CLASS OF 1866

THOMAS PEARSON KINSLEY died in New Haven, Conn., September 23, 1930.

He was born in Manchester, N. H., October 11, 1845, the son of Benjamin and Eliza Ann (Pearson) Kinsley, and prepared for the Chandler Scientific Department in the public schools of his native city. He was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity (now Sigma Chi). '

After graduation he entered upon a long career as civil engineer. For about nine years he was with the Brooklyn Park Commission, most of the time as division engineer. He was then several years engaged in railroad construction work in New York, Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. In 1890 he was a member of the firm that rebuilt fifty miles of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. As superintendent and contractor he constructed thirty miles of track on an electric street railroad in Baltimore. From 1900 for eight years he was contractor's engineer for three and a half miles of the New York subway, and was also contractor for about a mile of concrete foundation for the elevated structure of the subway. For two years he was superintendent of quarry and crushing plant required on nine miles of the New York aqueduct. Some more recent contracts include work on laying out Prospect Park, Brooklyn, on Far Rockaway Pier, on the Western Maryland Railway, and in still more recent years he has been engaged in planning and beautifying numerous country estates near Cleveland. He retired from active professional work in 1923, since which time he has made his home in New Haven. At the time of his death he was the senior member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, his membership dating from 1873.

So busy was he with his work during the spring and summer seasons of all his active years that his first return to Dartmouth to an alumni gathering occurred in 1926, the sixtieth anniversary of his graduation, when he was one of three members present.

November 16, 1871, Mr. Kinsley was married to Marion O. Blake, who survives him, with their two daughters, Mrs. Frank T. Woodruff of New Haven and Mrs. Edwin L. Eindley of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

CLASS OF 1872

JUDGE ALFRED RANDALL EVANS died at the Maine General Hospital in Portland, Me., September 7, 1930, after an operation succeeding an illness and treatment at the same hospital.

The son of Otis Evans, a farmer of probity and good repute, and of Martha D. Pinkham, daughter of Daniel Pinkham, a well-known pioneer of Northern New Hampshire who stamped his name on the "Notch" or eastern passage through the White Mountains, he was born at Shelburne, N. H., March 21, 1849. His father's family came from Wales, and its descendants are widely distributed throughout the United States.

Judge Evans prepared for college at the academy at Lancaster, N. H., and at Nichols Latin School of Lewiston, Me., and entered Dartmouth in 1868 with the class of '72. While in college he was a close and persistent student, acquiring and retaining a good rank in class and general work. He was a member of Psi Upsiloß, and was regularly graduated with the class. He soon entered upon his legal studies in the office of Albert S. Twitchell at Gorham, N. H., and was admitted to the New Hampshire bar at Lancaster, N. H., in April, 1875. As was usual in those days, he received his professional training entirely in a leading law office, and acquired the knowledge of the details of the practice from a participation in the routine of the duties of the office, and was so successful that upon his admission to the bar he was also admitted as a partner of his preceptor, and was a member of the firm of Twitchell and Evans until 1879. After that date he developed a larger and growing business in his own name at Gorham, N. H., and handled many of the most important cases in that region and gained recognition as one of the leaders of the New Hampshire bar. He was admitted to the U. S. Circuit Court in 1889.

On January 1, 1895, he was made judge of probate for Coos county, and so conducted the onerous, varied, and intricate duties to which were joined the jurisdiction over probate and insolvency proceedings that it became to him a source of satisfaction that after a service of over 24 years on the bench no jury had ever overturned his findings on the facts in any contested case and no appeal from his rulings had ever reached the Supreme Court of the state. According to his own statement, he was convinced that his greatest service was rendered by conciliating contending parties and producing adjustments and settlements of controversies, thus ending family bitterness and strife. He retired under the constitutional provision as to disqualification at the age of 70.

At the time of his retirement the members of the bar at Lancaster tendered him a complimentary luncheon, and among other tributes it was then stated:

"His countless friends recognize that he is still possessed of the spirit of youth, and abundantly able to carry on the work of his office. Judge Evans has conducted the probate work in a manner which may never be duplicated, and his friendships among the lawyers have increased with the years."

He took an active part in the organization of the Berlin National Bank in February, 1891, which bank was located at Berlin, N. H., one of the most important industrial communities in the state of New Hampshire. He became a member of the original board of directors and was elected president, and continued in that office for ten years, when he declined re-election.

He was also chosen president of the Gorham Savings Bank in 1901, and so continued until the time of his death.

