George Rockwell Smith ’35

George Smith died Dec. 4, 1996. He was 83. He was born on Long Island and lived in NYC. His prep school education was at St. Paul's School in Concord, N.H. At Princeton he rowed on the freshman crew and played varsity squash. He majored in history and was president of Quadrangle Club.

After graduation he taught at St. Paul's and for many years was head of the math department. He retired from the classroom, which he loved, in 1978. For two academic years, he and his wife ran study-abroad programs in Hanover, Germany, and Rennes, France.

George and Nancy Downes, a Barnard graduate, were married in 1939. They had three children, Alice Victor, Marion, and Peter. They also leave four grandchildren. After his retirement and after Nancy's death a few years ago, George moved to Warren, Conn., to pursue community activities and his hobbies of tennis and squash. We send sincere condolences to the family.
