Mr. Harold Stoner Clark

Harold Stoner Clark gave California Lutheran University the bulk and residue of his estate upon his death in 1983 for the purpose of endowing a Chair in Philosophy, or to be used as a grant for a guest lectureship bearing his name. Mr. Clark charged the university with sponsoring guest speakers from the field of science and philosophy. His desire was to have a lectureship that focused on the relation of philosophy and science, with special attention to the limitations of science. Mr. Clark was fascinated all his life by a philosophical sense of wonder about what lies just beyond the reach of scientific research. He was a person in search of the truth, and asked very little for himself. Living humbly and with few material possessions. He came to know CLU through Pastor Rasbach at Hope Lutheran Church in Los Angeles, which he occasionally attended.
