Curtiss Summers Hitchcock ’29 *33

Curt died on Aug. 5, 1999. He prepared at Woodbury [Conn.] H.S. and Taft. At Princeton he was a member of the track team, Glee Club, and Elm Club. His roommates were Bill Clinger and Jack Graham. Curt returned to Princeton and received a PhD in chemistry in 1933, then began teaching at Lawrenceville, where he stayed for 38 years, becoming master of Cleve House and doing a variety of coaching jobs at the school and in Little League. He was also a reader in chemistry for the college board entrance examination.

When he retired from Lawrenceville, Curt moved to Hilton Head Island, S.C., where he played golf; he was lucky to have shot two hole-in-ones. He did some historical work relating to the island and to his own 19th-century family.

He was a member of the First Congregational Church of Woodbury and of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Hilton Head, where he sang in the choir for many years.

In 1940, Curt married Dorothy Statk. He is survived by their daughter, Frances, and son Bouldin. The class extends sincere sympathy to Curt's family.
