During WWII, Gates served with the Philadelphia interceptor command. In 1950, he took a leave of absence from Drexel & Co, becoming deputy director for administration of the C.I.A. in Washington under Allen W. Duties. After retiring from the C.I.A. in 1964, he became chairman of The Contributorship, a Philadelphia mutual insurance corporation.

Gates served several terms as president and as reunion chairman of our class. His brother Richard W. Lloyd '26, predeceased him, but he is survived by sons H. Gates Lloyd III '50 and Wingate Lloyd '53; two daughters, Mary Robb and Prudence Rosenthal; 18 grandchildren; and 12 greatgrandchildren.

To them, the class extends deep sympathy in the loss of one its most outstanding classmates.
