NECROLOGY

CLASS OF 1865

Rev. Henry Irving Cushman, secretary of this class since graduation, died of arteriosclerosis at his home in Providence, R. 1., September IS, 1927.

He was born in Orford, N. H., July 29, 1844, the son of Hartwell Coleman and Mary Ann (Earl) Cushman, and prepared for college at the high school of Chelsea, Mass. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Phi Beta Kappa.

Immediately after graduation he began preparation for the ministry, studying with Rev. Charles H. Leonard of Chelsea, Mass. May IS, 1867, he was ordained pastor of the Second Universalist church of Cambridge, Mass. In the spring of 1868 he left this church to become associate pastor of the Second Universalist church in Boston, where he remained until 187 S. He then became pastor of the First church in Providence, R. 1., where his resignation was reluctantly accepted in 1910, when he was made pastor emeritus. Being unwilling to retire from the work of the ministry, in September of that year he undertook a less arduous work with the church at East Providence, which he surrendered only in June, 1926. In September, 1910, he also became professor of homiletics at Crane Theological School connected with Tufts College, and performed the duties of this position for ten years. Tufts had bestowed upon him the degree of S. T. D. in 1887.

During his long ministry in Providence he participated freely in many forms of public life, and delivered addresses on many public occasions. He gave much time to general as well as denominational charitable work. For many years he was an officer of the Rescue Home Mission and of the Bethany Home. He was also a trustee of the Rhode Island Hospital and of the Rhode Island Historical Society, president of the Rhode Island Universalist Convention, secretary of the Rhode Island Sunday School Association, and vice-president of the Rhode Island Bible Society. He was secretary and later president of the trustees of Dean Academy at Franklin, Mass.

Dr. Cushman was married April 11, 1868, to Emiiy Eliza, daughter of Marcus Davis and Maria Malleville (Baldwin) Gilman of Montpelier, Vt., who died March 14, 189 S. They had six children, of whom three survive: Mrs. William G. Anthony of Providence, Robert C. Cushman, a lawyer of Boston, and Albert H. Cushman of New York. A second marriage, July 27, 1904, was to Lucy Daniels, daughter of Charles Earl and Adeline F. (Greene) Carpenter of Providence, who survives him.

At the funeral service held in the First church of Providence, the speaker commented upon "the modesty of Dr. Cushman that amounted to reticence," his child-like faith in the presence of God, and his hero-like fire when confronted with the issues of his Christian ministry. The burial was at Montpelier, Vt.

CLASS OF 1869

William Adams Lord died of heart disease at his home in Montpelier, Vt., during the night of August 20, 1927. He was found dead in his bed on the morning of the 21st.

He was born in Montpelier, August 28, 1849, the son of Rev. Dr. William Hayes (Dartmouth 1843) and Harriet Adams (Aiken) Lord. His father was the best known Vermont clergyman of his day, and the son of Nathan Lord, president of Dartmouth from 1828 to 1863. His other grandfather was John Aiken, Dartmouth 1819, and a great-grandfather was Prof. Ebenezer Adams, Dartmouth 1791. He prepared for college at Washington County Grammar School, Montpelier. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

After graduation he studied law, and had practiced in his native city since 1876. He was widely known and highly successful as a trial lawyer, and had been connected with many important civil and criminal cases. In his later years he did much corporation law work, and argued many cases before the Supeme Court of the state. He was gifted as a public speaker, and in middle life was called upon to deliver addresses on a great variety of subjects.

In politics he was an active worker for the Republican party, and began his political career by serving as reporter for the Vermont Senate in 1874, 1876, and 1878. He was city attorney for several years, and represented the city in the lower house of the state legislature in 1894 and 1896, being speaker in the latter year. He was national bank examiner from 1898 to 1900, and a member of the Senate in 1904. In 1904-6 he was chairman of the commission to revise the Vermont statutes, and in 1906-8 chairman of the board of editors of the revision. His last official position was that of city judge, which he held for a few years.

In 1883 he was married to Mrs. Lucy A. (Reynolds) Young, who died in 1893. In 1894 he was married to Mabel Louise Newcomb, who died August 22, 1923. A daughter, Miss Dorothy Lord, survives him.

CLASS OF 1871

Randolph McNutt died at the Markeen Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y„ July 22, 1927, of chronic nephritis.

