Lawrence Washington Chisolm '50
Larry Chisolm died Apr. 29, 1998, at his home in Buffalo, N.Y., after a long bout with cancer. He was 69.
Larry prepared at St. Mark's, where he was yearbook editor, in student government, and played football and basketball. At Princeton he majored in S.P.I.A., was on the class memorial fund executive committee, played rugby, and belonged to Cottage.
After three years in the Navy, he earned his PhD at Yale, specializing in East Asian studies, and taught there until 1968. He then went to the U. of Buffalo for the last 30 years of his career. His interdisciplinary approach to American studies, novel 30 years ago, combined a traditional emphasis on history, literature, and the arts with a new appreciation of the social sciences, particularly social anthropology.
Active in civil rights and motivated by idealism, Larry marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He actively opposed the Vietnam War, using his negotiating talents to mediate between students and the U.B. administration in the late 1960s.
He guided many students with his love and deep respect for the natural world and social justice. Those close to Larry remember him as a warm, generous man and an inspired teacher.
Larry is survived by his wife, Patricia Shelly, and five daughters, Anne Waters, Ruth, Elizabeth Paun, Susan Bliss, and Sarah Orlov, to whom the class offers its deepest sympathy.
The Class of 1950
Robert Kenley Burdette '53
With sorrow, we record the death of our friend Bob, Apr. 19, 1998, in Churchville, Va.
After finishing Somerset Maugham Elementary School with Dave Brown, Bob received his diploma from Tenafly [N.J.] H.S. prior to Princeton. At the university, Bob worked in Commons and the U-Store and put the shot in track. He was a member of Dial Lodge, sang in the choir, and played in the Tiger Band. He majored in music, and his thesis was entitled "The Orchestration of Beethoven."
Bob did not become a conductor of classical music, but he did become a conductor of English at several colleges, after receiving his doctorate in English. Bob then turned to law, obtaining his degree from Michigan Law School, and practiced in Charlotte, Mich., for several years. From 197484, he lawyered in NYC before moving to Virginia as a freelance editor for several publishing houses. His son Robert Jr. said Bob was interested in small farming and grew apples, peaches, and cherries. Dave Brown said it succinctly: "Bob was a swell guy." To that, we all agree and express our deep sympathy to his widow, Barbara, Robert Jr., daughter Anne Marie Johnston, and sister Jane Cook.
The Class of 1953
John Edward Raap '53
Regrettably, we lost John to a heart attack June 2, 1997, in Sebring, Fla.
Prior to Princeton, John, a native of Chicago, attended Oak Park Township H.S. Before leaving the university after three years, he had served on the Junior Prom Committee and the Orange Key Society and had played on the baseball team. He roomed with Dave Anderson, Don Chipman, Russ Smith, and Dick Minesinger. Dick recalls that John had his own ritual in preparing for an exam. Instead of Cliff's Notes, John would compare his notes to those of other students. He would then make a compilation and turn it over to a professional typist. The night before the test, John would have a leisurely meal with his Cannon clubmates, shoot a little pool, return to his dorm, take a relaxing shower, and then lie on his bed and absorb the typed material.
In later years, Tom Brandt became reacquainted with John through their church in Edina, Minn. John, who was with an architectural firm, went through a divorce and suffered a heart attack. He moved to Sebring to recuperate and died there. We appreciate Tom's help in trying to obtain more information about John and we are sorry John's contact with '53 was minimal. We mourn his death.
The Class of 1953
Robert Brown Gardner '59
An internationally known mathematician, Robby died May 5, 1998, following a brief illness. A professor at the U. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, since 1971, Robby authored three books and over 50 papers. A memorial fund to benefit math graduate students has been established in his name at UNC.
Son of Esmond '23, Robby played freshman soccer at Princeton, joined Key and Seal, and roomed with Randy Bigger, Tommy Byrnes, Roger Little, Charlie Murphy, and Charlie Stevenson.
Robby earned an MA at Columbia and a PhD at UC-Berkeley. He held faculty positions at Berkeley, Courant Institute, Columbia, and the Institute for Advanced Study. He cofounded a faculty and student exchange with the Technische U. in Berlin, belonged to Sigma Xi, AMS, and the First Senior Member IEEE. He was a connoisseur of antiques and fine wines, an avid collector of German stamps, and a lover of music: classical to big band, samba, and rock.
Robby was appreciated for his quick wit, sense of humor, empathy, and generosity. Princeton's John Wheeler inspired in Rob a dedication to students, several of whom spoke at his memorial service. One wrote of him: "He was the best man I ever knew."
Rob is survived by his wife, Harolyn, children Kirsten and Steven, sisters Carlene, Anita, and Margaret, and stepmother Nancy, to whom the class offers its sincere condolences.

Jackson "Jack" Morrison died June 9, 1998, of a massive heart attack at his Eureka, Calif., home. He was 53.
After Princeton, Jack earned his law degree from U. of California, Hastings College of Law, in 1974. Jack had a myriad of interests and activities. He was a master of correspondence chess, an American contract bridge life master, an Eagle Scout, a member of Mensa, and a devoted and reliable interviewer for Princeton's Alumni Schools Committee. An extremely well-respected member of the local bar, Jack devoted many volunteer hours as a judge pro tem of the Eureka Municipal Court. He was a certified specialist in family law, a member of the California Judges Assn., and a member of the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jack was the loving husband of Suzanne "Suki" for 26 years and the devoted father of Colin (20) and Beth (18); he also leaves his parents, Jack and Phyllis.

Andrew Hasenfeld '79
Scholar and activist Andrew Hasenfeld died Dec. 20, 1997, after suffering a fall. Andrew earned his BS in physics and was a member of the Film Society. He earned his PhD in biophysics from Berkeley in 1985.
At about the time he graduated from Princeton, Andrew was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Although his illness left him increasingly disabled, Andrew continued to participate in scientific pursuits, working on the Human Genome Project and projects involving magnetic resonance imaging. He was writing a physics book for popular audiences at the time of his death.
In 1994, he moved to Amherst, Mass., to be near the Quabbin Reservoir, a place he loved for its beauty. He was active in the Amherst chapter of Amnesty Intl. and succeeded in reducing the death sentence of a Russian prisoner. He campaigned against the death penalty in Massachusetts.
He also crusaded for the medical use of marijuana, which helped ease his own painful muscle spasms. An avid outdoorsman, Andrew worked to make Massachusetts's state parks more accessible to persons with disabilities.
The class sends its sympathy to Andrew's mother, Myrna, two sisters, and brother, and mourns the passing of a classmate who exemplified the best of scholarship and citizenship.
