William Ladd Hallowell ’53

Body

William "Kip" Hallowell, who died Oct. 26, 1995, was just as quiet on campus as he was with the class after graduation. Born in Boston and raised in Bermuda, he prepared at Saltus H.S.

Some of us who would gripe while trudging down to those 7:40 a.m. Mil. Sci. classes at the armory remember that Kip often walked with the group of grumblers. He would smile but never complain and rarely entered into the conversation, which, looking back, is understandable given the time of day. He majored in history, was a member of Prospect Club, and was active in Whig-Clio. He roomed in 26 N. Edwards all four years. His last address was in Montclair, N.J., and there was no communication with '53. Now thanks to our classmate Dr. Pierre Mancusi-Ungaro, we know that Kip was an accountant and was with NBC when he chose early retirement. He never married, his death was due to cancer, and there was no next of kin, according to Edmund Mancusi-Ungaro, Pierre's cousin and Kip's attorney.

Kip was a gentle person and we miss him. We regret that he did not stay in touch, and we are most appreciative to Pierre for supplying the above information.
