Charles Edgar Lane ’31

EDGAR LANE was not given long to enjoy his move to a retirement community at Foulkeways, Gwynedd, Penn. He died on Aug. 2, 1989. Ed earned his undergraduate degree with election to Phi Beta Kappa and continued as a graduate student to receive his master of fine arts degree in architecture in 1933. As an undergraduate, he won the Bernard White Prize in Architecture junior year.

After leaving Princeton, he led a distinguished double life as a banker and an architect. In the former role, he was an appraiser in the Union Square Savings Bank in New York, and, in his second capacity, he practiced architecture, chiefly designing churches and public buildings. He was a fellow of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, a member of the N.Y. Real Estate Board, and a registered architect in the state of New York.

In several trips abroad to see various types of architecture, Ed and his wife visited all the countries of Europe except Russia and Scandinavia. They also covered most of the United States.

Ed is survived by his widow, Irene; a son, Charles E.; a daughter, Mary-Elizabeth Kempf; five grandchildren; and a sister, Barbara Morrisroe of California. We express our sincere sorrow to them all.
