ALUMNI NOTES

NECROLOGY

CLASS OF 1862

John Wesley Milligan died December 31, 1927, at Atlanta, Ga.

The son of Robert and Mary Ann (Shartess) Milligan, he was born at Swissvale, Pa., May IS, 1838, prepared for college at Wilkinsburg, Pa., and was a member of the class throughout the course, together with his brother, Joseph R. Milligan. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

After graduation he studied law in an office in Pittsburgh, was admitted to the bar in 1864, and practiced in that city until 1876. He then left the profession to enter steel manufacturing, in which he continued for the rest of his life, making his home at Swissvale.

It has not been possible to obtain biographical data later than those contained in the class history printed in 1884. From that source we learn of Mr. Milligan's marriage, July 17, 1866, to Mary E. Agnew of Wilkinsburg. The births of six children are there noted, two of the children not being then living. A newspaper notice speaks of funeral services at the home of a son-in-law, Gordon Fisher, at 4 Colonial Place, Pittsburgh.

CLASS OF 1867

Joseph Hartwell Ladd died March 13, 1928, at the home of his daughter in Fairhaven, Mass.

The son of Caleb and Mary Ann (Watson) Ladd, he was born in Calcutta, India, August 14, 1845. His father was the Eastern representative of the Tudor Ice Company. When six years old he was brought to Vermont and left with an aunt to be educated. He attended a district school in Corinth, and prepared for college at Barre Academy. He was a member of Psi Upsilon. He was pitcher in the first intercollegiate game of baseball in which Dartmouth engaged, and assisted in the victory over Amherst. He also sang in the Glee Club, and was a member of "Brickett's Minstrels."

After graduation he studied law in offices in Concord, N. H., and Fitchburg, Mass., and took a year at Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1871. During his law studies his parents had returned from India, and he made his home with them at Watertown, Mass., until their death. For a few years he practiced his profession in Boston, and then at Holliston, Mass. August 30, 1880, he was appointed clerk of the district court at Framingham, and held that position until he was automatically retired at the age of seventy. As clerk he was the friend of all, ready to help or advise. At the testimonial banquet tendered him when retiring, the menu cards contained his picture under which was printed, "Our guide, philosopher, and friend."

October S, 1875, Mr. Ladd was married to Minnie A. Eldridge of Fairhaven, Mass., who died April 25, 1923. Until her death he had continued to practice law and work upon his farm, but shortly after occurred a first apoplectic shock, which was followed at intervals by others. The final illness lasted but a day and a half. He had for some time made his home with his daughter, Miss Olive Ladd, a teacher in Fairhaven.

Joe Ladd was during his college career one of the most popular men in his class and in the College. He was an athlete par excellence. He could run faster and jump higher than any man the writer ever saw.

CLASS OF 1873

Robert Kerr, recently deceased, was born near Londonderry, Ireland, October 12, 1846, and was the son of John and Sarah (Mooney) Kerr. He was of Scotch descent. Coming to this country as a boy twelve years old, he was dependent on his own exertions thereafter. For three years he worked as a clerk in a store. Four years after his arrival in this country, on July 7, 1862, he enlisted as a private in the 14th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, Company E, and served until June 27, 1865, when he was honorably discharged. The regiment was in Hancock's Second Corps, Army of the Potomac, and saw much fighting. Kerr was in some of the fiercest battles of the Civil War, among them the Wilderness, the Bloody Angle of Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, the siege of Petersburg, Deep Bottom, in front of Richmond. He was twice wounded, first at Morton's Ford on the Rapidan, February 6, 1864, when Kilpatrick and Dahlgren made the raid on Richmond. In the summer of 1864 he was stunned by a glancing ball in an assault on Petersburg. The fearful wound in the side which he received at Morton's Ford caused suffering for many years after the war. During his recovery he used his spare time in study. He was sent East on the recruiting service by General Hancock in October, 1864, and during the rest of the war he was engaged in taking recruits, conscripts, and convalescents to the front and in chasing deserters and bountyjumpers and taking them back to their regiments.

