One of my favorite Clark University professors. Saddened to learn of Professor Overvold's passing. Clark is the poorer without him. I think of him muchly. Deborah (Malik) San Gabriel Clark '80

Vale, Professor Overvold. I was in your Existentialism course when I was at Clark in the late 1970s. I still have the text with the Brancusi sculpture on the cover. You were the heart and soul of that department. I will never forget Professor Overvold. May your memory be a blessing.

Farewell to you, childhood friend from Middle River. I recall your purple and black Model T that could hold eight teenagers and several standing on the running boards. Practically the whole class! Again, fare thee well in your next adventure.

Some of my fondest memories at Clark are with Dr. Overvold in the Philosophy House. His commentaries on Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, his willingness to engage with students, and his approach to European history illustrate the depth of his thinking, his heart, and his vision. I still have my notes and critical readings, which I peruse every now and again. To you, Professor! Thank you.