In 1874 he was elected on the Republican ticket to the state legislature, and represented Shelburne for three successive terms. Although he was always prominent in the councils of the Republican party and was a staunch party man, in 1902 he was chosen by the unanimous vote of both political parties and served as delegate from his district to the New Hampshire State Constitutional Convention in that year; ten years later, in 1912, and again in 1918, 1920, 1921, and in 1930 he was elected by all parties and served as delegate to similar conventions.

Judge Evans was at various times chairman of the superintending school committee and member of the board of selectmen. He was also president of the Berlin-Gorham Bar Association and of the Coos County Bar Association, and the organizer of the Gorham Public Library and for many years its trustee and chief supporter.

In connection with the military organization of the state of New Hampshire he was also prominent. He was made quartermaster-general on the staff of Gov. Charles M. Floyd, and was subsequently reappointed by Gov. Quimby and Gov. Bass for two later terms, thus serving for five years, until there was a reorganization of staff officials. He was also an honorary member of the New Hampshire Veterans Association. In Masonic circles he took the thirty-second degree, was affiliated with Gorham Lodge No. 73, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Gorham, and was its secretary for more than thirty years. He was also a member of Mount Hayes Chapter, No. 27, Royal Arch Masons, of Berlin, of Evening Star Council, Royal and Select Masters, of Colebrook, of North Star Commandery, Knights Templar, of Lancaster, and of New Hampshire Consistory, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons. Judge Evans was a Congregationalist and a deacon of that church at Gorham, and not only contributed liberally in advice as to the management of its affairs but also in funds for its maintenance and support.

In addition to his other services to the community in which he lived he was the active cause of procuring at a nominal cost the land which is now the public park and playground of Gorham, with all its opportunities for exercise and refreshment. His part in this transaction was carefully guarded from publicity during his lifetime, but has now become known through the disclosure by a close friend residing at a distant place in Massachusetts. This circumstance is in complete harmony with his conduct in college and later days. Judge Evans was always a loyal Dartmouth man, and attended the annual Commencement exercises, where he frequently renewed the associations of his college days, and was a liberal but unostentatious contributor to the Tucker Alumni Fund.

A printed and published estimate of Judge Evans dated September 11, 1930, reads as follows: "In his social relations Judge Evans was of a genial disposition, and he attached to himself a host of staunch friends in his own community and through his county and state, to whom he was no less staunch and faithful. He was an interesting narrator of the early history of his native and adopted towns and of their founders and later inhabitants. He had a wide acquaintance with men of political importance throughout the state as well as men of affairs,, and followed closely political and business events. He was of high and uncompromising moral standards, and led a pure and blameless life which no breath of scandal ever marred. While he was an uncompromising enemy of vice and wrongdoing, he was never a man who spoke ill of the moral character of any person or aided in the circulation of scandals, but while regretting, he was charitable to one's faults.

"In his professional life he was a wise, faithful, and safe counselor, and merited and held the confidence of all who sought his aid and advice. In his business affairs and relations he was of unimpeachable integrity, appreciation of which was evidenced by the responsible financial positions with which his fellowmen honored him. He took an honest and merited pride in the thought that in all of his business life he had acted with the highest sense of honor.

"Judge Evans was devoted to his many responsibilities and the work of his office, and up to the very last put in long hours there almost daily. He was never a strong man physically, but his mental alertness and keenness were undiminished by age. His long span of life can be attributed to his excellent and regular habits and the consciousness of duties well and faithfully performed.

"He has gone from our midst, and these village streets and the places he frequented will see his erect form and pleasant face no more. He has left a vacant place in all the various activities and relations of his life which it will be difficult to fill. He will be greatly missed in social, church, business, and town affairs, but he will not be soon forgotten. His works and the shining example of a life well spent will live long after the pure, strong spirit that was given him has taken its flight to that rest and reward that we are fain to believe awaits all faithful souls. His excellencies of life will be a pleasant memory for all who were fortunate enough to know and feel its kindly influences and an inspiring example for all who survive him to emulate.

"To his surviving widow and all others of his family that held him in close affection, the community extends its heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their bereavement and joins with them in sorrowing for their dead."

