Kiplinger, a noted philanthropist and benefactor of the University, became a trustee in 1960 and led the board from 1984 to 1989. He died at a hospice in Rockville, Maryland, of cancer that had metastasized to his brain, his son Knight Kiplinger ’69 said. Born on Sept. 19, 1918, Kiplinger was the son of prominent journalist W.M. Kiplinger, who founded the financial publishing company Kiplinger Washington Editors, Inc. in 1920. As an undergraduate at Cornell University, Kiplinger was a member of the Telluride House, Glee Club and Student Council, among other activities. It was also at Cornell that he began his career in journalism, working as a campus stringer for The Ithaca Journal. After graduating from Cornell, he served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Following the war, Kiplinger and his father founded the first publication devoted to personal finance for American families, which is now known as Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.
