Philip Maxwell Hahn

Philip Maxwell Hahn '55

Mar. 24, 1932-May. 23, 2019

Philip Maxwell Hahn ’55, a financial analyst of Stamford, Conn., was born on March 24, 1932, in Philadelphia, a son of the former Irene Caulkins and Maxwell Hahn, a foundation executive. He prepared for college at the Mount Hermon School in Northfield, Mass.

On College Hill, Hahn was co-captain of the swim team and a member of the soccer team, College Choir, and the Campus Fund. An English literature major, he was also a member of Gryphon. For his 50th reunion yearbook, he summarized his undergraduate years this way: “The college scene at Hamilton has changed a lot, but I like to think a well-rounded person is still the goal. We certainly had our share of characters as professors with distinct outlooks on life. I like to believe this environment helped give us the ability to separate the wheat from the chaff as we go through life.”

After graduation Hahn earned his M.B.A. from New York University in the evenings while serving U.S. Trust Co. as a financial analyst and portfolio manager. He worked his way through the ranks at U.S. Trust to vice president before retiring in 1987. He then worked for Brown Brothers Harriman, a private financial services firm.

Hahn was a member of the New York Society of Security Analysts. He served as a deacon at the First Presbyterian Church of Greenwich and sang with The Melody Men at the Greenwich Retired Men’s Association. He was a devoted member of the Old Greenwich Lions Club, for which he served stints as treasurer and president.

He took great pride in his home and enjoyed gardening and playing golf, according to a published obituary.

Hahn, a generous supporter of his alma mater throughout his life, died on May 23, 2019. He was 87 and is survived by a daughter, a son, and a grandson. Hahn was predeceased by his wife, the former Jean Rogers, sister of Ralph Rogers ’53.
