W. Irving Harris ’20

Body

W. IRVING HARRIS died July 16, 1990, in Princeton. Irv's Princeton days included participating in the Triangle show, editing PAW, managing the swimming team, and becoming an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. His business career soon ended in a lifelong dedication to church and church matters. He became asst. minister at the Central Presbyterian Church in N.Y., then moved to Calvary Episcopal Church, where he edited their well-known publication FAITH AT WORK, and, on the side, published books on the spiritual approach to life.

Irv certainly achieved his aim in life, spreading the good news of his Father's place in the scheme of things. And along with his serious dedication Irving enjoyed a delightful sense of humor and great joy in his friends. Irving's life added much to the stature of the Class.

To his widow, Julia, and children Andrew, Annie, and Carol Bradley, we extend our love and deepest sympathy in their great loss.
