Class of 1864

CHARLES ALBERT BUNKER died at his home in Peacham, Vt., July 26, 1932, after a short illness.

He was born in Barnstead, N. H., July si, 1840, the son of Alfred and Mary Emerson (Hodgdon) Bunker, and prepared for college at Blanchard Academy, Pembroke, N. H. Following the custom of the time, he taught winters through his college course. He graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank.

After graduation he continued teaching, and made that his lifework. He taught at Corinth, Vt., in the fall of 1864, and the following winter at Penacook, N. H. In the spring of 1865 he became principal of the academy at Mclndoe Falls, Vt., and continued there until the fall of 1867, when he took charge of Caledonia County Grammar School at Peacham, later known as Peacham Academy. This position he held for 28 years, until his retirement in 1895. He remained at Peacham for the rest of his life, except for the year 1899-1900, when he was temporarily at the head of the State Normal School at Castleton. For many years he was superintendent of schools for his town. In 1886 and 1888 he was a member of the Senate of Vermont, and in 1896 of the House of Representatives. He was a member of the Congregational church and prominent in its activities, as he was in all community interests.

May 20, 1869, Mr. Bunker was married to Nellie Sarah, daughter of Dr. Jeremiah Blake (D.M.S. 1826) of Gilmanton Iron Works, N. H., who died January 20, 1911. They had no children. A sister, Miss Amanda M. Bunker of Pittsfield, N. H., is the nearest surviving relative.

Class of 1872

GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS died on his eightieth birthday July 10, 1932, at Chamberlin Nursing Home, Brookline, Mass., after a nine weeks' illness following an operation. His life included many dramatic elements. His father, born as George William Weinigmann, was a German boy in a little Prussian hamlet on the Elbe with a passion for the sea. An American, Captain E. D. Bangs of West Brewster, Mass., was a shipmaster who took cargoes consigned to a firm of which he was a member. Weinigmann came to Cape Cod and became one of Captain Bangs' household. There the German Weinigmann became known as George Williams, and later was naturalized under that name. At nineteen he was first mate on one of Captain Bangs' ships, acquired a share in one, married Henrietta Rice of Dedham, built a house and made his home in that shire town of Norfolk county, Mass. Into this family George Fred was born July 10, 1852. On November 3, 1861, Captain Williams, the father was in command of the ship Marinina, of which he was half owner; on her maiden voyage from Liverpool, entering Boston harbor in a wild storm the ship struck on Shag Rock just outside Boston Light and Bank; Captain Williams and three of his crew went down with her.

George Fred had all his preparation for college in the Dedham schools. Private schools and the high school of which Carlos Slafter, Dartmouth '49, was principal, made him fit to enter Dartmouth in 1868.

During freshman year not only did he carry his duties as a student but he also acquired the lifelong and useful friendship of Charles Ransom Miller, his classmate and roommate, who later became editorin-chief of the New York Times. He also acquired a nickname which he carried through life. To his intimates and classmates he was known as "Ted."

At the end of freshman year he went to Germany to visit his paternal relatives at Hamburg, where he passed the winter. In April, 1870, he matriculated at Heidelberg and attended lectures at the University during one semester. He then went to the University of Berlin and remained there another semester. He devoted himself to the study of law and philosophy. Meanwhile he observed certain phases of the Franco-Prussian methods, as a volunteer in the hospital corps. He was with the Prussians when they drove the French back from Metz. In September, 1871, he returned to Dartmouth, and having made up his two years' lapse in the curriculum, joined the class of '72 and became one of a coterie consisting of Fowler, Welch, and Trask, who roomed in Dartmouth Hall. He then seemed deeply inoculated with the Cartesian philosophy of Spinoza, and did not fail to exhibit it. He graduated with the class in 1872.

The winter after graduation he taught the district school in West Brewster, Mass., having previously registered as a student in the law office of Thomas L. Wakefield, Dartmouth '43, in Boston, and still later studied at the Law School of Boston University. He was admitted to the Suffolk bar in October, 1875. During his legal studies he was also a reporter on the Boston Globe, working on the night staff.

He formed a partnership with his Dartmouth classmate, Lewis G. Farmer, under the firm name of Farmer and Williams, which continued at 15 Pemberton Square for ten years. Thereafter he practiced alone until 1891, when he formed a partnership with George W. Anderson which continued until 1897. His office at 15 Pemberton Square became a part of the corridor of the Court House in Boston. His practice prospered. Meanwhile by diligence and ability in addition to his practice, he published "Williams' Massachusetts Citations" and edited Volumes X to XVII of U. S. Digest. But these were not sufficient to satisfy his desire for activity. Politics attracted him. In 1884, James G. Blaine was nominated by the Republican party for president of the United States, and then began the epoch in which George Fred was active in state and national afEairs. Previously he had been an orthodox Republican. With the nomination of Blaine, he became secretary of the Committee of One Hundred, who were called Mugwumps, and enlisted in the campaign and assisted in the election of Grover Cleveland. Thereafter he remained in the Democratic party, and was elected by its votes to the Massachusetts legislature from his native town of Dedham. He forged rapidly to the front, and forced a sensational investigation of the lobby which involved some of his own party. He helped elect William E. Russell governor, and joined with others in keeping him there for three successive terms. In 1886 Hon. Hugh O'Brien, mayor of Boston, invited him to deliver the annual oration for the city on the Fourth of July. His oration was a decided success. The practice of his profession was rapidly yielding to the attractions of politics. His triumphs on the stump were definite and became decisive.

In 1890 he was chosen as a representative to the 53d Congress, where he fell out of line with his party by voting for Roger Q. Mills for speaker because Charles F. Crisp favored a higher tariff than Mills; but Crisp was elected. In 1892 George Fred was defeated for reelection and resumed his law practice. In 1896 he was made one of four delegates-at-large to the National Convention. Rumors of leaning silverward seriously affected his influence in the Massachusetts delegation. Efforts were made to nominate him as vice-president on the Bryan ticket, but he received only 76 votes, and Arthur Sewell of Maine was nominated. He now became an advocate of 16 to 1 and a fast friend and political supporter of William J. Bryan. When the delegates returned from the national convention the Gold Democrats of Massachusetts determined to oppose Bryan and his bi-metallic views. George Fred was denounced but was not cast down. He was met with a brass band on his return to Boston, escorted to Faneuil Hall and there gave an account of his stewardship in Chicago. The sound money men proposed to repudiate the Chicago platform and nominate a candidate for Governor opposed to Bryan. On the eve of the state convention there was a mass meeting at old Music Hall to endorse the national ticket. Just as the meeting was about to adjourn, George Fred stepped to the footlights and announced that it was proposed to shut out the Bryan men from the state convention the next day in the same hall, and asked his followers to remain in the hall and hold it against their enemies. Volunteers were found and they carried on until morning with speeches and songs. When the officers of the state committee appeared in the morning to open the convention they found it full of Bryan men. Compromise was tried but failed. George Fred and his supporters held a convention there. The regulars held theirs in Faneuil Hall. Both conventions nominated the same state ticket: George Fred for governor, Christopher T. Callehan for lieutenant-governor. George Fred declined the Faneuil Hall nomination and Ex-Mayor Frederick O. Prince was nominated by the sound money men in his place. Bryan came to Boston; addressed a tremendous body on the Common, and spent the night with George Fred at his home in Dedham; but in the election his ticket was defeated and Bryan lost the state.

George Fred retained control of the party machinery. For sixteen years he continued to support Bryan. Under his banner George Fred was three times nominated for governor of Massachusetts, viz., in 1895, 1896, and 1897, and each time was defeated. In 1904 he made a fight for Hearst delegates to the national convention, was defeated, and a sound money delegation pledged to Richard Olney for president was sent to St. Louis. George Fred was dropped from the National Committee and Colonel Gaston put in his place.

In 1911 he crowned his professional work with an argument as counsel for the state of Oregon and several other states before the Supreme Court of the United States in defense of the Initiative and Referendum provisions of the Oregon Constitution. The Court sustained their constitutionality.

George Fred was born and always remained supremely loyal to the causes in which he earnestly believed. He bolted Cox for Harding in 1930 on the League of Nations issue. It was said of him in general that he was a natural crusader, a saviour of the oppressed, who saw in Bryan "a prophet of the people and a champion of their liberties." Similar continued to be his course to the end of his active life.

In 1912 he joined the forces of Champ Clark, while Bryan was on the other side battling in the national presidential convention, and later became one of the managers and campaigners for Clark as Democratic presidential candidate. Picking the loser ended his leading place in politics. He later took the stump in the West for Wilson. However in spite of all his criticisms of Mr. Wilson during the campaign and of his support of Clark, Mr. Bryan was able to influence President Wilson to appoint George Fred as minister to Greece and Montenegro. That appointment was in October, 1913. His term was brief. He wrote a classmate later:

"From Athens in June, 1914, I visitedAlbania to investigate a massacre of Albanians by Greek soldiers and to report theconditions there. I was so disgusted withthe wrongs practiced by the Great Powersupon the Albanians that (in accordancewith my additional title of Envoy-Extraordinary) I made a public protest, which,of course, I followed up with my resignation as minister. * * * I have since actedas counsel for the Albanians in the UnitedStates and followed closely the developments in that country, which include heradmission by unanimous vote to theLeague of Nations."

However one may view his discretion in the premises, no one can doubt the sincerity and courage of his action. From other sources it became known that the Albanians believed he had saved their liberties. A delegation of their chiefs waited on him to ask that he form and lead a government for them and become their king. But a government without funds had no attraction for him. Hence he declined the honor, but offered to return to the United States to seek financial aid for their country. The World War then began and made such efforts unwise; Albania had to await the results of the conflict. Before the Peace Conference at Versailles George Fred issued a stirring appeal to the United States to come to the assistance of the Shkypetars, as he called the people of Albania. He published it in Harper's Weekly, and circulated pamphlets of forty-three pages containing copies of it, but nothing came from his efforts. The end of the war saw Albania a republic, and in 1925 Ahmed Bey Zogu was elected president for seven years. In September, 1928, he restored the monarchy, was proclaimed king of the Albanians under the title of Scanderbeg III, and is generally known as Zogu I.

