CLASS OF 1863

REV. DR. AZEL WASHBURN HAZEN died July 4,1928, at his home in Middletown, Conn. He was born in Berlin, Vt., April 10, 1841, the son of Rev. Austin and Lucia (Washburn) Hazen. His father was a graduate of Dartmouth in 1807, and his maternal grandfather was Rev. Azel Washburn of the class of 1786. Allen Hazen of the class of 1842 was a half- brother, and Lucius R. Hazen '70 a brother. He prepared for college at Royalton and Barre (Vt.) Academies, maintained a high standard for scholarship, and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank.

For two years after graduation he was principal of the high school at East Randolph (now Holbrook), Mass. He then entered Hartford Theological Seminary, where he remained two years, then going to Andover Seminary, where he graduated in 1868.

Upon his graduation from the seminary he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Congregational church in Middletown, Conn., and never had another pastorate, retiring and becoming pastor emeritus in 1916. For some time after his retirement he was engaged in waiting a history of the church, which is a book of great historical value. Until quite recently he had preached occasionally and assisted at various religious services, his last public service being on Memorial Day at a near-by cemetery.

In 1866 Mr. Hazen delivered the Master's Oration at Dartmouth, a feature of the Commencement of that time, and received the degree of A.M. in course. In 1888 the College conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was a trustee of Hartford Seminary from 1874 to 1898, and for many years a trustee of Wesleyan University. He was instrumental in founding the Middlesex County Historical Society, and was long its president. He was also a trustee of Russell Library in Middletown.

September 1, 1869, he was married to Mary Butler, daughter of Rev. Dr. William and Eliza W. (Butler) Thompson of Hartford, Conn., who died in 1926. They had two daughters who died in infancy, and one son, Maynard Thompson Hazen, who is a lawyer in Hartford.

An editorial in the Middletown paper said:

"Tenth pastor of the ancient First Church, he was its teacher and comforter for nearly half a century. As the church was so much of Middletown's life in the past, so Dr. Hazen came to be to the community almost the church itself. Blest with a touch of humor, always kindly in purpose, he endeared himself to many outside the flock, while his retirement from the pastorate seemed to many in the church almost its end."

CLASS OF 1867

ARTHUR WINTHROP DUDLEY died at his home in Brentwood, N. H., August 21, 1928, after a long period of impaired health.

He was born in Brentwood, July 22, 1846, the only son of Winthrop H. and Mary F. (Robinson) Dudley. He was in the eighth generation of lineal descent from Governor Thomas Dudley and from Governor John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, in the eighth generation from Judge Edward Hilton, founder of Dover, N. H., and in the seventh from Col. Winthrop Hilton, killed in battle with Indians. On his mother's side he was in the sixth generation from Rev. Dr. Samuel Shepard, founder of Baptist churches in southeastern New Hampshire. He prepared for the Chandler Scientific Department at Pinkerton Academy, Derry. He was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity, now Sigma Chi.

The year following his graduation he went to Chicago and took an engineering position with the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad. The following spring he was sent to its Western Division in Nebraska as division engineer on construction. There he remained until October, when a severe attack of pneumonia left him in such condition that he was compelled to return to his home. For more than a year he was unable to work. He was then employed as assistant engineer on the New York and New Haven Railroad with headquarters at Bridgeport, Conn., until obliged to return home to care for his father and aged grandparents. In August, 1880, he went to Florida, where he remained for nearly seven years, first as engineer of location, then as superintendent of construction, and finally as chief engineer of the Jacksonville, Tampa, and Key West Railroad. Later he was employed in preliminary surveys for the Florida East Coast Railroad.

In 1887 he returned to Brentwood, and for eight years carried on the home farm, which has been in Dudley ownership since the original grant in early colonial times. During this period he did more or less engineering having charge of the completion of the Exeter water works and making surveys for the Derry system, for the Derry and Chester Electric Railway, and for the proposed change of the Concord and Portsmouth Railroad to pass through Exeter.

In 1895 he went to Manchester to take charge with the city engineer, Joseph B. Sawyer, of large extensions of its water system. In 1897, at Mr. Sawyer's retirement, he took over his office and engineering work, which he conducted until his retirement in 1921. During this period he designed nearly fifty municipal water sytsems in New Hamp- shire and other New England states and directed their construction.

Mr. Dudley had served Brentwood as selectman, highway agent, member of the school board, and library trustee. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1889, and as a Republican represented the town in the legislatures of 1895 and 1897, in the former serving as chairman of the committee on highways and bridges and in the latter of incorporations. In 1899 Governor Rollins appointed him a member of the commission which laid out the Ocean Boulevard. He made plans and surveys for this, and had charge of the construction of a section in Rye. In 1912 Governor Bass appointed him a member of the Public Service Commission to serve on cases in which regular members of the commission were disqualified to serve by previous connection with interested parties, and he was also appointed by Governor Bass a delegate to the first good roads congress at Richmond, Va., in December, 1911, and to the convention of the American Road Builders' Association at Cincinnati in December, 1912. In 1900 he was a special agent to collect statistics of manufacturing and mechanical industries in New Hampshire. Mr. Dudley had for 56 years been a member of East Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and was the first master of Keeneborough Grange at Brentwood. He was well informed on matters of local history and genealogy. He was a frequent contributor to the Exeter Newsletter on a wide range of topics. He had made a careful study of the visits of the early Norsemen to his section, and had published a pamphlet on the subject. In church affiliations he was a Congregationalist.

In 1872 Mr. Dudley was married to Mary I. Lamprey of Moultonboro, N. H., who died in 1880, leaving three children, Fred L., now at Randolph, Vt., district highway commissioner, Mary F. dietitian of Boston City Hospital, and John H. of Brentwood. In 1881 he was married to Clara M. Hook of Brentwood, who survives him.

For several years Mr. Dudley had been serving as secretary of his class, and in spite of poor health was present at the Secretaries' Meeting in May.

CLASS OF 1871

EDWARD GILES LEACH was stricken with a sudden attack at his law office on Monday, July 23, 1928, and died July 30 at his home in Franklin, N. H.

The son of Levi and Susan (Sanborn) Leach, he was born at Meredith, N. H., January 28, 1849.

His father and elder brother enlisted in Company I of the 12th New Hampshire Regiment, the latter dying in the service from typhoid fever. He himself tried to enlist, but on account of his youth and the need for him to care for his mother and run the farm he was rejected. He fitted for college at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, N. H., and with fourteen classmates from that famous old school entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1867. During summer vacations he served as clerk at the Crawford House in the White Mountains, and in this way earned enough to pay for his education, and graduated free of debt. In college he took good rank as a student, finding time, however, for his full share of the sports and amusements of college life. His fraternities were Delta Kappa and Kappa Kappa Kappa.