Resuming his studies after the war, he entered Phillips Exeter Academy in the class of 1870, but by close application graduated in 1869, entering Dartmouth in the fall, in spite of insufficient preparation. So well did he apply himself during his course that he won the Grimes prize for the most satisfactory progress during the college course. He spoke at Commencement on "Heroism in an Unrighteous Cause." He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was compelled to earn his funds for his college course, and this he did by working at his trade, that of a mason, during the summer vacation, and teaching school during the winters. He was one of the masons employed in the building of Culver Hall. He was honored by his class in various ways. During junior year he was a member of a committee of three to arrange a course of college and community lectures.

After his graduation he taught school for two years in Plainfield, N. J., and then returned to his home town of Danielsonville, Conn., there studying law and doing some journalistic work on a local paper. In the fall of 1876 he entered the law school of Boston University, where he graduated in 1877. After a brief period of law practice in Pittsburgh, Pa., he opened an office in New York city, but shortly afterward moved to Archer county, Texas. While there, engaged in law practice and interested also in horses and cattle, he entered the political field and ran for county judge, but in his own words was "laid out cold as a wedge." He continued the practice of law there, and was county judge for four years, 1884-8. Moving in 1895 to Colorado Springs, Colo., he there remained for the rest of his life in the practice of his profession. Always active in civic matters, intensely devoted to the interests of good, clean government, he waged a battle royal against the grafters of his own political party as well as everywhere else. From 1905 to 1909 he was county judge of El Paso county, and administered the office carefully and in the interests of the people. He was appointed referee in bankruptcy in 1902, and served until he took office as county judge. After his term as judge he resumed practice with J. E. Mclntire until his death and was quite active until a few weeks before his death.

A complication of troubles of long standing at length forced him to his bed, and it was decided to remove him to the army hospital in Denver. There the surgeons found that an operation was not possible, and he died on the morning of March 8, 1928, after six weeks of serious illness. He went down to death like the gallant soldier he was. His keen Irish wit and his love of poetry were with him. to the end. He quoted the songs from Tennyson's Princess a great deal during the last week: "Home they brought her warrior dead," and "O swallow, swallow, flying south," and the lines from Maud:

"Her coming was my hope each day. Her parting was my pain."

He saw visions, Greek texts hanging on the walls, and other similar things. A very simple service was held in the hospital chapel, and the beautiful fourteenth chapter of John was read. The body was cremated, and the ashes will be laid with the Grand Army of the Republic in Colorado Springs.

He married, October 13, 1893, Miss Lillian Hart, who survives him. Mrs. Kerr writes: "We had a wonderful life together. It will be hard to go on without him." Mrs. Kerr has been greatly interested in many public interests and an active worker in all good causes. All her life she has been a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the women of Colorado, on the death of Senator Nicholson, sent a petition to Governor Sweet, urging him to appoint Mrs. Kerr to the vacancy.

CLASS OF 1876

Rev. Washington Robert Laird, Ph. D., who died March 23, 1928, in West Chester, Pa., was born in Danville, Vt., April 22, 1855, the son of Robert Wallace and Harriet M. (Angier) Laird. His college preparatory training was at Mclndoe's Academy, Mclndoe Falls, Vt. He was st Dartmouth during his freshman year, in the academic department, and was graduated from Geneva College, Pa., in 1876.

He was graduated from the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1880, and at once became pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church in St. Johnsbury, Vt. His longest term of service was at West Chester, Pa., where he was pastor of the First Presbyterian church for twenty-five years, retiring in 1917, since which date he had been pastor emeritus. His latest pastorate was a peculiarly happy one, and as he was able to keep up some measure of activity after retirement, it was possible to reap its satisfactions to the last.

Laird was of a quiet nature, and his intimates at Dartmouth during his short stay were not numerous. Events indicate that his life course had few deviations from an early-formed plan, and developed to definite success.

He was twice married: first to Miss Fannie E. Hadfield of Pittsburgh, August 23, 1877; and second to Miss Ellen M. Greene of West Chester. He had six children, all of whom, with his wife, survive him. Three of his children were graduated from colleges.

CLASS OF 1878

Edwin Webster Sanborn died March 18 aboard ship on the passage from New York to California (via the Panama Canal) whither he was being taken to spend a few weeks at Coronado Beach.