The Boston Globe has given the following vivid picture:

"George Fred was a man of striking appearance in his fighting days. He was ahandsome man, blue-eyed and blondhaired, a figure as straight as a bodyguardof the Kaiser William, with a gift of realoratory, unhampered by manuscript whendiscussing public questions. He was alawyer of ability and a student of economics. In all the years he was at the barthere was never a breath of scandal connected with his legal practice. Even hisenemies recognized his uprightness. He wasthe legal adviser of many large estates.Perhaps the finest tribute ever paid to himwas by his lifelong friend and classmate atDartmouth, Charles R. Miller, editor ofthe New York TIMES, when he made himexecutor of his $1,000,000 estate. Miller,the conservative, had complete confidencein Williams, the radical. The two couldfind little ground politically to agree on,yet when he died it was found that he hadconstituted Williams his agent to carry outhis wishes in the disposal and handling ofhis estate."

Until December, 1931, George Fred en joyed fine health for his years, but since then had been failing; his final illness which resulted in the operation was of nine weeks' duration.

He was courageous to the last. On June 16, 1932, he evidently knew the end was near when he signed a letter he dictated to his son in which he said, "I think I will just step aside, let time and eternity take their toll, and hope some day to happen on the rest of the class." This is a plain indication of his belief in a future life.

He married Mrs. Frances Ames Hopkins, June 14, 1913, and leaves her surviving together with her son Barrett, a graduate of Harvard, whom he adopted as his son Barrett Williams, named in his will.

In accord with his wishes simple funeral services were held at the Forest Hills Chapel, his body cremated, and his ashes deposited in the Old Village Cemetery in Dedham, Mass.

Class of 1874

The report has been received of the death of HOWARD STILES ELDRED, on March 3, 1932, presumably at his home in Milwaukee, Wis.

He was born in Milwaukee, November 22, 1851, the son of Anson Eldred, who was engaged in the lumber business on a large scale. His early education was obtained at the public schools of his native city and at Milwaukee Academy. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

After graduation he entered his father's lumber business, in which line he continued through his active life. For a time he was at Little Suamico, Wis., as secretary of the company. In 1878 he became a full member of the firm of Anson Eldred and Son. For some years his residence was by turns at Stiles, Fort Howard, and Green Bay, Wis., where the firm had business interests. In 1888 his permanent home was fixed in Milwaukee. Later the business became incorporated as the Anson Eldred Company. He became also interested in banking, and was an official of the Citizens National Bank of Green Bay.

October 5, 1881, Mr. Eldred was married to Clara Strong of Green Bay. They had a son and a daughter. The son, Anson Eldred, has not responded to requests for further information about his father's career.

The writer as a freshman held greatly in awe the members of the senior class. Among these the most picturesque figure seemed to be the man commonly known as "Captain Jack." That his subsequent career has been equally picturesque may be inferred from the following account.

CLINTON HENRY MOORE died at the Murray Hospital, Butte, Montana, June 27, 1932, after an illness of several months.

The son of Henry and Appia (Bowen) Moore, he was born in Piermont, N. H., August 17, 1847. His mother died in his early childhood, and not long after he lost, by accident, the sight of one eye. He had but just begun his preparatory studies when his father's ill health compelled him to leave them and assume the support of the family. Four years later, after his father's death, he was able to resume his studies, and entered Kimball Union Academy, where he graduated in 1870 and whence he came to Dartmouth. A Butte paper says that he "earned his way through school with a bucksaw," which is probably his own way of describing his self-support during college days. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and prominent in class and college matters.

The first year after graduation he was principal of the graded school at Lyndon, Vt. In June, 1875, failing health led him West, and for eighteen months he was on a ranch at Ruby Valley, Nev. He then taught in Nevada until August, 1877, and then went to Deer Lodge, Mont., to be principal of schools. While teaching there he became interested in the scheme to found the College of Montana at Deer Lodge, came East to procure apparatus and teachers, and opened the college as its president in September, 1878. After one year he left the college and went to Boise, Idaho, to become superintendent of schools. There in March, 1880, he was appointed census supervisor for Idaho. In 1881 he had a brief mining experience in the Wood River country, and in October of that year he engaged in the book and stationery business in Butte. In 1882 he was elected superintendent of schools for Silver Bow county, Mont., and in 1883 he moved his business to Anaconda, where he was made postmaster several weeks before the town site was definitely located and the construction of buildings begun. He selected the name of Anaconda for this new mining town. In 1886 he left Anaconda to become superintendent and part owner of the Pyrenees gold mine near Georgetown. He was there four years, and was a member of the territorial legislature in 1887. In 1890 he went to Mexico as manager of a silver mine. He did not remain there long, but returned to Butte and engaged in various mining enterprises. In 1900 he was appointed deputy collector of internal revenue for the district comprising Montana, Utah, and Idaho, with headquarters at Butte, and held this position until March 4, 1921, since which date he has been retired from active business.

Mr. Moore was always an enthusiastic Dartmouth man, and served as the representative of his section on the Alumni Council from 1915 to 1921. He was a member of the Montana Society of Engineers, the Society of Montana Pioneers, the Knights of Pythias, the Silver Bow Club, and the Episcopal church.

August 10, 1880, he was married in Helena, Mont., to Emma Jones Hutchins, a former schoolmate in New Hampshire, who survives him. They had no children.

He was present at the reunion of his class in 1929, and was then elected president of the class.

Class of 1876

After a long period of physical infirmity which in no sort affected his mental activity, his courage or his output of work, JUSTIN EDWARDS ABBOTT died at his home in Summit, N. J., June 19, 1932. His brother, Albert A. Abbott of the class of '71, was with him. He was born at Portsmouth, N. H., Dec. 25, 1853, the son of Rev. Amos and Anstice (Wilson) Abbott. His parents were missionaries at Bombay, and his birth occurred while they were on furlough. His father had gone to India in 1534 as one of the pioneer missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Thus, father and son, they spanned nearly a century of mission work in Bombay. Abbott lived in India from the time he was four till he was twelve, when he came to America and prepared for college at the high school in Nashua, N. H.

He was graduated from Union Theological Seminary in 1879, was for a year pastor of a church in Norwood, N. J., and was commissioned as a missionary of the American Board for the Bombay district in 1881. He remained in India till 1910. His work there was educational and editorial with frequent preaching services in the Marathi dialect, considerable time being given to a revision of the Marathi version of the Bible. On furloughs he pursued studies in Sanskrit, Hebrew, New Testament Greek, and Indian archeology. The degree of D.D. was bestowed by Dartmouth College in 1900.

Merrill in his Biographical Sketchesgives the following account of Abbott'slater life.

"Since 1911 Abbott has lived in Summit, N. J. His special interests are researchwork in connection with old Marathi literature and work in behalf of the lepersof the world. He has made several visitsto Europe and India in recent years in theperformance of these tasks. The greatlibraries of the world have yielded manyancient manuscripts relating to the poetsaints of Western India, and he has succeeded in interesting the ministers ofcolonies in several countries in measuresfor the benefit of victims of leprosy. Forthe latter task his experience as superintendent of two leper asylums in India admirably fitted him."

In 1924 he visited nine foreign countries in the interest of the mission for lepers, his trip extending from South America through Europe. One of his most important achievements, continued till near the time of his death, was translations and treatises of the "Poet Saints of Maharashtra," in twelve volumes. "This prodigious work is a notable contribution to the religious and linguistic knowledge concerning the religious leaders in one of the most important language areas of India. The work was practically completed."

Abbott married, January 2, 1902, Miss Camilla Clark of Brooklyn, N. Y. She died in India, June 26, 1921. They had 110 children. He was a member of the American Oriental Society and the Explorers Club. His loyalty to class and college was genuine, and with sufficient means he gave liberally and regularly to many charities.

JAMES BURTON died suddenly at Fort Scott, Kansas (his home for more than thirty-five years), March 16, 1932. Merrill's account of him gives the following.

"James Burton was born 15 Sept., 1553,in Brocton, N. Y., the son of Linus andFidelia (Lewis) Burton. He prepared forcollege at the academy in Fredonia, N. Y.,and entered the Chandler Scientific Department, but remained only one term.

"He engaged in surveying in Chautauqua County, N. Y., but removed to Kansasin 1879. For four years he was a teacherand county surveyor in Jewell county,Kans., and then was similarly employed inCloud county, serving also at Jamestown aspostmaster, and for seven years as editorof the KANSAN newspaper. He found timeto study law, and was admitted to the barin 1890.

"Since 1896 he has lived in Fort Scott,Bourbon county. For fifteen years he wascity engineer and superintendent of waterworks, and for two years professor ofmathematics and commercial law in Kansas Normal College. He filially opened anabstract office, devoting his attention toland titles and surveying. His recreationsare chess, the care of flowers and bees, andthe collection of butterflies—a very wholesome combination of indoor and outdooractivities."

Burton's first marriage was with MaryL. Bryant of Sheridan, N. Y., and a secondwith Miss Enith lon of Jamestown, Kans.Beside his wife six children survive:—Louise, a teacher at Pleasanton, Kans.,Chester L., of Kansas City, Mo., Donald J.,Curley, Mo., Charles R., Belle Plaine,Kans., M. C., Topeka, Kans., and JamesJr., Kansas City. The late Mrs. Fletcher O.Lovan was a daughter.

The Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor describes Burton as "a man of brilliantmind and a virile editorial writer, andalso a cartoonist of outstanding ability.He became an authority on butterflies, andhis lectures on scientific subjects werehighly instructive." He was a delightfulcorrespondent. It had been his purpose toset down at length some of the results ofhis research, but failing strength prevented.

Class of 1878

CHARLES ARTHUR TUCKER died at his home in Springfield, Mass., June 7, 1932. He had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 1923 which necessitated his retirement from remunerative pursuits, but he had recovered sufficiently to enjoy the quiet activity of home and community life. Although unable to be present at the semicentennial reunion of the class, he found some compensation in attending the following autumn the dinner of the Western Massachusetts Association: of Dartmouth Alumni at Springfield and receiving greetings as the oldest alumnus present. During the past few months he had gradually failed, and the end was not unexpected.

