In 1886 he was one of the organizers of the Hartford Woolen Company, and was actively engaged in manufacturing until 1922. Since that time his health had gradually failed, but he remained president of the corporation until his death.

Class of 1876
EDWARD CARRINGTOS! STIMSON died at his home in La Jolla, Calif., May 27, 1935. Early in April he had fallen and sustained a fracture of the hip. As late as May 7 he seemed to be making satisfactory progress toward recovery, but he suffered a heart attack and survived only a few hours there-after. He was born July 11, 1854, in Providence, R. I., the son of Charles William and Harriet (Junkins) Stimson. He prepared for college in the Portsmouth, N. H., High School. He distinguished himself in athletic contests in college, both as a runner and as an oarsman.
For six years after graduation he was a teacher, and in his leisure time read law. In 1883 he was admitted to the bar in Massachusetts and in Colorado, and settled in the latter state. He spent a few years in mining towns,—Aspen and Cripple Creek, —but after 1903 made Denver his home. The only interruption of his law practice was a term on the District Court bench of Colorado, 1898-1902. He was president of the Colorado Bar Association in 1915-16, and of the Denver Bar Association in 1917-18. In 1902 he was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Colorado.

"FRIENDLINESS AND LOYALTY"
A number of years ago Stimson established his home in La Jolla, but till recently continued his law practice in Denver. A letter written to the Secretary last December contains the following: "I havenot been away from this backwater sinceJuly, 1932, my job seemmg to be right here;so I have no report save that my health isgood, my life tranquil, my interest inworld happenings unimpaired, my spiritstill young. And isn't that all any reasonable old fellow can possibly ask?" There are two words which seem specially fitting as applied to Stimson; they are "friend- liness" and "loyalty."

Class of 1888
With a keen sense of loss to the class and to the College we are obliged to record the passing of LEE FAIRFIELD ENGLISH on June 1, 1935, at his home in Wilmette, Ill. The legal profession also has lost a member whose ethical standards were of the highest—as one classmate has said, the standard of the old school, which gave to the profession its former respected position in the community. The following account of his life is condensed from notices in the Littleton Courier and the Wilmette Life:
He was born in Lisbon, N. H., November 29, 1864, the youngest son of Lewisand Emily (Page) English.

After leaving college he took up the study of medicine, and obtained his medical degree from Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1891. After serving as house surgeon at an eye, ear, and throat hospital in Boston he began practice in Rutland as a specialist in these lines. About twenty years ago he retired from practice.
Dr. Francisco was greatly interested in music, and was an accomplished pianist. He never married, and his only near surviving relative is a brother.
Class of 1893

He attended the Yale Law School in 1896-7. In the latter year he entered the employ of the federal government in the customs service and so continued until his death on February 27, 1935.

He kept up a lively interest in his Dartmouth class, corre- sponded regularly with several o£ its members, and had the pleasant habit of sending the class secretary picture postcards from places he visited on his vacations. For the 1928 class report he wrote, in part: "Inaddition to my daily duties for UncleSam, I find time to do some writing for'Graduate Fence' column of the Yale Alumni Weekly and to attend annually,with P.