Mr. Sanborn was born at Hanover July 31, 1857, son of Professor Edwin D. and Mary (Webster) Sanborn and grandson of Ezekiel Webster. He was prepared for college at Norwich Academy and entered with the class of 1877, but owing to trouble with his eyes and other physical ailments he withdrew for a year midway of his course, and so completed it with the class of 1878, graduating in that year with Phi Beta Kappa rank. The following year he spent at Columbia Law School, then for two years taught Latin and Greek in the high school of St. Paul, Minn., after which he returned to New York and the study of law. He was admitted to the bar in 1882 and at once engaged in practice in New York city, forming in 1884 a partnership with Jefferson Clark under the firm name of Clark & Sanborn and continuing in general practice for some ten or fifteen years when he became connected with the American Agricultural Chemical Company, serving in the capacity of counsellor until his failing health, never robust, compelled his retirement some fifteen years ago.

His precarious health had all along directed his attention to out-of-door life, and he pursued the arts of camping, hunting, and fishing until he made himself an adept and connoisseur in them. Having inherited from his sister a fortune he was able to gratify his tastes in these particulars as well as to travel widely in this country and abroad, and his always hospitable apartment became a museum of mounted specimens of rare game heads and fish, trophies of his adventures and his skill. His unusual literary gifts which had been displayed in random articles in a humorous or whimsical vein, he brought into play in portraying the attractions of nature as he saw it in his excursions into unfrequented regions, publishing a considerable series of articles in Outing and other magazines devoted to similar interests. His legal knowledge was turned to similar account. As a member of the Conservation Committee of the Campfire Club of America he prepared a brief in support of the constitutionality of the Federal Migratory Bird Protection Law.

For the past fifteen years he was the conscious victim of a fatal malady which gradually deprived him of physical powers and finally even of the power of speech. But as long as it was possible to communicate with him in any way he retained his characteristic humor and cheer. After his disease had developed so far that friendly visits were no longer practicable his quaint humor sparkled through such means of communication as were still open to him, in response to friendly letters. Answering one which had told him of the mental breakdown of a classmate ,he expressed his pity, and added, "I realize that my own tie-up might be worse. I am thankful still to be technically alive and able to listen to the reading of the daily news. One of the few compensations of a long illness is showing who the friends are who really care. To get a letter like yours does a lot of good. There is nothing better for broken bones." And there were faithful friends who kept up correspondence to the last, and were repaid by glimpses of a soul still vital and luminous although almost isolated from human intercourse. His personality was a most lovable one to all who passed the barrier of a gentle reserve.

One of his whimsicalities was a literary feat entitled "Imitations," in which, taking the then much bruited North Pole episode as a theme,. he served it up in the varied styles of famous writers as far contrasted as Carlyle and Dickens or Browning and Kipling. The reader found himself shifted without warning from the tone characteristic of one to one equally typical of another, much after the fashion of the modern tests for the recognition of familiar musical compositions. He also published, soon after his death, an interesting sketch of his sister, Kate Sanborn, who had attained fame as a writer and lecturer. This was reviewed by Prof. J. K. Lord in this magazine sometime in 1918.

Mr. Sanborn was especially gifted as an after-dinner speaker. His humorous but kindly characterization of familiar Hanover personages and reminiscences of familiar incidents, uttered with a curiously demure, half shy, but imperturbable manner, will long . be remembered and quoted by those who heard him on various alumni occasions. His last communication to the class secretary, dictated after he had become completely helpless, contains this characteristic reference to Hanover scenes: "The inscriptions on Hanover Bridge have always been notable. One of the best in my earlier days was, 'Use Pedro's pills and be happy.'" Politically, he described himself as "Optimistic pessimist: anti-Democrat, but voted for Cleveland and Wilson."

He was a member of N. Y. Athletic Association, University Club, New England Association, Alpha Delta Phi Graduate Associa- tion, and the New York Bar Association.

Mr. Sanborn never married, and left no relatives nearer than a cousin. His large property, which evidently accumulated in his hands in spite of the expense of his long illness and the unremitting and varied attendance it made necessary, comes, as elsewhere set forth, to the College with which his family was so closely identified, and of which, in the communication above quoted he wrote as follows: "Of all the amazing Dartmouth developments, the most astounding seems to me to be the fact that there are three hundred young men from New York city applying for admission to the next freshman class. In our time there were about three men in college from the New York district, and three hundred would nearly have peopled the whole college. How come that a little village hidden among the hills of northern New England can within a few years get such a grip on this huge, unwieldy, on-rushing, self-engrossed metropolis ? The how and why of the new Dartmouth furnish plenty of food for thought for a man who is tied up in the house."

