CLASS of 1872

DR. ANDREW LOTOS MACMILLAN died at the home of his son, Dr. Andrew L. Mac- Millan, Jr. (Dartmouth 1905), at 20 Auburn St., Concord, N. H., Saturday, November 17, 1928, of angina pectoris, while sitting in his chair surrounded by his family.

The son of Andrew MacMillan, who was a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point in the class of 1821, and a civil engineer and farmer, and of Sarah G. MacMillan, he was born at Danville, Vt., October 28, 1849.

He came of sturdy colonial stock. His grandfather, John MacMillan, was a briga- dier general in the War of 1812, and his great-grandfather, Andrew MacMillan, was a colonel in the Revolutionary War.

He received his early education in his na- tive town, and prepared for college at the St. Johnsbury Academy at St. Johnsbury, Vt., under the able tuition of Prof. J. K. Colby (Dartmouth '3B) and Henry Clay Ide (Dartmouth '66), and entered the class of '72 in the Chandler Scientific Department in 1868 and received his degree in due course. In college he was marked for his genial dis- position and kindly demeanor, beloved by all who had the good fortune to know him well.

After graduation he was for a time em- ployed in a bank at St. Paul, Minn., and later became assistant principal instructing in science for one year in Fort Plain Collegiate Institute at Port Plain, N. Y.; and there- after for another year was principal of the Rensselaerville Academy, N. Y. He took his medical degree upon graduation from the Albany Medical College, Albany, N. Y., in 1879, and in the same year engaged in the practice of his profession at Barnard, Vt., where he remained until 1887.

On September 15, 1880, he was married to Clara A. Wood, daughter of I. N. Wood of Barnard, Vt. In 1887 he removed to Hanover, Mass., and there practiced his profession actively and continuously until his retire- ment during the current year. He was always concerned in the work of public schools and of health associations. For several years he was superintendent of schools at Barnard, Vermont, and for twenty-five years was chairman of the board of health in Hanover, Mass.

During his medical practice his circle of duty extended far into towns surrounding his place of residence, and he performed the double service of physician and surgeon, as was the custom of country physicians in those days and places.

At Hanover, Mass., he had a beautiful estate at North River Bridge, the gardens and terraces of which were a delight to visi- tors. The large residence was filled with a rare collection of antiques, the study of which had been a pleasant diversion to him 'for many years.

He was a member of the Vermont and Massachusetts Medical Societies, the Ameri- can Medical Association, White River Lodge of Masons, Pilgrim Royal Arch Chapter, and Old Colony Lodge Knights Templar, North Abington, Mass. A recent estimate by a publication at his residence says: "He was of a very happy and genial disposition and had a wide circle of|friends."

He had planned to spend his remaining days in happy association with his only child and his two grandchildren, and to that end had acquired a residence at Concord, N. H., the enjoyment of which fate decreed should be too brief.

Besides his widow, Dr. MacMillan is sur- vived by his son, Dr. Andrew L. MacMillan, Jr., of 46 Pleasant St., Concord, N. H., a specialist in diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, whose wife prior to her marriage on June 28, 1918, was Ray Barrington Han- cock. He is also survived by two grand- daughters, Emily and Elizabeth MacMillan, aged respectively eight and six years.

Funeral services were held at St. Andrew's Episcopal church, Hanover, Mass., Novem- ber 20, 1928.

CLASS of 1873

EMILIUS CLARK DUDLEY, recently de- ceased, was born in Westfield, Mass., May 29, 1850, and was the son of John H. and Mariana P. (Mason) Dudley. His father was for some time a teacher, but afterwards a contractor. The son left school when only thirteen years old, and was employed in the drug business until he was eighteen. Under the private teaching of H. H. Scott (Dart- mouth 1871), he studied for a year at Han- over, and entered college in the fall of 1869, continuing his course there in the classical department until his graduation. While receiving a small amount of financial assist- ance from his father, he was obliged to ob- tain far the larger part of his money for college expenses through his own exertions, earning in this manner $lB6O of the $2460 which was his total expense for the four years. During college winters he taught school in Blandford, Mass., in the South- wick (Mass.) Academy, and in the Great Barrington (Mass.) High School. He was vice-president of the class in sophomore year. He was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa at graduation.