The son of Dr. Hiram and Rebecca (Rexford) McNutt, he was born at Warrensburg, N. Y., May 31, 1851. The late Dr. Hiram E. McNutt '69 was a brother. He prepared at Warrensburg Academy for the Chandler Scientific Department, where he was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity (now Sigma Chi).

After graduation he studied law, graduating in 1873 from Albany Law School, and practiced for a few years in his native town, being also school commissioner for Warren county from 1877 to 1880. In 1884 he removed to Buffalo and entered the school furniture business as agent for a Western manufacturing firm. Later he identified himself with the American Seating Company, for whom he was up to the time of his death distributor for the entire state of New York. He conducted the business as a personal one until 1908, when it was incorporated as the Randolph McNutt Company, several of his former employees joining with him in the corporation. In 1902 he purchased the Markeen Hotel, whch he owned and where he lived up to the time of his death.

A Republican by conviction, Mr. McNutt never sought or accepted political office. He was a member of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, the Odd Fellows, the University Club, and the Athletic Club.

December 18, 1882, he was married to Evelyn Marihew of Hudson Falls, N. Y., who died April 3, 1924. They had no children, and Mr. McNutt's nearest relative is a niece living in Huron, S. D., a daughter of the brother mentioned above.

For many years he had shown a keen interest in all matters relating to Dartmouth Col'ege. In a quiet way he headed many Buffalo boys toward Hanover, and gave them whatever financial assistance was needed. He gave $60,000 to the College toward the enlargement of Hanover Inn. From 1918 to 1924 he held membership on the A'umni Council. And now by his will, after the payment of various specific legacies, the College becomes residuary legatee to his estate.

Asa Wilson Waters died in Cambridge, Mass., August 4, 1927.

He was born in Marietta, Ohio, March 4, 18S0, but his home after 1861 was in Cincinnati. He prepared for college in the preparatory school of Wabash Co'lege, Crawfordsville, Ind. In 1867 he entered Marietta College, whence he came to Dartmouth at the beginning of junior year. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

After graduation he studied law in Cincinnati, and graduated from the law school of Cincinnati College in 1874. He began practice there, and for several years following 1880 was solicitor of Hamilton county. In 188S he began making investments in real estate in Kansas City, Mo., which occupied so much of his time that he removed to that city in 1886. Financial reverses incident to the panic of 1893 were joined to a failure in health, and his law practice in Kansas City and later in Chicago was carried on with physical difficulty. In 1898 he was appointed receiver of the Chestnut Street National Bank of Philadelphia, and removed to that city, also resuming active legal practice. The receivership was successfully performed, and in 1906 the bank paid all its depositors in full. Mr. Waters then retired from practice, and removed to Cambridge, where he has since made his home. In 1906 he studied history and government in the graduate school of Harvard, receiving the degree of A. M. in 1907.

September 1, 1886, he was married to Nellie daughter of Dr. John Dawson of Columbus, Ohio, who died several years since. They had no children.

CLASS OF 1872

Dr. Joseph King Knight died at his home in Hyde Park, Mass., September 11, 1927.

The son of James and Martha (King) Knight, he was born September 14, 1849, in Newark, Ohio. For two years he was a member of the class of 1872 in the Chandler Scientific Department, and then went to Cornell, where, however, he did not remain to graduate. In 1912 he received the degree of B. S. from Dartmouth, and was enrolled as a graduate member of the class. He was a member of the Vitruvian fraternity (now Beta Theta Pi.)

After leaving college he at first engaged in business as a printer, and then studied dentistry, graduating from Boston Dental College in 1883, and practiced that profession for the rest of his active life, having offices in both Hyde Park and Boston. He also taught in Boston Dental College from 1889 to 1900, and then in Tufts Dental School to 1911.

In 1894 and 1895 he was chosen president of the Massachusetts Dental Society, and was also president of the Roxbury Dental Club. He had been a director of the Hyde Park Co-operative Bank, and vice-president and curator of the Hyde Park Historical Society. He was an active member of the First Congregational church of Hyde Park, in which he had held various offices. He was also connected with many Masonic organizations.

