Audley Clarke ’47

Audley died of brain cancer Apr. 8, 1996. A native of Brooklyn, he prepared for Princeton at St. Paul's School but did not enter Princeton until Feb. 1947. From 1943-46 he served with the Army Air Corps, with 14 months of duty in the Pacific as a navigator on a B29 bomber. At Princeton he majored in history and took his degree in 1949. He was an avid squash player and played on the varsity team for three years. He earned a law degeree from Harvard in 1952 and began practicing law in Boston. He then moved to the Chemical Products Corp. in East Providence, R.I., of which he became secretary and administrative assistant to the president. Later he became the president and owner of Glazed Products, Inc., in Trenton, N.J., and made his home in Lawrenceville.

Although active in the business world, he never abandoned the legal profession. Until a few weeks before his death he served as director in the legal management division of the New Jersey Dept. of Labor and Industry. In 195556 he was the amateur squash champion of Shock Island. He was also an ardent golfer.

Audley is survived by his sons, Jeremy, Reginald, and William, and his daughter, Kathryn Held. To them we extend our profound sympathy.