After graduation he began at once the study of medicine, attending lectures at Dartmouth in the summer and fall of 1873, then studying for a brief time under Dr. Hubbard at Bridgeport, Conn., then in New Haven, earning his way largely by private tutoring. Entering the Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, he graduated in 1875 as valedictorian of his class. He immediately began the practice of medicine in Chicago. In 1876 he returned to New York city for a time, to fill an appointment to the Charity Hospital. October 1, 1877, he was successful in a competitive examination, and was ap- pointed house surgeon to the Women's Hos- pital, 49th St. and 4th Ave., New York. In the spring of 1878 he returned to Chicago, where in the most successful practice of his profession he spent the remainder of his life, with ever growing reputation, soon becoming a most expert surgeon and a widely known expert in certain lines of gynecological sur- gery, frequently summoned to distant places for consultation and operations requiring the greatest skill. He was a frequent contributor to medical and surgical journals, and was the author of a book of 800 pages on "Principles and Practice of Gynecology." This book was used as a text-book in many medical schools. Professional trips to Europe, Japan, and Canada were made. He was president of the American Gynecological Society and of the Chicago Gynecological Society, was profes- sor of gynecology in Northwestern Univer- sity Medical School for many years, and was gynecologist in St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago. He was one of the founders of the Congres de Gynecologie at d'Obstetrique of Paris, and was fellow of the Royal Society of Medi- cine of England. Many other positions of influence in the broad field of medicine and surgery he occupied. He was a prolific writer for medical journals, and yet was not con- fined to professional topics. He wielded the pen of a ready writer, and recently published a book of reminiscences covering his experi- ences during his life. His style is racy, pic- turesque, and most interesting.

Dr. Dudley retained his loyalty to his col- lege and to his class. We were sure to meet him at our stated reunions. He was present at the most recent reunion only last June. Although only partially recovered from a se- vere stroke of apoplexy, with indomitable will and accompanied by his devoted wife and daughter, he took the arduous trip to Hanover, and at the banquet no one of the men of '73 was more interested and alive to all the postprandial exchange of college anec- dotes. But the call came not long after- wards, and suddenly on the afternoon of December 1, 1928, he died of apoplexy at his home, No. 242 East Walton Place, Chicago.

Dr. Dudley was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, the University and the Wayfarers' Clubs of Chicago, the Army and Navy Club of Washington, D. C., and the Authors' Club of London, England. In 1917 he was commissioned a major in the Officers Reserve Corps.

He married June 29, 1882, Miss Anna M. Titcomb of Chicago. Surviving him, besides Mrs. Dudley, are four daughters, Katherine, Dorothy, Helen, and Caroline. The great grief of Dr. and Mrs. Dudley was the death of their only son, Prescott, two years ago. Dr. and Mrs. Dudley have taken a prominent part in the social life of Chicago, and their home has been a gathering place for interest- ing and able men and women. An oil painting of Dr. Dudley is in the new Baker Library of Dartmouth College.

CLASS of 1878

JOHN MILTON JOHNSON died at his home in Londonderry, N. H., August 9, 1928. He was born at Manchester, September 21, 1854, son of William B. Johnson. He pre- pared for college, in part, at Manchester High School, and seems to have entered Tufts, but spent the summer of 1874 in Han- over as a "paene," making up some deficien- cies in preparation, and thus was so much more familiar with college traditions than the rest of us that we turned to him as leader in the various adventures that seem so momentous to freshmen. He was the first president of the class of 1878, and so gained the pet name of "Prexie" by which class- mates still distinguish him. He was also the first football captain, which however relates to a very different game from any now recog- nized under that title.

At the end of freshman year, Mr. Johnson left college and entered the employ of the Fitchburg Railroad, in whose service and that of the Fitchburg Division of the Boston and Maine he continued until his retirement about 1910. While in this position he wrote the class secretary, "My hands are never idle, so there is no chance for mischief to creep in and make bad habits."

Soon after leaving college he was married to Miss Nellie Plummer, who survives him, and his domestic life seems to have been exceptionally happy. His two sons and his one daughter all married and settled within visiting distance, and he reported that he' found his greatest enjoyment in his grand- children, of whom ten are living. His deepest grief was in the loss of his daughter, then Mrs. Northrop, who succumbed to the influ- enza during the epidemic of wartime. His second son, H. William, graduated from Harvard Medical School, and is now a prac- ticing physician at Gorham, N. H. Dr. Johnson says of his father that he was "mostly a home man in the last fifteen years, caring for his wife, who suffered intensely with neuritis."

