Alexander Butler Duncan '80 died at Hempstead, Long Island, May 18, 1920, aged 62 years. He was born in New York City June 6, 1858, the son of the late William Butler Duncan. He received his preparatory education at Eton College, England. After graduation he entered the banking business, but passed much of his time on his ranch in the West and in travel. While in Princeton he played guard on the varsity football team with such men as Bland Ballard, Cutts, Devereux, McNair and Withington. He was one of the charter members of Ivy. During the war he was connected with the Remount Service, but was later retired under the age limit. He then established branches of the Y. M. C. A. at Mitchel and Hazelhurst Fields, and his death is directly attributable to a breakdown incident to that work. He was a member of the Meadowbrook Hunt Club, Racquet, Turf and Field Club and many kindred organizations. He married in 1904 Mrs. James L. Kernochan, who survives him. He was a man of most charming personality and was unusually gifted in many ways. (From "The Princeton Alumni Weekly" Vol. XX, No. 36, June 16, 1920)
