George F. Whitney ’31

GEORGE FREDERIC WHITNEY of Ft. Washington, Penn., died Oct. 2, 1994. At Kent, where he was postmaster for students, and at Germantown Friends School, he played football, hockey, basketball, and ended up captain of baseball. Being an honor student at Princeton did not prevent his earning a letter in track. He belonged to the Varsity Club, Officers' Club, St. Paul Society, and Colonial Club.

In business, he became v.p. and manager of the Philadelphia office of Scudder, Stevens & Clark. He also served as a manager of Philadelphia Hospital, as a trustee of Westminster School, and as a board member of the Liberty Co. of Philadelphia. He was a member of the Princeton Club. the Philadelphia Club, and the Rittenhouse and Sunnybrook Clubs, yet found time for golf, gardening, and travel with his wife, Carol. An Episcopalian, he served as a warden and vestryman.

George and Carol have two daughters, Anne W. Clements and Jean W. Yost. A son, George F. Jr. '67, died as a freshman in Princeton. George's brother W. Beaumont was in the Class of '19. There were two other brothers, two sisters, and four grandchildren, plus a number of Carol's relatives. Jacob Riegel '88 was his uncle.

George will be sorely missed by the individuals and organizations he has helped, and particularly by his classmates. The class extends sincere sympathy to all the family.
