In Memoriam: Faculty

Ruth Sadowsky died Dec. 5, 2012, in her Berkeley, Calif., home, two weeks short of turning 97. She was an associate professor of music at CC for 10 years and was well known around the nation for being an impeccable pianist and teacher. She also toured on the U.S. State Department Cultural Exchange Program. In the 1940s, she lived in New York City and gave recitals in Carnegie Hall and Town Hall and was a soloist with the Boston Symphony and Denver Symphony. She performed worldwide, in England, Austria, Mexico, Chile, and Uruguay. She was a member of the Berkeley Piano Club for 31 years and its president 1990-91. She is survived by her son, Fred Morton. Her husband, Rand Morton, died in 1998.

Douglas Freed, professor emeritus of psychology, died June 18 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83. His friends and family remember a kind and thoughtful man who was energetic and animated in the classroom and whose wise counsel and measured words helped bring about the Block Plan. Until just a few years ago, he was a familiar figure in downtown coffee shops, where he sat, book in hand, reading and chatting with longtime friends and new acquaintances. Freed, who came to Colorado College in 1956 after earning a doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Minnesota, was one of a handful of professors who loved teaching the Freedom and Authority class in the years before the college adopted the Block Plan in 1970. Freed also was involved in the early thinking and planning for what is now the Master of Arts in Teaching program. Both experiences informed Freed as he became a persuasive voice in faculty deliberations about the Block Plan.

He was a dedicated teacher as well, and team-taught courses with many other professors in other disciplines, including the late sociology professor Eli Boderman; English professors John Simons, Dan Tynan, and the late Ruth Barton; German professor Dirk Baay; religion professor Sam Williams; classics professor Owen Cramer as well as his wife, Spanish professor Maria Daniels, among others.

Maria Daniels, professor emerita of Spanish and Freed’s wife since 1984, said he had struggled with memory loss and later Alzheimer’s, for about 10 years. “It took a lot of stamina,” she said. He maintained his sweetness and good cheer throughout the illness, always working with his friends and family to cope.

Besides Daniels and Elaine Freed, Douglas Freed is survived by sons Casey Freed and David Freed, both of Portland, Ore., and Maria’s three brothers and their families.