Judge Evans married June 1, 1880, Mrs. Dora J. Briggs, who died May 10, 1908. He again on December 14, 1911, married Mrs. Marion J. Aldrich of Colebrook, N. H., who survives him; also surviving him are Charles W. Briggs of Sanford, Me., and Mrs. Roy K. Freeman of Portland, Me., children of his first wife, who were reared and educated by him and who lived in his home during their minority. He cherished and bestowed upon them such kindness and affection as a kind parent would feel for children of his own flesh and blood.

On Wednesday, September 10, 1930, the body lay in state in the Congregational church at Gorham, N. H., of which he was deacon. Funeral services were held later in the same day at which the Rev. William Sinclair officiated, and Masonic services were performed at the church, and the grave in the Lary Cemetery.

JOHN GREENFIELD died July 29, 1930, at his home in Rochester, N. H., after a long illness.

He was born in Rochester, March 28, 1849, the son of Charles and Aroline B. (Downs) Greenfield, and fitted for college at New Hampshire Conference Seminary and Phillips Exeter Academy. He remained with the class only a few weeks, leaving on account of ill health.

He became a farmer in his native town, but early became interested in other forms of business and in public affairs. In 1876 he was elected selectman, and received five reelections. From 1879 to 1888 he was sheriff of Strafford county, and was postmaster at Rochester from 1891 to 1895. He also served seven years in the city council. He was one of the organizers of the Rochester Water Works, and was its first superintendent. For many years he was a trustee of the Norway Plains Savings Bank and of the Rochester Trust Company. He was a member of many Masonic bodies and the Eastern Star.

September 20, 1890, he was married to Mary A. Smith, who survives him, with two sisters. They had no children.

CLASS OF 1873

CHARLES FERNANDO EASTMAN, son of Jonathan and Mary A. (Dow) Eastman, was born January 19, 1851, in Sutton, Vt. After his preparatory studies, he entered Dartmouth College, taking the Chandler Scientific course with the class of 1873. His unusual musical talent revealed itself early in life. During his college course he was the leader of the Vitruvian Musical Association, in which he played first violin. He remained at college only two years, and after leaving college he studied music for a year in Boston.

Practically his entire life was devoted to music. Besides being a noteworthy violin artist, he occupied a prominent place among flute and piccolo musicians. As organizer and leader of Eastman's orchestra, he played many engagements in Manchester and was particularly active at the Manchester Opera House, now the New Strand of that city. His headquarters from 1874 to 1880 were in Concord, N. H., from 1880 to 1897 in ManChester, N. H., and from 1897 to 1902 in Portsmouth; N. H. From 1902 to 1907 he was in Concord, N. H., then for one year, 1907, he led an orchestra in Atlanta, Ga. In 1908 he began an engagement at the Hayward Cafe, Boston, from which after several years he resigned. At the time of his death he was a member of Dwyer's brass band of Haverhill, Mass., and of the Haverhill Masonic band. For seventeen years he had resided on River Road, Merrimacport, Mass., in the home of his son Harold. His death occurred Tuesday, September 9, 1930, due to a sudden attack of heart disease.

At the time when he was in college, the Chandler Scientific Department had an unusually fine orchestra, of which W. B. Douglas, of the class of 1871, was conductor. In this orchestra C. F. Eastman played first violin and M. T. Jones '73 second violin. A letter from a former pastor of the Congregational church in Merrimac bears testimony to the willingness of Mr. Eastman to add to the interest of any church festival or social occasion by contributing some musical selection.

He married, November 9, 1884, Miss Fannie V. Dean of Peterboro, N. H., who is dead. He is survived by Marian D. Eastman of New York city, Hazel K. Eastman of Rochester, N. Y., Harold R. Eastman of Merrimacport, Mass., Ralph W. Eastman of North Conway, N. H., and Allan Eastman of San Diego, Cal. Mr. Eastman was a member of Bethany Lodge, A. F. & A. M.

CLASS OF 1874

VICTOR IRA SPEAR died at his summer home at Randolph Center, Vt., on the early morning of July Is, 1930. He had been in failing health from valvular heart disease for some time, but did not give up work until about a month before his death.

He was born in Braintree, Vt., September 20, 1852, the son of Jacob Almon and Caroline (Flint) Spear. His early education was obtained at the rural schools of Braintree and at Randolph Academy, where he prepared for the Chandler Scientific Department. He was a member of the Vitruvian fraternity (now Beta Theta Pi).

He taught for the first three years after graduation, and then returned to his native town to assist his parents in the conduct of the home farm. He early became interested with his father in raising sheep, specializing in Merinos and keeping large flocks. In 1884 he began to ship Merinos to Montana, continuing to do so with success for quite a period. He also dealt largely in wool, selling on commission.

