George S. Ansell of Tucson, Ariz., died August 30, 2013. George, born in 1934, was Mines’ 13th president, serving 1984-1998. After graduating from the elite Bronx High School of Science in New York, he was awarded a Naval ROTC scholarship to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in metallurgical engineering in 1954 and a master’s degree in 1955. After graduation, while serving for three years on active duty as an engineering officer in the U.S. Navy, he was appointed to the Metal Physics Consultant Staff of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory as a physical metallurgist. In 1958, he returned to RPI, where he earned a doctoral degree in metallurgical engineering in 1960 and joined the faculty that same year. Active in both teaching and research, he was promoted to professor of metallurgical engineering in 1965 and named Robert W. Hunt Professor in 1967. His career in academic administration began at RPI in 1969, first as chair of the Materials Division and then, in 1974, as dean of the School of Engineering.
After joining Mines as president in 1984, George and his wife, Marjorie, became enthusiastic ambassadors for the school, and together they made a formidable fundraising team. Of the school’s 33 endowed and titled professorships, 17 were established under Ansell’s tenure. Their impact on student financial aid resources was similarly dramatic. The student body became more diverse during his presidency, with the number of under-represented minorities and female students rising considerably. He also had a significant influence on the academic landscape, encouraging expansion of graduate and research programs across campus and accelerating the school’s evolution into a nationally recognized research university.
George worked hard to cultivate strong ties with the State Legislature, helping to secure funding for numerous capital expansion and improvement projects, including renovations to Berthoud Hall, Coolbaugh Hall, Stratton Hall, Alderson Hall, Engineering Hall, the Green Center and Steinhauer Field House, as well as a major addition to Hill Hall.
Upon his retirement in 1998, George received an honorary doctorate of engineering from Mines, and the metallurgy department was renamed the George S. Ansell Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. He and Marjorie were members of the President’s Council for 26 years and established the George and Marjorie Ansell Endowed Scholarship Fund in 1991, which provides need-based financial aid to undergraduates.
George was active for several decades in the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, which recognized him in 1998 with its Distinguished Service Award. He served as a director and a trustee on the United Engineering Trustees board (1983-1997) and was a fellow of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, serving as president, vice president and treasurer, as well as an executive committee member (1974-1987). He was also a fellow of ASM International. At the time of his death, he was on the boards of two corporations, Cyprus Amax Minerals, which he joined in 1987, and OEA, joined in 1993.
His wife, Marjorie, who received a Mines Medal in 2000, also died on August 30. They are survived by their children, Frederick, Laura and Benjamin, and three grandchildren.
Edmund R. Blakeman�’51 of Houston, Texas, died July 16, 2013. Ed was born in 1925 and grew up in California.

He attended Pasadena Junior College in California, met and married his wife, Nancy, and moved to Golden, where he earned a professional degree in geophysical engineering from Mines.
Ed was a longtime petrophysicist for Superior Oil. To aid in analyzing well logs, he developed and built a three-dimensional graphical simultaneous solution to four linear equations that was called Ed’s Playpen and took the shape of a box, 5 feet square. Ed became Mobil’s chief petrophysicist when the company bought Superior Oil. Upon retiring from Mobil, he and Nancy moved to Kauai, Hawaii, where they remained until her death. He then returned to Texas, moving first to Dallas and then Houston.
Ed was member of the President’s Council at Mines for many years and a life member of CSMAA. He is survived by his second wife, Wilodyean Gross; children Kim Blakeman, Karen Blakeman and Jane Schuelke; and nine grandchildren.
