Frank Clyde Carr Jr. ’44

Frank died of heart failure Feb. 7, 1996, in Yuma, Ariz. He came to Princeton from Phillips Andover Academy, received his degree in geology, was active in soccer and crew, and a member of the Westminster Society and Tiger Inn. During WWII, he served as a marine fighter pilot.

Frank began his career as midwest regional manager for the publisher Harcourt Brace. In 1969 he founded INROADS, Inc., a nonprofit organization preparing talented minorities for careers in business and engineering. It has grown to include 46 corporate affiliates with 900 clients sponsoring 5,800 college students. In 1983 he prepared for the priesthood at Milwaukee's Sacred Heart School of Theology and in 1986 became a Catholic priest, counseling his devoted Hispanic parishioners in and around Yuma.

Frank won our Bate Farnum award for his success with INROADS, Blackbook's humanitarian award for the career development of minorities, and was honored by the American Society of Training and Development.

This notable classmate expressed in his writings the philosophy, "make this world a better place because you have lived in it." And so he did.

To his three sons, Christopher, David, and Gregory, and his brother, John '46, the class extends its deepest sympathy in the loss of this devout and respected humanitarian.
