Carl Breuer ’29

Carl died Oct. 21, 2000. He was 94. At Princeton, he played hockey and lacrosse. He was on the cabinet of the Philadelphian Society and was a member of Cloister Inn.

He was an independent thinker, as evidenced by the fact that he invented his own diving equipment and flew his own airplane when there were few of them around. His life was devoted to the Foreign Service, being one of 30 chosen out of 3,000 taking the entrance exams. His posts included Zurich, Haiti, Ottawa, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, and Trinidad.

At age 50, he took early retirement and moved back to Princeton, where he served as assistant secy. of the Graduate Council. He was active in local environmental affairs, such as the Herrontown Woods and Princeton Battlefield Preservation. For 20 years, he was a trustee of the American Institute for Economic Research.

He is survived by his wife, the former Catherine Macphail, a daughter, Anne Corson, a son, Dr. Anthony Breuer, a sister, Annie Reynolds, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. To all of them, the class extends its profound sympathy.