Upon retiring from railroad employ lie settled upon a farm in Londonderry, N. H. (post office, Derry), where he said he was "trying to make ends meet," enjoyed work on the farm, found it kept him in good trim so that he ate well and slept well, but re- gretted that his wife's health was not equally good. In a later report he observed that he was "not much of a farmer, usually spent his winters in Boston, and found it necessary to travel somewhat on account of Mrs. John- son's health.

Subsequently he purchased a winter home in St. Petersburg, Fla., and with Mrs. John- son went South regularly for the winter months. From his winter home he wrote last January that he hoped to attend reunion in June, but he was unable to come. Since a severe illness in 1926 his health had been much impaired. His son writes, "He was always very keen about his college, and followed the wonderful growth of Dartmouth all through my association with him. He was very much disappointed at not attending his 50th Reunion, but came North very tired."

Mr. Johnson was a Republican in politics and always interested in political affairs, but took no public part therein. He was a mem- ber of the Congregational church, and of Pequossette Lodge, A. F. and A. M., of Watertown.

CLASS of 1879

The death of REV. EDWIN CHARLES HOL- MAN, which occurred in New York city De- cember 3, 1927, has only recently been re- ported.

He was born May 81, 1858, in Lockeford, Cal., but came to college from New Ipswich, N. H. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. He left college at the end of sopho- more year.

He studied in preparation for the ministry at Oberlin Theological Seminary in 1880-1, and at Yale Divinity School in 1881-3. For the next year he was pastor of the Third Congregational church of Middletown, Conn., and then resumed his studies at Andover Seminary, where he graduated in 1885. In 1885-6 he was pastor at Littleton, N. H., from 1886 to 1892 of Center church, Haver- hill, Mass., and then to 1895 at Oskaloosa, lowa. Prom 1895 to 1906 he was engaged in literary work in Boston. In 1906 he became field secretary of the International Sunshine Society, with headquarters in New York city, and was engaged in that and other forms of welfare work for the rest of his life.

June 6, 1883, Mr. Holman was married to Helen E. Gordon of New Ipswich, N. H.

CLASS of 1887

JOSEPH TROWBRIDGE CUNNINGHAM was born in Portsmouth, N. H., October 28, 1864, the son of James and Anna (Savage) Cunningham. He fitted for college at the local high school, and entered Dartmouth with the class of 1887, graduating with the degree of B. S.

The tallest mail of the class and of com- manding presence, "Shorty," as he was known to his college mates, was a natural leader in college activities, the life of the group wherever met. Keen at repartee and endowed with a strong sense of humor, he will be greatly missed by his surviving class- mates and many friends. He served as Aegis editor, and was a member of the Vitruvian society (now Beta Theta Pi) and of Sphinx.

On graduation he was associated with Keeler and Company, furniture manufac- turers of Boston, and later entered the hotel business in Boston, at one time being proprie- tor of Hotel Oxford. Later he was connected at different times with Allis-Chambers Com- pany, the Christensen Engineering Company, and the National Brake and Electric Com- pany. About 1915 he entered the employ of the Flatbush Water Works, Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1916 became treasurer, and later superintendent, retaining the latter position till his death, although the concern had sold out to the Federal Water Service Corpora- tion.

He was married April 4, 1901, and is sur- vived by his wife and three children, Dorothy Ann (now Mrs. Arthur A. Curtin), Kay Dana, and Joseph Savage Cunningham.

He held membership in the Sons of the American Revolution, Dartmouth College Club of New York, the Engineers' Club, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Water Works Association.

Our classmate never fully recovered from a severe attack of pneumonia, and had been in failing health for some time. The end came at Brooklyn, N. Y., October 30, 1928.

Classmates Dartt and Hadlock attended the funeral services, but the interment was at Littleton, N. H.

