Maurice Meyer Jr. ’31

Maurice died Feb. 19, 1997, in Elberon, N.J., where he served on the board of governors of the Jersey Shore Medical Center Foundation. Born in Newark, N.J., he came from Newark Academy to Princeton, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. During his last two years he roomed with Jerry Weinstein.

Maurice served with distinction in the field of finance as senior partner of Hirsch and Co., members of New York Stock Exchange, chairman of Texas Pacific Land Trust, and panel of American Arbitration Association.

Maurice was captain of the U.S. Tuna team-he and his late wife had set records that still stand. He also loved classical music and growing prize orchids. Princeton was his true intellectual interest-his financial contributions and his regular attendance at class functions testify to his commitment. Those fortunate to know Maurice will remember him for his smile, his welcome, and his quiet support. He will be missed.

Maurice's wife, Carolyn, predeceased him. He is survived by Maurice III, a daughter, Dorothy M. Purcell, six grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, to all of whom the class sends sympathy.
