FACULTY & FRIENDS DEATHS

George Rutledge, former Virginia Tech police chief, died July 29. Rutledge served on the university's police force for 44 years. From 1961-1973, he was the department chief. He officially retired on Dec. 31, 1989, with forty years of service, but returned to the job a few weeks later and continued to work for another four years as a wage officer doing special projects. Capt. Billy Cardwell, who worked with Rugledge for more than 20 years, notes that "George treated everybody equal--from the president of the university to the lowest-paid person. He could talk to anybody."

George Briggs Collins, a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, died Dec. 15. Collins joined the Department of Physics Tech in 1971 at the age of 65 after working at Notre Dame, the University of Rochester, and Brookhaven. While at Tech, he led a group that successfully completed one of the first experiments at the highest-energy accelerator at Fermilab. Collins formally retired from Tech in 1976 but continued to teach part-time until 1985. In 1981 he chaired the Collins Committee, which studied the feasibility of establishing a core curriculum at the university.
