Armin Klein ’49

Armin Klein died Nov. 15, 2011, at his home in Rochester, N.Y.

Armin was born May 1, 1928, in Boston and came to Princeton from Newton (Mass.) High School. He majored in psychology, sang with the Glee Club, was assistant circulation manager of The Daily Princetonian, and belonged to Key and Seal Club.

He earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Teachers College of Columbia University in 1956. In 1957 he joined the faculty of the University of Rochester, became chief psychologist for the Convalescent Hospital for Children, and established a private practice in psychotherapy that he maintained with great distinction for several decades.

Armin loved and supported classical music, was a published poet, played the piano, and enjoyed hiking with his children.

This multifaceted man is survived by his wife, Grace Harlow Klein; his children and stepchildren, Cindy, John, Lisa, Meg, Shakati, and Thomas; and several grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to them all.
