Aaron Lemonick
Aaron Lemonick, 80, of Princeton, died Thursday, June 19. He was a Princeton University physicist, teacher, and longtime University administrator who played a pivotal role in building Princeton's faculty. After serving in the Air Force during World War II, he attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate before coming to Princeton for graduate work in physics. He received a Ph.D. in 1954, then taught at Haverford College, where he became chair of the college's physics department in 1957. A specialist in nuclear and elementary particle physics, he also worked as a research collaborator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He joined the Princeton faculty as an associate professor of physics in 1961. From 1969 to 1973 he served as dean of the Graduate School, then as dean of the faculty from 1973 to 1989. He worked until shortly before his death on preparations for this summer's Quest program, a series of workshops for elementary and middle school science teachers in which he planned to lead a unit on astronomy. "For five decades, Aaron Lemonick was one of the most beloved members of the Princeton family, as a graduate student, teacher, physicist and dean," said Princeton University president Shirley M. Tilghman. "He was one of our most gifted teachers of students, of alumni, of teachers and others, and he played a central role in shaping the Princeton of the late 20th and early 21st century. He embodied the principles and values to which we aspire as a University, and was a warm and genuine friend to many Princetonians. We will miss him greatly." In the early 1960s, Prof. Lemonick worked on the planning and construction of the Princeton-Penn Accelerator, a particle accelerator that yielded several important discoveries in physics. In his two deans posts, he was "a tireless leader," said William Bowen, who served as president of Princeton from 1972 to 1988. He worked closely with department leaders to build their budgets and to recruit and retain faculty members. A key innovation was his creation and use of a "target of opportunity" fund that allowed the University to act quickly in recruiting internationally valued scholars. In 1989, he returned full time to teaching. The University honored him with the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching upon his retirement in 1994. In 2001, Princeton awarded him an honorary doctor of science degree. He also volunteered as a tutor for high school students in physics, and served on the boards of the Princeton University Press, Bryn Mawr College, the Princeton Adult School, and Princeton Day School. Predeceased by his wife, Eleanor Leah Drutt, he is survived by two sons, Michael and David. A funeral service was held at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home on Sunday, June 22. A memorial service on campus is planned for the fall. Memorial donations may be made to the Friends of the Princeton Public Library.