Mr. Tucker was born at West Hartford, Vt., March 31, 1855, son of Samuel B. and Amanda M. (Hazen) Tucker. The family moved to Elizabeth, N. J., when he was about twelve. He prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy. At graduation from that institution he composed the music for the class ode.

He entered college with the class of 1877, but became identified with '78 at the beginning of sophomore year. His chief extra-curricular interest was music. He roomed in Dartmouth Hall with two musically-minded classmates, and their room was a kind of musical headquarters. He paid his tuition throughout by playing the organ in church and chapel, and as a member of the Glee Club and 'cello player in the orchestra he toured New England with the Dartmouth Musical Clubs. He was a member of the Handel Society, of The Christian Fraternity, and of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

He was affectionately known as "Dan," and treasured that cognomen to the last.

At graduation he indicated the ministry as his intended occupation, but after trying his hand at teaching, decided to adopt that profession. His own account of the next fifteen years is as follows:

"Soon after graduation I accepted the position of cashier "in a grocery store in Elizabeth, N. J., to bridge over the time until something better should more definitely settle my purpose. Near the close of the following December, I took the position of first assistant in the high school of Manchester, Delaware Co., lowa. Having an unfaltering trust in the capacities of a college graduate, I was brought to a position where, without any experience in discipline, I soon found myself insufficiently equipped to take in hand over one hundred pupils from sixteen to twenty-six years of age. Are you surprised to find me in another place at the beginning of the next school year? That place was Lansing, lowa, where, with my eyeteeth cut, I succeeded in filling a position similar to the one in Manchester. Before the close of my school year here (1880) I was appointed to the chair of Latin in Lenox Collegiate Institute, Hopkinton, lowa, which institution prepared for the junior class in Eastern colleges. There being more honor than money in this position, I turned elsewhere, after finishing a year of what I am told was successful work. During the following vacation, which I spent at my home, Elizabeth, N. J., I accepted the principalship of the Center School, Norwalk, Conn., which position I now hold.

"I am a member of the Masonic fraternity, but the only position I have occupied id this society is the organ bench. I am a Gongregationalist in religion, and a Republican in politics, though I place independence before party."

He continued in Norwalk for twenty-five years. He was a member of the Norwalk Club, deacon of the Congregational church, organist and director of the choir of the Baptist church. He took great interest in the welfare of his pupils, and several men now in prominent positions owe their start to his influence.

Following this long term at Norwalk he served as superintendent of schools successively at Stockbridge, Mass., Unionville, Conn., and Lenox, Mass., and as principal of the high school at Windsor, Mass., after which he accepted a position as librarian of the American Bosch Magneto Co. at Springfield, Mass., where he has resided for the past ten years, but his tenure of the librarianship was brief, being terminated in 1923 by his sudden illness.

Mr. Tucker was married in 1883 to Miss Mary C. Quintard of Norwalk, who died in 1897 without children. In 1899 he married Miss Georgia A. Barnum, who has accompanied him to reunions and was one of the two ladies photographed with the class at its 45th in 1923, when he was present for the last time. They have two daughters, both musical. The elder, Grace, married Mr. L. W. Gilliatt, a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Alice married Mr. John L. Seyler, a graduate of Amherst. Both reside in Springfield.

Mr. Tucker was always loyal to Dartmouth. Having no sons to send, he steered two nephews thither (William B. Gumbart '13 and Edward H. Gumbart '16), and he gave them their Phi Beta Kappa keys. He is survived by Mrs. Tucker, their two daughters, and three granddaughters. Mr. and Mrs. Gray and Parkinson were present at the funeral to represent his college class.

Class of 1880

CHARLES HALE COGSWELL died in New Jersey, July 7, 1932, and was buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Boston, Mass.

His active life after graduation in 1880 was spent in the study and practice of medicine. His family for four generations had been prominently represented in the profession.

Charles studied at Harvard, and began practice in 1883 as assistant port physician at Boston Harbor. In 1887 he was promoted to port physician. At that time his father, Dr. George Badger Cogswell (Dartmouth 1855 two years. D. M. S. 1857), was resident physician at the Massachusetts State Hospital.

In 1894 Cogswell became superintendent of public institutions at Long Island, Boston Harbor. After completing his public career at Long Island, he engaged in the practice of his profession in Boston till about 1907, when he retired from active work and with his wife lived in quiet retirement in New Jersey until his decease.

His ancestors were English, and came to this country about 1635 and settled near Haverhill, Mass. Among them was a greatgrandfather who was one of 19 children and one of eight to serve in the war of the Revolution and as a surgeon.

He was born at South Bridgewater, Mass., March 23, 1859, and came to college from North Easton, Mass., having secured his secondary education in the public schools of that town.

April 18, 1889, he married Margaret A. Ward of Boston, who survives him. They had no children. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Charles W. Welch of Stoughton, Mass.

JOHN HORTON KING died at his home in Malone, N. Y., July 27, 1932. His health had been considerably impaired for two years. He had retired from active business in 1920, and had since devoted himself to the care of his property and investments.

He was born in Malone, January 13, 1857, and always lived in that town. On graduation from college, he was inclined to pursue a commercial career. His father and grandfather were leading merchants in Malone and had been proprietors of the same store since 1827. But his father was president of a bank in Malone at that time, and thought, as John says in Chronicles Fifty Years Later, that "it would be fine to make a banker of me." But the dignified and prosaic calling of banking did not appeal to him and his relations to the bank after a short interval "were confined to the customer's side of the counter." He assures us, however, that "no charge of dividing with the bank was ever brought against me." He then entered his father's store, which had been in the family for more than forty years.

In 1900 John acquired the business, and conducted it successfully till 1920, when he sold the business and the block in which it had been located and retired. After he retired from business he regularly spent the winters in Florida or in winter travel elsewhere.

King was married December 23, 1880, to Mary Lawrence. They immediately located in the home which they were occupying at the time of his decease and where they celebrated their golden wedding in 1930.

They have one daughter, Mrs. Robert Wellwood, Great Neck, L. I.

John was much interested in hunting and fishing and knew well the forest trails in his section of the Adirondacks.

He was interested and active in the civic development of his native city; was a Mason, a member of the Congregational church and for several years an official of that body.

It may be recorded that he was a successful and honorable business man, a popular and influential citizen of his native city where he lived and played and worked his entire life.

Class of 1882

DR. FRANK BENEVILLE PIERCE, after a month's severe illness, involving a major operation in surgery, died at the Benson Hospital in Haverhill, Mass., at one o'clock on the morning of September 1, 1932.

Dr. Pierce was born in Haverhill, August 28, 1858, the son of Darius and Emma Orinda (Hilton) Pierce, and establishing himself there as a general practitioner in 1889 had served his home town through the forty-three years since till his death.

After graduating from Dartmouth and in 1886 from the Medical School of New York University, he held interneships in Bellevue Hospital, New York, and the City Hospital, Elizabeth, N. J„ had a brief experience as a teacher in Amherst, N. H., and Charleston, S. C., and then began his professional career with two years of practice at Holyoke, Mass.

His long, active, and many-sided life in Haverhill constitutes his outstanding monument. For he entered with heartiness into the varied life of the city; was a member of the school board and of the park commission; a deacon of the Center Congregational church for 25 years; a director of the Isles of Shoals Conference for several summers; a member and officer of medical societies, of a half-dozen fraternal orders and lodges, and of numerous social and literary clubs. It is evidence of his friendliness and popularity that he was thus wanted in every group of outreaching and serviceable life. His passing brings deep sorrow to Haverhill.

There was no more loyal member of '82 than "Perkie"; always doing his part; always on hand for reunions and celebrations. He wrote the Secretary concerning the reunion in June:—'"We enjoyed itfully; old faces and old times; not quitethe sobbing time of an earlier get-together,but a genuine brotherly feeling thatshowed the old spirit was not dead."

Dr. Pierce is survived by his widow (Kate Ingalls Sleeper of Methuen, Mass., whom he married November 20, 1889), a son, James Beck Pierce, a married daughter, Hortense Katherine Sargent, and a sister, Mrs. Nellie Gabeler.

The funeral service, held on Saturday, the 3d, at the Center Congregational church, of which the Doctor had been long a leading member, brought together a company so large, representative, and expressive of its esteem as by its very presence to add enforcement to the words of the service.

NELSON JAMES WHITEHILL died August 2, 1932, at his summer home at Greensboro, Vt. He had been in declining health for several years, suffering from heart trouble and other ailments, and had failed rapidly through the summer.

He was born in Groton, Vt., September 9, 1858, the son of David and Mary (Orr) Whitehill, both parents being descendants of the early Scotch settlers of Caledonia county. His father died early, and he obtained his early education under difficulties, teaching his first school at the age of seventeen. He fitted for college under Charles A. Bunker '64, whose death is noted in this number of the MAGAZINE, at Peacham Academy, where he was also an assistant teacher.

His entire active life was passed as an educator in his native state. After graduation he went to Island Pond to take charge of its schools, but after three months was offered the principalship of the high and graded schools at Randolph, and accepted it, holding this position until 1897. He was then principal of the high school at Montpelier until 1900. After a European trip in the summer of that year he became principal of the Hartford High School at White River Junction, and after fifteen years he resigned to take the superintendency of the schools of that town, whch he held for six years. He retired from active school work in 1921, but agreed to serve in temporary appointments as superintendent if needed. He did so serve two districts,—at Brandon in 1922 and at Newbury, Groton, and Ryegate in 1924, for about six months each. In 1922 he removed to Randolph, and spent his winters there, passing the summer at his cottage at Caspian Lake, Greensboro.

August 20, 1884, he married Ellen L. Strobridge of Peacham, who died February 3, 1929. They had no children.

The funeral service was held at the church in Greensboro, and the burial was at Peacham.

