James Tureaud Wallis ’51

Jim died in Scarborough, Maine, July 6, 2002. He prepared for Princeton at the Millbrook School and entered with the Class of '51, but was called to active duty during the Korean War and graduated with the Class of '53. He was a history major, a member of Cap and Gown, an editor of the Daily Princetonian, and roomed with Woozy Supplee senior year.

Jim's entire career was spent in NYC with J. P. Morgan & Co., which became Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. in the 1959 merger. He rose to vice president of corporate giving, and was particularly active in corporate gifts to educational institutions and to the arts. Outside work he was on a number of boards — Cap and Gown, Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, Millbrook School, New York Botanical Garden, and the Maine Coast Heritage Trust. It was the last for which he had the greatest passion, preserving islands and areas along Maine's coast.

Jim was single and left three brothers, George '53, John '57, and Robert, and a nephew, Philip '81. They have our sympathy.
