Art Clark ’62

Art Clark ’62 spent six years at Lawrenceville, entering seventh grade in the fall of 1956—the last year that Lawrenceville had a Shell Form.

“Lawrenceville was the foundation of my education,” says Art. “Wesleyan was just icing on the cake.”

An astute investor, Art has funded a series of charitable gift annuities over the past few years that will ultimately create an endowed scholarship fund. The annuities pay a guaranteed income to Art for his lifetime. The income is only partially taxable, and he received an up-front income-tax charitable deduction for a portion of each gift. “Lawrenceville and I both aspire for the School to be need-blind in admissions. The celebration of my 50th and 55th reunions was the ideal time for me to help Lawrenceville move closer to that lofty goal, and I have made a down payment on my 60th reunion with my most recent annuity.”
