Evan Bush reports on the Class's presence:

It was good to go back to Reunions once again. Attending Reunions were Charlie Barber; Roger Barth; Bob and Chris Briggs.; Evan Bush; Fred Hafetz, Ren Keller and his daughter Sarah ’03; Rich and Vicki McGlynn; Skip and Ginger Meishlan; Andy and Deborah Prindl, Bill Roberts and Mary Gedney; Bob and Ellen Seabring; Ross and Lucia Santy; and Bob and Rowann Villency. We had a delightful lunch in the beautiful library at Prospect House where Charlie Barber sang The Ash Grove, a lovely song about the sorrowful but fond memories of lost friends before we sang Old Nassau and cheered the University and the Class. This year we had enough people stay to enjoy a dinner together Saturday at the Nassau Club.

Evan Bush has announced preliminary plans for Reunions 2022:

Thank you [in advance] for letting me know your Reunion plans. At present there are approximately 15 classmates who will be coming back. Based on that we have made arrangements for lunch Saturday at noon at Prospect House. I will have more information about the lunch and cost later. Prospect House is on campus near the chapel and was formerly the president's home.

We will be the guests of the Class of 1962 and there will be no cost for attending their events. However, their dinners for Friday and Saturday are closed events and we will need to plan dinner events for those who are coming for the full weekend. Accordingly, I need to know if you are planning to be at Princeton on Friday and Saturday.

Contact Evan at evanbush38@gmail.com or (302) 841-3074 with your plans.

The 2021 Sachs Scholars have been announced: Aisha Tahir ’21, Jimin Kang ’21, and Hannah Duffus from Worcester College, Oxford. As usual, the Scholars have jaw-dropping accomplishments already and even bigger plans for the future.

From the announcement email: “Aisha plans to take her mighty pen and journalistic ambitions to South Asia, where she will report on multi-generational feminism before heading off for formal study at SOAS in London. . . . She is, among many other things, one of the very few Muslim students in the world ever to have interned for the Jewish Daily Forward. . . .

Jimin . . . promises to combine an extraordinary talent for journalism with a passion for the environment. As our Worcester Scholar, she proposes to pursue master’s degrees in both comparative literature and environmental management. An academic superstar with a clutch of prizes to her name, Jimin has been a campus leader through both her service work and her journalism. She also happens to be both a championship debater and a championship belly dancer. . . .

Hannah Duffus, a graduate of Monash University in Australia and currently a Provost’s Scholar at Worcester, will explore wildfire literatures of the American West as a student of the environmental humanities at the Princeton Graduate School. . . .She knows more about supervising a blueberry farm than the rest of us put together.”

2019-20

The class of 1961 will be holding a Zoom conversation between Anne-Marie Slaughter '80 (Sachs Scholar, former dean of the Woodrow Wilson School, and important State Department employee) and John M. Cooper '61, (biographer of Woodrow Wilson), to be moderated by TV host Jim Zirin '61, at 4:00 pm ET on Tuesday, September 8, on the subject of the removal of Wilson's name from the Woodrow Wilson School and Wilson College. They have extended an invitation to 1960 (and 1962) to join the discussion and the following Q&A session.

The program is described as follows:

On June 26th last, Princeton's Board of Trustees, citing Woodrow Wilson's racism, took the decision to remove Wilson's name from the School of Public and International Affairs and its residential college. The decision came just one month after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police.

President Christopher Eisgruber called the decision "wrenching but right." He said that "Princeton was part of an America that has too often disregarded and turned a blind eye to racism."

Wilson has had a special relationship to Princeton, and had many considerable accomplishments. He was one of two alumni to become President of the United States; the other was James Madison, who gave us the Constitution and Madison Hall, but happened to own slaves. Wilson was a progressive and an internationalist. He won the Nobel Peace Prize, and appointed Louis D. Brandeis, the first Jewish justice, to the Supreme Court. As Princeton's president, he gave us the preceptorial system, the first Catholic faculty member, and our watchword "Princeton in the nation's service."

But Princeton had not turned a "blind eye" to Wilson's racism. Just five years ago, after a group of students occupied his office, Eisgruber appointed a blue-ribbon panel to consider the issue of Princeton's use of Woodrow Wilson's name. The panel recommended certain reforms: among other things, to recount the history of Wilson's racism more honestly, but to leave Wilson's name on its renowned public policy school and residential college. The Board accepted the recommendation, a decision with which Eisgruber said he "strongly agreed." So what led the University to change course?

