DOUGLAS CANDLAND

CANDLAND--Douglas K. Douglas Keith Candland died peacefully on Sunday, April 16, 2023 in Lewisburg, PA with his sons by his side. Professor Candland received distinguished teaching awards from the American Psychological Foundation and the Animal Behavior Society. He established programs in Animal Behavior and Environmental Science at Bucknell University, where he taught from 1960 to 2002. After retiring from classroom teaching and running a primate center, he edited the Review of General Psychology, gave television commentary, and reviewed books. Candland's parents, marrying in 1926, moved from Salt Lake to Long Beach where on July 9, 1934 Doug was born. He would be their only child. His parents finished their schooling in Utah in the eighth grade, to help their families financially. After high school graduation, Doug was working with the Civilian Conservation Corps when Pomona College called with news of an unexpected scholarship. Doug retained a life-long sensitivity to scholarship students. He arrived at Princeton University in 1956 and in 1959 received his Ph.D. degree and married Mary Elizabeth Homrighausen. After a postdoctoral year at the University of Virginia, Doug and Mary accepted a position at Bucknell. The Animal Behavior center that Doug and Bucknell established in 1968 allowed Doug and his students to study previously undocumented behavior of indoor-outdoor, socially housed hamadryas, gelada, macaque, squirrel monkeys, and other primates. Doug's 100 or so published papers were almost always with colleagues and students. Doug had visiting professorships at the primate centers at Tulane, Stirling, Cambridge, Mysore, and Berkeley. He wrote several books. "Psychology: The Experimental Approach," (McGraw-Hill 1968, 1978) served as the text for schools featuring experimental psychology. "Emotion" (Wadsworth 1977, 2003) contains essays by most of the members of Bucknell's psychology department. Doug considered his monograph on the history of studies of emotion in the volume to be his finest scholarship. "Feral Children and Clever Animals: Reflections on Human Nature" (Oxford 1993) found an audience outside of academics and led to a TV career in which Doug interviewed and commented on presumed feral children and primate behavior. He was most proud of his TV work for BBC and French TV on animal rights. His final book was "Archeopsychology of the Modern Mind" (2012). He was editor of the Review of General Psychology from 2002 to 2014 and a frequent author of commissioned book reviews. His last contribution was a lecture on feral children made for the University of California television. At Bucknell, he assisted students with the "commune" styled Cross-Genera- tional Project. His most satisfying contribution to Bucknell was his work with the group who designed and implemented the Weis Center: Janet Weis, Jackson Hill, Ralph Rees, and John Zeller. In April 2021, Glen Tullman, Bucknell '81, made a significant gift to Bucknell which included an endowed chair named for Doug. He was a trustee of the Wildlife Preservation Trust International. In sport and hobby, Doug was regarded as a B squash player and an online grandmaster at Cribbage. His son Ian and his wife Mary preceded him in death. He is survived by his sons Kevin and Christopher, daughters-in-law Katie and Nurjanah, and granddaugh- ters Emma, Fiona, and Ajeng. He will rest in the Lewisburg cemetery next to his wife, his son, and his father.
