John Todd Cowles ’34

A memorial for John Todd Cowles ’34 in the Nov. 5, 2003, issue of PAW misstated the length of his marriage to Toffee Lee Cowles, who survives him. The two were married on May 1, 2002.

Todd Cowles, former professor and consultant in psychological measurement and evaluation, and, since retirement in 1976, resident of his family homestead in his native Burlington, Vt., died Feb. 14, 2003.

"Hobbies," Todd once wrote, "have been a large part of my life with active participation and considerable study of the more exacting aspects of each." He played the piano, pipe organ, violin, and oboe; pursued photography, woodworking, and letterpress printing; edited two private journals; and did extensive mountain climbing.

He climbed Mt. Fujiyama at 54 and walked the Appalachian Trail at 63. "Yes," he said, "I am called a workaholic, but I enjoy it."
