色情视频 is planning a celebration Wednesday, Nov. 17 in observance of the naming of Lamden Hall in honor of a former accounting department chair and business dean, the late Charles W. Lamden, and his wife Gertrude 鈥淭rudy鈥� Lamden.  As a tribute to the Lamden family鈥檚 philanthropic contributions and legacy at the university, the Education and Business Administration Building was renamed Lamden Hall on Sept. 28.

色情视频鈥檚 Charles W. Lamden School of Accountancy in the Fowler College of Business is named for Lamden, who was the driving force in the founding of the university's College of Business Administration.  He served as the dean of the School of Business Administration from 1954 to 1965.

For almost half a century, Lamden served as a mentor for colleagues and 色情视频 students. He remains a beloved figure at 色情视频.  

鈥淚t is our honor to preserve the legacy of Charles W. Lamden and his family with a building naming, which is both a significant and rare occurrence,鈥� said 色情视频 President Adela de la Torre. 鈥淭he contributions Charles and Trudy Lamden made in life are with us today, and will be for future generations.鈥�

Legacy

The Lamden Hall naming serves to recognize the many contributions Charles W. Lamden made to his field, his students and to higher education. It also recognizes and preserves the memory, legacy and many philanthropic contributions the Lamden family has made in service to the university.

Charles and Trudy鈥檚 daughter, Carol Lamden Corby, remembers her parents as being very supportive of one another.  She recalls her father as a caring man known for his integrity.

鈥淗e loved and cared about his students and his students connected with him,鈥� Carol said. 鈥淗is sense of integrity was not only in teaching, but in the way he lived.鈥�

Bill Lamden (鈥�66) remembers his mother as a talented accountant in her own right. He describes his father as an accountant who had a passion for teaching.

鈥淢y dad was a born teacher,鈥� Bill said. 鈥淗e wanted to be on campus with his students, in his class doing what he loved.  He taught his students the importance of adhering to ethics through ethical presentations, which has largely been lost today.  He was about equity and fairness.鈥�

Bill鈥檚 wife, Evelyn Lamden, says their relatives are looking forward to seeing the family name prominently displayed on campus. 鈥淭he whole family is quite excited about it,鈥� Evelyn said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a bit surreal to see your family name on a building, but I think there will be a lot of pride.鈥�

鈥淲e believe the name has meaning because of who my dad was and it lends meaning to the university,鈥� Bill said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what makes me prouder than anything else.鈥�  

The right characteristics

Faculty Emerita Sharon Lightner (鈥�73) taught financial accounting at the same time Charles Lamden was a faculty member. She remembers him as a 鈥済enerous and humble鈥� colleague who would invite other faculty members to his home for dinner.

鈥淗e was very gracious,鈥� Lightner said. 鈥淗e had ethics, integrity, and was just so professional in everything he did.  He had all the characteristics we want our students to have.鈥�

Students found Lamden to be accessible and friendly, Lightner recalls.  She said it makes her happy the building where their offices were housed will bear the Lamden name.

鈥淚t brings back a nice memory of all our faculty offices up and down that hall and Charles was always there,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 am fortunate to have known him.

鈥淓very time I walk by that building now I will smile because it鈥檚 a great remembrance.鈥�
