Gerald H. Clarfield
Gerald H. Clarfield died on July 15, 2001, at his home in Healdsburg, Calif. His passing is mourned at MU. But sadness is dimmed by appreciation of his achievements as a historian of the diplomacy of the United States, his decisive presence in the department of history as chair, and the lingering aftertaste of his comments on life in Boone County, leavened by his wonderful dry wit. He was 65.
Professor Clarfield was born Jan. 9, 1936 in San Francisco. The son of immigrant parents, he absorbed their work ethic and quiet patriotism. To the end of his life, he was a connoisseur of World War II planes, and was openly delighted when his colleagues presented him with a book about them when he retired from MU in May 2000.
His early interest in international affairs inspired him to major in history at the University of California-Berkeley, and later he received a Ph.D. in American diplomatic history. He specialized in diplomacy of the early republic. His research took him far afield, across the country in a Volkswagen Beetle with his wife Julie and their infant daughter Leslie. He remarked that trip more than qualified him to study Timothy Pickering. Professor Clarfield's work on that statesman is still the definitive study. Given his transcontinental research, it was fitting that the Clarfields settled in the heart of the country. In 1968, the Clarfields moved to Missouri where they became famous for their graciousness and parties that featured "fish house punch." He prided himself on his relative immunity to this rum-based drink, while ruefully confessing each Halloween that too many samplings from the bowl left him feeling "fragile" the following day.
He established himself as bon vivant and a first-rate historian of American diplomacy.
On campus and within the department, Professor Clarfield proved to be an excellent citizen of the university. Between 1986 and 1989, his years as chair, his colleagues often noticed that no one could say "no" better or more finally than him. He was that rarity on campus: A person of principle and action, a colleague who mixed honor and scholarship.
Professor Clarfield gave greatly to this community while still longing to return to the Bay Area. Though saddened by the Clarfields departure last year, his friends rejoiced at their obvious elation about returning. He left behind Columbia, MU, scholarship and teaching, not so much because he was tired of them, as because he was ready to share something else with Julie.
The fact that he had less than a year to find that something else might be regarded by some as a tragedy. He would want us to emphasize that it was a blessing that he and Julie had that time, back in their beloved home.
He understood the intellectual and physical evanescence of scholarly attainments better than most. As proof, he loved to point to his dissertation, typed by Julie, in defiance of graduate school regulations at Berkeley - on cheap erasable paper.
"It's long gone," he'd laugh. "The years have dissolved it!"
He knew it was not what you left behind that granted immortality; it was who, and how they though of you.
Professor Clarfield is survived by his wife Julie, his daughter Leslie and colleagues and friends in Missouri.
Bullion is an MU history professor and one of Professor Clarfield's colleagues.
