Clarke, S.J., former president and chancellor of Regis University, died April 4 at Hospice House in Spokane. He was 87. "The legacy of Father Clarke runs deep at Regis University," Father John P. Fitzgibbons, S.J., president, said. "His visionary leadership pioneered Regis in adult education and his pas- sion for education was illustrated time and again by his dedication to this institution." David Marshall Clarke was born Nov. 28, 1927 in Chewelah, Wash. to Melvin and Louise ( Van Bibber) Clarke. The family later moved to Spokane. Father Clarke first encountered Jesuit education at Gonzaga University, where he received bachelor's and master's degrees. He went on to earn a doctorate in organic chem- istry from Northwestern University. His experience with the Jesuit tradition at Gonzaga inspired him to enter the Society of Jesus, Oregon Province, in 1953. He was ordained in Spokane June 13, 1964. After a stint at Gonzaga University, he was hired by Regis University in 1972. He served as president for 20 years and tran- sitioned to the role of chancellor for 21 more years until his retirement in 2012. "Considered an educational entrepre- neur, Father Clarke was instrumental in founding the College for Professional Studies, which has brought educa- tional opportunities to generations of adult learners," Father Fitzgibbons wrote in a statement. "Later he formed the foundation of what is today the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions by bringing in the nursing program from Loretto Heights College." "His innovative and successful leader- ship of the university changed the lives of countless students, alumni, faculty, staŸ and community members," he added. Father Clarke is survived by his sister, Ann Nechodom (Warren), and nieces and nephews. A vigil service was held April 10 and funeral Mass celebrated April 11 on the Gonzaga University campus. A memorial Mass is set for 10 a.m. April 25 in St. John Francis Regis Chapel at Regis University.
