Robert M. Good ’74

The class lost one of its gentle heroes when Robert died Apr. 5, 2002, after a long battle with cancer.

Robert came to Princeton from Shawnee Mission East HS in Prairie Village, Kans., following in the footsteps of both his late father, Bill '45, and his older brother, Bill '73. While at Princeton, Robert was active in Whig-Clio and the Princeton Evangelical Fellowship.

After graduating summa cum laude, Robert went on to earn a master's in religion and a doctorate in Near Eastern studies from Yale. His thirst for learning still not quenched, Robert earned an MBA from MIT in 1986. He applied all aspects of his education throughout his illustrious and diversified career, which included service as an ordained Presbyterian minister, assistant professor at several leading universities (Brown, Connecticut College, Dartmouth, and Penn), author of several books and scholarly publications, managing director of Cambridge Associates, Boston, and founder of South Street Advisors in Providence, a global private-equity advisory firm. Always unpretentious, he taught a fourth-grade class at his church in later years.

The class extends deepest sympathy to Robert's widow, Kathy; his children, Hannah, Pamela, and Andre; his mother, Elizabeth; and his brother, Bill.