He early began a public career that extended over many years. In 1880 he represented his town in the lower house of the state legislature, and was a state senator in 1886. In 1890 he was appointed by Governor C. S. Page a member of the State Board of Agriculture, and was three times reappointed, serving until 1898. In 1892 he was appointed statistical secretary of the board, and prepared an illustrated book on Vermont of which 40,000 copies were distributed from the Vermont Building at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. In 1896-8 he was secretary of the board. In 1892 he received strong support in the Republican state convention as a candidate for governor. In 1896 he was a delegate to the Republican national convention. From 1902 to 1905 he was chairman and secretary of the State Cattle Commission.

In 1899 with others he organized and established at Randolph the Vermont Maple Sugar Market for the handling of maple products, and was its active agent and moving spirit for the rest of his life. The Market built up a country-wide patronage, sending maple sugar in its various forms to nearly every state in the Union. Some years after the establishment of the Market Mr. Spear gave up his active connection with farming and removed to Randolph, where he made his home for the remainder of his life. He was a member of the University Club, the Christian Brotherhood, the Masonic order, and the Grange.

December 29, 1886, he was married to Abbie Maria, daughter of James and Maria Welch and widow of William Davis, who died February 4, 1912. They had no children, and cousins were Mr. Spear's nearest surviving relatives

The following tribute is taken from the Randolph Herald and News: "Mr. Spear was a kindly man, highly regarded by everybody for his many virtues. Of quiet demeanor, he never pressed himself to the front, but always did his part in every good work, not only in public affairs, where he could be counted on with certainty, but in helpfulness to individuals. His strong points were constancy to principle and level-headed good judgment. He was never swept off his feet, but after weighing all questions from all angles formed his decision, and was never at a loss to give reason for the faith that was in him,"

He was loyal to his class and to the College, and was always present at class reunions. Thus it was fitting that of the six pall-bearers at his funeral four should be Dartmouth men -—E. W. Tewksbury '9l, Dr. J. P. Gifford '94, E. G. Ham '94, and L. W. Webster 'O4.

CLASS OF 1875

THOMAS DUNHAM LUCE died at his home in Nashua, N. H., July 15, 1930, after a short illness.

The son of Charles Allen and Lydia Chase (Dunham) Luce, he was born in Vineyard Haven, Mass., August 25, 1853. His home from boyhood was in Manchester, N. H., and he prepared for college at the high school of that city. His fraternity was Kappa Kappa Kappa. He mantained a high standard of scholarship, was awarded in junior year the first prize for composition of a Latin ode, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

After graduation he read law in an office in Manchester, and was admitted to the bar in October, 1877, beginning practice at once in Manchester. He had been clerk of the Police Court of Manchester from August, 1876, to February, 1877, and in March, 1885, he was appointed assistant clerk of the Supreme Court for Hillsboro county. June 1, 1887, he was appointed clerk of that court (since known as the Superior Court), and held that position to the time of his death. In May, he removed to Nashua, where he has since made his home.

The following tribute from a local paper will show the estimation in which he was held by his fellow citizens: "Throughout his long career in this office he devoted himself assiduously to its tasks. His mastery of its details was amazing, as was his grasp of questions of practice and procedure. His extended service, his fund of information, and his high professional standing alike were recognized by his professional brethren and by the public. Mr. Luce presented a rare combination of qualities. He was insistent upon close adherence to the established forms of procedure; in this respect he was known as a strict constructionist. Yet his sincere kindliness and liking for his fellows was given demonstration again and again in his helpfulness to younger members of the bar. Although he so closely identified himself with his official duties, Mr. Luce had a wide circle of interests. He kept himself, for instance, in touch with his college and its activities, including its athletic contests. He particularly liked football, and acquainted himself with the details of many hard-fought contests on the gridiron. Though he preferred personally to shun the limelight and had no ambitions for political office, he had a keen interest in public events and was widely read on many subjects. Utterly without ostentation, he filled an important place in the community."

Mr. Luce was a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association and had been president of the Hillsboro Bar Association. He had no fraternal connections, but was a member of the First Congregational church.

April 14, 1881, he was married to Sarah Elizabeth Nichols of Merrimack, N. H., who survives him. They have had five children: Charles Lyman of Nashua (Dartmouth 1903); Thomas Dunham, Jr. (Dartmouth 1905), who died in 1921; Mary Elizabeth (Mrs. Hughes), who is not living; Richard of Nashua; Margaret Nichols (Mrs. Bruce) of Nashua.