Class of 1898
RT. REV. WALTER TAYLOR SUMNER, bishop of Oregon died at Portland, Ore., September 4, 1935, of a heart attack. He was at Good Samaritan Hospital making a visit as chairman of the board of directors. He had been suffering a heart ailment for several years and had given up many activities. Yet no longer ago than June last, he celebrated the 20th anniversary of his installation as bishop of Oregon and was feeling better than he had in years.
Walter was born in Manchester, N. H., December 5, 1873, the son of Charles Davenport and Rintha (Thompson) Sumner. He graduated from Manchester High School in 1894 and entered Dartmouth. He was a good organist and sang second tenor. He was a member of the College Glee Club four years, and played the organ in chapel as well as in the college church and St. Thomas's church, where he also led the choir. He was universally known in college because of his many activities and his friendly enthusiasm. He was an editor of The Dartmouth, a member of the Dramatic Club, organized and managed the college orchestra, and played the organ in the North Congregational church in St. Johnsbury one year. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and of Sphinx. He received the degree of B. S.
After leaving Dartmouth, he went to Western Theological Seminary, where he was graduated in 1904. While yet an undergraduate, he was made a deacon in 1903, and a year later was ordained a priest. He was secretary to the bishop of Chicago from 1903 to 1906, and during the last two of those years he was pastor of St. George's church in Chicago. He became dean of the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul and superintendent of city missions of the Protestant Episcopal church, which positions he held until he went to Oregon in 1915. During this period he was a member of the Chicago board of educa- tion and chairman and trustee of various commissions and institutions of a public nature in social service lines, especially achieving distinction by his work as chair- man of the Chicago Municipal Vice Com- mission; his report was the subject of dis- cussion throughout the entire country, and had a strong influence on the work of similar commissions in other large cities.
He created a nation-wide sensation in 1912 by refusing to marry any man or woman who could not present a doctor's certificate of good health physically and mentally. Although scientists and women's organizations throughout the country had Been pleading for this action for some time, Dean Sumner was the first prominent member of the clergy not only to advance the theory but to govern his actions in his own church accordingly.
January 6, 1915, he was consecrated bishop of Oregon and went to Portland to live, at 574 Elm St.
He received the honary degree of D. D. from Northwestern University in 1912, from Dartmouth in 1913, and from Western Theological Seminary in 1915. In 1933 he was made an honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa.
January 1, 1918, he married Myrtle Mitchell at Chicago, and they had two children, Elizabeth Ann (June 6, 1919) and Mary Jane (Apr. 7, 1924), who survive him.
During the past 20 years as Bishop of Oregon, he had been an active preacher in his church and elsewhere, especially among young people at colleges and military camps. He had been a special speaker at Bryn Mawr, Princeton, Brown, University of Pennsylvania, Colgate, Vassar, Smith, Purdue, University of Chicago, and University of Wisconsin. For 18 consecutive years he spent a week on the campus of the University of Oregon and Oregon State College by invitation of the president, giving addresses and holding conferences with students.
He was formerly president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago, a member of the Alumni Council for six years, and vice-president one year, and president of the Oregon Dartmouth Alumni Association.
So passes another of '98's most honored and useful members; coming this year after the deaths of other loved classmates, so recently, it is a severe shock to all Dartmouth men and a real loss to the alumni body.
Class of 1900
After a long illness DR. JOHN HATHAWAY LONG died at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., on July 14, 1935. The life of this quiet, able man was one of great accomplishment amid many dramatic surroundings.
Born on December 10, 1877, at Fayal, Azores, his mother moved to Claremont, N. H. and from that delightful New England town John entered Dartmouth College. His college career was perhaps the only quiet period in his life. He won early recognition from his classmates for strength of character, sweetness of disposition, and that love and faith in his fellow men which he retained throughout life. A member of Beta Theta Pi, he was genuinely popular, but he never cared for class or college honors, content to enjoy to the full his undergraduate days and to gain the friendships which he prized so much in later life.
He entered the Medical School at Long Island College, graduating in 1903, serving as interne in the Brooklyn Hospital until 1905, teaching surgery from 1906 to 1911, and then followed a most active and successful career as a surgeon in Brooklyn.