After graduation he studied law in the office of Hon. Daniel Barnard at Eranklin, N. H., was admitted to the bar in 1874, and ever afterwards practiced his profession in Franklin and Concord, N. H. Even as a student Mr. Barnard paid him a liberal salary, and upon his admission to the bar received him as a partner upon very favorable terms. This lasted until 1879, when he formed a partnership with Henry W. Stevens (Dartmouth, 1875) under the name of Leach and Stevens, with offices in Franklin and Concord, which continued for forty years and was said to be the oldest law firm in the state. In recent years his partner has been his son, Judge Eugene W. Leach.

He was a representative in the state legis- lature in 1893 and 1895, chairman of the house committee on revision of statutes in 1893 and chairman of the house judiciary committee in 1895; member of the state senate and chairman of the senate judiciary committee in 1899; and member of the governor's council in 1903-5. The following tribute is quoted from the Manchester Union:

"The late Edward G. Leach, former mayor of Franklin, had a long and not- able record both of professional activity and of public service. In practice as a lawyer for more than half a century, he was one of the group of remarkably able men who conferred distinction on the Franklin bar and gave it a high place in the legal annals of the state. Mr. Leach was of the old school, his devotion to the tasks he undertook being illustrated by the statement that in fifty-four years he never took a vacation of the sort nowa-days regarded as essential for the professional or business man. In his practice he was very successful, and although he had reached his eightieth year he was regularly at his office up to the beginning of his brief fatal illness.

"One of his outstanding qualities was a vigorous independence, joined with the courage of his convictions. This he illustrated both in public and private life. As mayor, it is recalled, he initiated a campaign for higher taxation of corporations in spite of the fact that he had large personal investments. He was also an important factor in the struggle for lower electric rates. His interests were many and diversified, among them being insurance. He was one of the founders of the first mutual company established in the state, and he held its presidency up to the time of his death.

"Mr. Leach filled a large place in the affairs of the community, and his passing means a great loss to Franklin and to the state."

A classmate, Hon. Jonathan Smith, writes as follows about him:

"I liked Ed Leach in college, and my estimation of him grew and strengthened with the years. After graduation he took a very high stand both as a lawyer and as a citizen. He was a fine type of Dartmouth man, able, straight, public- spirited, and devoted to all that was best in the community. He was an honor to the class, and reflected great credit on the college that trained him. This is certainly a better world for his having lived in it, and he left a record of which his class may well be proud."

In 1918 and 1919 he was mayor of Franklin. For several years he was on the board of park commissioners, and took great interest in promoting playground work and athletics. Baseball was one of his real hobbies, and he missed few games played in Franklin by schoolboys or semi-professional teams. Trout- fishing was another favorite pastime during the last twenty-five years. He was an organizer of the Franklin Unitarian church, and was one of its trustees and its clerk for many years. He was a member of the Masonic order, including Mt. Horeb Commandery, Knights Templar.

December 24, 1874, he married Agnes A. Robinson, sister of a classmate, Eugene M. Robinson, who survives him, with their two sons, Judge Eugene W. Leach (Dartmouth, 1901) of Concord, N. H., and Robert M. Leach (Dartmouth, 1902) of Taunton, Mass., a former congressman from Massachusetts and the past summer a candidate for nomination for lieutenant governor of the Bay State, Six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren also survive him.

CLASS OF 1872

AUGUSTINE VINTON BARKER died August 20, 1928, at Bradenton, Fla., where he had lived since 1909. He was born at Lovell, Me., June 20, 1849, the son of Abraham A. and Orsina (Little)) Barker. Two generations of his father's ancestors served in the same company in the War of the Revolution, and on his mother's side he was a grandson of Rev. Valentine Little of Salisbury, N. H., Dartmouth, 1811. His ancestors on both sides came from England in 1630 and settled in Newburyport. His father, at the age of thirty-eight, attracted by the oak timber in Pennsylvania, moved with his family from Lovell, Me., to Cambria county, Pa., in 1854, and two years later to Ebensburg, in the same county, where he acquired large interests in the county and wielded a powerful influence in the community for about half a century. He was an abolitionist, and was associated with Neal Dow of Maine in the prohibition

movement; also a member of the convention that nominated Lincoln in 1860, four years later a member of Congress, serving with distinction during the reconstruction period after the Civil War, and died in 1898 in his 82d year.

Judge Barker served as a drummer in the emergency troops when his state was threatened with invasion in 1862 and 1863, participating in the battle of Antietam, and in several skirmishes, and became a prominent member of the G. A. R.

He prepared for college in academies at North Bridgton and Norway, Me., and, entering college in June, 1868, graduated with the degree of A. 8., and in 1875 was awarded the degree of A. M. In the fall of 1872 he registered as a student of law in the office of E. W. Evans of Chicago, father of W. W. Evans of '72 ,was admitted to practice in the courts of Philadelphia in August, 1874, and practiced there with distinction, being attorney for the Pennsylvania Railroad and other corporations, and for a large clientage, until November, 1890, when he was appointed president judge of Cambria county to fill a vacancy caused by the death of his predecessor.

In November, 1891, he was elected on the Republican ticket to the same office for a term of ten years by a large majority vote, although the district up to the time had been overwhelmingly Democratic, Under the judical system of his state he presided over the civil, criminal, equitable, and probate courts in his district. At the expiration of his term he resumed the practice of law in partnership with his son, Frederick D., but in 1909 gave it up, other important affairs engaging his attention with fresher interest. It was said of him as a judge that he was recognized in the state as one of their ablest jurists; that in the eleven years in which he presided as judge his decisions on law were reversed but three times by the appellate courts of the state.

He was a successful business man, the chief promoter of the First National Bank of Ebensburg, established in 1895, a bank of whose record-rank he was justly very proud. He was director and vice-president of the Johnstown Trust Company from its organization in 1903, and soon after he bought a home in 1909 at Bradenton, Fla., he became a director of the Bradenton Trust Company.

As a pioneer he was identified with the development of bituminous coal mining in Cambria County and lived to witness its progress to millions of tons annually.

He became a conspicuous factor in his community, always approachable and democratic, influential in politics, practical and helpful as a citizen.

This sketch of a distinguished and useful life would be quite incomplete unless it mentioned the social qualities which secured a host of friends wherever he went. He was especially interesting to young people, because he understood their point of view and adapted himself to it, and sincerely sought to add to their happiness by his own congeniality and by joining in their amusements.

