What a sad loss for us all. Harold was a giant in our field who
was ever-ready to deploy his immense erudition to help other scholars and did
so with a legendary generosity of spirit.

Dear colleagues,
It is with sadness that I write to inform you that Professor Harold Luntz passed away on Wednesday 29 January.

The Harold Luntz Graduate Research Thesis Prize is named for Emeritus Professor Harold Luntz, in recognition of his many contributions to MLS.
