Karl G. Harr Jr. ’44

Karl died Mar. 5, 2002, after a life of distinguished service to Princeton. He came from Columbia High and involved himself in every aspect of college life: he played on the varsity football team, worked with Orange Key, served as vice-president of Cottage Club, and was chair of the undergraduate council. He majored in politics; his roommates included B. Hallett and R. Semmes. For seven years he was president of our class.

In 1943, Karl was commissioned in the field artillery, discharged as captain. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1948, and then went on to a PhD at Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. He was with the New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell.

He married Patricia in 1947. Karl became a trade association executive in DC, residing in Chevy Chase at the time of his death. He was active with Freedom House and Experiment in International Living; he served as an alumni trustee of Princeton for two terms.

To his wife and family —sons Timothy '72 and Karl III, daughters Catherine Anne '78 and Amy, and his grandchildren — his classmates express their most sincere regrets.
