CLARK EUGENE BRICKER, distinguished chemist, beloved professor, textbook coauthor, and recipient of many high honors, died of cancer June 14, 1994, three days before his 76th birthday. "Brick" earned his bachelor's at Gettysburg College in 1939 and a master's at Haverford College in 1940, before coming to Princeton for graduate work.

Following college, Brick worked on the Manhattan Project with the late Professor M. H. Furman. After two years in industry, he moved to academe as an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Univ. In 1948, he returned to Princeton, where he was a professor of analytical chemistry until 1961. Then, he moved to the College of Wooster as dean of the college and professor of chemistry. In 1963, he moved to the Univ. of Kansas as director and coordinator of freshman chemistry, remaining until retirement in 1983.

On sabbatical leaves, Brick served the U.S.I.A. as science demonstrator in the Soviet Union, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and several African countries. After retirement, he continued to teach, as a visiting professor at Davidson College, Clemson Univ., and Trinity Univ. in Texas.

He is survived by his bride of 52 years, a daughter, two sons, and an uncounted host of loving colleagues, former students, and friends. To his family we extend heartfelt sympathy.
