William S. Eisenhart III ’70

Will Eisenhart died June 25, 1995, in a fall from the roof of the building in which he lived in N.Y.C. He was 48. A native of York, Penn., and a graduate of Exeter, Will entered Princeton as a member of the Class of '67. Various leaves of absence and subsequent returns to campus made him briefly a member of '68 and finally, the Class of '70. He majored in English and was a member of Colonial Club. After briefly working at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Will settled in Manhattan. His work with dance companies often took him to Europe. He also assisted with productions for the Louis Falcon Dance Co. and the Opera Theater of St. Louis.

He published articles in Arts and in Art News. He wrote The World of Donald Evans, which won an American Book Award in 1982. At the time of his death, Will was working on a book about his late friend, the sculptor Louise Nevelson.

Will's friends from many walks of life will remember him for his fierce conviviality, his sense of humor and his realism. To his parents, William '34 and Hazel, and his brothers, Chris and John, the class extends its sincere sympathy.