The out-of-door life appealed to him strongly. He visited the Far West for elkhunting and trout-fishing, and often in his later years came to his native state to lure brook trout, canoe over its waters, and rest and sleep in its log cabins. Florida fishing in his motor boats, with his son and many friends, suited him especially because of the "thrills" from tarpon, king-fish, jacks, channel bass, and other "runners."

From 1916 to 1927 he indulged in extensive tours, spending three months in South America on the west and east coasts; over a month on a trip to Alaska, and nearly two months on a cruise with his grandson, William, to Iceland, the fjords and North Cape of Norway, and a detour to France to visit Flouville, where his son laid down his life in Red Cross work.

The judge was devotedly attached to "Old Dartmouth," contributing liberally to the "Tucker Fund" annually, and in 1926 made a giftjof $20,000 to the college for the maintenance of a graduate fellowship in memory of his son's heroic sacrifice on the "field of honor."

The will of the deceased names the College as residuary legatee of what remains to be paid over of the estate upon failure of issue to take by reason of the death of the last survivor.

He married Miss Kate M. Zahm, June 1, 1875, who died January 17, 1915, a most estimable woman, profoundly interested in her church work and many institutional matters. To them were born six children, of whom only two survive the Judge, Mrs. Lovell Maine Gates, wife of Frank S. Gates of Williamsport, Pa., and Mrs. Helen B. Land, wife of Harry L. Land of Bradenton, Fla. The Judge's son, Frederick D. Barker, a lieutenant in the American Red Cross, was killed by shrapnel, October 14, 1918, in the St. Mihiel offensive in the Argonne, and was cited in the general orders of the commanding general "for display of extraordinary heroism."

Two children of the son survive the Judge; the older, Frederick V. Barker, born July 17, 1899, graduated in 1919 at Annapolis Naval Academy, now a lieutenant stationed at San Diego, California, on a destroyer; the other, William G. Barker, born Dec. 22, 1902, graduated at Dartmouth, 1925, receiving the B. S. degree, having spent three years in the academic department and one year in the Tuck School. Three weeks after graduation he entered the employ of the Western Electric Company at the Chicago plant and recently has been transferred to its Commercial Department, 195 Broadway, New York City.

An only daughter of Frederick D., Barbara, a beautiful girl, progressing in her education at a private school, died in 1921 of an infection of the throat.

The final trouble of which Judge Barker died was uremia with intestinal fever. His last public act was that of attending in March a Dartmouth alumni meeting at St. Peters- burg, Fla., composed of winter season so- journers in that vicinity.

His funeral took place at Ebensburg, August 23, a brief church service followed by Masonic and military ceremonies, closing with firing a salute by an American Legion

squad and bugle taps. Though afflicted with many most grievous family losses, and in his closing years often suffering distressing bodily pains, he met all such experiences bravely, just as when at the age of thirteen years he enlisted and exhibited courage and the right metal, comparable with that of years of maturity and the traditions of his ancestry.

CLASS OF 1874

DR. HENRY GREEN BRAINERD, prominent neuropsychiatrist and recognized as one of the world's authorities on mental and nervous disorders, died on July 22, 1928, at his home, 1661 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, Cal., after an illness of five weeks.

Dr. Brainerd was a son of Rev. Timothy Green and Lucinda Rebecca (Dewey) Brainerd, and was born May 23, 1852 at Londonderry, N. H. His father was a graduate of Yale in 1830, and of Andover Theological Seminary in 1839, was a descendant of Daniel Brainerd, an original settler at Haddam, Conn., about 1662. Dr. Brainerd was of pure New England stock, all his ancestors having been immigrants to this country before the beginning of the 17th century.

In 1855 his father moved from London- derry to Halifax, Mass., and in 1867 to Grinnell, lowa. It was from here that Brainerd entered lowa (now Grinnell) College, leaving at the end of the sophomore year, and joined the class of '74 at Dartmouth in the fall of 1871. During his three years with that class he took a lively interest in all college activities. He was a member of the college nine, one of the editors of The Anvil, and a member of the Glee Club. He was president of his class during the senior year, and was one of the Class Day speakers. The first year after graduation he was principal and superintendent of schools at Independence, lowa. In 1875 he began the study of medicine, first at the lowa State University, and later at Rush Medical College in Chicago, where he graduated in 1878, later taking post graduate work in the London Polyclinic. During his medical course he was connected for a year with a hospital for the insane at Mount Pleasant, lowa, and later became an assistant physician in a similar institution at Independence, lowa, resigning that position in 1886 and removing to Los Angeles, Cal., where he began the general practice of medicine, and a few years later became professor of mental and nervous diseases of the medical department of the University of Southern California, holding that position from 1886 to 1911, and was dean of the faculty from 1889 to 1902. During the years 1888 to 1892 he was superintendent of the Los Angeles General Hospital. He was chairman of the state commission named to locate and build the hospital for the insane at Norwalk, and a member of the board of managers. He was also a frequent contributor of papers to various medical publications. He was president of the State Medical Society in 1922 and 1923, a former vice-president of the Southern California Sanatorium for Nervous Diseases, a member of the American Medical Association, American Congress of Internal Medicine, American College of Physicians, Southern California Medical Society, Los Angeles Neurology and Psychiatric Society, and ex-president of the Los Angeles County Medical Society. He was a member of the California and University Clubs. In 1896 he organized the dental department of the University of Southern California, and was dean of the faculty until 1902. He was a former president of the University Club, and a member of the Alpha Delta Phi.

His first marriage, May 15, 1879, was to Miss Alma L. Loomis of Manchester, lowa, whom he met as a student at Grinnell, lowa,, and who died in 1882, leaving a daughter, who died soon. September 3, 1887, he married Miss Fannie Howard of Chicago, a graduate of Abbott Academy at Andover, Mass., who died in 1919.

Dr. Brainerd is survived by two sons,. Henry Howard and Fred Lindley.

Hon. Samuel L. Powers, who contributes the foregoing sketch of his classmate, adds in a personal letter some words about Dr. Brainerd which should fittingly be appended to the sketch. He says: "I have always regarded Brainerd as one of the most successful members of my college class. He was in every way a very fine character, greatly beloved by his college mates. He was entirely free from conceit, thoroughly sincere, and a delightful' comrade. Some years ago when I was in California I learned more or less about his reputation as an expert on mental and nerv- ous disorders, and I think it is fair to say that for many years he was regarded as a leading expert on the Pacific Coast in his medical specialty."

