Marc Haas ’29

MARC DIED July 9, 1990, at his home in Burgenstock, Switzerland. He also had a home in N.Y.C.

Marc left Princeton in 1927 and went immediately into the investment banking business, first with Newburger, Henderson & Loeb, then with Emmanuel & Co. and, after the war, with Allen & Co. In 1955 he formed American Diversified Services, an international venture capital conglomerate, and he also headed American Transportation Enterprises, providing bus transportation in 14 large cities. He was a senior warden of St. Bartholomew's Church in N.Y., and was a member of the Long Island Country Club and the Belair Country Club in Calif.

He was an ardent collector, especially of stamps and antique silver, and his greatest fame in that field came when he sold his stamp collection for $11 million to a London dealer. In 1929 Marc married Mildred Arndt, and in 1951 Helen Hotze, who survives, as does Marc's son Arthur. The Class extends sincere sympathy to Marc's family.
