NORTHBROOK, IL (February 27, 2008) \u2013 A memorial service for longtime North Park University professor and Dean of Students Carroll Peterson, 90, will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Northbrook United Methodist Church.
\n
\nPeterson, who died Friday, was born March 19, 1917, in Chicago, just blocks from the university where he would spend his professional career. He married Verla Bayly in 1943.<\/p>\n

He earned his undergraduate degree in biology from Augustana College in 1939 and his master\u2019s degree from Northwestern University in 1940. Military service cut short his work for a doctorate in botany.<\/p>\n

Peterson, known as \u201cC.P.\u201d to students, served at the university from 1946 to 1982 in various roles, including professor of biology, chair of the division of science and mathematics, and resident director. He was dean of students for nearly 20 years. Peterson also represented the school as president of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW).<\/p>\n

North Park awarded him an honorary doctorate during the 2006 May commencement. In making the presentation, 1956 graduate and ABC-TV medical editor Dr. G. Timothy Johnson noted the influence of his mentor. \u201cHe made biology come alive and inspired many young people to pursue careers in science,\u201d Johnson recalled. \u201cAt many points in my life I have remembered the way in which C.P. would \u2018do it\u2019 – and that memory has always inspired me and served me well. He was, and is, a role model par excellence.\u201d For the text of Johnson\u2019s remarks, see Peterson honored<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to Peterson\u2019s wife, survivors include two sons, Vaughn and Barry Peterson, and a daughter, Doreen Dimick.<\/p>\n

Memorials can be directed to the Carroll J. Peterson Scholarship Fund at North Park University, Box 6, 3225 W. Foster, Chicago, IL, 60625. Gifts should bear a notation that the gift is for the Peterson fund.<\/p>\n