CLASS of 1889

FREDERICK TILSON BRADISH died at Brattleboro, Vt., September 19, 1928. He was born at Randolph, Vt., October 5, 1865, the son of Alonzo G. and Ruth M. (Tilson) Bradish. He prepared for college in the Randolph schools, entered and graduated (A B.) with our class. The three years fol- lowing graduation were spent in a bank in Cleveland, Ohio. From 1892 to 1905 he was in Boston, engaged in the manufacture of metal specialties and dairy supplies. From 1905 to 1918 he was with the Vermont Farm Machinery Company in Bellows Falls, and in 1918 formed a partnership with George H. Soule of St. Albans. This firm did a large business in manufacturing sugar-making utensils, including the King evaporator, and also in producing and marketing maple syrup and maple sugar. About three years ago ill health compelled him to retire tem- porarily from business, and he was never able to return to active duty. Bradish was married June 29, 1898, at Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, to Martha J. Mac- Aleese, who died October 18, 1925. There were four children and all survive. Robert F. graduated from Dartmouth in 1923 and from the medical department of the Univer- sity of Vermont in 1926. On receiving his degree he entered the army, served for a time in the Walter Reed Hospital in Wash- ington, and at present is stationed at the Letterman General Hospital, San Francisco. The second son, John, is a junior at the Uni- versity of Vermont, and the daughters, Margaret and Bettine, are living in or near Boston.

Bradish attended our reunions in 1914 and 1919.

CLASS of 1893

DB. ELLSWORTH FRANK ROSS, a member of this class through freshman year, died at Harlowton, Mont., November 12, 1928, of cancer of the stomach, having been in failing health for some two years, though able to do his work until a few months before the end.

He was born in Huntington, Vt., May 28, 1865, his parents being Sanford and Electa (Lewis) Ross. After leaving college he pur- sued the study of medicine at the University of Vermont, where he obtained his medical degree in 1895. After doing some graduate work in New York city, he began practice at Wales, Mass., in 1895, and remained there ten years. In 1905 he went to Montana, and was two years at Lewistown and two years company physician in the employ of the Great Northern Railroad during construction days. In 1909 he located in Harlowton, where he has since been engaged in active and successful practice. October 8, 1918, he was commissioned first lieutenant in the United States Medical Corps, and served with the Coast Defense Artillery at Fort Casey, Puget Sound, Wash. He held the position of health officer for his county.

Dr. Ross was a Mason and an Elk, also a member of the Sons of the American Revolu- tion, the American Legion, the Chamber of Commerce, and Kiwanis Club, and of his state and county medical societies.

He was never married, and his nearest surviving relative is a twin brother, Elmer Fred Ross of Yuma, Ariz.

The local paper says of him: "Although rather brusque in speech and gruff in manner, yet he was most sensitive in nature and kindly at heart. Always a student, he was especially interested in zoology. He kept in touch with the progress of his profession by extensive reading and experiment, while for diversion he liked to read poetry, travel, and biography. In the past few years Dr. Ross has spent considerable time in travel, and has played golf enthusiastically for recreation."

Until very recently Dr. Ross was lost to his classmates, and is marked as not living in the latest edition of the General Catalogue.

CLASS of 1903

The following is taken from the ChicagoTribune of December 2, 1928:

"HENRY ALEXANDER HAUGAN, 50 years old, chairman of the board of the State Bank of Chicago, died suddenly yesterday on a Santa Fe train near Las Vegas, N. M.„ while en route to the west coast with Mrs. Haugan. They had intended to meet their son, Henry, Jr., in California on his return from South America.

"The body was taken from the train at Las Vegas, and will be returned to Chicago for burial. Funeral plans will be announced later.

"Mr. Haugan was born in Chicago, August 14, 1878. He attended the Chicago schools, and then went to Dartmouth, graduating there in 1903.

"It was in the same year that he began his career in the financial world, working suc- cessively as messenger, clerk, teller, assistant cashier, and vice-president in the State Bank. He was a vice-president for ten years, from 1909 to 1919, when he was made president at the age of forty, succeeding Leroy Goddard. He became chairman of the board of direc- tors in 1926.

"It is told of him that while at Dartmouth Mr. Haugan was a member of the staff of the college paper, and that he was the only man who has ever been able to make the paper pay for itself.

"His clubs were the Bankers', University, Midday, Chicago, Glenview, Swedish and Norwegian, and the Chicago Athletic Asso- ciation.

"He resigned the presidency of the State Bank because of poor health, and was suc- ceeded by the late Ralph Van Vechten, who occupied the post for only a year before his own death."