CLASS OF 1883

JOSEPH FRANK MOORE died in California on February 20, 1930. He had not been well for four years, but was active until June 7, 1928, when his hip was fractured in an accident just as he was about to leave Minneapolis for Hanover, to attend the 45th anniversary of his class. He was confined to the hospital for three months, and then was brought home, where he was shut in for most of the winter. He seemed to improve and feel fairly well during the next summer, but in the fall commenced to fail again. In January he went with Mrs. Moore to California, but continued to fail until he passed away on the date given above.

He was a son of Joseph Austin and Nancy J. (King) Moore, and was born in Georgetown, Ohio, February 12, 1860. His fraternity was Kappa Kappa Kappa.

For four years after graduation he was principal of the Analostan Grammar School in Washington, D. C-, meanwhile studying at the Law School of Columbian (now George Washington) University, where he received the degree of LL.B. in 1885 and of LL.M. in 1886. In 1887 he went to Minneapolis and was admitted to the Minnesota bar He never engaged in practice, however, but with his brother, the late Henry L. Moore '77, formed the firm of Moore Brothers, real estate, loans, and insurance. The firm was very successful in its business enterprises, and he was able to retire from the active management some ten years ago.

June 22, 1893, he was married to Flora M. Truax, who survives him, with a daughter, Florence, now Mrs. Geren M. Baird of Memphis, Tenn., and a son, Joseph J. Moore, of Los Angeles, Cal. There are also two grandchildren.

CLASS OF 1886

ELMER FRANCIS BOTSFORD died at his home in Plattsburg, N. Y., July 8, 1930. He had been in poor health for some time, and under medical advice spent the winter in California. While there, he suffered a stroke of paralysis on February 19 from which he did not fully recover, though he was sufficiently improved to allow his return home early in June. On July 1 he had a severe bilious attack, and then the heart worked badly and the end came.

He was born in Burke. N. Y., November 24, 1861, his parents being Henry and Jennie (Bromley) Botsford, and prepared for college at Franklin Academy, Malone, N. Y. He was a member of Psi Upsilon

The first year after graduation he taught an academy at Franklin, Vt., and later taught a high school at West Chazy, N. Y. Meanwhile he studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1889, beginning practice at once at Plattsburg. From the first he met with excellent success. Upon the discovery of gold in the Klondike region by Joseph Ladue, who came from Mr. Botsford's county, he organized and became counsel to the Ladue Mining Company, and as its legal adviser made as many as seven trips to Alaska and the Klondike.

He had many business interests, including New York city real estate and the development of suburban property on Long Island. He was president of the Valley Stream Realty Company and the St. Albans Terrace Company, vice-president of the Plattsburg-Floral Park Realty Company, director and attorney of the First National Bank of Plattsburg, and director of the Commercial Union Co-operative Bank of Albany.

While never seeking public office, through the urgent demand of his fellow-citizens he had held many positions in the city, including those of corporation counsel, acting mayor, and member of practically every board in the city government. Always interested in community service, he was for many years president of the Clinton County Agricultural Society, an active member of the Kiwanis Club, president of the Riverside Cemetery Association, and director of the New York Association of County Agricultural Societies. Deeply interested in the protection of bird life, he was president of the Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society.

In Masonry he was past commander of De Soto Commandery (Knight Templar), and in 1926 was grand patron of the Order of the Eastern Star of the State of New York.

June 20, 1892, he was married to Katherine L., daughter of Dr. E. M. and Mary (Benedict) Lyon of Plattsburg, who survives him, with their son, Benedict.

Mr. Botsford was possessed of unusual executive ability, which found recognition in his selection as officer or advisor in the numerous business organizations which he served, as well as in his election and appointment to responsible positions in the public service. He was an enthusiast in whatever he undertook. Possessed of untiring energy and a willingness to work, he saw to it that the duties under his charge were efficiently performed.

He was essentially a social body. Fraternal work had a great appeal for him. He found an outlet for this natural bent in the Masonic orders, in which he filled many chairs and found the culmination of his ambition in service as grand patron of the order of the Eastern Star of his state. He took seriously all the obligations, and was painstaking in the ritualistic work of the order. But it was in the philanthropic work of that society, as well as of the various civic organizations to which he belonged, that he found his greatest joy. His motto was, "I like to assist the other fellow."

