James Clark Streett Jr. ’36 *39

JIM DIED on June 28, 1989, in Ft. Worth, Tex., where he had lived for 48 years. He was born on Aug. 13, 1913, in St. Louis, Mo., and prepared at the John Burroughs School, in St. Louis. At Princeton, he majored in biology and was a member of Whig Hall and Dial Lodge. He also received his M.S. and Ph.D. from Princeton.

Jim retired in 1979 after having taught biology for 28 years at Texas Wesleyan College; he served as chairman of its science division from 1964 to 1979. Previously, he worked for two years at Swift and Co.'s plant in Ft. Worth. His first teaching post, at Texas Christian Univ., was interrupted by three years of service in the Air Force during WWII. He also taught for a short time at the Univ. of Mississippi. He received a prestigious award from Texas Wesleyan and wrote several articles that were published in scientific journals. Jim was a member of the American Assn. of University Professors, the Texas Academy of Science, and the North Texas Biological Society. His major hobbies were model railroading, reading, traveling, and opera.

Jim is survived by his widow, Frances; two daughters, Judith Ann Streett and Mary Marxer; two brothers, Rolla W. and J. Douglas; and two grandchildren. We did not see much of Jim over the years, but we know from his letters that he was loyal to Princeton and his class.
