By David Gonnerman '90
July 6, 2010

Lloyd Gunderson '53, professor emeritus of classics, died July 4, at his home in Northfield. He was 78. A memorial service will be held in Northfield Friday, July 9, at 2 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church.

"He was a complex person who had a love of many things," Provost and Dean of St. Olaf James May told the Star Tribune. "He relished the challenge presented by [classics], and students responded in a positive way." Gunderson joined the St. Olaf faculty in 1967 and retired in 1994.
