In Memory: Professor Emeritus Hugh "Gunner" Gunnison'52
President Daniel F. Sullivan, in a notice to the St. Lawrence community, said that the passing early Sunday morning, October 7, of Professor Emeritus of Education Hugh “Gunner” Gunnison leaves a void in our community that no one will ever fill in quite such a special way. He and Mrs. Sullivan, he said, deeply mourn the loss of a great Laurentian, one who took great and justifiable pride in his family heritage and personal contributions to the University. A 1952 graduate of St. Lawrence University, with a doctorate from Syracuse University, Gunner was named to emeritus status in 1992, after serving on the faculty of St. Lawrence for 27 years. He represented the fourth generation of the Gunnison family to attend St. Lawrence; his great-uncle, Almon Gunnison, Theological School Class of 1868, was president of the University from 1899 to 1914, and our Gunnison Memorial Chapel, built in 1926, bears his family’s name.
