Cecil Brett

Brett dies at 90: Cecil Brett, professor of government and history emeritus, died March 21, 2008, at the age of 90. A native of Canada, he served with the Intelligence Corps of the British Army in India, Burma, Malaya and Hong Kong from 1945 to 1947. Following the war, he earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of British Columbia. He later earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. From 1956 through 1959, he was assistant to the coordinator of the Thailand Public Administration Program at Indiana University, and from 1959 through 1962 served as chief adviser and visiting professor in the Institute of Public Administration at Thammasat University in Bangkok. Brett came to Monmouth College in 1963 to direct the college’s new East Asian Studies Program. He also developed the Great Decisions Program in 1981—a forum at which the public and academic community meets to discuss world affairs. This program is still active at Monmouth College. He retired from teaching in 1983. In 1986, he was awarded the Royal Decoration of Commander of the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand by the Prime Minister of Thailand. A memorial fund has been established at Monmouth College.