April 16, 1873, he was married to Lucy Angeline Leseur, who died in 1920. Two daughters survive their parents, Miss Mary Allston Knight and Mrs. G. Morgan King. A son, Joseph K, Jr., Dartmouth 1908, died in 1920.

Thomas Wilson Dorr Worthen died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Knapp, at Middletown Springs, Vt., on the morning of September 21, 1927, of arteriosclerosis. He had undergone two critical surgical operations in 1926, from which he made a remarkable recovery, and returned from the hospital to Concord in January last, apparently very well. But in May a serious heart trouble developed, causing him to stay in bed four weeks. He rallied from that, and the last week of July went to his daughter's home as an ideal place for his health, with inspiring influences of air and scenery and pleasant things that he could do out of doors without harmful risks. In June he had been very anxious to add one more score to his attendance at Dartmouth Commencements, having an unbroken record since 1869, but his physical condition forbade. The Alumni Association took note of this and by vote sent its recognition of his "untiring and valued activity in the service of the College for a period of nearly forty years," accompanied with its affectionate greetings.

About four weeks before his death a fresh manifestation of his serious heart trouble came and from that time on he steadily failed, until he passed into the richer and fuller life in which he had implicit confidence.

A committal service was held at the College Cemetery, Hanover, on Friday, September 23, at which Rev. Dr. Ambrose W. Vernon of the Dartmouth biographical department officiated, reading the service and paying a beautiful tribute to the deceased in the form of prayer, following which he recited the poem. "Crossing the Bar." Classmates of '72, Colby and E. J. Bartlett, President Hopkins and wife, a delegation from the Tri-Kappa fraternity, to which the deceased had belonged, members of the college faculty, and many old associates and friends attended the service.

There was a superb display of flowers, among which was a beautiful; wreath of lilies and asters from his class. A memorial service was held at the same hour at the South Congregational church, Concord, N. H., of which church Professor Worthen had been a member and deacon from the time when he took up his residence there in 1911.

This service consisted of appropriate music, and addresses by his pastor, Rev. Carl B. Bare, and Rev. Dr. George H. Reed, pastor of the North Congregational church, the latter speaking feelingly of the breadth of the fellowship and helpfulness of Mr. Worthen in the wide, general religious interests of the city, as well as in local public affairs, and Mr. Bare speaking earnestly of the support which came to his ministrations in finding from the first in Deacon Worthen a dependable man, whose co-operation was as free and constant as the rising sun. He spoke emphatically of the great variety of work in which the deceased assisted in connection with the parish, and the wider fields of missions and humanity, being a whole-hearted, earnest, capable, and versatile devotee of all good work, a man whose religious and charitable duties were just as much on his mind as those of business.

The deceased was born at Thetford, Vt., October 3, 1845, the eldest son of Elizabeth Chase and Joseph Hewes Worthen. His boyhood was spent upon a Vermont hill-farm, and he was introduced early to the duties which fa'l to the lot of a farmer's son. This shows the source of the "steel sinews and indomitable spirit" concealed "within an unimposing frame," which made him of "conspicuous and surprising usefulness" in checking the disposition of '7l in freshman year, as "E. J. 8.," Professor Bartlett, expresses it in his article on Classmate Worthen in the Class History of 1904.

The deceased began his long life as a teacher in a district school at Strafford, Vt., in 1865, and in 1866 and '67 he taught similar schools at Chelsea and Thetford, Vt., in 1869 at Boxford, Mass., in 1870 he was in the Danville (Vt.) Academy, and in the winters of 1870-71 and '72 he was principal of the Lebanon (N. H.) High School. Immediately after graduation from college he became principal of the Woodstock (Vt.) High School, where he remained for two years till called to Dartmouth.

For two years (1874-76) he was tutor in mathematics; for two years in Greek (1876-78) ; one year (1878-79) in Greek and mathematics; four years (1879-83) instructor in mathematics; for ten years (1883-93) associate professor of the latter science, and thereafter, Cheney professor of mathematics, until he resigned to accept the office of public service commissioner of New Hampshire in 1911, and became professor emeritus. As was well said in an editorial in the Manchester Union of September 22, "Holding a chair in one of the most difficult subjects in the curriculum, a professor of mathematics can easily acquire a reputation for severity, for being a hard taskmaster. The subject is hard, for most people it is a task. You are right or you are wrong. There is no way of presenting a half truth, half the answer, as in a history recitation, for example. Yet Professor Worthen rose superior to the handicaps of his chair, and was one of the most popular professors in Dartmouth College." He did a great amount of executive work in connection with the administration of the College; served as clerk of the faculty, as inspector and superintendent of buildings, on the committee on athletics; for years had charge of the Gymnasium. "In a word, he was one of the most indispensable men connected with the College.' These facts and many others are culled from the article of "E. J. B." mentioned above.

