Hilail Gildin (1928-2015)
He was a true friend and a great scholar.
Professor Gildin was a true scholar and gracious mentor. His classes were always lively excursions into the examination of philosophical ideas, and his dynamic teaching was an inspiration those of us who went into college teaching in the field.
I will miss him very much.
