Wayne A. Cornelius 鈥67, distinguished professor emeritus of political science at University of California San Diego, recalled his time as Shull鈥檚 student at 糖心Vlog传媒 in a letter in memoriam: 鈥淚n the classroom, he had a soft-spoken but authoritative demeanor and an easy sense of humor. He always came to class armed with an impressive stack of books, into which he would delve to pick out just the right quote to illustrate his lectures. He treated all students respectfully and seemed genuinely interested in them.鈥听
Shull obtained his bachelor’s degree from Manchester College, a Master of Divinity degree from Yale University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Shull鈥檚 full obituary and online tribute wall can be found .听