"His familiarity with both secondary and college teaching, and his pointed and earnest manner of discourse * * * * made him an especially desirable speaker at teachers' institutes in Vermont and New Hampshire, and he addressed a large number of such assemblies."

From the establishment of the Dartmouth Summer School in 1899, he became and continued to be the director until 1911.

He was a trustee of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, of the Howe Library, of Thetford Academy, a member of the Dartmouth Scientific Association, of the American Mathematical Society, and chairman of the board of trustees of the Concord Public Library.

He was held in such esteem at Hanover that in 1904 he was chosen representative to the General Court on the Democratic ticket by a good majority vote, although the normal vote of that town was about three to one in favor of the Republicans, and no Democrat had been sent to the General Court for twenty-six years from Hanover.

When he accepted the office of public service commissioner, compulsory retirement at seventy from being an instructor at college was approaching. His first term on the commission was only for two years, but he was reappointed for two succeeding terms of six years each, carrying his service down into 1925.

This was practically a judicial office, involving decisions of fact and law, although the technical rules of evidence were not binding, and its orders were subject to appeal to the Superior Court.

The traditional ideas expressed in the state constitution that justices of courts in New Hampshire should not hold office after they arrived at the age of seventy years probably moved the governor to follow the influence of analogy and that of the natural disabilities in prospect after one passes the age of four-score years, accordingly he appointed a successor to Mr. Worthen in 1925. Worthen became a member of this commission when it came into existence to supersede the railroad commission, the function of the latter being multiplied in this new board to take regulative jurisdiction over all the public utilities in the state. Two able lawyers, Messrs. Benton and Niles, were joined with Mr. Worthen, making a very fit and thoroughly capable board. Ezra S. Stearns, for many years secretary of state of New Hampshire, in his genealogical work of 1908 forecasted the characteristics of service that Worthen would show in any public office in these words: "He is distinctly a man of affairs, energetic, practical, reliable, and he has always given freely of his abundant energy to the community. He has never been a office seeker, but wherever hard work was to be done without pay he has been ready."

The Boston Transcript of September 22, speaking of a single feature of his service as commissioner, says, "He became a leading authority on the regulation of public utility rates, and was repeatedly member and chairman of the most important committees of the National Association of Public Utility Commissioners." An editorial in the ManchesterUnion of the same date says, "He gave the state a high order of service, service that a man of high intelligence and high character would give."

The mathematical qualifications of this superior scholar soon became of indispensable importance and value to this board in questions of rates, and he proved to be an allaround helper in all the great variety of questions that puzzled their minds.

He was a remarkably industrious man outside of his occupational work. He always found time to cultivate a good-sized garden, having especial success in celery. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and gooseberries had a fair amount of space, and his garden of crocuses, tulips, dahlias, and many other flowers, especially roses, his pride, turned up radiant faces wherever his home.

All know his athletic feats of strength in the Gymnasium. In outdoor sports, he played tennis well in his early days. Of fishing for brook trout he was passionately fond, and had innumerable stories which he told to his boys of his experiences in that line, of which they were never weary, and at the age of almost eightyone, in 1926, with his sons as companions he traveled through Vermont and New Hampshire, fishing many trout streams, stopping at night at any farm house that they happened to be near, and up and off at early sunrise,—until they rounded up 'at the Connecticut Lakes, where they took a three-mile tramp into the wilderness, with a guide, for trout waters more primeval. The father was just as fresh as the sons at the end of this fishing trip, and all as "hard as nails."

August 2, 1874, he married Miss Louisa Wilcox of Post Mills, Vt, who died Mar. 1, 1878, leaving a daughter, Louisa Wilcox, born February 23 of the same year. She graduated from Smith in 1901, B. S., taught four years in the University of New York, worked as chemist in Worcester, Mass., nine years, did post-graduate work at Cornell for two years, taking courses in dietetics, sanitation, domestic and social science, then worked along those lines in Worcester several years, and now is in Boston, her occupation, house superintendent.

