![]() He was a source of encouragement and inspiration for students and colleagues alike. ![]() Those of us who knew him will always remember his cheerfulness, his fine sense of humor, and his optimistic outlook on life, as well as the aura of confidence and enthusiasm he radiated. Many of us still remember with pleasure the many departmental parties that Frank generously hosted in his home. In the 1970s he served as Chair of the Department and later on for many years as Director of Undergraduate Studies. As a tenured faculty member from the mid-1970s to 2002, Frank was very much at the center of departmental life. When teaching his Western Civilization classes, Miami’s largest lecture rooms were filled to the brim with more than 250 students. Thanks to his lively presentation, animated style, and detailed knowledge of the subject matter, Frank was beloved by his students, who clamored to take his courses. Frank was an extremely lively and admired teacher who taught a series of immensely popular courses on Reformation Europe and modern British History, as well as large surveys on Western Civilization, stretching from the ancient Near East to modern times. Frank was a member of the Department of History from 1969 to 2002. It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of our long-time colleague, Professor Frank Stuart, on Augat his home in Colorado, where he lived since retiring from the University of Miami.
