Spencer Farrin Kuhn ’35

AT THE END of sophomore year Bill left Princeton to pursue his B.A. and L.L.B. at the Univ. of Cincinnati, located in the city of his birth. The rest of his fruitful life was dedicated to the careful practice of law, to the U.S. Coast Guard during the war, to a number of charitable organizations, and to his family. He began his law practice in 1937 with the Gatch firm, later Gatch, Kleinmann, Roberts & Kuhn. At the time of his death, Sept. 16, 1989, he was counsel with Strauss & Troy, also in Cincinnati. Bill spent three and a half wartime years as an instructor at the Coast Guard Academy and at sea in the Pacific where, to pass the time, he learned gourmet cooking, which was to become his favorite and life-long hobby. Bill's many "outside" efforts benefited the Cincinnati Symphony, the United Appeal, the United Fine Arts Fund, and the local Widows and Old Men's Home, where for many years he was a board member and head of its building committee.

Bill is survived by his wife, Ada Dixon Kuhn; a daughter; a son; and a granddaughter. His son, Dixon, remembers his father as a "very conservative and mannerly gentleman with traditional values on how to treat people and on what is right and wrong."