Class of 1884

DR. EDWIN MONROE PARKER died by his own hand on June 28, 1932, at his home at Reed's Ferry, N. H. He had long been retired from his professional work. For more than twenty years he was a practicing physician in South Yarmouth, Mass., where he attained more than local note. He was president of the Barnstable County District Medical Society and later served as supervising censor of that society. For many years during this time he cared most devotedly for an invalid sister and then a brother. When release came from this he was so worn out and afflicted with rheumatism that he was compelled to give up professional work and return to his old home at Reed's Ferry, where he has since lived. His health did not improve, and for several years now heart involvement added to his ills. From letters he has written to the Secretary it is gleaned that he suffered acutely and realized that he would never be any better. It was with great difficulty that he got about his home, and he consciously bided his time till the end. While deploring his act, we are conscious of the extenuating circumstances and think of him only with greatest sympathy. He was 'B4's "Man in the Shade." He had never been able to return to any of our reunions because of the burdens he carried, and when these fell from his shoulders he was himself so crippled that he could not make the journey to Hanover, greatly as he wished to do so. We remember him as we knew him and have only sorrow in his passing.

Parker was born at Reed's Ferry on April 15, iB6O, the son of Thomas and Margaret (Nesmith). He attended the public schools of Merrimack, N. H., and graduated from the local academy as salutatorian of his class. He entered Dartmouth with the class of '84 in 1880. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. He entered the University of Vermont Medical School in the fall of 1884, where he remained for two years. For three years he was in business in Merrimack, N. H., then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Boston, graduating in 1892. He took up the work of his profession in South Yarmouth, where he remained for twenty years, till ill health compelled his retirement. From 1886 to 1889 he was a member of the school board of Merrimack, and held the office of town clerk for the same period.

Parker was a retiring sort of man during his college course. He was a loyal class man and won a warm place in the affections of his mates. Owing to the unusually exacting and arduous burdens he bore through practically all his professional career, the members of his class have had no opportunity to know more than the short reports he sent to the Secretary of his life and work. In these he never mentioned his handicaps, and from others we learned of his life of sacrifice and suffering. It is only in the last two years he has said anything of his sufferings and misfortunes. He was a loyal '84 man and he loved Dartmouth. Quoting from his last letters to the Secretary these are enlightening: "In my will it is statedthat a residue of my estate should be givento Tucker Fund and credited to the 1884class. * * * Often I've spent hours in anticipation of a day when there would be nocares to prevent, and now I find myself incapacitated and unable to make the tripto Hanover. * * * It grieves me after allthese years, anticipating a day when thefates would all me the privilege of againvisiting 'OLD DARTMOUTH' and clasp thehands of my very dear old college mateswho have always been in mind. I wish itwere permitted me to embrace all my classmates; you do it for me. My wish is thatGod may spare them yet a long time andbless them richly."

Dr. Parker was married Oct. 30, 1902, to Mary Maude Allen of South Yarmouth, who survives him. They had no children.

GEORGE ABBOTT SALTMARSH died after a brief illness on July 28, 1932, at his home in Winchester, Mass. Funeral services were held on the afternoon of July 30 with burial in Wildwood Cemetery.

Saltmarsh was born at Bow, N. H., October 18, 1858, the son of Gilman and Harriet Emdine (Robertson) Saltmarsh. He was a descendant of Captain Thomas Saltmarsh of the British Navy, who settled in Charlestown in the early part of the 18th century. He attended public schools of Bow and Concord, and graduated from Tilton Seminary in 1879. He entered Dartmouth in 1881 with the class of '84 at beginning of sophomore year. Soon after graduation he entered Boston University Law School, graduating in 1887. During his last year in law school he was librarian of the Boston Bar Association, which position he held till 1889. He began the practice of law in Boston and for all these years has had offices at 18 Tremont St. For ten years he was associated with the late Sherman Whipple, one of the most eminent of Boston lawyers. For some years his home was in Everett, Mass., but in 1900 he removed to Winchester, which has since been his home.

In college he was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. He was a member of the Masonic order, belonging to the Palestine Lodge in Everett, the Royal Arch Chapter Knights Templar, and the Massachusetts Consistory. He was a thirty-second degree member of the order. He was a member of the Congregational church of Winchester.

During the World War his three sons were in the service, and Saltmarsh served on the Selective Draft Board in Arlington, Winchester, and Boston. He was also a member of the Boston Legal Advisory Board.

On June 5, 1890, Saltmarsh was married to Nellie Gertrude Soulee. Three sons and one daughter survive him. His son Sherman Whipple graduated in 1914, George A. Jr. left college at end of junior year to join the U. S. Navy, and Roger W. spent freshman year in Dartmouth. Mrs. Saltmarsh died after more than a year's illness on May 4, 1932, less than three months before her husband.

Saltmarsh was a quiet, retiring sort of man, but behind this rather shy exterior he had a keen sense of humor, which made its appearance on occasion and contributed much to the esteem in which he was held by his classmates. With his wife he attended most of our later reunions and they made for themselves a large place in our affections. There was about them a wholesouled genuineness and class and college loyalty that won for them a hearty welcome from all. They showed their own enjoyment and so contributed much to that of the rest of the class. They were of the elect, and the class will hold them in loving memory.

Class of 1887

GEORGE WRIGHT SHAW was born at Bradford, Vt., June 13, 1864, son of John Everett and Orinda Ann (George) Shaw, and was tenth generation in descent from Abraham Shawe of Northouram, Yorkshire, England, who settled at Watertown, Mass., about 1630.

Shaw's early life was passed with his grandparents at Bradford. On graduating from Bradford Academy he entered college in 1883, and graduated with the degree of A.B. in 1887, delivering the Class Day address at the Old Pine. Later came the degree of A.M. in course, and in 1895 the degree of Ph.D. from Willamette University.

During his college days he roomed at his mother's (then Mrs. Hawkins), who conducted a millinery business in town, and had as roommate C. H. Dutton, and the last two years Robie 'B9. He was a charter member of the New Hampshire Alpha of Phi Delta Theta, and, being musically inclined, helped to organize and managed the first Dartmouth College Band, playing first cornet. During his preparatory school days he came under the instruction of a good teacher of dramatics, and also acquired some knowledge of the printer's trade in the office of the local paper. These were put to good use in paying the expenses of the years at Hanover. A term of winter school on the Cape, where so many Dartmouth men of earlier days left at least a fleeting impression, provided some cash, and also experience for his work in later years.

On August 17, 1887, he married at Woodsville, N. H., Emily May Merritt, daughter of Selah O. and Mary (Romeyn) Merritt of Tecumseh, Mich. She was educated at Framingham (Mass.) Normal School and Moody's school at Northfield, Mass. The same day the young couple went West, he to accept a position as professor of natural science at Whitman College, Walla Walla, Wash., serving the second year in charge of the department of elocution. From 1889 to 1891 he served in a similar position at Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon.

From 1891 to iBgg he was professor of chemistry and chief chemist at the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station at the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis. In connection with this position he published numerous bulletins and monographs on chemico-agricultural subjects, particularly on soils, sugar beets, and fruits, and became recognized as an expert in his line. He was also ex-officio state chemist in connection with pure food investigations. He also organized a Shakespearian club, which is still active.

In 1899 he resigned to accept a position of chief chemist with the Colorado Manufacturing Co. at Grand Junction, Colo. Two years later he returned to teaching in the University of California at Berkeley as assistant professor of agricultural chemistry, later becoming chief of the agronomy department, and serving until 1913.

Returning to private business, he became a consulting agricultural expert in San Francisco, and from 1917 to 1920 he was chief appraiser of the Eleventh Federal Land Bank District, which embraced four adjacent states. In 1920 his activities were transferred to Los Angeles, where he served as supervisor of farm loans and appraisals for the Los Angeles Trust and Savings Bank. This connection survived several mergers until 1931. In his work as appraiser here and in Berkeley $80,000,000 in proposed loans came to his desk for approval.

His fraternal affiliations consisted of membership in I. O. O. F., Woodmen of the World, Sons of the American Revolution, Founders and Patriots Society. In the first two names he was prominent officially. During the World War he served as vice-president of the Berkeley Defense Corps. Politically he was a Republican; in religion, a Congregationalist.

George Shaw led a full and active life, courageous, a persistent and indefatigable worker, a good friend, and a loyal classmate.

In apparent good health, he was planning one night to drive across the continent to unite with his classmates at their Fifty-fifth Reunion; the next morning cerebral hemorrhage ended his earthly career, May 24.

Professor Shaw left his wife and three children: Mrs. D. E. Harris (Emily Wright Shaw, the class baby), Berkeley, Calif.; Harry Romeyn Shaw, Alameda, Calif.; Mrs. J. W. Loughlin (Frances Lucile Shaw), Los Angeles, Calif.

Classmates Prof. F. P. Brackett of Pomona and Rev. W. P. Hardy of Los Angeles represented the class at the funeral service.

Class of 1889

CHARLES EATON DOANE died suddenly of heart disease, August 20, 1932, at Harwichport, Mass.

He was born at Harwichport, May 14, 1867, the son of Edwin R. and Anna M. (Eaton) Doane. He prepared for college at Harwich High School, and entered and graduated with our class. For a few months he taught school at Green's Landing, Maine. In March, 1890, he began work as surveyor with the Sanborn Map Company of New York. This company makes "fire insurance maps" for the entire United States. He was transferred to the Boston office in 1898, and for the past fifteen or sixteen years was manager of the New England department of the company, up to May of this year, when he retired. His home was in Newton Highlands. After retiring he leaded his house and moved back to hisold home on "the Cape."

At Provincetown, Mass., January 26, 1893, he married Hattie P. Allen, who died November 23, 1894. At Harwichport, December 28, 1899, he married Jenny L. Snow. There were no children, but Mrs. Doane's nephew, Walter Snow, lived with them as a son, from early childhood until his marriage in 1929. Snow came to our reunions in Hanover in 1919 and 1929. Mrs. Doane survives, and also his mother and one sister, Mrs. Nellie Dunning, of Watertown, Mass. His father died last year.

He was a member of Dalhousie Lodge of Newton and of other Masonic organizations.

Loyalty was one of Doane's outstanding characteristics. His friends recognized this, but there was a particularly warm spot in his heart for his Dartmouth friends. He could be counted on to take an active part in gatherings of classmates or other Dartmouth men. With one other man he had a record of having attended every class reunion since our graduation.

