Richard E. Low ’49

Dick died Jan. 15, 2003; he was 74. He prepared for Princeton at Forest Hills HS. At Princeton he majored in history and graduated summa cum laude. Dick was research editor of the Hallmark, president of the National Affairs Club, and a member of the governing council of Whig-Clio.

After graduation, Dick received a PhD in economics from Harvard and a law degree from NYU. He worked in the foreign policy department of the US Chamber of Commerce. He then served on the faculty at Penn State and Rutgers, and in the 1970s he joined the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research, where he stayed for the next 21 years. He was handicapped by poor health for most of his working life. He retired from the U. of Wellington in the late 1990s, and spent his last years in Pawtucket, R.I.

Dick never married. He is survived by one brother, Yehuda Lev, of Providence, R.I., to whom we extend our deep sympathies.
