This weekend we received the sad news that Arthur Jaffe died at the age of 93. Arthur spent the last 15 years of his life at FAU, serving as curator of the Jaffe Center for Book Arts in the Wimberly Library and holding the Ario S. Hyams endowed professorship. In 2011, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by FAU and last year I was privileged to present him the President’s Distinguished Service Medallion. But no title could ever encompass all that Arthur meant to FAU. To us he was a living legend who personified the highest and best values of his generation – “the greatest generation.” Please visit: fau.edu/president/blog/blog-entry-012615.php to help honor this wonderful man who will always be remembered and greatly missed.
