ALICE BAER, 101; FOUNDER OF BEVERLY ARTS CENTER
Alice Hogge Baer, 101, principal of Kohn School from 1921 to 1945, was a cofounder of the Beverly Arts Center, 2153 W 111th St.
Plans for a memorial program for Mrs. Baer of the Beverly Hills-Morgan Park
neighborhood, are pending. She died Wednesday at home.
Mrs. Baer, daughter of immigrants from London, was born July 10, 1886 in Chicago. Because of a rheumatic heart, she received her grammar school education at home until she was 11. She then finished grade & high school in four years, graduating at age 15.
Her father was a close friend of William R Harper, who founded the University of Chicago. She was graduated from there in 1904, at age 18, after only three years of study. In the 1940s she returned to counsel other precocious students who were beginning their university studies at a younger than usual age.
She also was active with her husband, Arthur, in the school alumni & fundraising programs.
After graduation, she taught at Calumet High School, where Arthur Baer, her future husband, was at one point her student.
Mr Baer who owned a department store in Beverly starting in 1920, was for 30 years president & chairman of Beverly Bank & the Key figure in its acquiring four other area banks in the 1960s. “Together, they were a quiet motivating force for the cultural & economic growth of Beverly Hills,” said an article in the Beverly Review. In the 1960s, another Beverly resident Eleanor Pillsbury, joined the Baers in contributing seed money for the art center, which was established on the campus of Morgan Park Academy. The center houses a School of the Arts, the Vanderpoel art collection and the Arthur & Alice Baer Auditorium.
Mrs. Baer was named Woman of The year in 1976 by the Beverly Review.
She was on the boards of the Morgan Park Academy, Wyler Children’s Hospital and Beverly Art Center.
