Dr. Alex Stump dies
The college lost one of its all-time great teachers with the September 25 death of Dr. Alexander B. Stump, 80-year-old professor emeritus of biology.
He taught and headed the department here for 25 years after coming to PC in 1947 from the faculty of Flora MacDonald College. And by the time he retired to his Lake Greenwood home in 1972, he had earned the affection and esteem of hundreds of students as well as colleagues in the field. Although his teaching and advising of pre-medical students came first, he also engaged in published research.
Dr. Stump was elected president of the South Carolina Academy of Science in 1951 and received PC's 1970 Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award.
A Maryland native, he earned BS, MS and PhD degrees from the University of Virginia and served in the Army medical detachment during World War II. He was a founder of Clinton's All Saints Episcopal Church.
Survivors include wife Sally, a sister and daughters Margaret S. Wilson '64, Mary Bartram S. Witt, Nancy S. Batton, Allison S. Tillinghast and Harriet B. McKee '74.