June 22, 1885, Mr. Worthen married Miss Elizabeth Almira Washburn of Woodstock, Vt., daughter of Peter Thacher Washburn, Dartmouth 1835, governor of Vermont. The children of this marriage are Thacher Washburn, born at Woodstock, Vt., September 19, 1886; Joseph Washburn, born at Hanover, January 21, 1888; and Mary, born at Hanover, May 17, 1892.

Thacher W., Dartmouth 1907, A. B. and A.M., and M. D. in 1911, spent three and half years in New York hospitals and half a year in German hospitals, where he was caught at the beginning of the War and for five months had to perform surgical operations, etc. He began practice as a surgeon, 1915, at Hartford, Conn., where he continues to practice with success. He married Mary Paine, May 6, 1915, and they have four children, Elizabeth S., Mary, Frederick P., and Emily W. Thacher W. volunteered in the war, and was commissioned lieutenant in the Medical Corps a short time before the armistice was signed.

Joseph W., Dartmouth 1909, A. 8., B. C. L. Oxford 1913, Rhodes Scholar, one year in Harvard Law School, 1909-10, practiced law in Boston, 1913-14, Concord, N. H., 1914-19, is a member of the law firm of Holmes and Worthen, practicing in Boston since 1919. He married Dorothy Bullard, August 7, 1915, and they have four children, Mary, Thomas, Joan, and Palmer B. Thomas is seven years old and named after his grandfather.

Joseph W., on presentation for enlistment in the World War, was rejected, and also subsequently on his waiver of all draft exemptions and deferments, the cause of the rejection being his defective eyesight. His entire time from then on until the armistice was devoted to his work as industrial adviser to the District Board, and assistant secretary of the New Hampshire Committee on Public Safety.

Mary Worthen, daughter of the second marriage, was born at Hanover, N. H., May 17, 1892, graduated from Smith in 1913, with B. A. degree, and married Gray Knapp, June 26, 1915. He is a poultryman, carrying on that business on a large scale. They have two children, Jane and Waldo.

Mr. Worthen was selected to act as agent of his class in 1906, to solicit and collect gifts from it for the Tucker Alumni Scholarship Fund, and later in 1913, when the scope was enlarged by the Alumni Association, and the Alumni Council was authorized to form a committee to solicit and collect funds annually from Dartmouth men, he was appointed by the Council to the work in the case of his class. From 1906 to 1927, inclusive, he was very successful in the work, and in the 1927 result down to June 17, when he reported to the writer, his class stood second in percentage above its quota.

Before closing, the temptation to summarize this imperfect sketch of the life of one of Dartmouth's distinguished and most useful sons is almost irresistible, but we must consider that those who read are amply qualified to do that, and that the temptation to express warm admiration for the man, and give to this condensed narration of his services proper fullness, derived from personal knowledge, will be irresistible to those who think and feel as true "Men of Dartmouth."

CLASS OF 1875

Levi Claypool Montgomery died at his home at Lone Pine, Newark, Ohio, July 29, 1927, after an illness of nearly a year.

He was born in Newark, November 20, 1850, the son of Charles and Elinda (Claypool) Montgomery. The late Thomas W. Mont- gomery '74 and Charles A. Montgomery '75 were his brothers. He prepared for college at Denison University, Granville, Ohio, and was a member of the class of '75 in the Chandler Scientific Department during sophomore and junior years.

Mrs. Montgomery writes the class secretary that during his last illness Mr. Montgomery often spoke of the pleasant friendship with his dear old classmates.

CLASS OF 1876

Samuel Couver Gamble died of diabetes at his home in Circleville, Ohio, August 12, 1927.

He was born in New Holland, Ohio, January 19, 1851, his parents being Gideon C. and Effie Gamble, and prepared for college at Bloomingburg, Ohio. He was a member of Psi Upsilon and of the Glee Club.

For three years after graduation he was senior teacher in the State Institution for the Blind at Columbus, Ohio, and then studied for two years at Cincinnati Law School, where he graduated in 1881.

