"There is little hope that we will see her match again soon. Her own work has been a decisive influence in shaping solid state, atomic, and nuclear physics. Without her, hardly anyone is left who understands all of physics and teaches it in a universal way."		 Robert Carl Elliott, Professor of English Literature, UC San Diego
1914-1981
"He was a powerful department chairman, a leader all the way. He was also a powerful colleague, enabling all of us to understand that, although we could never achieve utopia, we must nonetheless strive for it."		 Harvey S. Perloff, Dean of the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning, UC Los Angeles
1915-1983
"In 1968, Harvey assumed his stewardship at UCLA. Over the next fifteen years, he raised the School from insignificant beginnings to one of the leading centers for Architectural and Planning study in the world. It was his crowning achievement."		 Choh Hao Li, Professor of Biochemistry and Experimental Endocrinology, and Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Endocrinology, UC San Francisco

"Professor Li left an enormous legacy of accomplishments to the world of science as well as a standard of continuous discipline of organization and hands-on personal involvement in research."		 Vernon I. Cheadle,
Professor of Biological Sciences, UC Santa Barbara
Chancellor of UC Santa Barbara
1910-1995
"Vernon Cheadle's mission was to transform a small, mostly undergraduate college into a first-class general campus of the University of California. He succeeded admirably in carrying out his mission: Vernon Cheadle became the architect and builder of this campus."
