Memorial Services

Dr. Robert Arnstein

There will be a memorial service on Saturday, April 3, for Dr. Robert L. Arnstein, who counseled thousands of undergraduate and graduate students over nearly 40 years as chief psychiatrist in the Yale University Health Services.

The service will be held at 2 p.m. in Battell Chapel, corner of Elm and College streets. A reception will follow at the New Haven Lawn Club, 193 Whitney Ave.

In addition to his role as counselor to students, Dr. Arnstein was a nationally renowned leader in the field of college mental health, whose guidance made the University's mental hygiene department become a national model for other campus mental health services. He died on Oct. 2, 2003 at age 84.

Richard B. Sewall

A memorial service for professor Richard B. Sewall, the first master of Ezra Stiles College and a long-time member of the Department of English, will take place on Friday, April 2.

The service will be held at 4:30 p.m. in the Ezra Stiles master's house, 9 Tower Pkwy.

A noted scholar, Professor Sewall authored two works that have become classics in their fields -- "The Life of Emily Dickinson" and "The Vision of Tragedy."

He passed away on April 16, 2003 at the age of 95.
