David DuVivier ’32

DAVE DUVIVIER DIED of a heart ailment May 7, 1994, at Princeton Medical Center. Dave combined a distinguished career in law with a lifelong interest and involvement in art and architecture-his major at college. He got an M.F.A. at Harvard, then at­tended Harvard and Columbia law schools, and got his LL.B. After serving as a law clerk in N.Y.C., Dave became assistant corporate counsel for the city. From 1942-49, except for the war period, he was assistant D.A. of New York County. Then he joined the N.Y.C. firm of Reynolds, Richards, McCutcheon and Ely. From 1956-61, Dave was attorney-in-chief for the Legal Aid Society in N.Y.C., then joined Coudert Brothers in Paris as a partner.

In WWII, Dave was commissioned a 2nd lieu­tenant in the army air forces, served as an instruc­tor in the Air Intelligence School, and then became a combat intelligence officer in the Pacific (for which he was awarded the Air Medal with an oak-leaf cluster).

In 1969, he retired from the law, and conducted four years of research in French Renaissance art in London, Oxford, and Paris. Returning to Princeton in 1973, Dave continued his intellectual interests through involvement with the university library and the Institute for Advanced Study.

Dave is survived by his widow, Georgine Hall; daughter Tracy Gary; son Jerome Gary; and two brothers. We sympathize with them in the loss of one who led such a full and productive life.