There may fittingly also be added some words appearing in a tribute given in the September issue of California and WesternMedicine:

"His genial smile was known and cherished by all who contacted with him, and yet his life was filled with sorrows and trouble that come to but few men. Nevertheless he was never too tired or too busy to be able to listen to friend or patient, and in the aid of the poor he was even more self-sacrificing than of the well-to-do.

"One of his colleagues, who had long been associated with him, stated that in some twenty-two years he had never heard Dr. Brainerd speak an unkind word of a fellow practitioner, nor, for the matter of that, of any person. His personal life at home and abroad was ideal, and he permitted no provocation to ruffle him or to make him indulge in harsh words.

"He was a Christian whose religion was a very living and motivating factor in his life, but he was tolerant and with a breadth of viewpoint such as but few churchmen have, never intruding his belief upon others, but in his own life always giving expression to the finest standards of righteousness.

"All in all, he was a fine type of the old-fashioned general practitioner who was the friend and adviser of the families who came to him and whose advice was sought on both medical and non-medical matters.

"In southern California the place which he occupied in the affections of his colleagues and of his fellow citizens was unique. His death will not mean the cessation of his influence, because the goodness of his life and the spirit of service which was part and parcel of his every fiber have influenced a large number of his fellows. In working for the principles he believed in, they will keep Henry Green Brainerd a living force in the community which he served for so many, many years."

CLASS OF 1878

DR. WINFIELD SCOTT MONTGOMERY passed away very quietly at his home in Washington on the eleventh of September. He had been in failing health for some time, but was able to be present at the reunion of his class in June and to enjoy the occasion at the time and in retrospect since. He was born at Fort Adams, Miss., May 15, 1853, son of Frank Montgomery and Celestine Britton, and lived in New Orleans until he was ten years of age, when life took a new turn for him. The scenes shifted. He ran away to follow the Federal troops, was befriended by a Vermont officer, fitted for college at Leland and Gray Seminary, Townshend, Vt., taught school in that town during his college course, the first two years of which were with the class of '77. At the end of that time he left to spend a year teaching in a temporary position in the Washington city schools. At the end of the year he returned to college and finished his course, graduating with the class of '78. Soon after graduation he became professor of ancient and modern languages at Alcorn University, Rodney, Miss., continuing until 1882, when he was called back to Washington to begin his notable career in the schools of that city. He is survived by his widow, Emma R. (Wilder), whom he married in 1883, and by their son, Wilder P. ('06), now teacher of biology at Dunbar High School in Washington, and four daughters: Mrs. Marcia Cook of Chicago, Mrs. Marie Smith of New York, Mrs. Lydia Hillman, Miss Scottrosa, Montgomery, and several grandchildren.

Dr. Montgomery was the first member of his class to send a grandson to Dartmouth, and that grandson was reported in June to be leading his class in scholarship, much to his grandfather's delight.

In speaking of Dr. Montgomery's unique career one of the Washington papers says: "To him as to no other man in the last half- century was given the opportunity of supervising and directing the public education of his race on all levels of instruction in a public school system. His chief contribution is the inspiration to pupils* teachers, and parents of the public schools of the District of Columbia derived from his noble character and noteworthy career." The secretary of the city board of education is quoted as saying that "his monograph in the report of the board for 1904-5 is a panoramic recital of the triumphant emergence of the race from serfdom."

His retirement in January, 1924, after his long service in the public schools of Washington, was made the occasion in November of that year of a notable public testimonial, with music by the glee clubs and orchestras of two high schools and addresses by Super- intendent Ballou and other prominent educators. Flowers were sent in the name of '78, and letters were read from several of the class. But the most striking feature of the program was the review by one of the speakers of Montgomery's extraordinary career. It is a thrilling story. Born a slave, familiar with the overseer's whip and with fetters of limb and spirit, aroused by the sight of Northern troops, running away and attaching himself to the Union army, befriended by Vermont volunteers, brought North for a glimpse of opportunity, taken back to follow Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley, attached to a wounded officer and brought once more to Vermont, sent to school, thence to college, graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank, later honored (in 1906) by his alma mater with the degree of M. A., three years professor of languages in Alcorn University, then for forty-two years principal, supervising principal, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, in the capital city, pursuing meantime the study of medicine and attaining an M. D. degree (Howard University, 1888) as an anchor to windward, but devoting himself wholeheartedly to education, largely instrumental in securing for colored children equality of opportunity under the organic law of the city, in the establishment and direction of manual training schools, fresh air schools, vacation schools, night schools, classes for the incorrigible, the atypical, the blind, for speech correction and for visual education, and finally retired with such high honors—did not the man span centuries of human progress!

CLASS OF 1884

EPES JOY CALLEY died of heart disease on May 2, 1928, at the North Shore Health Resort in Winnetka, Ill. He went to the hospital sometime in November last, and remained there till his death, His brother, Frank C. Calley of Plymouth, N. H., was with him at the time of his death. In 1911 Calley had a breakdown of his rugged health, and was obliged to give up his work and rest for two years. He then went back to his business. In the years following his locating in Chicago he was much on the road and had little opportunity of meeting with the Chicago alumni. He did come out to our meet ings when in town. Of late years he was seldom seen at Dartmouth gatherings, and as he lived alone he passed from us without any of his class or the Alumni Association knowing of his going.

For a time after graduation Calley studied law at Plymouth, N. H. At this time he served two terms as town clerk, was secretary of the Plymouth Mutual Relief Society, and was a member of the state militia with the rank of sergeant. Becoming interested in underwriting, he went to Chicago and entered the employ, as special agent, of the London Insurance Corporation. His territory composed the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. His work was well done, and he was recognized by his confreres as an efficient and successful insurance man.

Calley was born January 12, 1862, at Plymouth, N. H. He was the son of C. W. and Mary E. (Keyes) Calley. He attended the public schools of his native town, and prepared for college at Holderness School for Boys at Holderness, N. H. He entered Dartmouth with the class of 1884 in the fall of 1880, receiving his degree of A. B. in June, 1884. He was a member of Delta Kappa freshman society and Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. He was a loyal class man while in college, and after graduation did much for the class and college. He was a member of the first 1884 Loan Fund committee, on which he served with fidelity and to which he gave liberally. To the fund for the rebuilding of Dartmouth Hall he was a subscriber, and showed his love and loyalty for the College in a quiet but effective way. Calley was never married.

To his memory the class of '84 would pay deserved tribute. He was one of us, shared our college life in all its phases, and went out with us to do an honorable part in the world's work. We shall recall his loyalty to the College and his affection for his classmates, and rejoice that we knew him well.