Class of 1893

HARRY DEFORREST HILLIARD, a member of the class of 1893 in its freshman and sophomore years, died at Haverhill, N. H., August 18, 1932. He was born in Canaan, Vt., January 31, 1871, the son of Captain Henry S. and Alma (Cooper) Hilliard, and prepared for college at Lancaster Academy. He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and played first violin in the chapter orchestra. He was a brilliant student, and the Secretary of the class remembers envying him his especial proficiency in mathematics. After leaving Dartmouth he read law and was admitted to the bar, but did not practice that profession continuously, being for some time engaged in farm management on a large scale. Among his addresses as listed in class reports were Westerlo, N.. Y., Dover, Del., and Laurel, Md. His last employment was as a railroad claim agent with office in the Union Station, Chicago. There he was stricken with cancer early in this year and came to the home of his sister, Miss Anna Hilliard, at Haverhill, to die. He was twice married, and besides a wife and young daughter leaves three sons by his first marriage and three sisters.

Class of 1894

CHARLES WILLIAM BERRY died at Somerville, Mass., Monday, May 16, 1932. With him we have lost one of our most active and enthusiastic classmates, who never tired of working to keep us interested and in touch with each other. Charlie for several years past was infirm in health, although he kept at work until within six weeks of his death. From time to time he took intervals to regain strength, but returned to his tasks with the buoyant courage and unfailing good cheer that was such a marked characteristic. A long standing trouble with the digestive tract culminated in cancer. When the malignant growth reached the vital organs, the end soon came. There was but little acute suffering until the last few days.

The funeral service took place at his home May 19. The class was represented by Adams, F. C. Allen, R. W. Bartlett, Griffin, Jones, Knowlton, Lyon, Marden, B. A. Smalley, and F. L. Smalley. Several members of other classes attended. He is survived by Mrs. Berry and a daughter.

A classmate has written the words of appreciation which are quoted. Secretary Merrill says:

"If I were to use the fingers of one handto name the men who have given the mostof time and thought to our round-ups andreunions and other class matters, CharlieBerry would certainly be included. He hada great deal to do with calling togetherfrom time to time the men in and aroundBoston until Matt Jones began his greatseries of annual round-ups. Charlie hadserved, I think, on every one of the reunion committees, and when he served ona committee he was no silent partner. Ido not know at how many reunions he hasbeen responsible for providing a part atleast of our regalia. In any characterizationof 'The Good Chin,' I think I would putfirst a capacity for friendship beyond mostmen. Self-effacement was another qualitywhich manifested itself, in his habit ofalways looking out for the other fellow,and seeing that everyone was having a goodtime. He had the rare faculty of being atonce a good mixer and at the same timepersonally non-assertive. So often I haveseen him operating as the mainspring ofwhatever was going on, but so quietly andunobstrusively that you had to know theman and the crowd to sense what was taking place."

A noteworthy thing about Charlie's professional life was that he ended his work in the same place where he started —Davis Square, Somerville.

A true friend, a loyal classmate, a lovable and happy companion, there is none to take his place, which cannot be filled.

Among the deaths in 1932 is that of HERBERT RUSSELL THURSTON, who came to college from the eastern section of New Hampshire. He entered the Chandler School, and was a senior when President Tucker executed his plan to amalgamate the Chandler School and the academic department. Being in one department during senior year, our class was more closely associated. He at once took his place as one of the solid and intrinsic men of Ninety-Four. His place in the esteem of his classmates remained unimpaired. Postgraduate fellowship was maintained throughout, although imperative conflicting engagements kept him from reunions and round-ups many times when he had looked forward to being with us. His death occurred May 20, 1932. The Somersworth, N. H., papers published the following sketch.

"Herbert Russell Thurston, who passedaway at his home in Maiden last Friday,was born in Lewiston, Maine, in 1869,but about fifty years ago his family cameto Somersworth, and the house at 27 Prospect St. has always been the family homesince that time.

"Mr. Thurston was graduated from theSomersworth High School in 1889, fromDartmouth College in the class of 1894,and from the Thayer School of Engineering the following year. For a time he wasin the employ of the Metropolitan WaterBoard, of Boston, and later was engaged inengineering work in New York City. Forabout twenty years he has been connectedwith the engineering department of theNew England Telephone and TelegraphCompany in Boston, and has made hishome in Maiden.

"In 1904 Mr. Thurston was married toMiss Elizabeth A. Randall of this city,who survives him, with their son, FrancisChandler Thurston, and his only sister,Mrs. Marion T. Shapleigh of Somersworth.

"The funeral service was held in theFurber Memorial Chapel in Forest Gladecemetery, this city, on Monday afternoon,with committal service at the Thurstonfamily lot, where the interment took place.Rev. Richard Kellogg, pastor of the Federated church, conducted these services.There were present a delegation of Mr.Thurston's business associates of the NewEngland Telephone and Telegraph Company, members of his college class, neighbors from Maiden, and from this, his hometown."

The month of June brought the third death in the class in 1932, in the passing of FRANK WILBERT HODGDON on Sunday the twelfth. The chronology of his life is not available to the writer, but some of the vocational features may be touched.

Of our quartet of clergymen, Frank was the first to leave us. Graduating eighty-six, apparently our class was one to be ministered unto, rather than to minister. He joined us sophomore year. He at once became conspicuous for general quality, although he did not stress scholarship in terms of mark-getting. The ministry was his goal, to which he unhesitatingly advanced on a straight line, which is the shortest distance between two points, as Tute Worthen informed us.

Graduating from Andover, his heart was in the pastorate. For seventeen years he labored in Michigan, New Jersey, lowa, and Massachusetts. But he was destined for another field in which his special gifts were brought into full play. He took up an administrative task for the Congregational churches, which Secretary Merrill pungently says was "vital to their life." For five years thereafter he spent his strength in the training of men for the ministry. In these years his work in the Pacific School of Religion was of far reaching value. In this field his work gave him supreme gratification. His years in it were the happiest and most satisfying of all. In 1930 the rugged constitution gave signs of breaking. A severe attack of bronchial pneumonia was the first inroad, from which he just escaped with his life. He struggled with undaunted bravery, inspired by the thought and belief that he would be able to take up work again. But myocarditis set in. There was no hope, although a month before his death he wrote Secretary Merrill a message of high courage.

Frank would have been sixty-four, had he lived one day longer. He leaves a widow, whose wise and patient care greatly prolonged his life. He had a son who graduated from Dartmouth in 1925 and died in Arizona in 1930. Two daughters survive him. The interment was in Center Ossipee, N. H. The class was represented by Secretary Merrill, W. H. Rollins, Ames, and F. L. Smalley.

In the class letter announcing his death Secretary Merrill says:

"I wonder how many of you knew whatan affectionate man Frank was. He wouldgo to the limit in loving ministry, and inthese later years when others ministered tohim his appreciation was thorough-going.It was a delight to him that during hisweeks at Weston, Matt Jones and. Ted Allen and B. Smalley came to see him. Hehad a warm side for Ninety-Four; its fellowship was full of meaning for him.There were four of us ministers in Ninety-Four. He was the first to go. The quartethas now been broken.

Class of 1897

ROBERT JOHNSTON SISK died in Brooklyn, N. Y., as the result of an accident on November 23, 1927. As his death has not been previously reported, an account of his life is given here.

Sisk was born in Dover, N. H., August 27, 1876, and prepared for college in Dover High School, to which he returned as a teacher upon his graduation.

In college, friendly, energetic, and not too serious, he won our esteem and affection from the first term. He was a Psi U and a Casque and Gauntlet. He was editor-in-chief of our Aegis, and in what was called feminine garb in 1895 he starred in "David Garrick" as Ada Ingot with artistic ability and charming grace.

Sisk's first high school principalship was in Milford, N. H. His second was in Auburn, Me. He also served for several years as superintendent of schools for several New Hampshire towns. After this he went to Newton, Mass., as supervising principal in the schools of Auburndale. Scholarly and masterful, he did notable work in these several and as he was a clear and forceful speaker he was much sought for as a lecturer before educational associations.

The last years of his life were spent in Philadelphia and New York. He represented for a time Ginn and Company, book publishers, for a time the Newsom Company, and for a considerable period devoted himself to private teaching and to educational interests.

Mrs. Sisk was Helen Perry of Dover, N. H. Sisk's son, Harland Perry Sisk, graduated from M. I. T. with a high scholastic record, and is now employed as an engineer in Pittsfield, Mass. Recently he was married to Helen Slater.

Class of 1898

HARRY LEROY FORD died at the Mary Fletcher Hospital, Burlington, Vt., July 13, 1932, after an operation.

He was born in Randolph, Vt., October 11, 1875, the son of Jacob W. and Ida E. (Phillips) Ford. He prepared for college at the local high school, and entered college with the class, but was obliged to leave before the close of freshman year because of ill health. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi.

After leaving college he spent three years in Nebraska in the interest of his health, and in 1899 returned to Vermont with health restored. For some years he was in insurance business in Barre, Vt., and in 1911 went to Burlington and entered the employ of E. E. Clarkson and Company. In 1923 he became executive secretary of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce, which position he held until his death. Of his success in that work the Burlington FreePress says: "He ivas splendidly equippedfor Chamber of Commerce work, possessing energy and initiative to an unusual degree, and, what is more important, theability to meet all sorts of people on equalfooting and convince them from the firsthandclasp of the sincerity of his purposeto serve them. He was exceedingly successful in his work because he was genuine."

Mr. Ford was an active member of the Baptist church and superintendent of its Sunday school. He was a member of many Masonic and other fraternal bodies, and was in 1928 president of the New England Association of Commercial Executives.

October 20, 1899, he was married to Mattie Hersey of Barre, who survives him, with their two daughters, Beatrice (Mrs. Moore) of Brattleboro, and Gladys Irene of Burlington, and a son, Raymond H. of Burlington. There are also two grandchildren.

Death again has stalked amidst '98 and this time took EMMA GOODALL. On July 22 she and Harry had gone to Wells, Me., Harry's old home, for the week-end. Emma had returned from a European trip but a few weeks previously and appeared to be in excellent health. While at dinner on the 23d, without any warning or previous indication she was stricken by coronary thrombosis and died within fifteen minutes.

Funeral services were held at their Boston home, I Raleigh St., on July 26. The class was represented at the funeral by Joe and Sue Bartlett, Eddie and Gertrude Batchelder, Bucky and Marie Chandler, Denis Crowley, Dave Macandrew, and Phil Patey.

