I. Harvey Roazen Ph.D. In Memoriam On Wednesday, 1 March 1978, Dr. Harvey Roazen died. He was 49 years old. It ' s always a tragedy when death claims a man who is still young, who was in the midst of what has been termed, the generative years . In the case of Harvey Roazen, the tragedy was even more profound, because to have known Harvey was to learn from him. He taught us all so much both as a teacher and as a person. And the tragedy of his death we recog- nize now, is our tragedy for he could have taught us so much more. All who knew him recognized that Harvey Roazen was intel- lectually brilliant. He possessed an encyclopedic-like knowl- edge, not only of psychology but of the liberal arts in general. A brilliant mind and a wealth of knowledge are major assets, espe- cially for the college professor. There were some, especially students, however, who felt that these qualities of mind were not Harvey ' s most salient or most important characteristics. Rather, these people focused and related to Harvey ' s other traits — to his remarkable capacity for caring and to his exquisite sensitivity to the discomfort of others. This was a man who loved and who gave of himself unsparingly. And it is for this reason especially, that so many in turn, loved Harvey back. What made Harvey remarkable in the eyes of both students and faculty was that quite apparently, he did not expend energy to be loveable. Indeed, Harvey did not want to rule or control, but to serve. He never demeaned. He enhanced. If we stop to think about it we realize that in his relations with us Harvey Roazen was not so much a taker as he was a giver. He was truly unique because he was one of those successful human beings who found far more reward in giving than in taking. He was a teacher, albeit somewhat disorganized. To many however, he was the personnification of the dedicated teacher for, he responded, and positively, to each and every student who questioned, requested or who needed him. His function he believed to be, to serve the student. His goal was the student taught. Thus, while he seldom had time to organize himself, he always had time for the student. If Harvey was uncommitted to pedagogical efficiency (and he was) it was precisely because he was totally committed to the idea that his function was to serve the student. SERVICE, was Harvey ' s raison d ' etre. It was the final product of his love, of his remarkable capacity to give. Harvey the teacher, was complemented by Harvey, the cru- sader. As was so true about so much else about him however, Harvey was a very different kind of crusader. Unlike others, Harvey ' s crusades were not so much concerned with the venti- lation of personal hostility as they were genuinely concerned with the rectification of injustice. Harvey possessed another quality, one about which few of us knew — unflagging courage. It was only after his death that some of us learned that Harvey knew for at least two years that his time with all of us was indeed short. He continued to work. He continued his functions and if anything, took on more. With the exception of his wife none among us knew about his physical agonies and pains or of the concommitant emotional anguish which such a feeling human being unquestionably experienced. Several months have elapsed since Harvey passed away. We find that we miss him — and alot. Never more, shall we chuckle seeing him shuffle down the corridor ' a la Charlie Chaplin. Never more shall we be startled by his wardrobe, always of vintage passe ' and often of colors bombastic. Never more, shall we be entertained listening to him deliver one of his impromptu expositions on everything from astrophysics to how Sicilians make wine. And we will go on missing him, all of us because we all recog- nize at some level that he would have continued to enhance and to enrich our lives. Still, in the years, too few, that we knew him, he taught us so very much, this Professor Roazen. He taught us how to love, how to serve, how to give, how to amend wrong and even, how to die.
