About Jonathan Marx

Jonathan Eric Marx, a June 1985 computer science graduate from New Rochelle, NY, died on July 9, 1985, after an accidental fall while skiing in Switzerland. To pay tribute to his life, the Jonathan E. Marx Memorial Fund was established at Cornell by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alan Marx.

Jonathan is remembered as a warm, friendly, outgoing young man, who cared about people, and who had an enormous amount of enthusiasm for life and for his Cornell education. He was an avid athlete, an active member of the Association of Computer Science Undergraduates, a member of Sigma Pi fraternity, a tutor for the mathematics department, and a grader and consultant for CS482.
