Harold S. Mohler
September?, 1988
Trustee Harold Mohler Dies;
Lehigh Loses A True Friend
Lehigh University trustee Harold S. Mohler, who served
as chairman of the board of trustees from 1973 to 1985, died
August 31 of a massive heart attack at his home in Hershey,
Pa. He was a corporate member of the board of trustees at
the time of his death.
Mohler, a member of Lehigh's
Class of 1948, was retired chairman of
Hershey Foods Corp.   In recognition of
his outstanding and tireless service to
the University, Lehigh named the building at 200 West Packer Ave. the Harold
S. Mohler Laboratory. The facility was
dedicated in June and houses the
Institute for Robotics, the Center for
Design and Manufacturing Innovation,
the Manufacturing Systems Engineering Program and the
department of industrial engineering.
Reached in Atlanta, university president Peter Likins
said, "I loved the man and will miss him dearly."
Likins added that during his tenure as chairman of the
board Mohler worked tirelessly to support the university
during a period of growth that was unprecedented in
Lehigh's history.   The entire campus will mourn the loss of
an outstanding friend and supporter.
Mohler was first named to the board of trustees in 1971.
Under his leadership the endowment at Lehigh increased
from $46 million to more than $100 million. He served as
national chairman of Lehigh's successful New Century Fund
capital campaign that raised $112 million over the 12-year
period that paralleled his tenure as board chairman.
In 1984 the Asa Packer Society, named for Lehigh
founder Asa Packer, honored Mohler with its first "Founder's Award," presented in recognition of "his outstanding
leadership and dedication to his alma mater." That same
year he was honored as one of the nation's outstanding
volunteers in higher education by the Council for the
Advancement and Support of Education.
He received an honorary doctor of laws degree from
Lehigh in 1975 and the L-in-Life Award from the Lehigh
University Club of New York in 1977. He was a past president of the Lehigh Alumni Association.
Born in Ephrata, Pa., Mohler joined Hershey Foods
following his graduation from Lehigh in 1948 with a B.S. in
industrial engineering. He rose through the company and
was named chairman of the board in 1974.
During World War II he served as a navigator on a B-
17, operating from Italy. Shot down over Austria on his
23rd combat mission, he was a prisoner of war in Germany
for a year. He was awarded the Air Medal with two oak leaf
clusters and the purple heart.
Mohler was 69. He is survived by his wife, Melda, and
three children.
