Herbert J. Schulman ’49

Herbert Schulman died Jan. 7, 2012, from complications after a fall.

Herb was born May 23, 1928, in New York City, and came to Princeton from the High School of Science. He majored in chemistry and was a member of Whig-Clio, the debating team, and the Chess Club. He lived four years in Edwards Hall, and as an undergraduate he worked on the parking squad and as a waiter, a file clerk, and a tutor.

He then began a career in medicine, graduating from SUNY Downstate Medical Center in 1953. He practiced psychiatry for 50 years in New York City. He was a fellow in the American College of Psychoanalysis, taught at New York Medical College, and was a training supervisor in the Westchester Institute for Human Development.

Herb liked to play bridge, stay physically fit, and write poetry. He is survived by his loving wife, Phyllis; their children, Andrew R. and Edward M. ’85; and five grandchildren. The sympathies of the class are extended to them all on their loss of this hardworking and dedicated man.