Class members who wish to participate should click here and follow the instructions to sign up.

The Zoom link will be sent to those who have signed up shortly before the date of the conversation.

[Sue Pierson] Part of the business at the Class's Virtual Class Meeting (see the next item) was to make Sue Pierson, Director of Residential Dining, an honorary member of the Class. She had shortly before that meeting received an Award for Service to Princeton from the Alumni Council. That award was written up on page 9 of the PAW for June/July 2020, and also here .
29 June 2020

The Class's Virtual Class Meeting, replacing what would have taken place during Reunions, was held via Zoom on 6 June 2020, with good attendance and a high level of satisfaction all around, despite the somewhat difficult conditions. Dick Grieves's minutes (in downloadable pdf format) are here .
9 June 2020

Lawrence Davis writes as follows: “I’ve just finished writing and publishing a novel based on my great-grandfather’s life during and after the civil war. He had to walk a path between his antislavery family and the confederate draft law which set him on a journey he never expected as a P.O.W. in the notorious Camp Douglas prison in Chicago. After the war he lacks funds to marry his sweetheart and asks her to wait for him not less than three years, no more than five years to allow him to go to California to earn money. After a journey to home, family, and peace, his life demonstrated that hardships can be overcome and a successful life achieved. The Life and Times of Jim Henery Shore is available at amazon.com. I hope readers will enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.”

The 2019 Sachs Scholars have been announced; they are Tylor-Maria Johnson and Emily Geyman, along with Molly Daunt who will be coming to Princeton from Worcester College, Oxford. The University's announcement is here . Here is biographical information provided by the Sachs Scholarship Comittee:

[Tylor-Maria Johnson] Tylor-Maria Johnson, of Brooklyn, New York, is a senior in the Sociology Department and is completing certificates in African American Studies and American Studies. At Oxford, Tylor-Maria will read for the MSc in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies and a MSc in Evidence Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation in preparation for a future in law and community advocacy. Her desire to pursue a career in this field has been shaped by transformative internships at the Harlem Community Justice Center, the European Roma Rights Centre, and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights -- the last of these as a 2018 Scholar in the Nation’s Service (SINSI). On campus, Tylor-Maria has established herself as a community builder, not only as president of the Black Student Union and president of the Princeton University Gospel Ensemble but as a Residential College Adviser at Whitman College. A proud alumna of the Freshman Scholars Institute, Tylor-Maria is an active participant and leader in the Scholars Institute Fellows Program, which supports first-generation and/or low-income (FLI) students.

[Emily Geyman] Emily Geyman ’19, of Seattle, Washington, is a senior in the Geosciences Department and will use her Global Scholarship to pursue a year-long study in glaciology and permafrost research in Arctic Norway to better understand the role of ice in climate change. She plans to pursue an academic career in Earth Science with a commitment to improve communication to the public concerning climate conditions. A champion of the integrated sciences curriculum and a teaching assistant for three undergraduate courses in the Geosciences Department, Emily has served the Princeton community as a peer mentor and an engaged citizen of the sciences. Her academic accolades include the Benjamin F. Howell Class of 1913 Junior Prize and the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence. Outside the lab, Emily can be found leading Outdoor Action trips, working at the Climbing Wall as an instructor, and running in preparation for an ultra-marathon.

[Molly Daunt] Molly Daunt, of London, England, is in her final year at Worcester College, Oxford, where she is reading for a B.A. in Classics. At Princeton, Molly intends to study Classics as a Visiting Student in the Graduate School, with a particular interest in the Program in the Ancient World. Molly comes with significant experience on archeological digs in Turkey and Sicily, where she was involved in the discovery of a Temple of Apollo. She has worked in the Ashmolean Museum as a Krasis Scholar and hopes to pursue a career in the curation and direction of museums. In her free time, Molly has served in crisis centers in Nairobi and Durban and has trekked solo through parts of Africa and the Middle East. She also plays on the Oxford University Tennis Team and is Captain of the Worcester Tennis Team.

2017-18 Annual Giving results are in, and the Class has done very well. We had 339 donors from a Class roll of 516, or 65.7% participation, and raised a total of $208,232. While that total is slightly behind 1959's, it is better than 1961's, and our participation rate is ahead of either of theirs. Special thanks to David Dodge and Rich McGlynn, Annual Giving co-chairs, and the section chairs for these outstanding results!

