ALUMNI NOTES CONTINUED
IN MEMORIAM
Theodore “Ted” Leverett ’49, G’50
Syracuse University played a large, important role in the life of Theodore
W. Leverett ’49, G’50. Leverett earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering, which became the educational foundation for his successful career with IBM. While a student at SU, he worked as a graduate assistant in engineering and served for two years on the Hendricks Chapel board.
It was at Syracuse that he met his wife, music major Irene Elaine Engle ’49,
and their marriage, which began in 1954, lasted until his death in 2010. Despite busy professional and personal lives, the Leveretts maintained strong connections to their alma mater—Ted served as president of the Dutchess County SU alumni club, and both he and Irene met with potential students as pre-college counselors. Among their interests was one that combined Irene’s love of music with Ted’s penchant for engineering—collecting, and in many cases repairing, items that played a tune—from music boxes to musical toys, art, and instruments.
Doug Danforth ’47
Trustee Doug Danforth ’47, a lifelong supporter of Syracuse University, passed away on June 9, 2015.
Danforth, whose ancestors were among the rst settlers in Syracuse, came
from a family of extremely modest means. In the 1940s he was an unlikely candidate to have the opportunity to go to college. Despite the challenges, he was determined to go to Syracuse University.
“When I enrolled in college only about
7 percent of high school graduates even thought about going to college,” said Danforth in a 2006 video produced about Syracuse war veteran students. “Thanks to the G.I. Bill, it allowed returning service people to enter college—and for many families for the rst time.”
Last December, a celebration of Ted’s life was held on Shaw Quad, with Hendricks Chapel Dean Ti any Steinwert presiding. “For all that Ted has given us to make
us what we are, for that of him which is rooted and grows in each of us, and for all that will live on through his legacy, here at Syracuse University, we give thanks,” Steinwert said. With those words, Ted’s ashes were given a nal resting place outside Smith Hall, where he spent so many days as an engineering student. ●
By all accounts, Danforth had an extraordinary professional career. After spending a few years after graduation
in South and Central America, he joined Westinghouse in 1955 as executive vice president and general manager of a
sister company, Industria Electrica de Mexico. In 1961 he moved to Pittsburgh, where he continued to rise in the ranks at Westinghouse until he became CEO and chairman in the 1980s.
“Doug was the quintessential old-school gentleman—dedicated to his city, Pittsburgh, his company, Westinghouse, his university, Syracuse, and his friends and family,” said Eric Spina, Trustee Professor, who had the opportunity to work closely with him when he served as the Douglas D. Danforth Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science and as the University’s Vice Chancellor and Provost.
Danforth was a philanthropic leader who understood the value of supporting the next generation of leaders and the place that had given so much to him.
“What Doug was really passionate about was the students—he loved to interact with the students when he would come to campus,” said Spina. “His last gift to the University is focused on supporting students through scholarships.”
Through his generosity in supporting Syracuse University students his legacy will live on here on the Hill. ●

Engineer magazine promotes a clean, sustainable environment. Throughout production, we have embraced green practices and principles. We use 100% post-consumer paper and print only with soy-based, non VOC inks. Our printer is FSC® certified. Our printer is Green-e® certified and offsets their electricity use through the purchase of renewable energy credits. Steps like this can preserve more than 210 trees, save over 99,000 gallons of wastewater, eliminate nearly 6,500 pounds of solid waste and prevent the emission of more than 18,000 pounds of greenhouse gases.
That’s a big difference, and that’s the idea.
Environmental savings calculations are based on 17,820 lbs of paper production run.
