John D. Kemper was the second dean of the College of Engineering, serving from 1969 to 1983. Kemper Hall is named for him and there is a huge portrait of him in the lobby.
Kemper came to UC Davis in 1963 as a professor in mechanical engineering. He wrote a book on engineering called Engineers and their Profession. A copy of this book can be found in the glass display case in the lobby of Kemper Hall.
What he's doing now? I think someone said something about him retiring to Oregon.
