Former Milfordian
Honored By Princeton

tOOnLl0u6O from page OQe1
Fall at age So is entering upon a
new phase of distinguished ca
reer. After 35 years of active duty
in Princeton University, Foulk be-
comes the only "ConsuItant" list
ed among the institutions admin
istrative officers. While he will
officially serve as advisor to the
Purchasing Office, the organiza-
ton he headed from 1945 until
last July when his health forced
him to relinquish full-time respon-
sibilities, he will also be available
to assist with the planning and
equipping of laboratories.
A member of a generations-old
Delaware family, Foulk was called
mington where he had been man.
ager of chemical stores in the du-
Pont Experimental Station. He
had been educated in Delaware
public schools, had combined high
school studies with the manage
ment of drugstore in his native
Milford and had demonstrated
what one famed scientist terms
rare genius" in coping with the
needs and demands of research
chemists. His job at Princeton,
then in the throes of planning
Frick Chemical Laboratory, was
to help translate hopes and con-
fiicting opinions into actuality,
particularly in regard to the 'sys-
tenn of supply" and the arrange
ment of service facilities.
"Frick Lab, completed in 1929
and known throughout the "Chemi-
cal world" for the achievements
of its staff members, has had less
dramatic but equally apparent i'm
pact upon laboratory construction
in his country, Europe and South
America. Visitors to the facility
have been impressed by the efica-
cy of the "Foulk System" of sup
ply from centrally located store
rooms and have transplanted the
methodology-lock, stock and test
tube-to their own campuses, in
cluding Manchester and Cambridge
Universities in England. For some
two decades Foulk specialized in
laboratory equipment, worked in
credible hours (most often with
out compensation as consultant
to universities and individuals and
wrote articles for professional
journals that have been accepted
as standard guides in the field.
Elected to membership in Sigma
XII, national honorary society, in
Af 1S f,sfh
the advancement of research
and also a member of
the American Chemical Society, he
subsequently assisted in estab-
fishing the relatively young De-
partment of Chemical Engineering
and played leading role in trans
forming a large private residence
into the present-day headquarters
of the expanding Textile Research
Institute. In 1945, Foulk, who has
possibly seen more Princeton bas-
ketball games (both home and
away than any other active
Princetonian, reluctantly resigned
from the curatOrship of Frick in
order to re-organize and assume
direction of the University's Pur-
Office.
For fully understanding all of
the implications of the expression,
"the labor of love" for over the
years placing the demands of his
work far above any and all per-
sonal considerations; for looking
to this community's future and
never to its past, even after the

for "Princeton's Man of the week

I've been planning to ink out a

hip on your hops since the begin

envy of girls, and girls have been
the envy of boys and since '56

news, of course, but Majorie Smith
and Quint White are really in love.
The love between Bonnie Larry
and Patricia Campbell is being
hailed as a Romeo and Juliet
triumph. Regardless of anything
you have heard, there isn't any
thing between Josephine Green

love for George Jackson is as sweet
as the earth itself, but will it last?
J. D. Beamon are you satisfied
with your new love? Poor john
cite Shinoult is out of the picture
with James Edward since Annie

been asking the whereabouts of
Johnnie Lee Carr, could it be that
they're making a comeback? Helen
Davis, did you know that the lover
by Freddie is already "tied?" Var
nell Richardson says Aggie Bell
will always be his one and only
"Sweet Mama" Dorothy Smith is
known toflove Ardell Moreland as
much as life itself. Charles Dorth
had better keep an eye on Ross
Clay, because Patricia Williams is
moving in, slowly but surely. "Mr.

Rosa Brown that she doesn't have
