Arthur Machen, a distinguished Baltimore lawyer, died April 17, 2013.

Arthur was born in Baltimore and prepared at Gilman School. At Princeton he roomed with Bill Legg and joined Colonial Club. He majored in classics and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Following graduation he trained in the Navy Reserve and then served as an officer on the USS Massachusetts. He was discharged as a lieutenant.

After graduation from Harvard Law School, Arthur joined a Baltimore firm that shortly merged with Venable, Baetjer & Howard. He quickly established himself as skilled in corporate and securities law. He became a partner after six years with the firm and was a lawyer known for his good will and wit.

Arthur had a strong interest in providing legal services for the poor and was instrumental in setting up Maryland’s IOLTA (Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts), which provides funding for that activity. He also was dedicated to support of the Episcopal Church and served as chancellor of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland from 1972 to 1985.

Arthur is survived by Rose, his wife of 65 years; sons John ’73 and Henry; and five grandchildren. His son Peter died in 1970 of wounds he received in Vietnam.
