Announcement by Dean of Faculty Carol Folt on March 31, 2005:
It is with deep sadness that I must inform you of the death of
Professor Kenneth P. Bogart of the Mathematics department in a biking
accident. Ken came to Dartmouth in 1968 after receiving his Ph.D. at
the California Institute of Technology in that year. At the time of
his death, Ken was in California on a sabbatical and working to
complete revisions on his books, Introductory Combinatorics and
Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science, while continuing his
research on graph theory and partially ordered sets. During his
career, Ken published nine books and over 60 articles. His many years
of service to Dartmouth were marked by a dedication to teaching, which
included participation in Math Across the Curriculum and his own grant
for Teaching Introductory Combinatorics by Guided Discovery. He will
be sincerely missed by his colleagues, friends and students. Our
thoughts are with his wife, Ruth, and their two children.
