SAMUEL HIGGINBOTTOM Obituary
The President and Trustees of Columbia University express deep sorrow at the passing of Samuel L. Higginbottom, cherished friend, alumnus, and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees. A 1943 graduate of Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science, Samuel was named a University Trustee in 1978 and began a seven-year term as chairman in 1982. His tenure was marked by the same wisdom, generosity, and tireless spirit that made him a distinguished business leader and mentor. Columbia extends its profound sympathy to Samuel's wife, Jana; his children, Samuel L. Higginbottom, Fair Higginbottom, and Rowan Maclaren; his stepchildren Guilherme, Geana, and Bruna Sieburger; and his 23 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
