Lammot du Pont Copeland (May 19, 1905 – July 1, 1983) was an American businessman. His parents were Charles Copeland (March 30, 1867 in Englewood, New Jersey – February 3, 1944) and Louisa d'Andelot du Pont (January 25, 1868 in New Castle County, Delaware – August 10, 1926), who were married on February 16, 1904, at St. Amour in Wilmington, Delaware.

Life and career

Copeland was the great-great-grandson of DuPont's founder, Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, and he served as the company’s 11th president from 1962 to 1967. He appeared on the cover of TIME magazine on November 27, 1964.[1]

He married Pamela Cunnigham (May 5, 1906 – January 25, 2001) on February 1, 1930, at Litchfield, Connecticut. She was the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Seymour Cunningham of Litchfield. The Copelands had three children: Bouchaine Vineyards winery owner Gerret van Sweringen Copeland, Lammot du Pont Copeland Jr., and daughter Louisa du Pont Copeland, who married James Biddle.

In 1962, Copeland established the Andelot Fellowships at the University of Delaware. Together with Hugh Moore and William Henry Draper Jr., Copeland founded the Population Crisis Committee in 1965 (now "Population Action International") as a lobbying organization for government involvement in population control. Copeland also had his portrait painted by artist Salvador Dalí.
