I write with the sad news that our friend, colleague, RSA Fellow, and former president of RSA, C. Jan Swearingen, passed away Thursday, June 1. As a member of the English faculty at Texas A&M University for many years, Jan was an influential historian of rhetoric who led RSA through a formative time. On behalf of RSA, I have expressed our condolences to her son, Ben. Arrangements will be announced at http://www.hillierfuneralhome.com/tributes/Jan-Swearingen
