Pendleton E. Lehde (b. October 2, 1892; d. Feb. 25, 1977) is perhaps best known for his work as a professor of Engineering at Tulane University from 1917 to 1919. His legacy lives on to this day through the existence of the "Pendleton Lehde Lab," an electronics laboratory on the third floor of Stanley Thomas Hall on the main Tulane campus (room #305). Lehde also served as the Radio & Electrical Student Section Army Training Corps, Camp Martin, World War I. He was also the builder of the Tulane broadacasting staion "WAAC" in association with Drs. Joseph C. Morris and Daniel Elliott. In addition, he was a member of numerous engineering and honor societies including Tau Beta Pi, and was an IEEE fellow. Upon Pendleton Lehde's death, he was survived by his beloved wife, Hannah Seymour Graham (October 9, 1893 - Dec. 11, 1989). His epitaph, a testament of his love for his dear Hannah, reads, "Think of me as withdrawn into dimness, Yours still - you mine And so to where I wait, Come gently on." |
