Mr. Few graduated from Trinity College, now Duke University, with B.A and M.A. degrees. His uncle, Dr. William P. Few, was the last president of Trinity College, before it became Duke University. He served in the U.S. Army as a First Lieutenant during World War I from 1917 to 1919. He was President of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company and he was also a farmer and a spokesman for agriculture and conservation. The Greer, S.C., native was known for his warm sense of humor and zest for living. He had a life-long interest in sports and loved to play golf. He was elected a Trustee of The Duke Endowment in 1951, and served as chair from 1960 to 1970. He retired from the board in 1973. A resolution adopted by the Trustees in his honor credited “his warm sense of humor, his zest for living, and his quiet approach to the affairs of each day.”