She was buried in a hillside grave in the cemetery at Milford, Mass., with the bright sun shining down on the hillside covered with the mass of floral tributes from the great multitude of friends of Emma and Harry.

In Emma Goodall's death the class of '98 has lost a sincere and devoted friend, and Harry has the deepest sympathy of every member of the class. They were married on July 14, 1925, and she met with the class for the first time at the thirty-year reunion in 1928. Then, by her quiet, unassuming manner, her charming and winning personality, her true enthusiasm for everything Dartmouth, her open liking for all of '98, she won for herself a lasting place in the friendship of the class.

She was most intensely interested in the coming class reunion to be held next year and on numerous occasions had been discussing ideas and formulating plans with Harry with special reference to things of interest to the ladies for the reunion.

At the future meetings of the class and by all who knew her Emma Goodall will be ever missed.

Class of 1899

JOHN HENRY DUBOIS died suddenly in his home town of Randolph, Vt., on May 26, 1932.

While John did not remain in college to graduate with his class, his interest in its affairs was none the less keen, and he attended reunions and other class functions when opportunity offered; his contacts with college and class affairs have also been maintained through three other classmates who entered Dartmouth from the Randolph High School in the fall of 1895.

After leaving college John became associated with the American Brake Shoe Company of Chicago and New York, in a traveling capacity. In 1900 he returned to Randolph and assisted his father until 1904, when he took over the insurance business of Fred E. DuBois, upon the latter's death. Later he acquired the insurance agency of a fellow townsman. He has conducted this business since, representing leading fire, accident, and automobile insurance companies. His acumen and efficiency commended him to his principals, and long ago he became a director of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Montpelier.

His business life naturally developed local interests and qualifications which brought him prominently before his business associates, with the consequence that he was admitted to the directorate of the Randolph National Bank. He later became vice-president, and in January, 1930, president of this bank, to which position he devoted an endless measure of time and fidelity. For a number of years he was a trustee of Northfield Savings Bank. He served as executor and administrator of many estates, being sought for this duty because of his manifest fitness. He was scrupulously honest, careful, painstaking, accurate, and well-informed concerning people and things of his locality, and possessed a well-ordered mind that balanced facts before reaching judgment.

From the beginning John entered enthusiastically into the life of the community of which he was a lifelong citizen, without, however, seeking office. He served the village as trustee and was a director in the school district. He was most natural and happiest when participating in the everyday life of his town folk.

John Henry Dußois was eighth of the nine children of Hon. William H. and Anne E. (Gilbert) DuBois, and was born in Randolph, April 7, 1878.

In May, 1908, he married Florence I. Gisborne of Montpelier, Vt., who survives him. Three children were born,—Fred Earl, who is married and lives in Randolph; Margaret Rachel, a student at Lasell; and John Henry Jr., who is now a senior in Randolph High School. There is also a grandson, Richard Earl DuBois. Dartmouth men generally know his brother, Charles G. DuBois, class of '91, of Englewood, N. J.

The following tribute was paid John's memory by the minister who conducted the funeral service: "We meet today, as neighbors and dear ones and friends, for one who has loved and labored for his community; who for many years has been a definite part of its business life; who has emphasized integrity of action in all his dealings with men, and whose heart through the years has been imbued with the life-sharing principle. A devoted husband, a loving and thoughtful father, a friend in need and in deed. We honor him for what he has been. We shall remember him for what he has done."

DR. NEAL LUTHER HOSKINS, long prominent in the medical profession in Detroit, Mich., died at his home in that city on July 21, 1932, following a lingering illness of about nine months. A patient at Mayo's in the late fall of 1931, he undoubtedly realized as he returned to his home that his work was finished.

The class of '99 has had no member whose career compares in colorfulness with that of Neal Hoskins. We doubt if there is one who has continuously maintained such a variety of interests, and who was yet expert in all—vocation and avocations. We also doubt if the whole truth will ever be told of all that Neal has done to brighten the lives of others. Sufficient scattering bits of information gathered from various sources indicate that his life was filled with "service" in its highest sense, and with complete self-sacrifice.

The Detroit News, issue of July 22, 1932, carried the following editorial:

"Because the circus was his hobby, Dr.Neal Hoskins was made famous by newspaper men, for an interesting hobby makesgood reading. But Dr. Hoskins, the circusaside, was no ordinary man. He was notgiven to self-advertisement; therefore thefact that he was a great physician wasknown only to his professional brethrenand to his patients. Reporters did not emphasize it, because that was something henever told—doubtless would have denied,for his modesty was equal to his skill.

"The truth is, Neal Hoskins was a greatdiagnostician, and a doctor of the mind aswell as of the body. His practice of psychology was sometimes uncanny in its revelation of insight into obscure mentalfactors. He studied the whole individual,not merely his sympton of disease; andhaving come to his conclusions, he statedthem frankly, and won the patient's confidence. Surgeons accused him of hatingthe knife, and it is true that he avoidedoperation, if he believed a cure could beeffected without it. He was quiet, gentle,and unhurried, and knew nothing of a'professional manner.'

"His death is a severe loss to Detroit, aridto hundreds who relied on him it is nothing short of a calamity."

There is much material of a somewhat more personal nature which will be included in the next report to be issued by the class. All Dartmouth men of our time recall with keen enjoyment the "carnivals" and "shows" staged by Neal and his classmate Bob Johnston. Indeed we believe their "carnival" was the forerunner of that succession of mid-winter and spring social functions at Dartmouth College, which have subsequently developed to the undreamed joy of undergraduates, friends, and alumni alike.

Early in his medical career Neal married Miss Emily Struebe of Sandusky, Ohio, who survives him. A brother, Carl S., Dartmouth '94, also survives. Neal was buried at Lisbon, N. H., the town where his family have so long been prominent, particularly as the proprietors and hosts of the Sunset Hill House, Sugar Hill, N'. H., famous through many generations.

JAMES BURNIE HUTCHISON died at his home in East Cleveland, Ohio, on August 23, 1932. He suffered from a kidney ailment, to which he succumbed after an illness of about four months.

Jim Hutchison was born in Chicago, 111., on December 25, 1875. He attended Englewood High School and entered college in the class of 1900. Practically his entire business life was spent in Cleveland. His first position was that of district representative of the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory, Ltd. He then became superintendent of structural steel for the Austin Company, and for the past twelve years has been superintendent of maintenance for the Cleveland Board of Education.

Jim was married on October 18, 1905, and four children survive him—Mrs. Ralph Schafer of St. Paul, Minn., and three sons —George, James, and John.

Our recollections of Jim Hutchison are largely centered around his football career at Dartmouth. He was a real scrapper, and many will remember his tussles with Indian Macandrew. Jim played football regularly throughout his college career.

Jim enlisted as a private during the Spanish-American war and served six months at Chickamauga Park, fighting bugs and disease.

He was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and was on the class track team.

Living was a rough and tumble fight for Jim during its early stages, but underneath his belligerent personality was a very lovely side. In the early days in Cleveland he was most active in Dartmouth affairs, but in later' years obligations to business and family occupied most of his time. A very good friend recalls a luncheon of local alumni which Jim attended after many years' absence. He turned to his friend and said, "Well, I presume I am the oldest one here at this table, but I'll tell you one thing—l'll bet that I can lick any of them." That was the old battler of undergraduate days who had not changed after the many years in which he had battled with life, established a fine home, and raised a family of four.

Jim belonged to the old Dartmouth in his sympathies and in his associations. I imagine that the new College with its new buildings and its more varied forms of amusement would have seemed wholly out of place to Jim. We never shall forget his tall, athletic figure and his fighting spirit, which he carried until the end.

Class of 1902

The news that Charlie Gay had ceased his gallant fight came to his classmates more as shock than a surprise. It was known that for some time he had been under the shadow, but his friends had hoped that his trip to Florida would be of much benefit. For a time this appeared to be the case, but shortly after his return home he began to fail rapidly and the end came on July 10.

CHARLES WATERMAN GAY was born in Quincy, Ill., on December 5, 1878, the son of Captain William H. and Mary (Ellett) Gay. From the local schools he went to Dartmouth, receiving the B.S. degree in 1902. He then returned to Quincy, taking a position in the office of the Electric Wheel Company. From 1910 to 1915 he was associated with his classmate Bennett Riley in Com-Packt Furniture Company in Ann Arbor. In 1915 he returned to Quincy as foreign sales manager of the Electric Wheel Company. He became treasurer of the old Quincy Herald in 1920, and continued as such until the company was dissolved in 1926. In the reorganization he was made a member of the board of directors and office manager of the HeralcL-Whig.

He suffered a stroke of paralysis in February, 1930, and from this never fully recovered, although he was able to take some part in the work and kept up his interest in the affairs of his concern. The trip to Florida last winter undoubtedly prolonged his life, but could not be a permanent help.

He married on July 8, 1908, Miss Katherine Botsford of Quincy, a graduate of Vassar. She survives him, with two children, Caroline, Vassar 1935, and William E., a junior at Dartmouth. The education of these children was to Charlie a matter of first importance and it was so much on his mind that he said not so long ago to Mrs. Gay, "Well, anyway I've seen Caroline all through Vassar and Bill half way through Dartmouth."

Yet the story of Charlie Gay is by no means given in such a mere recital of events. The human part of the individual, the firm line of character, and all the attributes which are long remembered, these stand out in such peculiar way that almost we sense them only indirectly. No finer tribute to his character could be made than by the constant battle he fought for twelve years against a threat to his health, a conscious, purposeful struggle which history may say he lost, yet who knows perhaps he won.

What a light is cast on the life of the man by such quotations as these:

"It is a tradition among the employeesof the Herald-Whig that Charlie Gay,more than any other active executive, hadthe ability to maintain office disciplinewith rigidity without giving offense tothose affected by the regulations. His kindness as well as his firmness, and his finespirit were qualities that bound him closelyto all who worked with him and for him."

"The family life of Mr. Gay was especially pleasant. All of his interests, asidefrom his business, were centered in hisfamily and his home. His good cheer, hisjoyous appreciation of the welfare ofothers, his absolute honesty, and his clearbusiness insight made him a man respected, admired, loved."