His family life was ideal. His great comradeship with his wife and only son was a reflection of the qualities of mind and heart which characterized his attitude toward the world at large. He was one of the most companionable men of his college class. His low, friendly voice and kind grey eyes endowed him with an especial capacity for making friends, and he had many in all the various fields of his endeavors. He was generous. The wives of his classmates, as an evidence of this quality, each treasure a gold nugget which he brought from the Alaskan field where he spent several years. His cheerfulness was an inspiration to those about him. He was very fond of quoting poetry, with which his mind was stored. His outlook upon life and the future is exemplified by a toast which he proposed for the Fifteenth Reunion when circumstances forbade him to attend: "Here is to those that can smile through their tears, Can laugh in the midst of a sigh, Can mingle their youth with their years, On the road to the sweet by-and-by."

GEORGE EDWARD WHITEHILL died instantaneously of cerebral hemorrhage at Caspian Lake, Vt., on the morning of September 10, 1930. The following Sunday, services were held from the Baptist church at Everett, Mass., the Rev. L. O. Williams of Buffalo, an old roommate and classmate, sharing in the obsequies.

Dr. Whitehill was born at Peacham, Vt., October 22, 1860. His father was Peden Cargill Whitehill, grandson of James, who with a brother Abraham came from Scotland to Vermont in 1798. The house they built and the church in which they worshiped in North Ryegate are in use at the present day. Peden Whitehill enlisted in the Civil War, and died in Florida in 1864, only thirteen days after his brother Calvin Knox had suffered the same fate.

The mother was Sarah Elizabeth Pearson, daughter of a minister and cousin of Professor Kendall, late of the department of history at Wellesley College. In 1874 she became the wife of Enos Stevens of the noted Stevens family of Barnet, Vt., which counted among its members George, of General Taylor's staff during the Mexican War; Simon, the lawyer in Washington and friend of Horace Greeley; Henry and Benjamin Franklin, who went to London, both becoming authorities in the book world, one in connection with the British Museum and the other as American dispatch agent connected with the State Department at Washington; and a sister who married William Page, the famous artist. Thaddeus was a distant relative—a large portrait of him being the most conspicuous object in the Doctor's room during college days. With the Whitehill on one side and the Pearson-Stevens influence on the other, the boy was doomed to distinction, whatever the difficulties in the way.

He was brought up on a farm, sometimes at home but often with relatives. He attended school in Peacham and later at the Academy, then as for years after under the direction of Charles A. Bunker of the class of 1864, but his attendance was too desultory to give him preeminence as a scholar. Among his schoolmates, though several years younger, was George Harvey, afterward editor of Harper's Weekly and ambassador to the Court of Saint James. He never forgot and never quite forgave the severity of the moral and religious discipline of an aunt with whom he passed some of his boyhood years. In addition to the training so well depicted by President Coolidge, Whitehill felt the added rigidity of a Scotch background.

Huge of body and a giant in strength, he entered Dartmouth in 1882. In all the class struggles he was a distinct asset. On the mental side his interests were largely practical. In his choice of studies he inclined toward the scientific and useful. But even here like half his classmates he was crippled by inadequate preparation. Moreover the financial need kept him teaching country schools when he should have been attending to his college work. He sought no class office, and joined no Greek fraternity until his junior year, when he became a charter member of the Phi Delta Theta, at that time introduced into the College. He was one of the editors of The Dartmouth, in which position he took much pride. He belonged to the Y. M. C. A., and was always to be counted with the Christian forces of the institution. He was one of the men of the class, as distinguished from classmates of less mature judgment and purpose

The autumn after graduation he became principal of the high school at Garden Grove, lowa For two years he served as instructor at Cornell College at Mount Vernon in the same state. In 1889 he became superintendent of schools at lola, Kansas, remaining until 1891, when he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Boston, from which he was graduated two years later. With a year as interne at the Massachusetts Infirmary in Tewksbury, he settled at Everett, with whose interests he was identified the remainder of his life.

Dr. Whitehill was more than the routine practitioner of medicine. He had an eye for the public aspects of his art. He soon became city physician, member of the board of health, and member of the school board for many years. With the establishment of the Whidden Memorial Hospital he became a member of the staff and secretary of the managing board. It was in this capacity that he foresaw the need of greater hospital facilities and began his long campaign of public education to that end. Quietly yet thoroughly, persistently yet patiently, in season and out of season, he stuck to his purpose. It was a fitting coincidence that ground was broken for the new hospital the day its most faithful friend fell dead.

