Avery, who served as assistant director of the nursing service at Women’s Hospital and as chair of maternity nursing in the School of Nursing, was a pioneer in family-centered maternity nursing, which provides for mothers and newborns rooming together, fathers in labor and delivery rooms, and sibling visitations.
On her retirement, the Regents said: “One rarely finds such outstanding capability as both teacher and administrator as has been demonstrated by Prof. Avery. She is at once recognized nationally for her contributions to the practice of obstetric nursing and beloved by her students for her uncanny ability to inspire in them a zeal for learning and understanding.”

Ullman’s research area was classical analysis, with specific focus on approximation theory. His papers on the asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials with arbitrary measures drew international attention. He published 46 research papers and directed eight doctoral theses.
“Prof. Ullman was valued by his colleagues for his love of mathematics inquiry, his encyclopedic knowledge of classical analysis and his willingness to share his knowledge,” says mathematics Prof. Paul G. Federbush.
“His long-time colleagues remember ‘Joe’ as omnipresent in the Commons Room, a constant source of challenging mathematical problems; as possessing of a sense of humor; and not avoiding controversy on matters of principle. He was a colorful friend and will be sorely missed.”

A noted orthodontist, Moyers' research focused on the role of the neuromusculature in normal facial growth as well as in the clinical treatment of malocclusion. He also was the author of an orthodontic textbook, Handbook of Orthodontics, which, after 40 years and four editions, continues to be widely used throughout the world.
Through his pioneering efforts, the CHGD gained international prominence not only for interdisciplinary research in craniofacial biology but also in developmental biology, nutrition, public health, morphometrics, anthropology and pediatrics.
"We salute Bob Moyers not only for his professional contributions but also for his personal impact on each of our lives," said Lysle E. Johnston, chair of the Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry. "He was a good friend to us. He always encouraged his students and colleagues to seek greater heights, often providing the environment and resources to make their visions possible. Bob Moyers was a wonderful and talented friend. We will miss him greatly."
Moyers was the most highly decorated dental officer in the history of the U.S. Army, having parachuted behind enemy lines in World War II. He served as Chief Medical Liaison Officer of the Allied Military Mission to the Greek Resistance Movement, playing a critical role in the effort to liberate Greece from the Nazis. For his exploits, he was awarded the Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit and the Purple Heart, as well as the Order of the British Empire and the Order of the Phoenix from Greece.
Moyers was born in Sidney, Iowa, in 1919. After graduation from the College of Dentistry at the State University of Iowa, he served in World War II. After the war, he returned to the University of Iowa for an orthodontic specialty education and doctorate in physiology.
In 1948 he became chair of the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Toronto. In 1952, he became chair of the Department of Orthodontics at the U-M. In 1966, he founded the CHGD, an interdisciplinary research center, and served as director until 1980. He retired in 1990.
Moyers received the Albert H. Ketcham Award, the highest award given in the specialty of orthodontics, in 1988, and was elected to the Royal College of Surgeons in London in 1995.
Moyers is survived by his wife, Barbara Quick Moyers; two daughters, Mary Moyers of Arroyo Grande, Calif., and Martha Moyers Hambacher of Boulder, Colo.; a brother, two sisters and two grandchildren.
