John Hewlett Fawcett ’21
JOHN HEWLETT FAWCETT, a longtime resident of Berkeley, Calif., died Oct. 16, 1990, at the age of 9 1. He prepared for college at Donaldson School, where he was on die football and track teams. At Princeton he roomed alone in Edwards, Reunion and Hamilton Halls. He was V.P. of the St. Paul's Society and a member of Clio Hall.
After trying out a few fields he settled for a career in education. He received an MA. from the Univ. of Washington and a Ph.D. from the Univ. of California, where he taught romance languages for many years.
As a loyal and hardworking alumnus, he was, at one time, on the Reunion Committee, the Class Council, and chairman of District XII. He had been secretary of the Princeton Club of Seattle and of San Francisco.
He is survived by his widow, Helen; a daughter Grace; a son John C.; and four grandchildren. To them all the Class extends sincere sympathy.
