In Memoriam

The Political Science Department was saddened to recently learn of the passing of Professor Henry M. Holland, Jr.

Before retiring from the University of Denver in 1991, Holland taught generations of students, many of whom aspired to go to law school. Remembering the decision to hire Holland, retired Professor Steve McCarl recalled that those in the Department, “sensed that he had a broad liberal arts approach…He was balanced and impartial in his study of the law.” McCarl went on to remember that in his years on the Department, “Henry never put narrow personal interests ahead of the common interests…He was a model citizen.”

We are proud to say that Holland’s influence on and connection to the existing Department is still seen in both our “balanced and impartial” and “broad liberal arts approach” to the study of political science.
