George Pitts Raleigh ’45

PITTS RALEIGH died Dec. 24, 1990. Pitts entered Princeton from the Gilman School, was a member of Terrace Club, and, as was the case with most of his classmates, had his Princeton career interrupted by service in WWII. With the Courier Service of the State Dept., he was headquartered in London for two years,

Following the war, Pitts returned to the academic world, where he remained for the rest of his career. He received an M.A. in history from Johns Hopkins in 1951, then served Lake Erie College for Women as an admissions director and taught locally in Baltimore, achieving tenure at the Univ. of Baltimore,

Pitts was fascinated by 18th century music, particularly the music of Mozart. He was a voracious reader with a catholic appetite. His friends found him amusing and genial and a lighthearted companion.

The Class extends its sympathy to his brothers Alfred '48 and Richard.
