Prof. Frederick Tabbutt [chemistry ’57–71]

Professor Tabbutt was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Haverford Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ, he earned his doctorate in chemistry from Harvard University and came to Reed in 1957. “A hell of a nice guy,” says Bill Gilbreath ’58. After Reed, Tabbutt went on to Evergreen State Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ, where he was a strong proponent of collaborative interdisciplinary teaching and learning. He authored various articles for chemistry journals and also filled temporary teaching and research positions in England and at Carleton Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ. His wife, Betty, and children, Sarah, Ken, Mark, and Joanna, survive him.
