James S. Evans *66

James Evans, professor emeritus of computer science and chemistry at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis., died April 23, 2018, after a fall. He was 77.

Evans graduated from Bates College in 1962. He earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton in 1966. He taught chemistry and computer science at Lawrence from 1966 until he retired in 2011. He also held the titles of director of computer services and director of information technology planning.

In recent years he divided his time between Wisconsin and Maine with vacations in England each year, planning to make his family farm in Maine his year-round home.

Evans was dedicated to his family and studying the genealogy of his paternal and maternal sides. He was also restoring the family farmhouse, barn, and grounds, work that his sister will continue.

He is survived by his sister, Dorothy Guillen, and her husband; their two sons; and their four grandchildren. He is also survived by an aunt and many cousins.

Graduate memorials are prepared by the APGA.
