Dr. Bernard Kaplan

Bernie had a huge influence on me when I was in grad school down the road at Harvard. He let me attend his seminars which were exciting, improvised festivals of intellectual exploration and camaraderie.
He came to Cambridge, MA to run a joint seminar with my advisor and his sparring partner, Larry Kohlberg, a weekly meeting that was packed with conceptual jousting, meditations on genesis, Viet Nam, personal asides, and a general bonhomie. The Clark and Harvard students got on...

Dr. Kaplan,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in the CBI during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Jane, I was on the Clark faculty with Bernie and did his Income Taxes for years. WE all loved him, his smile seemed constant. God really created a "mensch" when he was born. ..bob hurwitz, cpa, now in florida

One of the most important of my experiences at Clark was the morning kaffeklatch where Bernie would host table talk better than many seminars. We argued much; I loved him.

I remember Bernie well as a fellow graduate of Clark...His accomplishments speak of his committment to learning. Although I have not seen him since college days, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew him. My condolence to the family.

Dear Jane & Family,

We were saddened to read of Bernie's passing. In the days ahead you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for serving our country. May you rest in peace. May your family find comfort in faith.
