Campus Notice: Royce Delmatier, Political Science Services March 29

Royce Delmatier, long-time political science chair, passed away Sunday evening, March 23, at the age of 84, surrounded by his family. Professor Delmatier was born in San Francisco in 1924. His graduation from high school was marked by the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941. He began his college education at UC Berkeley, but shortly thereafter enlisted in the Army. While on leave before shipping out to the European theater, he married his high school sweetheart, Naomi Henderson, in 1944. After landing on Utah Beach six weeks after D-Day, he served as a motor sergeant in General Patton’s Third Army, winning four battle stars.

After the war, Delmatier spent 10 years at UC Berkeley, earning a PhD with twin majors in U.S. History and American Government. In 1959, he was hired by newly elected Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown. He served as both the chief deputy director of what is now the Department of Consumer Affairs and as special consultant and deputy director to the Department of Veterans Affairs. During this time, he also served as a representative for Governor Brown to the California Legislature.

In 1966, Delmatier returned to teaching and became the first coordinator of the Public Administration program at CSU, Chico. He taught at CSU, Chico until he retired in 1989. During this time he chaired the Department of Political Science most of those years and represented the University on the Statewide Academic Senate a number of times. He also served as CSU, Chico’s faculty representative to what is now called the California Collegiate Athletic Conference from 1973 until 1988 and is one of the very few non-athletes inducted into the CSU, Chico Athletic Hall of Fame.

After his retirement, Delmatier earned an additional Bachelor of Arts degree in English. He also was very active as an elder, finance officer, Bible study leader and missions chairman at Grace Community Church in Chico.

He is survived by his wife, Joyce; his five children, John, Karl, Lynn, Denise and Charmaine, and their spouses; and his five grandchildren, Robert, Nicole, Abigail, Elliott and Elissa. The memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, March 29, at 2 pm at Grace Community Church, 2346 Floral Ave., Chico. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in support of David Pardini, serving at the China Baptist Theological College in Hong Kong, in care of Grace Community Church.

The University flag will be lowered today, March 27, in Professor Delmatier’s memory.