We have been once again, thanks in large part to Treasurer Bob Seabring’s efforts, quite successful at collecting Class dues. In the 1951-1967 (senior) group of Classes, we were in the top five in both numbers and percentages of participants. For our efforts, the University awarded us a prize of $200 (well, okay, it was part of the Dues Incentive Program, and they gave it to everybody, and they called it a reimbursement for expenses, but still....).

Alumni Day 2017 featured a luncheon with a modest turnout of classmates, McGlynn, Santy, Seabring, and Southwell, along with Lucia Santy and Ellen Seabring. Present as our guests were this year's two astonishingly accomplished Sachs Scholars, Shannon Osaka (left) and Becca Kerner (see more about them just below). The program featured others (seniors, graduate students, and alumni) with similar accomplishments, and produced feelings among us of awe and gratitude at being associated with a University like Princeton.

The luncheon was followed by the annual Service of Remembrance in the Chapel. Southwell represented the Class. The service memorialized those Class members whose deaths have become known over the past year:

The 2016 Sachs Scholars have been announced, and the field is expanding.

Holly Muir, a 2016 graduate of Worcester College in Fine Art, will be the first ever Sachs Scholar at Princeton from Worcester College. A dual British and New Zealand national with roots in rural Scotland, Holly comes with a First Class degree and an impressive record of accomplishment as a multidisciplinary artist. In between award-winning exhibitions at museums and festivals in London, Newcastle, and Oxford, she designs sets and costumes for the Royal Opera House and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her ambition is to expand her artistic vision by studying--and making--literature. She will spend her scholarship year as a Visiting Student in the Graduate School in the Department of English, and she also plans to get involved in creative writing and visual arts projects at the Lewis Center for the Arts.

[image of Becca Keener] The new Global Scholar, Becca Keener '17, of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, has concentrated her research on the accommodation of difference in the context of ethnic and religious diversity. She has been a Fellow in the Program on Religion, Diplomacy and International Relations, and she has taken her work out into the field in Israel, Jordan, and the United Kingdom. As Co-President of Princeton Against Sex Trafficking, she has pursued a partnership with Yazda, a Yazdi organization, to advocate on behalf of enslaved women in Iraq. In her senior thesis, she is tackling the issue of religious freedom in Syria. London seems to be just the right place for her to continue her work on challenges facing migrants and minorities, and at the London School of Economics she will pursue an MSc in Global Europe: Culture and Conflict.

[image of Shannon Osaka] Shannon Osaka '17 has dedicated her work to the proposition that climate change poses both a scientific and a social challenge for humanity. At Princeton she has accumulated academic awards and dauntingly high marks in both the natural sciences and the social sciences. At Oxford, she plans to pursue an MPhil in Nature, Society, and Environmental Governance. When she's not working to save the planet, she writes poetry, for which she has also received awards. On campus, she is the leader of both the Princeton Sustainable Investments Initiative and the Calendar Reform Project, for which she may some day count on the gratitude of future Princeton students, who will no longer have to return from winter holiday to take their final exams.

The first year's awards went to Luke Brahm '16 and Elisa Steele '17. A nice write-up with general information about John and his track career can be found here . The Class has already made a donation, and Andrew and Lauren would be pleased to accept any donations individual members of the Class might care to make to the Award.

2015-16

Evan Bush's innovation of a pre-P-rade luncheon on Reunions weekend has noticeably improved attendance at our off-year reunions. At the luncheon this year were Bromley, Detjens, Forcione, Harris, Jackson, Keller, McGlynn, Santy, Southwell, and Villency, some with spouses and/or friends. The luncheon featured spirited and moving discussions of both how we had happened to attend Princeton, and what at Princeton had had a particular effect on our lives.

The P-rade itself took place under swelteringly hot but still enjoyable and stimulating conditions, with most of the luncheon attendees, joined by others whose names have gotten misplaced. Signing in but never seen were Ev Bond, Hillegass, Howson, and Weiss. Credit for the first picture above is due to Tex Harris. The second is from PAW's slideshow, available here .

The University reports that we have done very well this year on Dues for what they (appropriately?) call Senior classes. 318 out of 557 active Class members, or 57.1%, have paid. This gives us the highest rate, by a noticeable margin, of any Class between 1955 and 1965. Congratulations to Treasurer Bob Seabring for his hard work in this respect (and others).

