Charles L. Tutt Jr. ’33

CHARLEY TUTT, probably the most distinguished engineer in the Class of '33, died Nov. 3, 1933, in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Charley was born Jan. 16, 1911, in Coronado, Calif., and also lived in Colorado Springs. He prepared at the Thacher School. In college, he was on the fencing team and a member of Charter. He roomed with Bob Frost, and later with his brother Russell. Charley spent most of his career with General Motors in Flint, Mich., at first with Buick, and later with the General Motors Institute, of which he became dean of engineering. In the 1940s, he spent several years on the engineering faculty of Princeton. After retirement, he moved to Colorado Springs.

Charley was very active in the engineering profession, serving as president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He received an honorary doctorate from Norwich Univ., of which he was a trustee.

Charley was active in civic affairs, and was an avid fisherman and hobbyist, making jigsaw puzzles and tying trout flies.

In 1933, Charley married Pauline Barbara Shaffer. They had two sons, Charles IV, and William Bullard, who survive. Barbara died in 198 1. In 1982, Charley married Mildred Dailey LeMieux. She survives, as do his two stepdaughters, Linda and Leslie LeMieux. Charley's brother Russell '35, died a few years ago, but his brother John survives.

To Mili and all the family the Class of '33 extends its sympathy.
