William Raae Mangum ’46

RAAE, "THE SAGE of Rocky Mount, N.C.," died May 12, 1989, after battling throat cancer for a year.

Raae came to us from Rocky Mount High School in the summer of 1942. He managed to conceal the fact that he had a trick knee and joined the Army. After fiv,e months, however, he required a medical discharge and returned to Princeton, majoring in psychology and receiving his degree in 1946. Raae spent several years with the C.I.A., then joined a British firm, the Imperial Leaf Tobacco Co. He retired in 1955.

How many of us have sat on "Raae's Bench," facing Reunion Hall, chatting with the wise philosopher? We shall miss our genial companion and loyal friend.

We send out heartfelt condolences to his mother, Mrs. William W. Mangum, and his brother, Jennings '47.