The psychic pain created by a disappointing game against Yale was eased somewhat by our annual post-game Class Cocktail Party in the library at Terrace Club. Attending were Beaver, Bush, Conway, Detjens, Hillegass, Joan Sachs Shaw, and Southwell. Reported to have been around, but not seen here, were Gargalli, Howson, Max, Santy, and probably a few others. Those who did not attend missed a wonderful variety of food, including spiced tofu, skate, chicken wings, salsa and guacamole, and sandwiches and wraps, along with lots of beer and wine, and good companionship. Photography credits: Vicki Beaver, Phyllis Conway, and Peggie Hillegass. Mack Emmert was there also but doesn’t get any credit for photography.

One of the driving forces behind the Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Scholarship was Prof. Charles Gillispie ’h60, who died on 6 October. Gillispie was Dan’s undergraduate mentor and served the Scholarship for over 50 years, in part by interviewing candidates. The University flew its flags at half staff in honor of Gillispie, and its news story about his death is here . That story includes a link to the Sachs Scholarship donation page on our Class website, which we encourage you to use at this time in Gillispie’s honor.

We're over 70% for the first time in four years, and let's hope we can maintain this pace as we move on toward our 60th. We are among those few Princeton Classes who have reached this mark.

2010-11

Nat Howe, the Class’s liaison to Annual Giving, provides the following final results for our efforts:

Final results for 1960�s 51st Reunion campaign are participation of 68.8% (413 donors) and $188,935. 68.8% is above the �60 final participation rates for 2006-07 (67.0%) and 2007-08 (68.1%). $189K is 13% above the $165,000 dollar goal, substantially above the $153,599 that was raised in the 49th (2008-09) and is the 3rd highest non major dollar result ever for 1960!

Overall Annual Giving (for all classes) raised $50,010,045 from 61.3% of alumni. Our goals were $49 million and 61% so these are strong results and �60�s campaign was an important contributor to our effort. Of particular note is that the youngest 5 classes (2006-2010) averaged 73.0% participation and the 1st reunion class (2010) had participation of 83.3%! 61.3% is the highest overall participation rate in the last 42 years.

The University was represented by both Paul Raeder ’h62, longtime Alumni Relations liaison, who had worked closely with Clif over many years, and his successor Nat Howe.

John Cartier, Class Treasurer, writes as follows about the Class’s dues collection:

The opening results for our first dues mailing this Fall has been very successful. We have received over 125 responses, including Class gifts and contributions to the Sachs Scholarship Fund. I am hoping that in this, our 50th year, we can do extremely well in terms of participation. My hope is to exceed the ber which would set a new record for participation and give us a strong balance for the Class treasury. An early response from everyone is very helpful.

Efforts for the 50th Reunion are underway and I encourage everyone to return your Registration forms as soon as possible. If anyone has any comments or questions about the Dues Appeal, please do not hesitate to call me at (212) 472-8177 or via email at JCartier@nyc.rr.com. The sooner you respond, the less expenses we will have to incur for additional mailings. Many, many thanks to all those who have already participated and to all those who will participate soon.

Virginia Maloney ’10 writes as follows:

My father, Clif Maloney, passed away last night [26 September 2009] at Base Camp 3 on Cho Oyu in his sleep. [His guide] Marty notified me this morning. Marty is safe and coming down the mountain... My dad's last words before going to sleep were “I’m the happiest man in the world. I’ve just summited a beautiful mountain.” We know that he died doing what he most enjoyed.

UPDATE At approximately 930am local time on 24 September, after a nine-hour climb in extreme cold, Clif summited Cho Oyu, the oldest [by four years] American ever to do so.

Clif Maloney is climbing again. As of this writing, he is camped at 22,000 feet on Cho Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world (8201 m/26906 ft high), on the border between Nepal and China. He is aiming at summiting on Wednesday 23 September. A complete recap will appear on the Wild and Crazy page when he is back.

We know that at least two classmates were at the Citadel game on 19 September 2009: (from left) Mike Hanford ’68, Beaver, Willard.

