May presided over a gathering that was vital, creative, friendly, and professional. His departure leaves a terrible lacuna in his domestic universe, his church, his extraordinarily diverse circle of friends and colleagues, the University of Utah, the history profession, and the Mormon History Association. Dean gave a paper on Kanab's demography at MHA's first official luncheon, sponsored at the Organization of American Historians. Drawing on a just-completed course in statistics at the Newberry Library, it started him toward being a demographer. In an article on Mormon ethnicity for the Harvard Encyclopedia of Ethnicity, he brought together anthropology and history methods. In coauthoring Building the City of God with Leonard J. Arrington and Feramorz Y. Fox, he clarified the United Order in nine- teenth-century Mormonism while illuminating community and coopera- tion in twentieth-century Mormonism. In Three Frontiers, honored with MHA's Best Book award, Dean brought demography and social history together in a cross-cultural study of the varied communities that settled the Far West. Dean and Cheryll served on the program committee for the MHA annual meeting in Canandaigua in 1980, for which Dean secured a grant to inaugurate the MHA Tanner Lectures. Ever since, an outstanding non- Mormon scholar has annually shared observations, perceptions, and analy- ses of some aspect of the Mormon past, thus helping locate the study of Mormonism in the larger field of history and religion. Always Dean searched for ways to connect the past and the present. His presidential address focused on converts' sea voyages during the gath- ering to Zion as an important aspect of "making Saints." This address also called on his own experience as a teacher and ship president aboard a sailing vessel that reenacted a typical nineteenth-century voyage. Then in a charm- ing gesture as president, he told how he had driven to the Idaho farm where Leonard Arrington grew and, with permission, took an unusual rock from the irrigation canal.
