Barclay Morrison ’34

Barc Morrison, cited by his 1974 class award for outstanding achievement as a "distinguished professional engineer, accomplished amateur pilot, and effective leader in civic, church, and alumni affairs," died Jan. 16, 1996, at his home on Hilton Head Island, S.C. A retired executive of Carpenter Technology Corp. and director of Thatcher Furnace and NTH Corp. of California, he received a gubernatorial appointment to the Hilton Head Public Medical Commission and later was elected chairman. He was president and director of the local Audubon Society and in 1987 was a founding director of the Sea Pines Assn. The following year he wrote a 266page autobiography, Dust to Dust.

Barc is survived by his wife of 57 years, Pauline "Polly"; four daughters, Pauline, Elizabeth M. Baker, Barbara M. Missiras, and Carol M. Shiels '80; a sister, Carol Morrison, and eight grandchildren. A son, Barclay Jr., died last May in a building-construction accident. Barc was a loyal Princetonian and enthusiastic member of our class. He was our memorial insurance chairman from 195054, and a member of our class council from 197984.

To Polly and her family we offer our sincere sympathies.
