Among his memories of Princeton, as he wrote some 60 years after college, were: “Alone in the library on spring prom night reading Schopenhauer. . . . Sitting at the piano with Willard Thorp, trying to transcribe for the piano a Mozart string quartet.
  . . . Observing students overturning a car on Nassau Street during the 1931 riot. . . . Seeing Jack Lovelock and Bill Bonthron run the fastest mile in history. . . . Sailing on the Ile de France , destination England, courtesy of the Princeton track team. . . . ”

Warren is survived by his wife, Dorothy Wetzel Rainear.
