About Archie

Archie J. Bahm was Professor of Philosophy at the University of New Mexico, joining the faculty in 1948 and teaching until 1973, after which he became Professor Emeritus. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. A dedicated student and teacher of ethics for forty years, Bahm served as Acting Chair of the Department of Philosophy from 1954 to 1955 and again from 1964 to 1965. In 1949, he founded the UNM 21 Club to facilitate dialogue among faculty from the university's then-21 departments, a tradition that continues with distinguished scholars. That same year, he organized the Humanist Society of Albuquerque, which operated for several years before merging with the Unitarian Church. Bahm was organizer, past president, and past secretary-treasurer of the New Mexico Philosophical Society. He contributed to numerous committees promoting philosophical exchange and signed Humanist Manifesto II. In 1977, the American Humanist Association named him Humanist Pioneer of the Year.