J. P. HOUSTON, Secretary.

FRANK ALBERT BRACKETT died of diabetes at his home at Steep Falls, in Maine, April 1, 1928.

He was born in Limington, Me., May 13, 1864, the son of James F. and Harriet 0. (Rounds) Brackett. He prepared for college at Limington Academy and entered with the class, but left in the middle of freshman year.

After leaving college he learned the jeweler's business, which he followed until he' entered the employ of the W. H. McElwain Company, shoe manufacturers. He worked with this company for twenty or more years, living in different cities of New York and New Hampshire. A large part of this time was spent in their experimental department, where he invented many labor-saving devices used by the company. For a time he was employed as an efficiency expert. In 1918 he retired from the company, and did jewelry work at Steep Falls for the rest of his life, making hand-wrought jewelry. In recent years his health had been more or less impaired, and he spent the winter of 1926-7 in Florida. In 1923 and 1924 he was a member of the board of selectmen of the town of Limington.

June 16, 1894, he was married to Minnie Ellsworth, daughter of William F. and Janette (Tony)Trebou of Whitman, Mass., who survives him, with one son, Robert F.

WALTER FRANKLIN ROBIE, M. D., of Bald wins ville, Mass., died suddenly from apoplexy at his summer home in Winchendon, Mass., August 29, 1928. He was born at Bradford, Vt., October 22, 1866, the son of Edwin W. and Jane J. (Sawyer) Robie. He prepared for college at Bradford Academy, entered and graduated with our class, and studied medicine at the University of Michigan and at Dartmouth, where he graduated (M. D.) in 1893. All his professional life was spent in Baldwinsville, except for twelve months of active service in the army, 1917-18. He had many years of general practice, but gradually gave more and more time to the study and treatment of functional nervous disorders. He took several courses in psychology under the late G. Stanley Hall at Clark University, Worcester. The title of his first book, published in 1916, was "Rational Sex Ethics," sub-title "A physiological and psychological study of the sex lives of normal men and women with suggestions for a rational sex hygiene." A second volume was published in 1918, and two other books followed in 1920 and 1921, entitled "Sex and Life" and "The Art of Love."

For a number of years Dr. and Mrs. Robie conducted a small private sanitorium. He also traveled quite extensively and gave many lectures and informal talks to special groups. In addition there was a large and exacting correspondence.

Dr. Robie was married at Bradford, February 11, 1890, to Miss Bertha E. Little, who survives him. Six children were born, and all are living. Four sons and one daughter are married, and there are at least five grandchildren. The youngest son is a physician, having graduated from Dartmouth in 1922 and from Yale Medical School in 1925. The three older sons were in the army, 1917 to 1919, and two saw active service in France.

Robie was an enthusiastic and active Dartmouth man from first to last. He was present at nearly every class reunion, and was a faithful attendant at the annual dinners of the Boston Alumni Association and at class luncheons and round-ups.

CLASS OF 1900

DR. WILLIAM EDWARD CLARK died at his home in Charlestown, N. H., on September 7. On September 5 he suffered a shock of paralysis while on his way to Lempster, and his death occurred two days later.

For over twenty years Bill practised medicine in the town of Lempster, N. H. He then moved to Charlestown, where he resided for the remaining three years, thus completing twenty-three years in the very active pursuit of his profession. His automobile was seen day and night traveling over the hills and down through the valleys, carrying help and relief to those who were afflicted. At morning, noon, and night, his was the hand that opened the door with a cheery smile, bringing help and succor. No wonder that the fires burned out, and no wonder that this life devoted to such constant and rigorous service was a comparatively short one.

Bill Clark was born in Hinsdale, N. H., and received his early education in Charles- town, attending finally a private school in Brattleboro, Vt. He entered Dartmouth in the class of 1900, and we of the Dartmouth family remember so vividly his undergraduate days. He roomed with Ben Prescott. He was a fine ball player, was a member of his class team and the old Dartmouth reserves. He also was generally seen among the group of players of varsity caliber who went around to play exhibition games at the close of the season. Bill was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and was active in the college band. He was a scholar of more than average excellence, and was awarded second prize in botany for his special work in that department. Short, stocky, cheery and kindly, that was Bill Clark, with a serious, fixed purpose in life which he fulfilled.

He entered the Medical School, and then moved to Lempster, where his career began, and it ended in the nearby town of Charles- town. He was a member of the Sullivan County Medical Society, the New Hamp- shire State Medical Society, and the American Medical Association. He also was active in St. Luke's Episcopal church.

In 1903 he married Elmira L. Mitchell of Acworth, N. H., by whom he is survived, also by one son and an adopted daughter, and one sister, Miss Sarah E. Clark of Marlboro, Mass.

A very dear friend has this comment to make of Bill in the Lempster paper:

"Dr. Clark was a jovial, kindly man, generous to a fault. He always entered the sick room with a glad smile and a cheery word, and he leaves a host of friends who sincerely mourn the loss of the good physician and the kindly friend.

"During my lifetime I have made the acquaintance of very few men who so nearly measured up to my conception of the characteristics of a real 'white man' as did Dr. William E. Clark."

Another 1900 physician has given up his practice. He truly gave his life to the community, and probably gave it too generously and too freely. Bill Clark exemplified that type of New England physician about whom books are written and traditions created which will survive for many years to come. Because of Bill Clark and his kind a broad medical training is now encouraged by state and town authorities. Specialization can never fill this niche in the life of every community. Someone must minister to the wants of all, and someone must be willing to start out over the hills day or night and relieve the sufferings of the human race. Bill did just this, and he did it quietly and unostentatiously. If we only had a catalogue of the service he has rendered there would be many a story of profound human interest, but it would be a large volume and many of the stories could never be written or told.

And so we of 1900 say "Good-bye" to this classmate, who has exemplified throughout his entire life the spirit of service which Doctor Tucker told us about in the waning light Sunday evenings some thirty years ago.

CLASS OF 1908

DR. JOHN DALY MCCARTHY died at the Mount Vernon (N. Y.) Hospital, July 31, 1928, of pneumonia, after an illness of five weeks.

The son of Jeremiah and Annie A. (Daly) McCarthy, he was born in Fitchburg, Mass., October 7, 1886, and prepared for college at the high school of his native city.

