Goodman left UH in the summer of 1994 after 25 years to become arts and sciences dean at Vanderbilt University. Chancellor Joe B. Wyatt said Goodman fought the cancer "with the same determination and spirit with which she approached her life's work."

"Her death leaves a large void in our university community and beyond," Wyatt said.

Goodman died yesterday afternoon at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

UH Engineering Dean Paul C. Yuen said her passing is a great loss not only to Vanderbilt but to UH as well. Yuen said Goodman had a keen mind and was an able administrator who wanted to help people.

"She always asked, 'What's the problem, what's wrong, and how can we best solve the problem so that everyone will be satisfied?' " he said. "She left an imprint here."

A New York City native, Goodman began her career as a UH assistant professor in general science and women's studies in 1974.

In 1978, she help create the women's studies program and served as its director for seven years. She also helped revise UH's sexual harassment policy as well as a new affirmative action plan for the Manoa campus.

In 1986, after a year as a full professor, Goodman was named assistant vice president for academic affairs. From 1992-93, she served as as interim senior vice president.

A past president of the UH faculty senate, Goodman led the creation of several schools, programs and institutes, including the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology. "She literally grew into every opportunity given her to serve the university," said sociology Professor Kiyoshi Ikeda, senate co-chairman.

Goodman, who served on the graduate faculty at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, was a noted author and lecturer who twice received National Science Foundation grants. She earned her zoology degree from Barnard College at Columbia University in 1967 and her genetics doctorate from UH in 1973.

She is survived by her husband, Lenn Goodman, a philosophy professor at Vanderbilt; daughters Allegra Goodman and Dr. Paula Fraenkel; brother Bertram Schwarzbach; and two grandchildren. Burial will be tomorrow in Nashville, Tenn. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Madeleine Joyce Goodman Fund for the Vanderbilt Arts Center, 201 Alumni Hall, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. 37240.
