Harvey came to us from Abraham Lincoln High School. At Princeton, he majored at SPIA and ate at Prospect. He worked at The Tiger, was chair of the student cabinet at Hillel Foundation, and worked at WPRU. He roomed with Louis Scian and Ralph Simon.

Harvey went on to study at Lincoln College, Oxford, then earned a master’s degree and Ph.D. at Harvard. His first teaching job was at Princeton in the politics department; then he went on to 45 years with the faculty of Haverford College. Ever well spoken (see his essay in The Book of Our History), he was a regular at the Philadelphia lunch gatherings of the class and was on the executive committee.

Harvey died April 4, 2022. He is survived by his children, Lisa, Nina, and Peter. To them, the class sends its sympathies upon the loss of their brilliant father.
