The tragic death of Kenneth Archibald is the first to occur in the class since graduation. The deceased was the son of Rev. Dr. Andrew W. and Julia A. Archibald, and was born in Stuart, lowa, Feb. 25, 1880. He subsequently lived with his parents in Ottumwa, lowa, Andover, Mass., Davenport, lowa, and Hyde Park and Brockton, Mass. His college preparation was obtained at the high schools of Hyde Park and Brockton. In college he was prominent in athletics, and won his "D" as a pole vaulter; he was for three years a member of the athletic council. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta and the Casque and Gauntlet. After graduation he taught in Limerick (Me.) Academy and in Mercersburg (Pa.) Academy. In 1905 he traveled with his parents for six months to the Orient and through Europe. With his brother Cecil, of the class of '05, he established in their alma mater, in memory of an aunt, the “Mina H. Warren Prize Scholarship" of $1000, the annual income “to be awarded to that member of the graduating class, four years in attendance at Dartmouth College, and ranking highest in scholarship." On returning from his trip abroad, he went to Eastman's Business College in Poughkeepsie and took a commercial course to prepare him for a business career, upon which he entered in San Francisco in April, 1906. He was first bookkeeper for a hardware firm, and then connected himself with a real estate firm. Early in last June, he and three other young men went on a camping vacation in the high Sierras of Califorma. On June 20, he started out alone for an all-day climb where there are altitudes varying from ten to fourteen thousand feet. As he did not return in the evening, the next day his companions began a search, and not finding him they sent an alarm and a call for help out to civilization. They were soon joined by a dozen men, who for more than two weeks searched by day and slept on the ground wherever overtaken by night, but in vain. Subsequent searchers, attracted by an offered reward of $600, were no more successful. Whether he slipped into some rushing torrent or mountain lake, or fell from some dizzy height is still a mystery.
Secretary, W. C. Hill, 15 Lonsdale St , Ashmont, Mass.
