Arthur Kelman, who was a highly regarded professor and researcher with UW-Madison’s plant pathology department for nearly 25 years, died Monday (June 29)at the age of 90.
“He was a stellar scientist and scholar of the first rank,” said John Andrews, a UW-Madison professor of plant pathology. “But beyond that he was a great humanitarian. He understood people very well, was a great advocate for his profession and always saw the best in people. He was broadly influential and well known on this campus.”
