Five years ago the world lost one of its most prolific insurance
scholars, Dr. Robert I. Mehr. His death in 1988 signalled the
passing of not only a gifted writer and researcher, but also a
pioneering teacher, mentor, and friend. The essays compiled within
this volume are intended as an appropriate tribute to this
occasionally outrageous individual who touched the lives of so many
within the insurance community. Bob Mehr was a teacher who expected
and demanded nothing less than perfect scholarship and flawless,
efficient writing. Among alumni of the University of lllinois
insurance doctoral program, stories still abound of late night and
early morning sessions in which students and professor
painstakingly debated precise words and phrases for dissertations,
journal articles, and textbooks. Bob's respect for language was
both immense and contagious, if at times more than a little
compulsive. He joked that he could not read letters or novels
without pencil in hand for editing. Bob's respect for his doctoral
students was equally evident. The confidence he displayed in his
students' abilities was sometimes startling, but "competence
assumed" often begot "competence in fact." The accomplishments and
records amassed by the many who studied with Bob Mehr are
impressive and ongoing. On the dedication page in his final
textbook, Fundamentals of Insurance, Bob spoke of his affection for
those he called his "academic progeny" and wished them happiness as
they build their own academic families.
