Postwar, Dan graduated from Yale Law School. Cofounding the firm Lieblich and Cole, he practiced corporate law for many years in Paterson. In 1957 he established and was CEO of a public hospitality corporation, which became Treadway Companies, and later served as chairman of its board. In 1983, Dan was elected president of '38. He also served from 1991-96 as president of the Princeton Club of New York.

Dan's wife, the former Manette Neuman, predeceased him in 2002. He is survived by two daughters, Nancy Bracken Garson and Lynn Jeffery, five grandchildren, and two sisters, to all of whom the class extends deep sympathy.
