Comments on: Carl Benton Straub, professor and dean with a pivotal effect on ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½’ academic character, dies at age 83 /news/2019/11/22/carl-benton-straub-dies-at-age-83/ Wed, 01 Jul 2020 17:11:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Jon /news/2019/11/22/carl-benton-straub-dies-at-age-83/#comment-263288 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:39:00 +0000 /news/?p=129037#comment-263288 This* was the occasion where I met Prof. Straub and told him I was impressed with his talk. Subsequently, with his approval, I sent him my essay on eco-socialism, which he appreciated and invited me to visit. I did in fact meet him at his home Nov. 4th (delayed by a recent fall) for a three hour lively discussion, and was looking forward to more. I am shocked to learn of his passing. What a man!

* Fittingly, his last public talk was to his former students, at the
college’s annual Reunion in June 2019, where he spoke to the Class of
1969 on the intersection of climate change, public discourse, culture,
and aesthetics.
