	Record: George Pake, professor of science, provost, emeritus trustee, dies
		George E. Pake, Ph.D., recipient of the National Medal of Science, professor of physics, University provost from 1962-1970, and emeritus trustee, died of heart failure Thursday, March 4, 2004, in Tucson, Ariz. He was 79.
		Pake, an Ohio native, began his education as a mechanical engineering student at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1942; he eventually changed his major to physics and earned both a bachelor's and master's degree in physics from there in 1945.
		Pake's paper literally became a classic; between 1961 and 1981 alone it was cited 435 times in other scientists' work, earning his first professional publication a "Citation Classic" award, a rare and prestigious honor.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Obituaries / George Pake, 79, physicist who ran legendary Xerox lab
		George E. Pake, a physicist who helped found the research lab that gave birth to the first personal computer and other tools of the digital age, died of heart failure March 4 at his Tucson home.
		"George used to say he'd be surprised if anything came out of the lab within five years that would have tremendous impact on the corporation," said John Shoch, who joined PARC in 1971 as a research fellow.
		"Pake was a physicist who never fully understood the computer science research there," even though much of PARC's fame comes from this branch of research, said Robert Taylor, who oversaw the computer science lab from 1970 to 1983 and frequently fought with Dr. Pake over resources.
