Lippincott, Walter, publisher; born in Philadelphia in 1849; educated in the Thomas Baldwin School and the University of Pennsylvania, class of 1868. He left the university in his sophomore year and went into business in his father's publishing and bookselling establishment, the J. B.Lippincott & Company house. In this he showed extraordinary activity, so great indeed that he broke down nervously about 1881 and was obliged to withdraw from active work in the establishment. His interest in the concern continued, however, and on the reorganization of the firm into an incorporated company in 1885 he became a director in the company. Since then his services have been of an advisory character, his health not permitting an active participation. Mr. Lippincott is a member of the Union League, Rittenhouse, University, Art, Racquet, Country, Franklin Inn, Corinthian Yacht (Philadelphia), New York Yacht and Merion Cricket Clubs and Sons of the Revolution , Colonial of Pennsylvania and Mayflower Societies. He married Elizabeth T. Horstmann, in 1879, and has one child, a daughter. His address was 2101 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.
