Information trouvée : Harry Woolf, a former provost of Johns Hopkins, longtime chair of the History of Science Department and founding member of JHPIEGO Corp., died of Parkinson's disease on Jan. 6 at his Princeton, N.J., home. Woolf, who was 79, is remembered by former colleagues as a great thinker, visionary and friend. He taught physics and history of science at Boston and Brandeis universities and then was appointed to the faculty of the University of Washington, where he became the editor of Isis, a scholarly review devoted to the history of science. Woolf came to Johns Hopkins in 1961 to become the Willis K. Shepherd Chair of the new History of Science Department. In 1972, he was named provost of the university, having served previously as both deputy president and chief academic officer. Woolf left Hopkins in 1976 to become the director of the Institute for Advanced Study, an independent research institution located in Princeton, N.J.
