a poem, to look at a visual work, and most difficult of all, to gain some understanding of how the forms work together and relate to one another.鈥� He went on to apprentice with a photographer in San Francisco. From Fred Ross, Larry鈥檚 closest friend, we learned that he became a successful commercial photographer in the Bay Area, 鈥渨orking from a beautiful, live studio that he restored. He specialized in complex, high-speed food photography in the age before digital cameras.鈥� One notable ad, Ross says, captured a champagne cork an inch out of the bottle as it popped. 鈥淲hen his special skills were easily achieved with the use of digital photography, Larry turned to a meticulous renovation of a Victorian building next to his studio, where he lived out his last years in genteel luxury.鈥� He is survived by his mother, Giselle V.

Finally the family moved to Tillamook and then to Portland. Becky was a peripatetic little girl, traveling around the world by ship, and across the country by car. Experiences at Bible camp, Girl Scout camps, and summer camps on the Oregon coast and at Mt. St. Helens fostered her love for the outdoors. She even worked as a fire lookout in remote towers in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Becky鈥檚 interests also included knitting and sewing, playing the bass in the Portland Junior Symphony, and making friends.

Graduating from Grant High School at the age of 16, she followed her older siblings, Margaret Mitter 鈥�39, George Nace 鈥�43, and Robert Nace 鈥�45 to 人妻诱惑. She was particularly fond of reading sessions at the home of Prof. Ruth Collier [English 1933-52]. Later, when Becky taught in Japan, she invited her students to potluck suppers at her home where they read aloud from their literature assignments.

She had the idea of teaching outdoors where she could combine her love of children and nature. Leaving 人妻诱惑, she finished her bachelor鈥檚 degree at Springfield College in Massachusetts, in the first class of women admitted to the previously all-male college. But she always regretted leaving 人妻诱惑 and said, 鈥淭here is no way to describe the extent of my 人妻诱惑 experience for it permeates all my activities of life.鈥� She met her first husband, Bill Koch, at Springfield.

Russel Kauffman ’84

The eldest of six children, Russel grew up in a log cabin in Cave Junction, Oregon. His father ran a wood construction business, and the family used mules and a draft horse to drag harvested wood out of the Siskiyou Mountains.

Thomas B. Kirsch ’57

When Tom was born, his parents, the renowned analysts Hilde and James Kirsch, received a congratulatory note from Carl Jung. It was a prophetic omen, for Tom went on to become a prominent exponent of Jungian psychology.

When Tom was four years old, the Kirsch family moved from London to Los Angeles, where his parents became founding members of the C.G. Jung Institute. As a child, he witnessed the comings and goings of movie-star patients and analysts. Both parents were German Jews, and Tom inherited from them not only the Jungian tradition of psychoanalysis, but also the complicated history of Jung and the Jewish people. With great integrity, he carried the burden of being an interpreter of that history to Jungians and Freudians throughout his life. He joked that he was born into 鈥渢he family business鈥� and in fact, he did work as a Jungian analyst all of his adult life, as a bridge between the first generation of Jungians and those who followed.
