William Bradford Craig ’38

Brad died Nov. 8, 2001, of Alzheimer's. Last June he received our class Distinguished Service Award.

Brad prepared at Kent. At Princeton he was on our undefeated freshman football team and our freshman hockey team. He lettered in varsity hockey and rugby, was a member of the Student-Faculty Assn., Cottage Club, and an ROTC first lieutenant.

During WWII he was shot down twice in the South Pacific, rescued by crash boats, won the DSC, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart, and was discharged as a major.

He served 22 years at Princeton as director of student aid and an adviser to foreign students. His four trips to Africa enabled many African students to gain college degrees.

After he retired in 1972, Brad and Margot owned an antiquarian bookstore in Bennington, Vt., where Brad was director of the aging office and a consultant at Bennington and Southern Vermont colleges.

Margot died in 1990. Survivors are sons Thomas W. and John R., a grandson, and a sister, to all of whom the class extends deepest sympathy.