In his later years Dr. Whitehill became interested in historical matters. He was specially concerned in preserving the memorials of the family whose name he bore. Through his inspiration and effort a gathering of the clan was held at the old stone house in Ryegate at which eight hundred people were present. With the death of his only surviving uncle, he was one of the foremost to begin a movement to found a Whitehill Association which should preserve the ancestral home as a social center for the community where it stands It was in carrying out this purpose that death touched him. As the hospital in Everett may serve as a monument to his interest in his adopted city, so may this enterprise serve as a reminder of the race from which he sprang.

The Doctor was an out-of-doors man. He loved the fields, the woods, and the streams. Nowhere was he more at home than in the fisherman's lodge or the hunter's camp. His skill was equal to every demand of woodcraft. In the forests of Maine or beyond the St. Lawrence in Canada, among the mountains of Vermont or in the lake region of New Hampshire, on Cape Cod or along the North Shore, he was at his best and knew how to make those about him happy. He never traveled far; his years in the West and a winter in Florida were the limit of his wandering. Few, however, knew the wilds and the waters of New England as he, and few ever enjoyed them more.

A striking feature of his character was his indifference to praise. He could do the hardest work, fill the most exacting position, bear the most disagreeable burdens, with no thought of appreciation or reward. It did not hurt him in the least to see others profiting by his effort. He was the soul of conscientiousness, not only in matters of religion but in every cause he espoused. His broadmindedness was no less remarkable. In view of his background his toleration for all the weaknesses and shortcomings of his fellows was more than exemplary. His was the clean life, free from vice and innocent of questionable aims. Masculine as he was, no woman could be more tender. His healing touch, his quick sympathy, his knowledge of human kind, gave him a welcome wherever he went. It might take time to know him, but once known he became a permanent possession, an abiding influence for life.

At Baldwin, Kansas, in 1896, he married Harriet T. Williams, who survives him. Two children died at birth; but an adopted daughter, Mrs. Florence Williams Whitehill Ladd of Winchester, Mass., remains. His only sister, the wife of Lewis A. Bigelow of Reading, Mass., died less than a month before her brother. Of his many cousins of different degrees, Nelson J. Whitehill of the class of 1883 will be remembered by the older generation of Dartmouth men.

REV. ELMER ELLSWORTH REYNOLDS died after a brief illness June 16, 1930. He was born in Dorset, Vt., August 10, 1861, and prepared for college at Montpelier Seminary.

Leaving Dartmouth in the winter of his sophomore year, he was appointed in 1887 pastor of the Methodist church at Ludlow, Vt., and during the next forty-three years saw active service in some twelve pastorates, the most of them in New England. Among his appointments were the churches at Ludlow, Vt., 1887-92; Williamstown, Vt., 1892-4; Swanton, Vt., 1894-5; Haverhill, Mass., 1895-8; Haverhill, N. H., 1898-1901; and Whitefield, N. H., *l9Ol-6. On being returned for the fifth time to this last pastorate, he was characterized by the Berlin Independent as one of the most brilliant preachers in northern New England, "a thorough scholar, a natural orator, and a preacher of great strength."

Then followed pastorates at Franklin, N. H., at Maiden, Mass., where he served the Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene, at Manchester, N. H., as pastor of the strong Trinity Methodist church, and at Methuen, Mass. In line now for leading churches of the New England Conference, he suddenly resigned and took up his permanent residence in Florida, a step made imperative, as he believed, by the condition of his daughter's health For a time it seemed that he had sacrificed what surely would have been a brilliant career in the North, since Florida seemed to have little to offer to a man of his powers. For four years he was virtually a missionary among the weak churches near Coconut Grove. And then had come his call to the strong First church of St. Petersburg. In a pastorate of eight years he was able to make this appointment one of the strongest Methodist churches in the whole South.

His success was sensational. For several years such crowds thronged in upon his church during the winter seasons that the entrances had to be barred with ropes at 9:30 on Sunday morning and a duplicate service held at eleven. A magnificent church with parish houses and parsonage occupying nearly a whole block came as part of his work. But it was his personality, his influence upon his parishioners and upon the town generally that counted most. In the resolutions read in the church at the time of his funeral were sentences like these: "He was the friend of everybody, rich and poor, high and low, saved and unsaved. St. Petersburg is a better city because he lived and served in it. His royal presence has been a benediction."