In accordance with his expressed wish, burial and the only funeral service were at Hanover, held (March 30) on the arrival of the body accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Robert J. Hammond of Brooklyn, and C. A. Perkins '90, of New York. Rev. A. W. Clark, rector of St. Thomas church, conducted the service.

CLASS OF 1879

Herbert William Kittredge died at the Noble Hospital, Westfield, Mass., March 27, 1928. Though for some months his health had become gradually impaired, the final illness was brief; he was absent from his regular duties only for three school days. He was born in Nelson, N. H., November 18, 1858, his parents being Russell Herbert and Laura Frances Kittredge. He fitted for college privately at Keene, N. H. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank, having an English oration on the Commencement program.

In the fall of 1879 he went to Quincy, Mass., and took a course of instruction as "pupil teacher" under Superintendent Frank Parker, whose "Quincy method" was becoming famous. After a few months he was appointed principal of the Central Grammar School at East Bridgewater, Mass., where he soon demonstrated the possession of the qualities of a natural teacher. From 1882 to 1885 he was principal of the high school at Brandon, Vt., and then for a year and a half of the high school at North Brookfield, Mass., and for the same term at Dover, N. H. In 1886 he went to the high school of Fitchburg, Mass., and in 1890 to Westfield, Mass., where he had remained in continuous service ever since, and had met with distinguished success.

The following is condensed from an appreciation which appeared in the Springfield Republican : "The dominating features of Mr. Kittredge's entire career were duty, regularity, work. To this triumvirate he was true to his last days. The past months, as his friends have noted with regret his failing strength, he allowed himself never to forget this unfailing combination, but kept them constantly in mind and followed them with unerring instinct as long as it was a physical possibility to do so. His last two days at the school were made possible simply by force of will. As a citizen, Mr. Kittredge was public-spirited and generous. He belonged to several organizations, was a charter member of the Get-Together Club 27 years ago, and attended the last meeting of the club. It was to the Westfield Atheneum that he gave much service and thought. As president of the board of trustees he was able to direct the policy of the organization in an excellent manner, and he will be greatly missed by his associates on the board. He was once president of the Y. M. C. A. in its early days. It was to his neighbors and close associates that a fine side of Mr. Kittredge's nature was revealed. His helpfulness and his desire to serve were always present. Possibly no other resident of Westfield was so well known to so many people during nearly two score years. During that long period nearly every local family had come to be associated with the high school at least once and indirectly or directly brought into contact with the principal. However strenuous Mr. Kittredge seemed in his own life and in his administration of the school, he never demanded more than he was willing to give himself, and he was recognized as being eminently fair."

Notwithstanding his devotion to his school work, he found time for many outside activities, and held many honored positions in civic, social, and fraternal organization. He had been mas- ter of the Mt. Moriah lodge of Masons, sachem of Metacomet tribe, Order of Red Men, chancellor of St. Elmo Lodge, Knights of Pythias, president of the Hampden County Teachers' Association and the Classical Teachers' Association of Western Massachusetts. At the time of his death he was a director of the Westfield Cooperative Bank, and a member of the men's clubs of the First and Second Congregational churches, of the Evening Star Royal Arch Chapter, of the Westfield Council Royal and Selected Masters, of the Springfield Commandery Knights Templar, of the Connecticut Consistory, of the New England College and Secondary School Teachers' Association, and of the High School Masters' Club of Massachusetts and the Headmasters Club* of Western Massachusetts. In 1919 he was secretary and a most active member of a committee of citizens who drafted and submitted to the legislature a city charter for Westfield, which that body enacted.

Mr. Kittredge was married July 14, 1885, to Marion M. Thatcher of Brandon, Vt., who survives him. They have two children: Russell D. (Yale 1908), a lawyer in Long Beach, Cal.; Helen L. (Wellesley 1914), a teacher in the school of which her father was so long principal.

The burial was at East Jaffrey, N. H.

CLASS OF 1884

Bertrand Thorp Wheeler died at the Eye and Ear Infirmary, Portland, Me., on March 20, 1928. He had been ill for some months, and failed to rally after an operation for antrum trouble.

