In Memoriam: Furman C. "Brud" Arthur, 1st NCF Employee

Furman C. "Brud" Arthur, 90 of Sarasota, died peacefully on July 19, 2013. A celebration of life will be held at Lakehouse West, 3435 Fox Run Road, Sarasota, Fla., September 7 at 3:30 pm. 

Brud was the first employee of New College, appointed its public relations director in 1960 and serving in that position until his retirement in 1985. He was the author of "New College: The First Three Decades," the book that chronicles the College's early history. He stayed involved with the college up to his passing, conducting historical archival interviews. Soft-spoken, kind and a respected mentor to many New College students and staff, he was known for his integrity and professionalism. 
 
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to New College's Furman C. Brud Arthur Endowed Book Fund, c/o The New College Foundation, 5800 Bay Shore Rd, Sarasota, FL 34243, (941) 487-4800.