Our class enjoyed a relatively huge turnout at our 48th Reunion, due probably or possibly to Evan Bush's soliciting participation in an early meeting of the 50th Reunion Planning Committee, followed by a Class Lunch at the Nassau Club. Lunch featured a delicious tilapia entree and the presence of several wives, who toned down the occasional rowdiness of the preceding Reunion Planning Meeting. So many people wanted to attend that we were forced to move some into an overflow room. An incredible downpour at noon cleared up before 2pm, allowing a dry and festive P-Rade. Classmates seen somewhere included Becton, Barth, Beaver, Briggs, Bush, Conway, Detjens, Harris, Hopper, Keller, Kramer, Lippincott, McGlynn, Major, Maloney, Seabring, Southwell, Tellander, Williamson, Willard, and Wing, plus Joan Sachs Shaw, along with assorted spouses, partners, children, and even grandchildren.
Tex Harris took many pictures and has made them available here .

Alumni Day 2008, 23 February, was graced by the presence of five classmates: Philip Detjens, Clif Maloney, Mike Southwell, Dave Willard, and Tom Wing. Detjens represented the Class at the Annual Memorial Service, and writes as follows:

John Gartner reports on the Princeton Club of Sarasota/Manatee’s Holiday Brunch:

The Class of ’60 had a wonderful table at today’s PC of Sarasota/Manatee’s Holiday Brunch 
at the Sarasota Yacht Club. Enjoying reminescences and discussing how fortunate we all are to share 
what the Sarasota area has to offer were Hobart (Skip) and Janis Swan, Bill and Vivienne Lambrecht,

2006-07

Quenby Williamson, wife of our classmate Peter, died on 11 June 2007. Quenby was responsible for designing and producing our 30th Reunion costume, which we have used, with her help, ever since.
[It is Class policy to announce on the website deaths only of classmates, and then only by listing (as at the bottom of this page), leaving comments to the obituaries appearing in PAW. In this case, we have deliberately bypassed that policy.]

Eighteen members of the Class, plus Joan Sachs Shaw and various wives, attended Reunions 2007. More

Our Treasurer, John Cartier, writes soliciting increased support (both financial and otherwise) for the Class. The letter is here ; a PDF version is here .

The University has announced two recipients for Sachs scholarships from the Class of 2007: Joshua Goldsmith and Emily Stolzenberg. More

Our annual Class Dinner was held with the Class of 1961 on Monday, 5 March 2007, at 6pm at Racquet and Tennis Club in New York City. The featured speaker was Ann-Marie Slaughter ’80, Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School and a Sachs Scholar. She discussed the Princeton Project on National Security, a multi-year research project aimed at developing a new, bipartisan national security strategy for the United States.

Philip Detjens reports as follows on Alumni Day:

I was honored and privileged to represent the Class of 1960 at the Service of Remembrance 
held at the University Chapel in Princeton on Alumni Day on Feb. 24. This Service pays tribute 
to all members of the Princeton Community—alumni, students and faculty—who have 
died during 2006. Our Class had 15 classmates listed.

[See the list of recent deaths at the bottom of this page.]

For everyone's information there were only five people associated with our Class at Alumni weekend. 
They were Dick Deyo, Dave Willard, Even Bush, Joan Sachs Shaw and myself.

The 22 November 2006 issue of PAW contains a letter from Webster Wheelock attacking President Tilghman’s characterization of Princeton during President Goheen’s early years (which coincided with our years, admittedly relatively placid) as “a largely homogeneous college of modest aspirations.” His letter is here .

PAW recently profiled President Emeritus Robert Goheen here . An excerpt from a four-hour video interview is here .

Joe Healey, who left our class after Junior Year to go into the Maryknoll Missionary Priesthood, and since then has been in East Africa, was prompted by President Phil Becton’s letter this fall to write and reconnect with the class. You may read his email here .

The Tigers won (a share of) the Ivy League title at the Dartmouth game on 18 November. A random and surely incomplete list of those seen at the game is: Beaver, Becton (and wife Betsy), Bellows, Briggs, Deyo (and wife Kathy), Hilles (and wife Jane), Ippolito, Maloney (and wife Carolyn), McMillan, Southwell, Willard, along with Joan Sachs Shaw. [More]

The Harvard game on 23 October featured a pre-game “tailgate” at Jadwin (pictures below), a highly exciting game, and a post-game reception at Terrace Club. A total of 17 classmates were seen somewhere or other: Beaver, Bellows, Briggs, Carrick, Conway, Deyo, Friedman, Ippolito, Lippincott, Max, McMillan, Pearce, Southwell, Urbaniak, Willard, Williamson, and Wing, along with Joan Sachs Shaw.

John Hart Ely has died. Bob Blalock writes that John was “probably the most influential scholar of the US constitution of our time; certainly the most original thinker on the subject.
