Donald Robert McLean ’27

DON, WHO DIED Aug. 9, 1990, inherited a long Princeton tradition. His greatgreat grandfather, Samuel Finley, was president, 176166, when Princeton was the College of New Jersey. His greatgreatgranduncle, John Maclean Jr., was president, 185368. Academic life did not appeal to Don, who left the campus in 1925. After some years of business in Detroit, he found his congenial life work with Cleveland's Stouffer Food Corp., restaurateurs. He served in charge of operations, especially expansion and the building program.

Don led an immensely active life apart from business. He married Louise Orr (Iowa State College '37), raised two sons, Robert Bruce and William Douglas McLean, and found time (one wonders how) to play golf and tennis, enjoy swimming, frequent several clubs, and attend chamber of commerce meetings.

For years, Don visited Princeton every fall to attend conferences of the industrial relations section of the Graduate School. He was active in community affairs and a devoted member of the Congregational church in Cleveland's suburban Shaker Heights.

To Don's family his classmates send their most sympathetic greetings.
