Dean’s scholar Program
The Clarence E. Dammon Dean’s Scholar
Program is named for a former Purdue
University speech professor, registrar, and director
of admissions who died in 1957 while employed
at Purdue. At the time of his death, the Purdue
University Board of Trustees voted
to defer the fees for his chil-
dren, who would be attend-
ing the University a few
years later. Clarence’s
son, Jim Dammon, and
Jim’s wife, Marilynn,
named the Clarence
E. Dammon Dean’s
Scholar Program in
2003 with a gift that
honors Jim’s father
and expresses gratitude
to Purdue University.
