Schuyler Colfax Woodhull ’38

Schuy died in Minneapolis Nov. 6, 2005, just short of his 90th birthday.

He came to Princeton from the highly respected Blake School in Minneapolis. At Princeton he played on the hockey team as the first-string forward for all four years. Schuy also belonged to Colonial Club, was a member of Theatre Intime and the Glee Club, played on the tennis team, and majored in English, graduating with departmental honors.

His World War II military service consisted of four years of active duty in three theaters, North Africa, Italy, and Austria. He rose to the rank of lieutenant. His postwar career was one of increasing importance in real estate, land development, and construction. He contributed to the community life of greater Minneapolis over the years, fundraising for his church, schools, the YMCA, and the Republican Party.

Always athletic, Schuy remained active in skating, tennis, swimming, and golf throughout his life. He is survived by Janet, his wife of 54 years; their five children; and 12 grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends deep sympathy.
