Oren T. Pollock *51

Oren Pollock, a dedicated Princeton alumnus and retired assistant treasurer of Sears, Roebuck & Co., died Nov. 2, 2018. He was 91.

Pollock graduated in 1949 from Williams College. That year he received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for future college teachers. In 1951 he earned a master’s degree in classics from Princeton. Four years of Navy service, marriage to Elizabeth, and children changed his plans for an academic career.

In 1955 he began an almost-30-year career at Sears, the last 20 in the treasurer’s office, from which he retired in 1985 as an assistant treasurer. He had earned an MBA from Northwestern in 1963. In 1993 he first joined the Princeton Alumni Council, where he chaired its committee on community service and was a member of the executive committee and the University’s 250th anniversary standing committee plus others.

From 1997 to 2003 Pollock was an APGA board member, and for years he headed its Annual Giving campaign, to which he was a generous donor for 55 years. He also had been very active in several nonprofit community activities.

Pollock is survived by three children. He was predeceased by his second wife, Anita, and one son, Charles.
