DEATH OF N. K. PEARCE '19

Norman Kingsley Pearce '19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edward Pearce of Lawrence, Massachusetts, died of pleurisy at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital April 15, following an illness of only four days.

Pearce was a prominent undergraduate, and his sudden death came as a shock to the whole community. He entered Dartmouth as a freshman two and a half years ago, from Phillips Andover Academy. He was born on August 3, 1897, and lived in Lawrence, attending the high school there before going to Andover. At College he immediately won for himself a host of friends, drawn to him by his wit, his cheerfulness, and his unfailing good humor. Scholastically, he was a student of high rank, attaining an average through his entire-courses well over 2.5. In undergraduate activities he was Business Manager of the Dramatic Association, a member of the editorial staff of the 1919 Aegis, and a letter man on the soccer team during the last two seasons. He was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, the Dragon senior society, the Footlights, and the Arts.