Wheeler was born in Lempster, N. H., November 25, 1863. He was the son of Daniel Bingham and Maria (Thorp) Wheeler. When he was one year old, his family moved to Cambridge, Mass. He attended the Shepard Grammar School and the Cambridge High School. Ill health compelled him to drop out of school for a year in 1879. He entered Dartmouth College in the Chandler Scientific Department in 1880, one of the youngest members of the class of 1884. He was class president during one term of sophomore year, and at Commencement was awarded the Hoyt prize for excellence in mechanical drawing.

Soon after graduation Wheeler became a member of the engineering corps of the Old Colony Railroad, and was located at Fitchburg, Mass. In 1895 he was appointed superintendent of streets of Boston by Mayor Curtis. In 1901 he resigned this position, and returned to the work of a railway engineer with the New York, New Haven, and Hartford R. R., with his office in Boston. While superintendent of streets, Wheeler designed and supervised the construction of the West Fourth St. bridge over Fort Point Channel—a masterpiece of engineering skill. He was engineer of construction for the N. Y., N. H., and H. R. R., held the same office for the B. & M. R. R., and was chief engineer of the Boston Terminal Company until 1913. Then President Mellen made him chief engineer of the Maine Central R. R., with his headquarters in Portland. He was also chief engineer of the Portland Terminal Company, which positions he held until his death.

Wheeler was a member of the Republican Club of Massachusetts, the Dartmouth Club of Boston, and of the Engineers Club. He was married to Miss Mabel Alma Cole of Fitchburg, Mass., March 27, 1888. They have had seven children, six of whom with their mother survive him. Two sons, Bertrand Cole and Allan Thorp, were graduated from Dartmouth with the class of 1911.

During his college life Wheeler was popular with his classmates. He was in the Chandler Scientific Department, and did not come in contact with the major body of his classmates in the classroom. To those members of the class who were associated with Wheeler in the classroom, he was endeared by his genial goodfellowship, and was admired because of his 'brilliant intellect, which enabled him satisfactorily to perform the work imposed by the curriculum by the expenditure of a minimum amount of time and effort. That he was well liked by the men taking the classical course is evidenced by his being made president of the class in sophomore year.

Since graduation he has shown his interest in the College and class in numerous ways, and has attended every reunion of his class from 1909 to 1924. In the contacts of these later years, his classmates have learned to know and appreciate the real worth and caliber of the man. He showed unusual ability in his professional work, and was a man of high ideals and had a keen appreciation of the things really worth while in this life. At our last reunion, when called upon to tell of himself and his work, he brushed aside all mention of himself to pay a glowing and appreciative tribute to the noble work our classmate Woodwell had done in small churches in Maine for many years and was then doing in Lyme, N. H., as a respected and well-beloved pastor. His speech was a classic worthy to stand beside Victor Hugo's appreciation of the good bishop in "Les Miserables. " We listened spellbound as he proceeded to tell the story of our classmate's unselfishly sympathetic service. In paying such a tribute to the greatness of a modest unheralded life-work of another, Wheeler showed the greatness of his own character and .manhood as he could not have done in any other way. He was a man of fine instincts and worthy ideals. In his death Dartmouth College and the class of '84 have suffered a great loss. With great respect for him as a man and a genuine affection for him as an honored member, the class of 1884 pays appreciative tribute to his memory. J. P. HOUSTON, Secretary.

CLASS OF 1885

Rev. Daniel Otis Bean died March 9, 1928, at the Fairmont Hospital, San Leandro, Cal. The son of Daniel R. and Nancy Bean, he was born in Limington, Me., September 22, 1860, and fitted at Limington Academy. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi, took final honors in mathematics, and won the Grimes general improvement prize and the second Thayer mathematical prize.

