Hart served in the U.S. Marines during World War II and was awarded the Purple Heart.
He was retired from Kenmore Mercy Hospital as a microbiologist. (BA '49)

Purple Heart- "took a bullet in his lung while fighting in the Pacific theater and carries it around to this day."
"Edwin Hart is still learning, still growing, still young," notes English professor Robert Daly. "He still carries a bullet in his chest but no rancor in his soul, only endless curiosity."
