SAMUEL HAY KAUFFMANN '20
(Princeton Alumni Weekly, Vol. 71)
When Sam died on Jan. 12 in George Washington General Hospital, the class lost one of its most beloved and distinguished members.
Born Feb. 24, 1898, in Washington, his early schooling was in the Washington public schools, Washington Collegiate School an Lawrenceville. In Princetonn he was a member of the freshman crew, the Glee Club, Theater Intime and the Triangle Club. In 1918 he enlisted in the Naval Reserve Flying Corps, which duty was cut short by the Armistice in November.
Immediately upon graduation he began his lifetime career with the Washington Evening Star of which he was president from 1949 to 1963 when he became chairman of the board, the position he held until his resignation in 1968.
Over the years he accepted a heavy burden of civic responsibility. As early as 1932 he was named a trustee of the Washington Community Chest. He served as president of the Emergency Hospital, was elected an honorary permanent life member of the Children's Hospital, was president of the Metropolitan Club, and a member of Chevy Chase, Alfalfa, and Alibi Clubs as well as Rolling Rock Club at Ligonier, Pa.
Queen Juliana of the Netherlands honored Sam with the Order of Orange Nassau. He was also the recipient of Finland's Order of the White Rose.
For many years he was a director of Rigg's National Bank, a director of Acacia Mutual Life Insurance Co., an honorary director of the Washington Hospital Center, a director of the American Red Cross, a trustee of the American Cancer Society and trustee of American University.
For these and many other reasons, he was awarded in 1967 the Princeton Club of Washington Award for Distinguished Community Service.
We deeply share his loss and extend our warm sympathy to his wife, Miriam, his sons, Samuel H. III '46, John H. '47, and his daughters, Mrs. George E. Lamphere of Washington and Mrs. Rockwell Hollands of Palo Alto.
