SRI K. CHANDRASEKHARAN It is with a deep sense of sorrow that we record the death of Mr. K. Chandrasekharan in Madras on 28 August, 1988, at the age of
84. Mr. Chandrasekharan was not only a member of the Advisory Board of Triveni almost from its inception in 1928, but a valuable member of the Triveni family as it were. He was a personal friend of its founder-颅editor, the late Mr. K. Ramakotiswara Rau, with whom he had a close rapport. Like the other members of his family, especially his elder brother, the late K. Bala颅subramania Aiyer, and his sister Srimati K. Savitri Ammal, he was deeply interested in the welfare and progress of the Triveni, which has been the result of a labour of love on the part of all those involved in its existence and survival all these sixty years. The absence of Mr. Chandrasekharan will be felt all the more sharply, at a time, when the Triveni quarterly is preparing to celebrate its Diamond Jubilee. He had not only been a regular reviewer, respected for his aesthetic sensibility, intellectual integrity, objectivity of outlook, maturity of judgment, and sense of restraint, but had always been looked up to as a father-figure, who was a source of comfort and confidence to those res颅ponsible for the conduct of the periodical. The place occupied by Mr. Chandrasekharan in the cultural life of Madras, as a man of letters, as a lover of arts, as a connoisseur of music, as an elder states颅man in a civilized society, will remain vacant for a long time to come. But the void created by his exit in the heart of the Triveni is impossible to fill. Editors, 鈥淭riveni鈥�
