IN MEMORIAM R E T I R E D S TA F F, A L U M N I T R U S T E E

’41 William “Lee” Culp, Wooster, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2012. Lee served the College of Wooster for more than 30 years. When he attended the College in the Class of ’41, Lee majored in physics and math, and he served as president of his class. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving in the Pacific with distinction and earning both the Silver and Bronze Stars. He returned to Wooster in 1947 and held a variety of positions at the College, such as the director of admissions, alumni trustee, director of development, and registrar. During his time at the College, Lee was commissioned by Professor Karl Ver Steeg to draw a map of campus and the College used it for many years thereafter. He also sketched a design for the first study carrels in Andrews Library and resurrected the severely damaged bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln from a dust heap inside the old football stadium. Lee is perhaps best known today for beginning the tootsie roll tradition for seniors upon their completion of I.S. As registrar, he felt that seniors deserved something beyond just a completion receipt, so he started handing out candy, an act that has continued ever since. Lee’s two children, Joel Culp ’71 and Cheryl Dixon ’76, two grandchildren, and one stepgrandchild survive him.
