Milton N. Allen ’48

Mole was the first president of the Class of 1948, elected in our freshman year of 1944-45. He then transferred to the Naval Academy and, after graduation in 1949, was on active duty as a submarine officer until 1954. He never lost his loyalty to our class and to Princeton. His hometown was Teaneck, N.J.

In his subsequent varied business career he was an owner, an executive, and a management consultant to a variety of business and community enterprises — detailed in his entry in our 50th-reunion book. The Allen family home was in Old Lyme, Conn. He and his first wife, Barbara, were the parents of children Peter ’79, Thomas ’82, and Jane. They had two grandchildren.

His second wife, Liesa, predeceased him. In the reunion book he wrote, “I cherish Princeton’s continuing values and the strength to face diversity … I cherish Princeton’s magic and mystique to draw the best from everyone.” He died May 29, 2019, soon after his 92nd birthday.
