obit: The New York Times obituary of John Herman Randall, Jr.follows:

John Herman Randall Jr., a philosopher and author who taught at Columbia for more than half a century, died Monday at his residence on Claremont Avenue in Manhattan. He was 81 years old.
Dr. Randall, an interpreter of Greek humanism and Christian ethics, was a historian of philosophy and the Western intellectual tradition. A Columbia naturalist of the school of John Dewey and Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, he became the first incumbent when the Woodbridge Professorship in the history of philosophy was established at Columbia in 1951.
He Retired in 1967 but continued to give special lectures at Columbia until 1970.
As an author, Dr. Randall was best known for The Making of the Modern Mind, a book that first appeared in 1926 and, with some revisions, continued in print for more than 50 years. A paperback edition was issued by the Columbia University Press on its 50th anniversary.
1965 Book Received Award. The first volume of his The Career of Philosophy in Modern Times came out in 1962. Its second volume, in 1965, received the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award from the Phi Beta Kappa Senate. Dr. Randall signed a faculty statement in 1933, issued by the Columbia Socialist Club, to denounce rampant economic nationalism and individualism which threaten to sweep the world into another war. In 1935, he resigned with other officers of the American Federation of Teachers to protest left-wing agitation that was turning a labor union into a political movment. He led other educators in 1940 in challenging the ban against the appointment of Bertrand Russell to the City College faculty, prompted by the British philosophers views on religion and morality. After World War II, Dr. Randall again spoke out when tenured professors were ousted solely for having been members of the Communist Party. He was born in Grand Rapids, Mich., the son of a Baptist minister. He graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia College in 1918, became a Columbia University instructor in 1921, earned his doctorate at the university the following year and became a full professor in 1935.
Dr. Randalls wife, the former Mercedes Irene Moritz, died in 1977. He is survived by two sons, John Herman 3d of Boston, and Francis Ballard of Manhattan, and two grandchildren.
