IN MEMORIAM
Judith P. Sulzberger
A pioneering physician, member of The New York Times’ Sulzberger family, and generous philanthropist, Judith P. Sulzberger, along with her three siblings, donated $5 million to Barnard in honor of their mother, Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger ’14. The gift was designated for Sulzberger Hall, the College’s fourth on-campus residential building. The structure, which opened in the fall of 1988, created the Quad and enabled Barnard to become a fully residential college. Sulzberger also funded a center for genome studies at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons. A graduate of Smith College and Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, Sulzberger worked as a pathologist, AIDS researcher, and then focused on genetics. She had a long-standing interest in public-health issues, as well as in genetic research concerning autism, and Asperger’s syndrome. Sulzberger served on the boards of the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Rainforest Alliance, the Health Sciences Council of Columbia University, and the Pasteur Foundation.
Joseph H. Flom
A trustee of Barnard from 1983 to 1993, Joseph H. Flom was a corporate attorney who helped build Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom into a powerhouse law firm. Flom knew he wanted to be a lawyer from the age of 6. A graduate of Townsend Harris High School, he enrolled in City College’s night school, but joined the Army in World War II and never graduated from college. That didn’t stop him from being admitted to Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. Flom was also a generous philanthropist to Harvard Law School and supported other programs, such as Urban America, a development fund that invests in economically depressed areas. He “adopted” a sixth-grade class of 80 Harlem students to cover their college tuition, supported programs at City College, and served as a trustee for the New York University Medical Center, and as the mayor’s representative on the board of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At Barnard he was chairman of the Committee on Barnard-Columbia Relations, and served on the Joint Barnard-Columbia Trustee Committee as well as the Committee on Budget and Finance and the Committee on Corporate Giving.
