Description
Dr. Perry Brundage was a member of the Chemistry Department at EMU from 1923-1959. He succeeded Bert W. Peet as head of the department in 1941, and served as such for roughly fifteen years. Professor Brundage was widely respected by colleagues and is remembered by his students as a very caring teacher.
As a teacher, Professor Brundage had high standards and expectations for his students. Most of his students saw him as formal and imposing. However, many of them learned that he also was sensitive to their needs and found creative ways of addressing them.
Because of their respect for Professor Brundage, his colleagues initiated a drive to raise money for this scholarship. Many alumni joined them in making donations. However, it was the children of Professor Brundage who most generously contributed and ensured the success of the drive, to preserve the legacy of their father.