And from the editorial column of the Herald-Whig the day after the funeral:

"Fortunate the man who has learned tolove his fellow-man sincerely. Life's pleasures and humors and happy experiences,great and small, are his. And, what ismore, they remain! No man had greatergenius for friends and none cultivatedmore genuinely the art of loving his fellow-man than Charles W. Gay."

Class of 1903

HAROLD ELNO SMITH passed away at his home, 2915 Coleridge Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, on July 30, 1932. He was born May 2, 1882, in Enfield, N. H., the son of Wilbur Fisk and Marie Antoinette (Sargent) Smith, and prepared for college at the high school of Lebanon, N. H.

He married, October 5, 1909, Annie Stratton of Washington, D. C., who died September 11, 1924, leaving two sons, Wilbur Frank, born February 14, 1912, and Carlos Duncan, born October 3, 1915. Later he married Dr. Hope Sherman, a graduate of Smith College, the University of Chicago, and Johns Hopkins Medical School.

After graduation in 1903 Harold became instructor in physics at Dartmouth, and continued as such for three years, receiving his A. M. degree in 1906. He then entered the Bureau of Standards in Washington, D. C., and in the same year changed to the Patent Office, which seemed to offer a greater opening for future work. There he remained for four years, or until 1910. During these years the momentum for study persisted, and he received his degree of LL.B. from the National University at Washington in 1908, his LL.M. from the same source in 1909, and his M.P.L. (Master of Patent Law) in 1910. After securing the last degree he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and there formed the partnership of Hall and Smith, for the practice of patent law, which continued for some twenty years. August 1, 1931, the partnership was dissolved, and Harold began the independent and individual practice of patent law. His interests outside his profession were travel, music, and literature, especially biography.

In January of this year the first symptoms of the disease which was to conquer his indomitable spirit showed themselves. In May he developed definite and alarming symptoms, but not until June was a diagnosis of inoperable oesophagal carcinoma made. In June and July, though confined to his bed, his condition seemed in many respects to have improved, but in the afternoon of July 30 pulmonary oedema intervened, and he lived only two hours.

Mrs. Smith has kindly written of his passing, and I will quote a few lines to show how courageously the spirit which was Harold's through life remained with him to the end. "He had no fear of death,but professed himself not only entirelyready to go, but even excited and curiousto find whether the great adventure wouldmeasure up to his imaginings."

How similar to the words of Charles Frohman, who went down with the Lusitania in 1915. "Why fear death? It is themost beautiful adventure in life."

Class of 1906

NATHAN CARROLL REDLON died at his home, 9 Capisic St., Portland, Me., on the afternoon of May 21, 1932. He had been stricken with a heart attack about three weeks before, from which he seemed to be rallying until a few days before his death. Funeral services were held from his home on May 23.

Nate was born in Portland, March 29, 1883, the son of Franklin R. and Jennie E. (Hennigar) Redlon, and prepared for college at the Deering High School in his native city. In college he was one of the best known and best liked men in the class. His constant good nature, his friendliness for everyone, and above all, his ability to give an air of gaiety and jollity to every gathering he entered accounted for his great popularity. He served the class as its president in his sophomore and junior years, he was a member of the Aegis board and of the band, and accompanist for the Glee Club, and he won much , fame as a vaudeville artist in the days of the Dartmouth Vaudeville Company. At our reunions and class dinners, he was always chosen, with Paul Felt, to lead us in reviving the songs of undergraduate days. He belonged to the Theta Delta Chi fraternity and the Dragon senior society.

He spent the first three years after his graduation in the employ of a telephone company in Pittsburgh, Pa., but in 1909 he returned to Portland to become associated with his father in the N. E. Redlon Company, general contractors. At the time of his death he was treasurer and general manager of the company.

In 1911 he was elected a member of the Common Council of the city of Portland. From 1917 to 1919 he served as captain in the Maine Infantry, National Guard, and at the time of his death was a captain in the Quartermaster Reserve Corps. He was a member of the Portland Club. He was also a past president of the Maine Chapter, Associated General Contractors of America.

For many years Masonic affairs had been one of Nate's major interests. At his death he was the eminent commander of St. Albans Commandery, Knights Templar, and he had been a master of Deering Lodge, a high priest of Mt. Sinai Chapter, and illustrious master of Portland Council, R. and S.M. During his last illness he was elected deputy grand master of the Grand Council of Maine, R. and S.M., in recognition of his services in that branch of Masonry. In addition to these various offices in the York Rite, he was an active member of the Scottish Rite bodies, and had received the 32d degree.

On November 9, 1911, he was married to Miss Blanche W. Goding of Portland, who survives him, with their two sons, Franklin G. and Nathan C. Redlon Jr., also his father, Franklin R. Redlon of Portland, and one sister, Mrs. Russell K. Knox of East Orange, N. J.

One of his classmates who knew him best writes of him thus: "Nate was one ofthose all too infrequent characters whomake life more cheerful for everybody sofortunate as to come within their circle. Hewas an aggressive optimist and incurablygregarious. Open of motive and honest ofintent in everything he did, he hated hypocrisy and deceit and never tried to dissemble his dislike of those guilty of either.He attempted to hide a kind and generousheart behind a bluster which deceivednobody; his friendship, once won, was loyaland everlasting. His breezy cheerfulnessmeant more to his associates than he everknew or they ever realized until now thisworld is a duller and less genial place because of his leaving it."

ERNEST ALVIN THOMPSON died very suddenly in Boston on the morning of June 16, 1938. He was born in Cambridge, Mass., November 6, 1881, the son of William V. and Charlotte I. (Pickard) Thompson, and prepared for college at the Cambridge English High School.

At Dartmouth "Tommy" took the scientific course. He was a quiet, wellmannered youth, and popular with all the members of his class. He belonged to the Orpheus Club, sang in the college choir, and in his senior year was president of the Tennis Association. He was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.

The summer after graduation he spent touring Europe in the company of "Windy" Winship, and upon his return in the autumn entered the Harvard Law School, from which he received the degree of LL.B. in 1909. He at once entered the law office of his father in the Kimball Building, Boston, where he remained for one year, but feeling that he ought to gain some outside experience, he spent the following two years in the office of Powers and Hall. In 1912 he returned to his father's office, to enter into partnership with him, and had continued there in the general practice of law ever since. After his father's death in 1931, he ran the business alone.

Upon his marriage at Boston on November 11, 1915. to Miss Florence Hind, he removed from Cambridge to Brookline, where he has since resided. They had no children, and Mrs. Thompson is his only survivor.

Tommy was always a loyal Dartmouth man, attending class reunions in Hanover and class dinners in Boston whenever possible. He seldom missed a big Dartmouth football game, and he was one of the original members of the Dartmouth Club of Boston, retaining his active membership until its closing upon the formation of the new University Club, to which he then transferred his allegiance.

He never slackened his interest in athletics. For many years he was a member of the Boston Athletic Association, where he regularly played squash; for more than five years he played on one of the club's teams in their interclub tournaments. He was also an enthusiastic golfer, belonging to the Charles River Country Club, and he kept up his tennis. In 1925 he toured Europe a second time.

In all his associations Tommy was much liked. We shall miss his quiet presence at our reunions and dinners, at his clubs, and in his business.

Class of 1909

ROBERT BYERS EATON died Monday, June 21, 1932, of heart failure, while waiting in the Superior Court Building in Springfield, Mass., to try a case. Bob had been suffering from heart trouble for some time, but his sudden death was unexpected.

Bob graduated from Boston University Law School and went to Springfield to practice law, where he represented several large insurance companies. He also practiced in Boston and New York, and for some time was superintendent of the New England claim department of the Citizens Casualty Company of New York. Bob was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Faith Congregational church, Paquotsette Lodge of Masons at Watertown, Scottish Rite bodies of Springfield, White Shrine of Jerusalem, Nazarene, No. 8, Springfield chapter, Eastern Star, and Phi Delta Phi, honorary legal fraternity.

Besides his widow, he leaves four sons, Robert, David, Edward, and James; his mother, Mrs. Isabella Eaton, and a brother, Comdr. William E. Eaton of the United States Navy.

Bob was regarded as a very capable trial lawyer, and was universally liked for his uniform good nature and fairness. Always interested in the other fellows of the class, he was one of our most reliable contributors, and a willing supporter of class activities.

It is always hard to lose one of the members of the class, to realize our numbers are gradually diminishing, inevitable as it is. But it is doubly hard when we lose one of our members whose interest has been high and who has helped so much in the constantly increasing friendship and class coherence that we have been experiencing all these years. I have no doubt that all of those who were present at the last reunion felt this increased spirit and friendly solidarity more than ever before. While there is a small minority that has not been able to attend class reunions or see many of their classmates, for one reason or another, yet a vast majority of the class have been able to do so, and have profited accordingly. Bob was of the heart of this group. The enjoyment he evidently received was merely a reflection of the enjoyment we all experienced in common, perhaps in proportion to the amount we contributed. Certainly Bob was one of our greatest contributors and we feel his loss proportionately.

Class of 1911

Word has just been received of the death of HARRY RYAN BYRNE in Columbus, Ohio, on October 18, 1931. Harry entered college with the class of 1911, coming from the Columbus, Ohio, High School. Harry was born there on September 9, 1888, the son of William J. Byrne, a merchant. He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. He was not known to a large number of the class, as he left at the end of the first semester of his freshman year and has not been active in class affairs since. The last record which the class has of him is that he was assistant district manager of the Pure Oil Company in New York City. He was married, and his widow is living at 400 East 58th St., New York.

DON POLLARD and his wife, France Ganguet Pollard, were killed in an automobile accident in Boston on May xi, 1932. Don and Mrs. Pollard were driving from Boston to their home in Newton Center when they met in head-on collision with another car traveling toward them at a high rate of speed on the wrong side of the road. The Pollards' car immediately burst into flames, and although both had been instantly killed they were badly burned before their bodies could be removed from the car.