In 1882 he began practice in Circleville, where he followed his profession continuously until stricken with the fatal illness a few weeks before his death. A Republican in a strongly Democratic county, he was at various times an unsuccessful candidate for elective offices. In 1914 he was appointed examiner of titles under the Torrens law, and in 1915 district assessor for Pickaway county.

July 24, 1888, he was married to Rose C., daughter of G. F. Wittich of Circleville, who survives him. There were no children. The following is taken from the local newspaper:

"Mr. Gamble was one of the most highly respected citizens of the community in which he dwelt. He did not choose to engage in the strenuous work of the advocate and trial lawyer, but devoted himself to the important but quieter phases of the practice, and became an eminent authority upon the law of real property. His opinion was highly valued and much sought on questions of title and the construction of wills and in matters of touching the administration of the estates of deceased persons. For many years preceding his death he was identified with various building and loan companies of the city as director and attorney, and many hundreds of thousands of dollars were invested without loss by these companies by reason of his sound business judgment and legal learning. He encouraged and assisted many a poor man in the city of Circleville to purchase a home. Mr. Gamble possessed a strong and pleasing personality, and was devoted to his family and friends. Honest and faithful, the remembrance of his exemplary character and life, with its fine traits and qualities, will abide with us as an inspiration forever."

In the academy he formed a warm friendship with Ed Allen, whose brother, F. J. Allen, was a Dartmouth graduate in the class of 'B9. The combined influence of the older Allen and their teacher, Moore, sent the two boys to Dartmouth.

Allen 'B9 had married the daughter of Professor Charles H. Hitchcock, and the two boys were given a room in his house. Adams remained at Dartmouth for two years, at the end of which time he transferred to Bowdoin, where he received the degree of A.B. with the class of '99.

During his two years at Dartmouth, Win, or "Cig," as he was affectionately called by his friends, became very popular with his classmates. He was prominent in all things musical. He was recognized as a genius. He was one of those fellows who can play any tune on any instrument in any key. At Bowdoin he was elected leader of the Glee Club, which office he held through his senior year. He also made the Bowdoin track team.

After graduation from Bowdoin, he entered his father's store in Limerick, as a partner. In 1907, however, he moved to Boston, where he put his musical talents to work. For four years he was church soloist and teacher of voice. In 1911 he went with the Coward Auto Supply House in Boston, and afterwards with the Atwood Auto Lamp Company. In 1919 he became president of the Winburn B. Adams Company, Inc., in Arlington, dealers in auto supplies and wholesale hardware.

He is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Lucinda Dyer of Limerick, and by his aged mother, who still lives in his old home.

"Cig's" brilliant talents were always at the service of '99. It was he who composed the famous "Arcady" song, and wrote the music for many lyrics in our hymnal.

A classmate, who has requested that his name be not given, but whose style will be instantly recognized by most of the class, has contributed this most fitting eulogy: "The world for '99 is an emptier, drabber, less tuneful, a far less merry place to be in since "Cig" Adams left it. None of us will ever think of a '99 round-up or reunion without thinking of Cig, with his music and his smile, his radiant happiness in being with us, his glowing pride when he heard of our little individual successes in the world, his curative sympathy in our defeats.

"The General Catalogue of the Alumni used to list Cig as a non-graduate. Technically, according to the college records, this was correct, for it is true that he was with us physically, in Hanover only two years or so, having received his degree with the class of 1899 at Bowdoin, where he was on the track team and leader of the Glee Club. Despite the listing in the Alumni Catalogue, and his lack of a Dartmouth diploma, he was always with us, and of us, from the night of the football rush at the opening of college our freshman year, down to the day of his death, and he will be Ninetynine's, as long as our last survivor lives, and longer.

"His full name was Winburn Bowdoin Adams, and he once whimsically, but truly, said, that though Bowdoin by name and Bowdoin by diploma, he was entirely Dartmouth '99 at heart.

"Cig was a true lover of '99. To him the class was a real living personality, which brought to him great and abiding happiness; to which he gave without stint of his fine talents and constant devotion.

"In losing its ardent loyalist, the composer of our music, the singer of our songs, the leader of our singing, much, indeed, has gone from us. But so great and fine and generous was the soul of this dead lover of '99, that he has left with us a treasure of joyful memories, a legacy of loyalty."

