With the assistance of his friends, we note more remembrances of Ken Kersch, who died last month at the age of 60 from cancer. The obituary in Newsday, composed by his father and by a long-time college friend, noted his B.A. from Williams College, J.D. from Northwestern University, and Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University before identifying Professor Kersch as "a preeminent scholar of the United States Constitution, American political and constitutional development, and conservative constitutional thought." It continued, "He truly enjoyed teaching, and he was greatly admired and appreciated by his students. . . . Ken was a lover of art, music, literature, an history, and had a passion for the outdoors."
Boston College's very full and impressive memorial is here. Recollections of him by colleagues and a former student are here.
Update: Professor Kersch's family asks that donations be made in his memory to The Trevor Project.
