Julian Drake Taylor ’33

Body

Julian died Feb. 20, 1996, at St. Anthony Hospital in Michigan City, Ind. He was 88.

In our 20th-reunion book, he reported that he had left college early for a job with the Tropical Coconut Co. and that he had gone back to school at New Jersey State Teachers College, where he received his BS in education in 1934. At the time of his death he was a retired associate executive with the Presbyterian Synod of New Jersey. He had served in executive positions with the Boy Scouts in New Jersey, Ohio, and Virginia.

Julian is survived by two daughters, Julia Ann Wilkinson and Adrienne TaylorGibson, four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Mrs. Wilkinson writes, "Although he only attended Princeton for a short time, my father was very proud of his 'Princeton connection', read his magazine eagerly, and often told stories of his professors and classmates at Princeton."