For several years after graduation he was principal of Haverhill (N. H.) Academy. He then studied for two years (1890-2) at Chicago Theological Seminary. For the next four years he was engaged in business, and then took a year of theological study at Yale, where he graduated in 1897. Then followed a succession of short pastorates, which were characterized both by many additions to the membership of the churches and by the solving of their financial problems. He served the following Congregational churches: Fayette, lowa, 1897-8; Strawberry Point, lowa, 1899-1901; West Pullman church in Chicago, 1902-4; New Ulm, Minn., 1904; Campbell and Tintah, Minn., 1904-6; Bellaire, Mich., 1907-8. He was then for a time with Presbyterian churches: Evansville and Ashley, Minn., 1908: Woodland Park church, Seattle, Wash., 1909; Genoa, Colo., 1910; Bovina, Colo., 1911. Since that time he has been largely engaged in real estate and other business matters, making his home in various places in Oregon and Washington, and removing a few years ago to Berkeley, Cal. During this period he has acted as temporary pulpit supply for various churches. He has devoted a great deal of time and effort for several years to the preparation of a genealogy of the Bean family, which must have been nearly completed.

Mr. Bean was never married. A sister, MrsOlive Bean Savary, is now living at Wenham, Mass.

CLASS OF 1907

Urias George Paris died at his home at Hudson Falls, N. Y., February 24, 1928. His death came after a comparatively few hours' illness,, and was due to acute kidney and heart trouble.

U. G. was born August 17, 1883, in Hudson Falls, N. Y., his parents being Charles Rogers: and Alma (Biggart) Paris. His family is one of the most prominent in Washington county. His grandfather, for whom he was named, was a leading lawyer, and his father was county judge for several terms and at the time of his death was a judge of the Court of Claims. He was taken ill on a Thursday afternoon, had a bad spell about three o'clock, and another about 2 a.m. Friday. The nurse gave him stimulants, and he rallied from the second one and they thought he was better. Although he was very ill his people were not greatly alarmed, as he had always been strong and rugged. He changed for the worse about six o'clock, and at 10:20 had another sinking spell and passed away before the doctor could be recalled.

After graduating from college U. G. went into the contracting business building state highways, but gave this up in 1910 to go into business with his uncle in the Robinson-Tuttle Land Company as treasurer and local representative in Victoria, Texas.

He enlisted in the world war with Company M of the 23d Engineers, and was several months in France. After receiving his discharge he was associated with the New York State Highway Commission for several months, and then entered the employ of the Adirondack Power and Light Corporation in the department of rights of way and claims. Here U. G. found a work for which he was well fitted. Interested in construction work and having a sound sense of values, he gave himself unreservedly to his task, with the result that he was twice promoted within a year and was in line for further advancement at the time of his death.

U. G. was never married. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Charles R. Paris, and two sisters, Miss Lola K. Paris and Mrs. J. Leslie Walton.

CLASS OF 1909

Dana Elliott Waldron died of Bright's disease on March 1, 1928, at Colorado Springs, Colo. He was born July 1, 1887, in Portland, Me., the son of Mary Elwell Waldron and the late Flavel B. Waldron.

He attended the public schools in Portland, leaving Portland High School at the end of his junior year to enter Phillips Exeter Academy, where he was graduated in the class of 1905. Entering Dartmouth with the class of 1909, he with a large number of that class went to Wheeler Hall to spend his freshman year. His sophomore year was spent with eleven of his classmates in "Stubby" Wells' old home on North Main St. This group of men formed the nucleus of his intimate friends. Junior year he lived in the old Tri-Kappa house. Upon returning to College that year from his Thanksgiving recess, he was taken suddenly ill with tuberculosis. After several weeks at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, recuperating from this severe attack, he immediately went West to Colorado Springs, where he made his home until his death.

At school and college he was a brilliant scholar, attaining high marks in all of his studies. When he had to leave Dartmouth he was just beginning to get his stride, in that he had finished the first two years' preliminary work with high standing and was getting into pecialized work in which he had keener interest. His ranks, up to this time, had been of Rufus Choate scholarship standing. His undergraduate activities were numerous in the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity, as well as on class committees and on the Aegis board.

Although he never returned to Hanover after leaving college, his intense interest in the College never waned. He followed through the newspapers the progress of the College in an athletic and academic way. In 1926 he attended the Chicago-Dartmouth game at Chicago in company with several of the Dartmouth boys from Denver. That day was one of the happiest of his life in seeing some of his old friends in Chicago and renewing his collegiate acquaintances. He was anticipating another trip to Chicago to see the Chicago-Northwestern game this fall had he lived.