For the first year after graduation he taught biology and chemistry in the high school of Port Jervis, N. Y. In February, 1910, he was appointed to the teaching staff of the New York City high schools, and taught there nine years. Becoming interested in the study of adolescence, he studied the nervous system at Columbia, and received the degree of A. M. there in 1911. This was followed by three years' study at New York University, largely on the subject of behavior, and he received the degree of Ph.D., there in 1914. In 1917 he became head of the department of biology and hygiene in the DeWitt Clinton High School. In 1919 he resigned his connection with the city schools to undertake the study of medicine at Harvard, where he obtained his medical degree cum laude in 1923. After spending several months in hospitals, he opened an office in New York City, specializing in nervous and mental diseases, especially of children. He later resumed his work in hygiene at the DeWitt Clinton School, and in June of the present year was appointed director of health education in the entire school system of the city. He was a member of various medical and psychological societies. In 1921 a text-book of his, "Health and Efficiency," was published by Holt.

In August, 1912, he was married to Mary Ryan, who survives him, with two children, John D., Jr., and Kathleen. Another son died in infancy.

CORNELIUS AUGUSTINE RILEY died in Portland, Oregon, August 20, 1928. Apparently in perfect health when he left home in the morning, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in a down-town office at noon, and died four hours later.

The son of Andrew J. and Margaret (McDonald) Riley, he was born in Omaha, Neb., October 13, 1886. He entered Dartmouth at the beginning of junior year from Georgetown University. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and the Dragon.

No record has been obtained of his career for several years after graduation, but for the last fourteen years he had been salesman for a bond house in Portland.

November 29, 1911, he was married in Denver, Colo., to Blanche, daughter of William P. and Josephine M. Ryan, who survives him, with three children, John Gordon, Richard Cornelius, and William Andrew.

CLASS OF 1913

HAROLD PARKER GARDNER died July 27, 1928, at the Ring Sanatorium in Arlington Heights, Mass., where he had been a patient since May.

"Larry," as he was affectiontely known to every one in the class, was the son of Belle Clement and Rufus P. Gardner, and was born at Marion, Mass., December 23, 1890. He was graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1909, and from Dartmouth with the class of 1913, taking in senior year the course of the Tuck School.

He began his business career with the Bureau of Railway Economics at Washington, D. C., and had been auditor of the Rutland Railroad since June 1, 1922, going to Rutland from the New York Central road. At Rutland he had done splendid work, and was thought of most highly by every one; he was one of the coming young men of the New York Central system. For some time previous to last May he had been working too hard, and hence went to Arlington.

While at Dartmouth he was a member of the freshman track team, of the varsity track team in sophomore and junior years, and the varsity relay team in junior year. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and Sphinx.

He is survived by his widow and three children.

CLASS OF 1914

HENRY PINGREE FULL died at the Deaconess Hospital in Boston on July 6. He had been a patient for two weeks. He was buried in Pigeon Cove, Mass., in which locality he was born in 1891, the eldest son of Frederick M. and the late Ida G. (Pingree) Full.

Pingree prepared for Dartmouth in the Rockport and Gloucester High Schools. He entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1910, and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors with the class of 1914. During his freshman year he roomed with Forbes at the head of the stairs on the second floor of Reed Hall, and for the three years thereafter roomed with Herb Austin, two years in Wheeler Hall and the senior year in New Hampshire. All of these rooms were so located that they were rallying points for debators and others, which practice may have led to his selection in senior year as a member of the debating team.

Directly following graduation, Pingree became associated with the Western Electric Company, first going to their factory at Hawthorne, Ill., just outside of Chicago. From that training course, he went into credit work in which, except for service during the World War, he was engaged up to the time of his death. He saw action in branch offices in New York, Atlanta, Seattle, and Baltimore, holding the position of credit manager in the last two.

In Seattle in the winter of 1923 a serious tobogganing accident occurred, resulting in a broken leg and internal injuries. Pingree was incapacitated for several months, and the accident was undoubtedly a contributory cause of his death. While still hobbling around on a cane, he was transferred to the East, and had remained in this section ever since. At this time he was loaned by the Western Electric organization to a concern in Worcester, Mass., and succeeded in putting its credit structure on its feet in a very few months.

Pingree served during the World War in the Aviation Corps, and was in active service in France, attaining the rank of lieutenant.

Unfortunately, business activites kept him in localities without a large Dartmouth population. Nevertheless, he was known and esteemed by Dartmouth men, both classmates and others, and by a large circle of business associates. The ranks of the 1914 bachelors have been decreased by one, for Pingree had never married. He is survived by his father, a brother, and three sisters.

CLASS OF 1915

After a search extending over several years, in which time numerous unfounded rumors were traced down, the College has at last conclusively learned that DAVE KINNE died at the Monticello Hospital of pneumonia at Monticello, N. Y., April 26, 1926. Dale Barker has asked that several of us who were associated with Dave prepare "an 'appreciation' rather than an 'obituary'." I have set down hastily some random reminiscences.

My first association with Dave began in 1912, when we "heeled" for the Aegis. Our assignments by the 1914 board would often send us out on work to the files of The DailyDartmouth (where Dave, of course, was perfectly at home), or to the library. On these expeditions he was always great company. To converse with him meant more than a mere exchange of commonplaces. As a sophomore, he was really mature, not just sophomorically so. He was unusually well informed, and wielded a vigorous vocabulary with which to maintain his position on almost any subject. His literary judgment was keenly developed. Skimming through some abstruse philosophical treatise, he could extract the principal points and then discuss them in an intelligent manner that displayed the swiftness and clearness of his thinking.

When it came to the actual work on the 1915 Aegis, Dave's experience on the Dartmouth and the Bema helped to add new literary features to the book which, so the press and faculty comments of the time stated, made it an improvement over its predecessors. The board took its work seriously, perhaps too much so, but Dave would relieve any tension by an unexpected prank, or a telling flash of high comedy.

It was the general consensus of opinion that Dave's handling of the editorial policy of The Daily Dartmouth in 1914-1915 was exceptional. A member of the philosophy department later remarked that Dave had one of the most brilliant minds in college. He was not always right. He espoused some causes merely for the sake of argumentation. In any case, however, one had to admire his forcefulness. By application to writing it would seem as if he could have gone far in a journalistic career.

Dave was the first secretary of The Arts. When many of us felt a little awed by distinguished guests, such as the late Professor Winchester or Vachel Lindsay, it was Dave who would bridge an awkward pause in the conversation by some illuminating comments on the fine distinctions of higher literary criticism!

In the thirteen years and more since our graduation, we have forgotten that Dave had a standing of over 80 for his entire course, that he was of Phi Beta Kappa ranking, a Rufus Choate Scholar, received honorable mention and departmental honors in philosophy his senior year, and was graduated "cum laude."