CLASS OF 1903

Mark Bruce Wiley was born December 6, 1880, at St. Albans, Vt. After being graduated from the St. Albans High School, he entered the class of 1903, staying with the class for several years. While at Dartmouth he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, was vice-president of the class, and a member of the College Debating Team, was business manager of 1903 Aegis, one of the editors of The Dartmouth, and a member of the Athletic Council.

After leaving Hanover, Wiley engaged in the newspaper business. After being with the Boston Post for a few years, he moved to New York, where he became an associate editor of the Sunday American. Still later he was editor of the Tribune Syndicate, later known as the Johnson Features Syndicate.

Although he has been suffering more or less for a number of years from heart trouble, Wiley appeared to be in very fair health on September 9, when he died suddenly at his home in Nutley, N. J., where he had very recently moved. The clergyman officiating at the funeral services was Rev. Robert C. Falconer 190S, who is also a resident of Nutley. Wiley is survived by a brother, Frederick P. Wiley, and also by his aged mother, Mrs. Villa Billings Wiley, both of Nutley, N. J.

To those of us who remember Mark's pleasant disposition and sturdiness of character, the memory of his passing will come as a distinct shock.

The class has suffered the loss of another very loyal member in the death of Franklin Crosse on September 13, 19271. He had been having a half-year abroad on leave of absence. He had his family with him and spent most of his time in Paris, taking courses at the Sorbonne and work with one or two French professors along the lines of his life work.

He was taken ill two days before they sailed for home, and his wife the day after they sailed, and it was not until they were nearing home that their trouble was diagnosed as typhoid fever. Both Crosse and his wife were taken from the steamer in New York to the hospital on August 31. At that time he was full of courage and felt certain that he would be back home in a few weeks. For some time past he had been bothered with intestinal trouble, and the typhoid took a particularly virulent form. At the time of his death Mrs. Crosse was too ill to be told, but she is making slow recovery at the time of this writing.

Franklin Crosse was born in Boston, Mass., January 16, 1881, but spent his early life in Maine and in New York, getting part-of his fit for college in the high school at Lewiston, Me., and part in the Boys' High School, Brooklyn, N. Y. He entered Dartmouth with our class in the fall of 1899. He had to work his way through college to a large extent, but in spite of this maintained Phi Beta Kappa rank. He returned to Dartmouth for a postgraduate year, 1904, and received his A. M., teaching in the Hanover High School meantime. He then taught in the Wakefield, Mass., High School, leaving there to take a position in the Paterson, N. J., High School, and then went to the Barringer High School, Newark, N. J., where he has taught French and German.

He had signal ability in handling youth. Anybody who had the pleasure of entertaining him in his home knows what a magnet he was to all young children and how completely he captivated them. This same power carried over into his high school work, where his personality was so effective in the day's work. Crosse has always been a strong and successful teacher and has edited several text-books. He was planning as a result of his life work and of his experience while abroad this past year to produce a text-book in beginning French for secondary schools.

In 1908 and 1909 he spent over a year in Germany, studying in Leipsic and Jena. On June 30, 1908, he married Line B. Dillistin, a graduate of Swarthmore College and a teacher in the schools of New Jersey. They had one boy, Howard Dillistin, who entered Dartmouth this fall, and one daughter, Barbara Jane.

For his work during the Great War, Crosse received the French decoration of the Academic Palms, with the title of Officier d'Academie.

During the Crosses' last half-year abroad Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Avery had a delightful visit with them, as did the Kenersons. Not for years have we had the opportunity for the long and intimate visits with classmates that we had with them. Their affectionate regard for and interest in all the class was so manifest. They looked back upon our Twentieth Reunion with a great deal of happiness, and were looking forward with pleasure to our reunion in Hanover next June.

Affectionate and sincere, Crosse has run a good race, and served his day and generation in a way that perhaps is not given to some of us in other walks of life. To his wife and children, as ever a part of our class family, we extend our sincere sympathy.

CLASS OF 1908

Jasper Sprague Dunham died at his home in Yakima, Wash., May 22, 1927. Some seven months before he had been operated on for a gastric ulcer. Planning a trip to Europe with his family, as a preparation he had his tonsils removed to remove all possible sources of poison in his system. Three days later thrombosis of the mesentery artery appeared, and proved fatal.