During his early years at Colorado Springs, he could not do any active work. During the war years of 1917 to 1919 he taught radio at Colorado College to navy petty officers sent there for instruction in the Navy Yard. In 1920, as his health improved, he entered the insurance and brokerage firm of Charles D. Hopkins, with whom he was associated until his death.

As diversion from a busy and active community life, he made frequent trips with his friends into the Rocky Mountains, camping, shooting, and fishing. Dana was always keenly interested in his former college classmates, but was not able to keep in personal touch with them. His visits East were not very frequent and all too brief; so that he could not enjoy the ocean on which he had spent many happy days, the city in which he had spent his boyhood, and the friends in the East whom he loved.

He was eminent commander of Pike's Peak Commandery, and secretary of the El Paso lodge of Masons. He was trustee and secretary of the First Congregational church of Colorado Springs, secretary and director of Jewett Field Golf Club, president of the Colorado Springs Insurance Board, member of the El Paso Club and Winter Night Club. He is survived by his mother, Mary Elwell Waldron, and sister, Mabel Waldron Hay ward, both of Portland.

His funeral was held in Portland, Me., on March 5, and interment was in Evergreen Cemetery, Portland.

Maurice Ennis Kivel died September 2. 1927, in.Tujunga, Cal.

He was born in Dover, N. H., January 6, 1885, the son of Judge John (Dartmouth 1876) and Eva G. (Ennis) Kivel. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1905, and was with the class of 1909 about three and a half years. He was the leader of the Freshman Mandolin Club, a member of the Dartmouth Mandolin Club in 1906, '07, and 'OB, and a member of Psi Upsilon. After leaving college on account of poor health, he studied later for a year at the University of Michigan, where he obtained his degree in February, 1910.

After leaving Michigan he was for a short time in advertising business in Philadelphia, and then went to Denver, where he hoped to become cured of his lung trouble. Business opportunities came to him there, but his strength had become so impaired that he was unable to withstand the altitude and winter seasons there. He went to Tucson. Ariz., and finally to Los Angeles. For a year or two he did good work writing scenarios for the Thomas H. Ince Studios in Culver City, Cal. He also contributed stories to the Los AngelesTimes and various Eastern magazines.

Failing again in his strength, Maurice returned to Tucson, but returned to Los Angeles for occasional short visits during the summer months. His final return to California was in the early part of 1927. His condition had become so weakened that the Dartmouth and Exeter alumni got together in sending him down to Sidney Ickes' date ranch in the Coachella Valley to live in a portable cabin which they purchased for him. It was hoped that the warm and very dry air in that section of California, which combines sea level altitude with little humidity, would be helpful to Maurice. By April 1 the temperature had become too high for him there, however, and it was necessary to have him come north to Los Angeles. A comfortable arrangement was procured for Maurice in the little town of Tujunga back in the hills east of Los Angeles, where he lived in a little cabin and had his meals served to him at a house near by.

When the writer last saw him last June, Maurice seemed quite contented and improved in health. After arriving in the East, a letter from him reported still further improvement despite complications which had been developing. However, a sudden relapse brought about his death after he was taken to a hospital in Los Angeles under care of Edgar Hiestand, Dartmouth 1910. "Eck" also made arrangements to have the body shipped back to Maurice's sister, who survived him in Dover, N. H. GEOKGE R. ADAMS '09.

CLASS OF 1922

Ernest Harvie Anthony, who joined the class of 1922 in January, 1919, and who was forced to leave college by ill health in the spring of that year, died at Prescott, Ariz., on October 13, 1927, we have just learned with regret.

Anthony was born February 5, 1900, at Pembroke, Mass., the son of Elizabeth and George F. Anthony. He entered Dartmouth from Pittsford (Vt.) High School. After leaving Dartmouth he went to California, and obtaining some improvement in health he entered the University of California in 1923. His health again compelled him to give up study. Two years later he seemed much better, and was married to Ruby L. Cox at Berkeley, Cal. They removed to Prescott, Ariz., where he became the manager of a sanitarium, and had good reason to look forward to a long if restricted life. Nothing was heard from him for a long time until after mention had been made of him in the Twenty Twoter last spring, he wrote a letter expressing gratified surprise that 1922 should still be interested in him. The Secretary replied, and heard nothing more until the lamentable news of Anthony's death was received.
