Roswell C. Dunn ’27

Ros died Oct. 6, 2003. Born in 1904 in Baltimore, he came to Princeton from the Gilman School. At Princeton, Ros was a member of the Daily Princetonian and Ivy Club, and performed in the Triangle Chorus.

After Princeton, Ros was with Alexander and Alexander Insurance Co., first in St. Louis and then in NYC. He was director and senior vice president of A&A when he retired, and also president of Adams, Holmes and Thorpe, Inc. He lived in Sarasota in his retirement.

Ros performed many services for the class and the University, including class insurance agent, negotiating the gift of the class insurance to Firestone Library at the 20th reunion, AG agent, vice president, secretary, class representative on the Graduate Council, agent for the Princeton Fund, and later for the Third Century Fund. Such was his identification with Princeton that he often introduced himself in the following manner: "I'm Ros Dunn, Princeton '27."

Ros's wife, Emily, whom he married in 1929, died in 1998. He is survived by a son, Robert; three nephews, William K. Cromwell III '46, Edward K. Dunn Jr. '57, and Pierce B. Dunn '72; and a great-nephew, Edward K. Dunn III '84. The class extends its condolences to his family.
