David Yount, UH physics and astronomy professor, dies
David Yount, a University of Hawaii physics and astronomy professor, former UH vice president and author of the best-selling book "Who Runs the University? The Politics of Higher Education in Hawaii, 1985-1992," died Thursday after suffering an apparent heart attack while playing tennis.
Yount, 64, was playing a second set at the Hawaii Tennis Academy in Aina Haina when he collapsed as he retrieved a ball, said his wife, Christel. In the past few years, the United States Tennis Association had ranked Yount one of the top Hawaii tennis players in the 60-and-over age group.
"He lived every day as if it were his last," Christel said. "I played tennis with him for 25 years and he played every set as best as he could. He lived his whole life like that. It’s incredible how complete his life is."
UH President Kenneth Mortimer yesterday called Yount "a highly respected researcher and teacher and a valued administrator who always worked in the best interests of the University of Hawaii."
Former UH President Albert Simone appointed Yount vice president for research and graduate education in January 1986. Ten years later, Yount was back teaching when he published "Who Runs the University?," a behind-the-scenes account of the personalities and egos that helped shape UH during parts of the Simone and Mortimer eras.
"I am aware," Yount wrote in the book’s preface, "that some parts of this work may be controversial and that my willingness to expose the politics of higher education to public scrutiny is already sufficient to exclude me from further participation in academic administrations, old-boy networks, and other well-meaning conspiracies in Hawaii."
Yount was born in Prescott, Ariz. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Caltech in 1957 and master’s and doctor’s degrees from Stanford University.
He began his teacher career in 1962 as an assistant professor at Princeton University. He joined UH in 1969 as an associate professor of physics. In the decades that followed, Yount became the department chairman, acting assistant vice president for academic affairs and vice president for research and graduate education. He authored or co-authored more than 150 research papers in the fields of high-energy physics, diving medicine, acoustics and surface chemistry.
Yount is survived by his wife, Christel, and children, Christine, Gregory, Sonja and Steffen.
A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. next Saturday at Calvary by the Sea in Aina Haina.
