Louis Berger, a remarkable (although perhaps not well-known) member of the Class of 1949, died Aug.17, 2014, in Forsyth, Ga. His rich professional career spanned the fields of electrical engineering, music, physics, and clinical psychology.

Louis was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and came to the United States at some time around World War II. He came to Princeton in 1945 from Newtown High School in Elmhurst, N.Y., majored in electrical engineering, and graduated with honors in 1949. He earned a master of music degree from the University of Texas at Austin, a master’s degree in physics from Trinity University, and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Tennessee. Somewhere along the way he also played cello in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, although how he managed all these different disciplines is a mystery to us.

As a clinical psychologist, Louis had a long and distinguished career as a therapist, academician, and consultant. He wrote eight books on a variety of therapeutic subjects, plus one scheduled for publication shortly after his death.

Louis is survived by his wife, Andrea; stepson Matt Milllwood; and three nieces. We offer our sympathy to them on the passing of a remarkable man.
