Edward Lovell ("Ted") Anthony II (MBA '52), who served as editor of this magazine from 1962 to 1981, was killed in an automobile accident on November 18 in Maui, Hawaii. He was 80 years old.

A 1943 graduate of Harvard College, Anthony spent four years in the U.S. Navy as assistant chief of the Photographic Intelligence Training Department, where he taught air photo interpretation and analysis. Before enrolling as a student at HBS, Anthony also served as assistant to the president of the Daltry Opera Company, assistant to the headmaster of the Manter Hall School in Cambridge, and associate editor for the Public Affairs Press. After graduating from HBS, he became chief of the Publications Division of the Small Business Administration in Washington, D.C.

Anthony's career as Bulletin editor spanned nearly twenty years and the tenures of HBS Deans George P. Baker and Lawrence E. Fouraker. His detailed reports on faculty research, campus construction, and the School's growing international reach were regular features during that period. In an article marking the magazine's 75th anniversary in 1999, Anthony noted the transitions that occurred while he was at the School, in particular, the impact of the political and social upheaval triggered by U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. "For half a century," he wrote, "the attitudes and objectives of students and faculty at HBS had been fairly consistent from one year to the next, but the early '70s marked a turning point."

Anthony was a trustee of the Dr. Franklin Perkins School in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and of the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont. He was also warden of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He leaves his wife, Constance; sons Edward III and Richard; sisters Mary West and Helen James; and four grandchildren. A daughter, Victoria, predeceased him. Funeral services were held in December in Hawaii. The family has requested that memorial donations be made to a charity of one's choice.
