Overview

Robert R. Barry is a diplomat and Hamilton College alumnus. His Hamilton connection is established through other sources; the assigned corpus files do not contain a direct listing for him under that name.

Relevance to Research

The 1939-40 catalog (yhm-arc-pub-cat-1939-40) and the 1941-42 catalog (yhm-arc-pub-cat-1941-42) both contain a student named “Barry, John Reagan” of Lyndonville listed among the class of 1940/seniors of 1942, and “Keenan, Robert Barry” in another section — neither of these appears to be Robert R. Barry the diplomat. A “Barry” surname also appears in honor/credit lists in both catalogs but without a first name or initial. No entry matching “Robert R. Barry” by full name was found in either file.

Notes

The assigned corpus files do not yield a clear match for Robert R. Barry. The Barry mentions in these catalogs refer to John Reagan Barry and Robert Barry Keenan (the latter has Barry as a middle name). This entry should be revisited with additional catalog years or alumni records to confirm his class year at Hamilton.