During our senior year, his mother made a visit to Hanover, and Dave, in his attention, thoughtfulness, and consideration, showed softer and gentler characteristics than those we were accustomed to associate with his jovial, happy-go-lucky nature, y

The last time I saw him was in Boston in 1920 or 1921. He had but recently returned from Constantinople. He seemed unsettled by his war experiences and most uncommunicative about his plans; and so he drifted away from many of us who would have welcomed a responsive sign of interest from him. I still like to think of him in a characteristic pose, tilted back in his office chair with his feet on the desk, deep in a book, puffing at his pipe. He would shut the book at your approach with an explosive greeting, "Hi!" and from then on one had to have his wits about him. A happier journey to you, Dave, old man! CHAKLES E. GRIFFITH

Slingerlands, N. Y. October 5, 1928. Mr. Charles E. Griffith, Jr., Glen Ridge, N. Y. Dear Charles:

You telegraph me that you have just received definite confirmation of Dave Kinne's death; you ask me to write a formal tribute.

The Dave Kinne I knew, the one with whom I worked and played, rejoiced and suffered, caroused and repented—that Dave Kinne would want no formal tribute. If there is one thing above all else that he would have desired, it would be only that we pause a brief moment in our respective busy days, doff our hats, and say, "Dave is gone—God love him! May he find the peace he deserved."

Dave has been gone from us ever since the war. Your telegram, consequently, doesn't give the quick, poignant shock with all its attendant heart-ache. It does, however, make us pause. It brings the contemplation of those ever-present questions of life and death.

Who was Dave? A youngster of eighteen, rooming in North Fayerweather, asking nothing of anyone, giving all that he could, taking his Delta Alpha with his tongue in his cheek, studying what interested him, and reading, reading, reading. As long as it was the printed word, it sufficed. Excellent, good, indifferent, bad, atrocious—he devoured it all with the most insatiable appetite I've ever seen.

Quizzical, scoffing, heretical—a mind forever busy with the why of everything. Did you agree, did you disagree—no matter, he stormed along, intolerant of opposition yet kindly enough always to try to teach, to impart learning as he saw it.

Who was this one? A world-wide authority? No matter. He could be wrong. Impatient Dave, swaggering his way at times, whistling to keep up his courage as needed, but ever and always ruthlessly, relentlessly trying to find out the truth.

Charlie, you said you wanted a formal tribute for Dave. Someone may write it sometime but it won't be me, nor will it be anyone else who loved the devil-may- care boy that you and I knew for four years at Dartmouth.

He made mistakes—plenty of them. But no one ever made mistakes'more honestly. No man can strike out uncompromisingly against smug convention and not make his errors. Dave erred no more than many have before him, than many have after him.

As I think back, he seemed often intolerant of many virtues because they seemed so complacent, so self-satisfied. He "had so sharply focused his vision for this fault that sometimes he thought he had found it where it never existed. If ever he had any colossal hate in his life, it was this feeling of intense resentment against smugness.

And so, like the small boy brandishing the straw which he called his sword, he stormed the castles. And when the sword was broken, he didn't cry, he didn't'complain, he didn't quit—he got himself a stronger sword, picked out a better for- tified citadel, and the new battle'was on.

Those who followed the flashes of his wit, the soundness of his reasoning, the strength of his logic, the intensity of his passionate quests—they will not;want any conventional tribute or common- place eulogy for Dave.

They knew him as he lived among usrough and kind, relentless and considerate, Rabelaisian and idealistic. Follow him or fight him, agree with him or argue through the long watches of the night you loved him, you hated him, you admired him but, by the gods, you never disregarded him.

And so, Charlie, when we meet again, we'll turn down an empty glass for Dave. And let us say that which I know he would have liked—just a simple little thing but of deep sincerity, because it will come from our heart of hearts.

"Dave, here's to you! God love you, Dave—you left us better than you found USI" JOHN M. MULLIN

CLASS OF 1917

CLIFTON BADLAM THOMPSON Born November 9, 1892—Died July 26, 1928.

Tommy Thompson's wife had driven from their summer cottage to the aviation field at Warwick, R. I., to bring him home. As she parked her car and started towards his plane which was on the ground, she stopped to watch a small ship which was stunting in the air. It suddenly went into a tail spin, crashed, and burst into flames.

Tommy was in that plane, as a passenger. He entered Dartmouth with us in the fall of 1913, and made friends right from the start. He was active on the track team, running the two mile, and making his letter sophomore year; afterwards being captain of the cross-country team. He got his degree, although he left college in the spring of '17 to go across with the first ambulance unit.

In France Cliff carved out a brilliant record, joining the Lafayette Escadrille and seeing service with that famous outfit, and later being commissioned in the United States air service as a second lieutenant. More active service followed which brought to him the Croix de Guerre and two citations.

In 1919, while still in France, Tommy married Mile. Adeline Leger, and she survives him, together with Jacques, 7; Helen, 6; Gerald, 5; and Clifton, Jr., 4.

He had been living recently in Foxboro, Mass., and was instructor and general manager for the Providence Flying Club, which includes several Dartmouth men.

CLASS OF 1920

HARRY GHAT CARLEY, a member of this class during most of freshman year, was killed in an airplane accident at Culver City, Cal„ June 4, 1928.

He was born at West Newton, Mass., November 11, 1896, his father being Colum- bus Gray Carley, and prepared for college at Newton Classical High School.

During the war Carley served in the A. E. F., identifying himself with the Air Service and attaining the rank of first lieutenant. At the'close of the war in 1918 he entered Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, where he remained until 1921.

In 1918, at Watertown, N. Y., he married Miss Rosemary Taylor, who died two years later. His second marriage took place in 1923 to Miss Charline Baylies of New York, who died in 1924.

Carley had been a member of the Yale Club of New York City a for number of years preceding his death, and considered this his residence address. The funeral was from 140 East 57th St.

While at Dartmouth he became a member of Theta Delta Chi.

EUGENE STONE LEONARD died of angina pectoris very suddenly in a doctor's office at Bellows Falls, Vt., September 6, 1928. He had suffered one or two heart attacks, which had led to a thorough medical examination without the uncovering of symptons which would warrant a diagnosis. Less than a month before his death he went to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston for examination, but the symptoms were so slight that the physicians refused to believe anything wrong and were awaiting further developments when the end came. They say that this is the first case in their records of a man under thirty-five having angina.

