Rev.Alison Reid Bryan
The Class of 1913 Princeton
ALISON REID BRYAN died Sept. 22, 1992, nine days after his 101st birthday, at his home in Frenchtown, N.J. He was the last surviving member of the Class and was believed to be the third oldest alumnus at the time of his death.
A graduate of McCormick Theological Seminary, in 1917 (he later received a doctorate in theology from Temple), Alison's lifelong love of the less fortunate took him to western India, where for 13 years he preached, taught, and cared for outcasts and lepers, becoming a good friend of Mahatma Gandhi. There he met Marion Cuthbertson, a missionary from Scotland, who was to be his wife for 51 years until her death.
Following WWII, in which he served as a military chaplain in the U.S. and overseas, he was a pastor of churches in Frenchtown, Perth Amboy, and Salem, N.J., returning to Frenchtown in 1977, at the age of 86, to marry Edith Fargo, who since has annually graced reunions and Alumni Days with her presence. Alison's devotion to Princeton spanned over 80 years, reaching down to current students, whom he'd take delight in greeting from his golfcart before the P-rade.
As recently as last year, he participated in another favorite parade, the annual Delaware Valley CROP Walk for world hunger. "In a society filled with contradictions," said his pastor, Alison "spoke the truth and he lived that truth, and he died in that truth: the peace of God."
He is survived by Edith; by two daughters, Helen Bryan Garland and Janet C. Bryan; by five grandchildren; and by five great-grandchildren.
