The loss of his thoughts and his voice leaves the world a sadder, poorer and less literate place.

Marguerite,
I am so sorry about the loss of this great man. He will not be forgotten because his words and ideas will live on. I send you my deepest sympathy and love,

We were very privileged to have Dr. Barzun at our "Classic Books" meeting one day, and to have an autographed copy of his "From Dawn to Decadence" in our Northwood Presbyterian Church Library.

I was a student attending Prof. Barzun's graduate history department class on Social and Cultural History of Europe in 1950/51. At first his lectures were far more learned and erudite than I could comprehend. By the end of the course, happily, I belive that I could understand most, but not necessarily all of his resoning, knowledge, content and linkages. Yet I remain to this day a full admirer of his teaching and writing. Murray Feshbach, Ph.D., Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington, DC

I had the delight and pleasure to work for Mr. Barzun for several years. He always showed me the highest standard of ethics and business propriety. He was an inspiration. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Barzun and family.

As an Black man who grow up in the sixties, when it was fashionable to think of myself as an African rather than an American, the writings of Prof. Barzun forced me to celebrate the complexity of my Afro-American identity, birthright and heritage. Thank you professor. May you forever dwell on the Mount Olympus of humanity's greatest minds.