"Gene" was born in Bellows Falls, June 24, 1898, the son of Eugene Spencer and Addie P. (Stone) Leonard, and fitted at Bellows Falls High School. In college he served on The Dartmouth board, and had a place on Paleopitus during senior year as president of the Dartmouth Christian Association. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi, and also of the Pi Delta Epsilon journalistic fraternity and of the college choir. In senior year he took the Tuck School course. Upon graduation he returned to Bellows Falls and entered the insurance business with his father, the business being incorporated in 1928 as the Leonard Insurance Agency. He had affiliated himself actively with many of the local civic and fraternal organizations, and was at the time of his death master of King Solomon Temple Lodge of Masons and vice-president of the Rotary Club. He had formerly been president of the High School Alumni Association, adjutant of the Pierce- Lawton Post of the American Legion, and director of the Westminster Club.

He is survived by his father and step- mother and two brothers. On the 26th of the month he was to have married Miss Frances Peterson of Springfield, Vt.

All the stores in the village were closed for an hour on the day of his funeral, and on the following Monday a memorial tribute was given at the Rotary Club luncheon by Judge Warner A. Graham. The local paper says: "Honest, reliable, and capable, Eugene Leonard was one of the out-standing young business men of the community, and as such, in death he received homage that is seldom paid a man of so young an age."

CLASS OF 1925

JOHN BARKLEY DAWSON was killed in an airplane accident August 3 at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas.

Johnnie came to Dartmouth from Denver, Colo., entering with the class of 1925. Though not a graduate he remained until junior year, when he withdrew from college.

He was on the varisty gym team while in college, and was a member of the Chi Phi fraternity. A great many in the class knew Johnnie, and all will feel a shock of sadness at hearing of his death.

CLASS OF 1926

LESLIE WAGGENER, JR., was fatally shot when a pistol in the hand of a friend was accidentally discharged, and died a few hours later, at 10 o'clock on Monday evening, July 9, 1928, at St. Paul Sanitarium, Dallas, Texas.

Waggener came to college from Dallas, where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Waggener, still live. In college he was a member of Beta Theta Pi and the Sphinx.

After graduation he studied for a time at the Harvard School of Business Administration, and then became connected with the Republic National Bank of Dallas, of which his father is vice-president, as a salesman in the bond department.

Highland Park Masonic lodge, of which he was a member, attended the funeral in a body.

CLASS OF 1927

COLEMAN JOSEPH JOEL died August 9, 1928, at Beechwood, Maine. Coleman was born on November 19, 1905, at Everett, Mass. He prepared for college at Everett High School, and entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1923. While in college Hunk was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. He was graduated in 1927 with an A. B. degree, and spent his first year out of college at Harvard Law School, where his quiet yet pleasing personality and his ability won him many friends, as they had in his undergraduate days.

Hunk was spending his summer vacation at Beechwood, Maine. On the day when he died he had been swimming most of the morning, and had just saved a small girl who had got out beyond her depth. He went back into the water for a short swim before going to lunch, and his heart gave out.

The class extends their deepest sympathy to Coleman's family, and mourns the loss of one of its valued members.

ROBERT WILLIS BLISS died August 25, 1928, at Hanover, N. H.

Bob was born on April 30, 1905, at Arlington, N. J. He prepared for Dartmouth at Montclair High School. While in college Bob was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and was elected to the athletic competition in his sophomore year. He with- drew from college on December 2, 1925, due to ill health. Up until the time of his death Bob had been suffering from diabetes for a number of years, and while spending a few days the latter part of this summer at Lake Morey he was picked up on the road, unconscious, in a diabetic coma, from which he'never recovered.

The class wishes to extend their sympathy to Bob's family, and deeply mourns their loss which is also ours.

Deciding to practice the profession according to homeopathic principles, he then attended the New York Home- opathic Medical College, and also took some lectures at the University of New York.

In April, 1878, he opened practice at Windsor, Vt., and in a short time built up a large practice. In 1882 he removed to New York City, where he was engaged in active and successful practice for the rest of his life, making several professional calls on the day of his death.

Colonel Harvey (the military title was derived from service on the staffs of the governors of New Jersey and South Carolina) died August 20, 1928, of heart disease, at his summer home in Dublin, N. H.

He was born in Peacham, Vt., February 16, 1864, and his academic education was obtained at the Caledonia County Grammar School in Peacham, the principal of this school being Charles A. Bunker, Dartmouth, 1864, who is still living in Peacham.

At the age of eighteen he became a reporter on the Springfield Republican, from which he went to Chicago to work on the Daily News, and then to New York to the staff of the World. At the age of 25 he became managing editor of that paper, but resigned seven years later for reasons of health. After a successful business experience, largely in connection with electrical railroads, in 1899 he purchased the North American Review, and in the same year a substantial share in the publishing house of Harper and Brothers, becoming president of the concern and editor of Harper's Weekly. In 1911 he retired from the latter editorial position, and in 1915 from the presidency of the publishing house. In 1917 he started The War Weekly, devoted to prodding lax officials into a vigorous prosecution of the war. This was renamed Harvey's Weekly, but was discontinued in 1920. At the same time he retired from the editor- ship of the North American, but in 1924 he reassumed the post, finally selling the review in 1926. He then engaged in the preparation of a biography of Henry Clay Frick, the financier, which was published early this year.

Politically Colonel Harvey is best known for his early and prominent part in pushing the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, for his later estrangement from President Wilson and his antagonism to his policies, and for his part in the nomination of Harding by the Republicans in 1920. Probably as a reward for the latter service he was made ambassador to Great Britain in 1921, remaining there until his resignation, October 4, 1923.

October 13, 1887, he was married to Alma A. Parker of Peacham who survives him, with their daughter Dorothy, who is the wife of Col. Marcellus Thompson of New York.

JAMES'MADISON TRACY, who received the honorary degree of Master of Arts in 1870, died at the Presbyterian Hospital, Denver, Colo., September 2, 1928, after an illness of four days.

He was born in Bath, N. H., January 27, 1837, and began at the age of twelve a musical career of remarkable length and unusual distinction.

In 1858 he left the position of a church organist in Concord, N. H., to go to Hamburg, Germany, where he studied under Louis Plaidy and Ignace Moscheles at the Mendelssohn Conservatory. In 1860 he was admitted to the select group of pupils taught by Franz Liszt, who was so pleased with him that he arranged concert appearances for him at Prague, Heidelberg, and Dresden. He is thought to have been the last surviving pupil of Liszt.

Returning to America, he taught in Boston, and later in Rochester, N. Y., and Des Moines, lowa. In 1900 he founded the Liszt School of Music in Denver, which he has since conducted together with his wife, who was Cateau Stegeman, a Hollander by birth. Besides specializing as a coach for concert artists, Mr. Tracy edited various piano works and wrote "Three Years of Student Life in Germany," "Theory and Rudimental Harmony," and two musical novels "Manton Lee" and "George Monroe."
