Timothy Callard was a three-year letter winner at Princeton. Described by Hall of Fame coach Dick Colman as “one of the finest guards I have ever coached,” Callard claimed First-Team All-Ivy accolades his senior year. He was also the winner of the John P. Poe-Richard W. Kazmaier Trophy, given to players that display loyalty, devotion, courage, manliness, self-control and modesty, perseverance and determination under discouraging conditions, observance of the rules of the game and fairness towards opponents. A gifted athlete, Callard, who played at 5-feet-11 and 182 pounds, was also captain of the varsity lacrosse team, where he was also First-Team All-Ivy.

Callard was a dominant presence on the Princeton campus. President of his class and a dedicated student, he was a member of both the Dean’s list and Phi Beta Kappa, a national honor society. He was president of the Ivy Club, sang in the a cappella group and served as a chapel deacon.

After graduation, Callard continued his education at Columbia University & Union Theological Seminary where he received an M.A. in religion. The All-Ivy guard dedicated his life to education, and in 1966 he joined the faculty at Phillips Andover, one of the most prestigious prep schools in the nation, as a religion instructor. He also dedicated his time as the director of community service, a college placement counselor and assistant coach of the football and lacrosse teams. In 1971, Callard returned to his alma mater to serve as the director of admissions, where he stayed for seven years. After a stint as headmaster at the Hotchkiss School, Callard went to the Latin School of Chicago where he served as the director of studies for 16 years.