He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., October 21, 1885, his parents being Jasper T. and Mary Emily (Sprague) Dunham, and he prepared for college at the Boys' High School of that city. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.

After graduation he went to the state of Washington, and for a time held a business position in Spokane. Later he entered the fruit business, and in 1921 removed to Yakima. Since 1920 he had been in business for himself as wholesale fruit shipper and had met with unusual success, holding an enviable reputation for ability and integrity. He was a member of the Kiwanis Club and the First Presbyterian church, serving as trustee of the latter for eight years and as a member of the building committee engaged in the erection of a $250,000 church edifice.

Mrs. Dunham says: "His loyalty to Dartmouth has been outstanding. He especially enjoyed his class reunions, and insisted in taking the two boys back to the last one, so that they too could get the Dartmouth spirit."

CLASS OF 1909

Joseph Cleveland Brusse, who died at Mercy Hospital, Chicago, June 21, 1927, was born in Denver, Colo., September 23, 1884, and graduated from West Denver High School in 1904. His parents were John C. and Jessie (Wooldridge) Brusse.

4-fter leaving college he was successively connected with the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company at Debeque, Colo., the Continental Motors Company at Detroit and Muskegon, Mich., the Texas Motor Cars Association at Fort Worth, Texas, the Sweet Motors Company and the Mountain States Tel. and Tel. Company at Denver, the Pennsylvania Rubber Company, and finally with the Stein, Hall Manufacturing Company of Chicago as superintendent and purchasing agent.

June S, 1918, he married Matilda, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Giddings of Brenham, Texas. They had two children: Frances Louise, born November 30, 1919, died September 15, 1924; Joseph C., Jr., born April 7, 1921.

The following was written by his classmate Jack Childs of Chicago: "A short time before Joe's death, he contracted appendicitis( and had to go to the hospital for an operation. Later, his colon became infected and this infection spreading through his system was what caused his death.

"Up until his coming to Chicago about two years ago, I hadn't seen Joe since we all left Hanover back in 1909. As soon as Joe landed here he started to look up the Dartmouth crowd. He found out that we held our lunches every Monday noon, and he came out the first Monday he was here. That was the largest crowd of Dartmouth men Joe had seen since he left Hanover, and in a little speech he made (this is customary for new men coming to Chicago) he said he was enjoying himself more than he had in years.

"It was a few days after this that I had Joe out for dinner, and we had a chance to have a good 'beef'. Joe appeared much more serious than he had been in College, and I found out that his life had been touched with sorrow and some misfortune. After graduation he had gone West. Here he had several business connections and also did some coaching. Before he came to Chicago he was located in Brenham, Texas. He married a Miss Giddings, and they had two children, a girl, and a boy named after him. The big tragedy in Joe's life was the loss of his little girl. He never got over it.

"Joe had a hard time getting started in Chicago. He had several different positions, but none of them seemed to pan out. Most of the time Joe was here, his wife was down in Texas with young Joe, so he had to struggle alone. Finally, this spring he went out to see Louis Leverone 'O4, who is vice-president and general manager of the Stein, Hall Manufacturing Company. Louis gave him a job in the factory, and Joe was working there when he died.

"Louis told me that when Joe started to work he was very quiet and kept to himself, but before he was taken sick had begun to enter into the spirit of things, playing ball with the boys, etc. He was also tackling his job in good shape, and was scheduled for a raise in pay on July 1. It looked like good fortune was coming his way, and he would soon have his little family up here with him.

"Then came the twist of fate that took Joe from us. At that time his wife was sick in Texas, and it wasn't certain whether she would live. Louis hesitated to notify her of Joe's death, for fear the shock would be too much for her, but this had to be done. I believe she has now recovered.

"The remains were shipped to Brenham, Texas, where the burial was held. Floral wreaths from the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago, Beta Theta Pi, Joe's fraternity, and the Alumni Council were sent down there. Mrs. Brusse wrote us a nice note thanking us, and saying that some day she might ask our association to help little Joe get into Dartmouth.

"One day at a Dartmouth lunch, a character reader gave us a little talk, and when he got through he picked out several of the fellows and outlined their characteristics. Speaking about Joe he said, 'There is a man who takes life very seriously. He has had trouble and grief. What he must do is not worry so much and smile more.' I thought that was pretty sound advice for most of us."
