The William Philo Clark Scholarship was established in 1981 in memory of William Philo Clark, Class of 1937, by his widow, Norah McLean Clark.
William Philo Clark was born in Teaneck, New Jersey. He entered Hamilton in 1933, where he majored in Latin and English and was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. After graduating in 1937, he earned an LL.B. degree from Fordham Law School. He joined the U.S. Army in 1941, serving in North Africa and Italy as a Captain until his honorable discharge at the end of World War II. He and his wife, Norah McLean Clark, moved to Lincoln Park, New Jersey, in 1952, where William was elected for three-consecutive terms as mayor. William died in 1980 while traveling in Austria.
