R. Kenneth Fairman ’34

KEN FAIRMAN, Princeton's director of athletics for 32 years and one of the most prominent members of our class, died Mar. 8, 1994, following a stroke. As an undergraduate, he won eight varsity letters, in basketball (which he captained in senior year), football (as an end on Art Lane's undefeated team of 1933), and lacrosse (he later became president of the U.S. Lacrosse Assn.). He won the Poe Cup as the foremost athlete in the class and was voted by his classmates "handsomest" with the "best build."

He was class president from 197984 and winner in 1973 of our Award for Outstanding Achievement. He oversaw the design and construction of Jadwin Gym, which was completed in 1969 and acclaimed as a model allpurpose gym and university auditorium. His portrait now hangs in Jadwin beside a plaque citing him as "an architect of the Ivy Group Agreement," which exemplified "the finest tradition of amateur athletics closely linked to the educational process."

Surviving are his wife of 58 years, Adra (Armitage), a son, Hugh S. '58; a daughter, Lisa (Mrs. John R.) Heber; a sister, Claris Schwing, and three grandchildren. To them, we offer our sincere sympathies.
