Robert H. Scholl ’22

Robert H. Scholl, our beloved, esteemed president, died peacefully in his apartment at Cathedral Village in Philadelphia on Feb. 9, 1998. He was 97.

Bob graduated from Columbia Law School in 1925. He joined the law firm of Kellogg Emery Innis-Brown in NYC. In 1935 he moved to Esso Standard Oil Co. as associate general counsel and became executive v.p. and general counsel. He ultimately served the parent organization, Standard Oil Co. (NJ), as director of public relations, retiring in 1965. As an alumnus, Bob served as a class officer in every position and was a trustee of the 1922 Foundation. He attended most reunions and was proud to have marched in the P-rade in 1997 at the 75th reunion.

In 1980 Bob and his wife, Katherine "Kitty," moved to Cathedral Village in Philadelphia after 33 years in New Canaan, Conn. He was the first president of the Residents Assn. and was a member of the Village board of directors until 1993. Bob was predeceased in 1985 by Katherine, his wife of 60 years. He is survived by a brother, Julian S., and two sons and daughters-in-law, Robert P. and Carolyn Burton-Scholl, and Arnold B. and Margaret Justice-Scholl, eight grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. The class will miss Bob's presence very much.