He leaves a widow, Ada B. Thompson, to whom he was married July 6, 1887, and three children: Winnifred, Mildred (Mrs. H. B. DeLue), and Harold Thompson

Burial was in the Royal Palm Cemetery. St. Petersburg.

EGBERT HORACE ALLIS, a member of the class during freshman year, died at his home in Randolph, Yt., October 6, 1930, of internal cancer, after a protracted illness.

He was born in Brookfield, Yt., August 23, 1868, the son of Andrew S. and Laura (Walbridge) Allis, and prepared for college at Randolph High School. 11l health compelled an early withdrawal from college, and, outdoor life being a necessity, he returned to the home farm in Brookfield. His father's sudden death put upon the son the management of the farm, and he remained there until his removal to the village of Randolph some twenty years ago. There he was for a time employed in a store, and then became assistant manager of the Yermont Maple Sugar Market, being associated with the late Victor I. Spear '74, whose death is reported elsewhere.

During his college career he was a member of the college orchestra, secretary and treasurer of the Athletic Association, member of the editorial board of The Dartmouth, member of the Press Association, and of Delta Kappa Epsilon. He was recognized as one of the substantial members of '93, and took special honors in English in his senior year.

Following graduation from Dartmouth, Theodore took special work in English at Harvard, from which he was graduated in '94. Still later he took a degree in education at the University of Chicago. His special field was English, and he edited several school classics for various publishers

Theodore loved teaching, and applied himself to his chosen profession with all the devotion and energy of which he was capable; alas, it seems, with too much devotion and too little vacation. He often expressed a desire to return to Dartmouth for a reunion with his classmates, but this privilege was always denied him. His farewell at Commencement proved to be his last one to his mates.

Theodore's first teaching was done at 01- ney, 111., where he was principal of the high school, and where he met and married Margaret Norris. Two years later he became head of the English department of the Bloomington, Ill., High School. In the fall of '98 he joined the faculty of the Hyde Park, Chicago, High School, where he remained for 32 years. Since 1926 he had been assistant principal.

He is survived by his wife and two sons, Richard Norris and Theodore Halbert, the latter a graduate of the University of Chicago. Joel A. Harley '95 is a brother.

Leaving Florida, he went to San Diego, Cal., where he was in the service of a marine contracting concern, his duties taking him up and down the coast from Los Angeles to Panama. For five years of the time he was located in Mexico City, where his firm had contracts with the Mexican government which brought him in very close contact with all the Mexican presidents from Diaz to Huerta inclusive. Seven years ago he returned to New England and took up a connection with the Berlin Construction Company which he maintained until his death. He was a member of the Thayer Society of Engineers.

June 18, 1902, Mr. Davis was married to Lockey, daughter of George W. and Mary Miskimen of Newcomerstown, Ohio, who survives him. They have had no children.

A classmate writes:—"Davis was very odd in some respects. He was not a good mixer, and dreaded publicity of any kind. He had been out of touch with the class ever since graduation, although he had seen a few of the men at wide intervals of time. His diffidence caused him to miss many of the splendid things of life, and he had very few close acquaintances. He was very fond of his wife, and she was very loyal to him, going with him into all the construction camps and other wild places where he went, and participated with him in all the hardships, even to going out and getting, food for him when he was sick in Mexico with the bullets flying overhead like bees at the time of the Madero revolution."

The burial was at Laconia, N. H.

Do you remember an incident in the final football game against West Virginia in 1916? It was almost the end of the last quarter; and Husky, who had been laid up for several weeks with a pulled tendon, was sent in to finish up the game alongside those other classmates with whom he had teamed for four seasons. Do you remember the tribute that burst spontaneously from the stands as Husky went out to take his position? Not the applause that roars out for a spectacular football hero; but something a great deal deeper, as though every man in Dartmouth who had ever known Husky Merrill welcomed this brief opportunity to express the admiration and respect that each one had for him.

The following tribute is taken from the Engineering News-Record: "Allen Hazen's unexpected passing is a heavy loss to American engineering. His memorable achievements in water filtration, in advance of hydrologic knowledge, and in other fields give him a lasting place in the annals of civil engineering. Beyond this he stood as one of the highest exemplars of the engineer, alike in his attitude toward his art, his clients, and his professional colleagues. None knew him but to admire him and see in him a model to emulate. In the strength of his years he gave promise of contributing still more to human knowledge in his chosen field."
