Michel Bandry nous a quitt\u00e9s. Beaucoup de ceux qui l\u2019ont connu en seront surpris. Pendant deux ans, il s\u2019est battu avec un courage admirable contre l\u2019horrible maladie de Charcot. M\u00eame ceux qui, comme moi, ont pu suivre l\u2019\u00e9volution tr\u00e8s rapide de la maladie restent incr\u00e9dules devant cette disparition soudaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le parcours professionnel de Michel Bandry est exemplaire, d\u2019autant plus que contrairement \u00e0 tous ceux qui ont re\u00e7u le soutien de parents ais\u00e9s, il a d\u00fb se battre pied \u00e0 pied pour franchir les obstacles successifs qui l\u2019ont conduit du baccalaur\u00e9at (obtenu par le CNED, tout en travaillant comme surveillant d\u2019internat) au poste de professeur des universit\u00e9s, puis \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence du CAPES et \u00e0 celle du Comit\u00e9 Consultatif des Universit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Je connaissais Michel depuis plus de dix ans lorsqu\u2019en 1989, Daniel Royot, qui enseignait \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Paul-Val\u00e9ry de Montpellier, nous a propos\u00e9 de postuler ensemble aux deux postes de professeur qui \u00e9taient vacants : le sien (pour Michel), et celui de Claude Richard, r\u00e9cemment d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9, pour moi. Michel avait enseign\u00e9 successivement \u00e0 Aix-Marseille et \u00e0 Nice. Nous avons donc rejoint l\u2019UPV en m\u00eame temps, et\u00a0 nous avons travaill\u00e9 en parfaite harmonie, de 1989 \u00e0 2004, date de notre retraite commune, nous partageant les cours de litt\u00e9rature et de civilisation \u2014 partage facilit\u00e9 par nos sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9s respectives : le Sud pour lui, la Nouvelle-Angleterre pour moi. Michel a assez vite accept\u00e9 la responsabilit\u00e9 de l\u2019UFR 2, qu\u2019il a g\u00e9r\u00e9e avec autorit\u00e9, rigueur et\u00a0 humanit\u00e9 \u2014 trois qualit\u00e9s qui vont rarement de pair. Il a ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sident du jury de CAPES. Je n\u2019en ai pas \u00e9t\u00e9 membre, mais je sais par ceux qui l\u2019y ont second\u00e9 qu\u2019il y a manifest\u00e9 les m\u00eames qualit\u00e9s. Enfin, et surtout, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 vice-pr\u00e9sident, puis pr\u00e9sident de la 11\u00e8me section du CNU. J\u2019y ai \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 lorsqu\u2019il a acc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence, et ai donc pu constater, lors des premi\u00e8res r\u00e9unions, son talent de d\u00e9mineur : le climat \u00e9tait tendu, en raison d\u2019oppositions de tous ordres, et il est d\u2019embl\u00e9e parvenu \u00e0 imposer une autorit\u00e9 sereine, qui n\u2019aurait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 possible sans l\u2019estime qu\u2019il recevait de chacun. Je me souviens de la chaleur avec laquelle tous l\u2019ont remerci\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019issue de la derni\u00e8re session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nous ne nous sommes jamais perdus de vue, au cours des quinze derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Il s\u2019\u00e9tait habitu\u00e9 avec la m\u00eame facilit\u00e9 \u00e0 sa nouvelle vie. Il \u00e9tait en parfaite sant\u00e9 lorsqu\u2019il nous a fait part de son inqui\u00e9tude devant une perte de sa force musculaire. C\u2019\u00e9tait la maladie de Charcot, qui l\u2019a emport\u00e9 en deux ans, sans jamais lui faire perdre le self-control qui avait toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 sa qualit\u00e9 premi\u00e8re. J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 honor\u00e9 d\u2019\u00eatre son ami, et d\u2019avoir conserv\u00e9 son amiti\u00e9, jusqu\u2019au bout.
