Bennett, vice chancellor emeritus of academic affairs and professor emeritus of physiology at the University of California at San Francisco, died Saturday after a long illness. He was 86.

He received a doctorate in anatomy from Berkeley in 1937. In 1940, he graduated from the UCSF School of Medicine. After completing an internship and residency, he joined the university faculty in 1942. He became chairman in 1953 of the school's department of physiology, then in Berkeley, and helped plan a building that would consolidate the medical school on the San Francisco campus. He was given the prestigious endowed position of Herzstein professor of biology. Dr. Bennett became vice chancellor of academic affairs in 1966, serving in that position until 1977. He was a longtime Albany resident and served on the school board there in 1952-60. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy N. Bennett, two children, John L. Bennett of Vallejo and Mary Elizabeth Rein of Takoma Park, Md.; and two grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are being made by the Neptune Society.
