August 12: We received the sad news that Jim Hazzard ’50 passed away yesterday. Jim was the director of alumni affairs from 1985 to 1995, which meant that he was an ex officio member of the Cornell Alumni News committee as part of his service to the alumni community. In recent years, he often called or wrote with information and suggestions—usually something relating to well-deserved recognition of a fellow alum or faculty member. Jim was tireless in his devotion to Cornell and Cornell alumni, and I’ll miss hearing from him.
