Philip M. Phibbs
University of Puget Sound President Emeritus Philip M. Phibbs died Monday, March 21, at the age of 90. “President Phibbs was a visionary leader who guided Puget Sound through two decades of tremendous change,” says President Isiaah Crawford. “There is no way to adequately express how influential he was in shaping the university we know and love today.” Phibbs served as Puget Sound’s 11th president from 1973 to 1992, a period during which the college refocused efforts to develop and provide an academically rigorous liberal arts education. Widely respected for his work at Puget Sound and in Tacoma, including his roles in founding Tacoma’s Museum of Glass and the revival of the Blue Mouse Theater, Phibbs was an active and enthusiastic community advocate.

An in-person memorial service, open to the public, will be held Saturday, April 9.
