HUGH DIED Sept. 14, 1994. He prepared at Phillips Exeter. At Princeton, he majored in biology and was a member of Tiger Inn. He was voted by our class as best all-around athlete. He played football all four years, on our great freshman and varsity squads, which lost only one game in his junior year. He also played four years of basketball and was captain his senior year. In 1940, he got his M.D. from Harvard.

During WWII, Hugh served three years as a surgeon in the Army Medical Corps in England, Africa, Italy, France, and Austria. He retired as a major. He was awarded the Bronze Star and seven battle stars.

He helped found the Colorado Outward Bound School and served 30 years on its board. He had lived in Denver since 1948, and volunteered for many community activities and was highly regarded as an excellent surgeon. He was a former president of the Colorado chapter of the American College of Surgery.

Hugh is survived by his widow, Lindsay Rand MacMillan, a noted painter, whom he married in Paris in 1945; daughters Lindsay MacMillan and Mrs. Edward McMillan; a son Hugh A. III; and three grandchildren. He was predeceased by son Edward Rand '76, who died in 1993. This talented and loyal Princetonian will indeed be missed.
