Robert G. Bradshaw ’37

Bob died in Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 13, 2004, after a 55-year struggle with diabetes. He was 89.

Bob majored in art and archaeology, graduating with high honors, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He was the designer of our beer-suit insignia. He next earned a master's in fine arts with highest honors from Columbia University.

Bob was a distinguished lecturer and full professor of art and art history at Douglass College, Rutgers University. He also designed the Douglass College seal. His watercolors and acrylics were exhibited widely on the East Coast and won many prizes. He spent summers at Cape Ann, Mass., in the Rocky Neck Art Colony with his artist father, G.A. He served as president of the Cape Ann Modern Art Association.

An accomplished flutist, Bob played with the Trenton and Cape Ann symphonies and with the University Orchestra while a student.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Jean; sons R. Bruce and George D.; daughter Wendy Bradshaw; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

His ashes were distributed in Gloucester harbor while his sailboat sailed around, Bach flute music played, and the family was in accompanying boats. Memorial contributions may be made to the Cape Ann Symphony.

We send our sympathies on the loss of this gifted classmate.
