Harvey Norman Lothringer ’41

Body

Harvey died May 22, 2006, in his home in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y. The youngest member of our class, he had hoped to attend our 65th reunion.

He prepared at the Richmond Hill School in New York City. At Princeton, he majored in biology, was on the dean's list, and received departmental second group honors.

A member of Gateway Club, Harvey participated in crew, track, ski club, yacht club, and the Cane Spree. A notable accomplishment was that Harvey was one of the few who managed to take the clapper from the clock on Nassau Hall, thereby earning the nickname "Clapper." He later donated the stolen clapper to the University archives.

Harvey earned a medical degree from New York University Medical School in 1944, and then served as a captain in the Army until 1947.

After retiring from the active practice of medicine, he was proud to attend the graduation of his daughter, Lorraine, from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons on May 17.

He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Yvonne; their daughter, Lorraine; his children from his former marriage, Wendy and Jon; and four grandchildren.