FRED DON POLLARD was born in Proctorsville, Vt., January 13, 1872, the son of Fred Don Pollard. He attended the public schools, graduated from Black River Academy at Ludlow, Vt., in the class of 1906, and entered Dartmouth with the class of 1911 in the fall of 1907. Following his graduation from college he was connected with the Jones and Lamson Company of Springfield, Vt., and later with the General Electric Co. at Lynn, Mass. After a few years he entered the Northeastern University Law School, where his enrollment was interrupted by his enlistment in the United States Army in September, 1917. He was later transferred to the Aviation Corps and was commissioned a second lieutenant. Two days before he was discharged from the Army on December 19, 1918, he was married to France Ganguet, whom he met in France. He then resumed his law studies, and after graduation became affiliated with Dallinger and Stearns, attorneys, in Boston. He was later admitted to partnership in the firm, and following the death of Mr. Stearns, the name of the firm was changed to Dallinger, Pollard, and Richardson. He specialized in title work, where he had won for himself the name of being an outstanding man in this field in Boston.

Don was of a loyal Dartmouth family, having three brothers in the classes of 1914, 1919, and 1921. He was always a most loyal 1911er, and there were few occasions on which we could not count on having Don present and ready to do his part. His regular contributions to the Alumni Fund and to the Memorial Field Fund were only outward manifestations of his great loyalty to the College.

Class of 1914

Hurled from his horse into a deep gully in a suburb of Tepic, Mexico, GEORGE ELIHU BRIGGS JR. was killed when the animal rolled over on him, August 23, 1932. The body lay for a day before it was found. Mr. Briggs was buried in Compostella, where he had been staying. Mr. Briggs was taking his customary afternoon horseback ride, when his mount stumbled on the rough roadbed and plunged into the ravine.

Mr. Briggs was born in New Bedford, Mass., November 26, 1891, son of George E. and Louise (Donaghy) Briggs. His father, who died about eleven years ago. was prominent as a contractor and served as a member of the board of assessors. He was the organizer of the Whitman Mill Corporation, of which he was a director, and served as first president of the New Bedford Textile School.

The son was graduated in 1910 from the New Bedford High School, where he took a prominent part in school affairs, was one of the Bourne prize winners and was an officer in the High School Cadets. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, played in the Mandolin Club, was on his class debating team, and on Class Day delivered oration at the Old Pine.

In the fall of 1914, Mr. Briggs joined the party of pioneers, so called, which included Kermit Roosevelt, sent by the National City Bank of New York, to Buenos Aires, where a branch bank was established in furtherance of the trade extension movement in South America. He became commercial representative for the bank and remained in Argentina for several years. Subsequently he was transferred to New York to the exporting house of G. Amsinck and Company, a subsidiary of the American International Corporation, one of the interests of the National City Bank. He was sent to South America on business for the firm. At the time of the World War, Mr. Briggs was at an army training camp in the South, but the armistice was signed before he was sent overseas.

Subsequently, he entered the exporting business on his own account with an office at 100 Gold Street, New York city. A master of Spanish, he made extensive business trips in the Latin-American countries, and won friends everywhere. About two years ago his interests called him to California and Mexico, and he was staying temporarily in Compostella at the time of his death.

His relations with the National City Bank continued to the last, as he enjoyed the warm esteem of officials. He never married.

Class of 1915

EDWIN BENJAMIN THOMAS died May 11, 1932, at St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, following two abdominal operations. Funeral services were held in the Wellington Ave. Congregational church, where he was a member since childhood.

"Husky," as he was usually called in college, had a host of friends at Dartmouth, and he kept in touch with many of these after graduating by becoming actively interested in the alumni associations of various cities.

He was born July 26, 1893, at Mukwanago, Wis., the son of Wesley Munger and Delia (Hoyt) Thomas, and prepared for college at Lewis Institute, Chicago. He belonged to Phi Kappa Psi.

From June, 1915, he lived in Chicago with his family, being employed for eighteen months by the J. C. Whitney Co., tea importers and exporters, and then in the advertising department of the Tribune. When the United States entered the war he took training for the field artillery at the first R. O. T. C. at Fort Sheridan, and May 15, 1917, was commissioned as second lieutenant. He was assigned to the 333d F. A. at Camp Grant, and after a training period of eighteen months in this country and England his contingent finally landed in France one week before the Armistice. After being mustered out of the army in January, 1919, he went with the Lackawanna Steel Company. For over a year he went through their mills at Lackawanna, living in Buffalo at the time. He was sent to the Chicago sales office of the company, and later transferred to Bethlehem, Philadelphia, and New York when the Lackawanna merged with the Bethlehem Steel Company.

When attached to the New York office he traveled through New England. Here he met Louise M. Merritt (Smith 1918) of Danbury, Conn., whom he married in November, 1925. In April, 1928, they moved to Evanston, Ill., and he became sales manager of the community development department of Baird and Warner, Inc., real estate, of Chicago. With them he was connected until the time of his death.

Those who were fortunate in having the friendship of "Husky" Thomas sense a real loss in his passing. Even through years of separation that friendship held. His loyalty to Dartmouth was the same. He did considerable work with younger boys, telling them about the College. He did much to keep alive the old spirit of his friends in the class of '15 by letters—during those years when letter-writing has been a lost art to most of us—and by being in touch with the alumni of so many cities. That intangible Dartmouth spirit was very manifest in this loyal son, and the College as well as the class of 1915 will miss him.

H. H. BUDD '15.

Class of 1918

JONAS FERSON MCCUNE committed suicide by shooting in Columbus, Ohio, May 19, 1932. Financial troubles are thought to have been the cause of the act.

He was born in Columbus, May 1, 1894, the son of Jonas M. McCune, and prepared for college at St. Luke's School, Wayne, Pa. He was at Dartmouth only through freshman year, and was a member of Psi Upsilon.

When the United States entered the World War, McCune enlisted, and served in the Rainbow Division, being cited for bravery and rising to the rank of first lieutenant. After the war he was for a time in the brokerage business in Columbus, was then associated in the real estate business with Leigh Koebel, and finally operated a real estate agency on his own account. He was fond of golf and tennis, and was a member of the Columbus Country Club and of the Rocky Fork Hunt and Country Club.

His wife, Vivina Peavy McCune, survives him, with their daughter, Elaine; also his mother, two sisters, and a half-brother.

Class of 1919

EDMUND PERRY HOWE died at the Margaret Pillsbury Hospital, Concord, N. H., May 23, 1932, from a fractured skull received in a fall at his home two days before.

Class of 1921

LAURENCE JUDSON BOARD MAN died at Wakefield, Mass., May 20, 1932, as the result of a heart trouble from which he had suffered for several years.

Larry was born in Wakefield March 31, 1899, the son of Arthur H. and Nettie E. (Skinner) Boardman. He prepared for Dartmouth at Wakefield High School, and resided during most of his life in that town.

After graduation he became connected with the Cambridge Savings Bank of Cambridge, Mass., of which his father is treasurer, and at the time of his death was manager of the life insurance department of the bank.

During the World War Larry served in the United States Naval Reserve, and he was a member of the American Legion post of Wakefield. In addition he belonged to the Golden Rule Lodge, A. F. and A. M., and to the First Congregational church of Wakefield.

On June 18, 1927, Larry married Miss Louise Wight of Bolster's Mills, Me., and she, together with his parents and a sister, Miss Ruth W. Boardman, survives him.

By his passing both 1921 and Dartmouth lose a loyal member, whose quiet and steadfast allegiance to both class and college was a source of joy to all who love both and whose friendship was something to be highly treasured and cherished.

Class of 1928

WILLIAM JOHNSON SCOTT died at the Territorial Hospital, Kanehoe, T. H., December 17, 1931, from injuries received in a glider crash.

He was born in Pawhuska, Okla., February 13, 1905, the son of Eugene Francis and Roxie (James) Scott, attended the public schools of that city, and completed his college preparation at Culver Military Academy, Culver, Ind. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and was on the business board of the Dartmouth Pictorial.

In March, 1930, he was graduated in the attack section at Kelly Field, received his commission as second lieutenant in the Air Corps Reserve. He was assigned to the Hawaiian Department, and was a member of the first Attack Squad ever organized at Wheeler Field on the island of Oahu. In June, 1930, he received his commission in the regular line as second lieutenant. At the time of the fatal accident he had been detailed for experimental work with gliders, and had established the American record for distance.

Funeral services were held at Pawhuska, and he was given a military funeral with escort of army planes. His parents now reside in Pasadena, Calif.

EDWIN FOLLETT CARTER was killed near Brookings, S. D., in an automobile accident on July 5.

He was the son of Edwin Farnum and Mary (Bull) Carter of Darien, Conn., born August 4, 1909 in St. Louis, Mo. He prepared for college at Western Military Academy, Alton, Ill., and attended Western Reserve for one year.

The funeral was held in Darien, July 9, and was attended by Bob Hosmer, John Clark, and Rod Hatcher from the class of '32.

In college Bud was active in the Dartmouth Pictorial, The Arts, Cabin and Trail. He majored in economics, was director of the Carnival Ball and Commencement Ball. He was also manager of the gym team, a member of Phi Kappa Psi, and Casque and Gauntlet.

During summer vacations Bud was fond of roaming through the West and Central America either with a friend or two, or by himself. Those who have been in his room at college have seen the interesting curios and bits of Mexican and Indian lore which he brought back from these trips, and listened to the tales which are connected with them. In the undergraduate issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE last spring there was an article on Mexico written by him. He has also had some of his singularly beautiful photographs exhibited in the Library.

There are few men in the class who are respected as much as Bud was. He had the kind of quiet, gentlemanly disposition that men of all classes admire and revere. Whether it was toiling up a mountain side or working as a heeler on the athletic field, he radiated a kind of cheer that is hard to describe or imitate.

The class of '32 grieves at its tragic loss, and offers its sympathy to Bud's parents and family.

Honorary

The claim of Dartmouth to JEAN ADRIEN ANTOINE JULES JUSSERAND, French ambassador to the United States from 1902 to 1924, lies in his visit to Hanover at the Commencement of 1924 to receive the degree of Doctor of Laws.

M. Jusserand, who died at his home in Paris, July 18, 1932, was born in Lyons, February 18, 1855. He early entered the diplomatic service of his country, his first important assignment being as minister to Denmark in 1898, whence he was promoted to his position at Washington. During his long service in America he became the best known and most highly esteemed of all representatives of foreign governments with us, and was able to accomplish much of his ambition to unite his country and ours in bonds of firm friendship.
