Gerdine; helped found music department By Andy Clendennen Leigh Gerdine, who helped develop the University's Department of Music in Arts & Sciences in 1950, died Friday, March 1, 2002, after an apparent heart attack while exercising. He was 84.
"Leigh was very important to Washington University during his time here," said William H. Danforth, chancellor emeritus and vice chairman of the Board of Trustees. "He had a wonderful wide-ranging intellect that was respected by everyone. It was said that if an intelligent stranger were to meet Leigh at a cocktail party and start talking with Leigh about any academic subject, that stranger would assume that that was Leigh's field." While serving as chair of Washington University's music department, Gerdine became involved with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and served as manager in the mid-1960s. In 1970, he was named president of Webster University (then Webster College), and is widely credited with resurrecting the school and giving it national prominence. "He supplied imaginative ideas as part of the University-wide planning that led the way to Tom Eliot's chancellorship and also to mine," Danforth said. Memorial contributions can be made to Webster University, the Reper-tory Theatre of St. Louis, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the Black Repertory Theatre or The Sheldon. Gerdine is survived by his wife, Alice Meyer Gerdine;
a brother, Louis Gerdine of Redlands, Calif.; and a sister,
Iris Rostowski of Long View, Wash. Judith Doneson, 54 Judith E. Doneson, Ph.D., died of cancer Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2002, at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. She was 54. Since 1997, Doneson lectured students as part of The Program for the Humanities in Medicine.
