Everett Needham Case
VAN HORNESVILLE - July 19 - Everett Needham Case, president emeritus of Colgate University, died in his sleep yesterday at the Harding Nursing Home in nearby Waterville, NY. He was 99.
A former president also of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and in the 1960s Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Case was born in Plainfield, NJ, the elder son of J. Herbert Case and Alice Needham Case. He was graduated from Princeton University in 1922, and earned an honors degree in modern European history at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Case's graduate study in American history at Harvard was interrupted in 1927 when he became personal assistant to Owen D. Young, then chairman of General Electric Co., founder-director of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), and deputy chairman of the New York Federal Reserve, of which Case's father was the senior Deputy-Governor.
In June, 1931, Case's marriage to Josephine Young, only daughter of Owen D. Young, was celebrated in the old Universalist Church in this upstate village, after which the young couple spent two months in China as American delegates to the Shanghai conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations. Thus began an interest in China and the Chinese that led to Case's appointment in 1949 as consultant on U. S. - China policy to Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Some 15 years later he became a founding director of the National Committee on U. S. - China Relations, and in 1973 a senior member of the delegation to visit China-in-Transition, which was received on a memorable evening by Chou-en-Lai.
On his induction in 1942 as president of Colgate University, Case pledged its total cooperation with the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps in the round-the-clock training and basic education of their aviation cadets and future officer personnel. The total thus trained at this then small liberal arts college during World War II was 4,793. In the meantime, Case had appointed and chaired a commitee of senior professors to plan for a Post-War college whose educational program would demand creative work of faculty and student alike. From this emerged Colgate's version of the so-called Core Curriculum - which attracted favorable attention for its emphasis on a freshman program that distinguished college sharply from school. Colgate's library, for which he raised much of the funding, was named in his honor in 1962.
During his administrative years, Case also served at various times as president of the American Council on Education, chairman of National Educational Television (NET), board member of IBM World Trade, the Committee for Economic Development, and the Fund for Financial Aid to Education. Additionally, he had been an alumni trustee of Princeton, board member of the Sloan-Kettering Foundation, and a member of the Harvard Overseers Committe to visit the College and its History Department.
Returning at last to Van Hornesville, which he and his wife had always considered their home, they jointly researched and co-authored the only full-length biography of her father. Scheduled for publication as "Owen D. Young and American Enterprise," in time for their Golden Wedding anniversary, its appearance was delayed until 1982, when the first two copies off the press were duly autographed by each author for the other. Proud of this partnership with his wife in preparing this fifth of her published works, as he was to have followed both his father and father-in-law as Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve, he once remarked that with these honors, his offspring, and his 13 honorary degrees, he was - and ought to be - content.
Case's wife, Josephine, died in 1990. He is survived by their four children; Josephine Edmonds Case of Van Hornesville, James H. III of White Plains, NY, Samuel P. of Fairfax, CA, and John P. of Cambridge, MA; eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held later in Van Hornesville and at Colgate. Gifts in memory of the deceased may appropriately be directed to the Everett Needham Case Library or in support of minority applicants, to: Memorial Gifts, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY 13346.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to J. Seaton McGrath Funeral Home 40 West James Street, Richfield Springs, New York.