In addition to customary membership in county, state, and American medical associations, John was a past president of the Brooklyn Surgical Society, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, consulting surgeon to the Brooklyn Hospital, the Home of St. Giles the Cripple, and the Mother Memorial Hospital of Port Jefferson.
Then came the Great War: John enlisted on May 1, 1917, went overseas in October, and served until December 25, 1918. Chief of surgeons for Team Number 56. Do you know what that meant? Behind the lines at Belleau Woods, Chateau Thierry, the Second Marne, Fisues, Chemin des Dames, and Argonne. Operating day and night, trying to salvage the wreck of men once sound of limb, or else relieve their terrible suffering. Tragic days for those who saw at first hand war's terrible toll, but nothing to do but wield the knife and pour the anaesthetic until you drop from exhaustion, only to wake again to what John called "just butchery."
We may forget those days, but John Long never could, and he suffered throughout the rest of his life from the mental and physical strain of modern war's carnage. But he did return to Brooklyn to take up once more his active life as a prominent surgeon. Mrs. Long and the two children, George and Mary, were there to welcome him. For John married Mary Warburton in November, 1907, and two fine children blessed their union. John lived to see George graduate from Dartmouth in 1930 and become settled in life, while Mary at home comforted him during his last years. A devoted, self-sacrificing wife and his two loyal children were his recompenses for those two nerve-racking years in France. He was never the same man again, although he was slow to realize it. It isn't surgery to perform over a 1,000 operations in a few months' time. Perfect peace and normality could never be regained, and so he died, retired lieutenant of the senior grade of the Medical Corps of the United States Army. Claremont and Hanover he visited whenever he could, for he loved the hills and mountains of New Hampshire, but Fate threw this strong, gentle, kindly man into the maelstrom of a modern war, and eventually claimed him who tried to ameliorate its ills as one of its millions of victims. We, of 1900, will always love and cherish the memory of this heroic man who deserved "the peace which passeth understanding."
Class of 1910
HARRY HOLLAND HUNTER passed away at his parents' home in Evanston, Ill., August 13, 1935, after a long illness.
Harry was born in Mellette, S. D., the son of Henry Fowler and Alice (Buttruff) Hunter. He entered Dartmouth with the class of 1910 and remained there until February, 1909, at which time he trans- ferred to the University of Chicago, graduating in June, 1910. He married Hester Walrath on June 29, 1920, and they had three children—Holland, born July 6, 1931; Jonathan, Oct. 19, 1922; Henry Fowler, 2d, Dec. 28, 1923. K. V. R. Nicol '10 is a brother-in-law.
Harry enlisted in the Naval Reserve, Aviation, Oct. 15, 1917, and served at M. I. T., Pensacola, England, and Ireland. He became a qualified seaplane pilot, was made an Ensign, U. S. N. R. F., and was discharged Jan. 6, 1919. He served some time as a patrol pilot at Wexford, Ireland. At one time he was secretary of the Metal Block Corp., Chicago, and later was in the lumber business in the same city. Recently he was in the real estate business, and was secretary-treasurer of the Colonial Land Co., the Ready-Made Farms, and the Farm Land Co. A few years ago he moved from Chicago to a fine home in Geneva, so as to give his three boys a semi-country home.
While Harry did not complete his course at Dartmouth, he remained a loyal Dartmouth man, and after a long absence from Hanover attended the class reunion five years ago, and had such a good time that he vowed he would return for the 25th— but critical illness was to prevent.
Class of 1917
AMOS HEYWOOD KNOWLTON was drowned in Lake Mascoma, Enfield, N. H., on August 9, 1935. It is reported that while swimming alone he ventured out too far and other bathers saw him suddenly sink from sight. His body was recovered later by grappling.
He was born in Littleton, Mass., May 3, 1896, the son of Amos Heywood and Adeline Whitney (Patch) Knowlton, and entered college from Worcester Academy. During undergraduate days his scholarly trend was so prominent that his nickname was "Prof," and all his interests were in that direction—Rufus Choate Scholar (2), Deutscher Verein (1, 2), President (3), Classical Society (2, 3), Cercle (3). He was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha and Phi Beta Kappa.
The first year after graduation he spent in graduate study at Harvard, where he obtained his Master's degree in 1918. In August, 1918, he enlisted in the infantry as a private. He was first with the 156th Depot Brigade at Camp Jackson, S. C., and then with the Medical Corps, Psychological Board, at Camp Sevier, S. C., being discharged in February, 1919. In 1919-20 he was teacher of modern languages at the Roxbury School, Cheshire, Conn., and then returned to Harvard for another year of study. In 1921 he was appointed instructor in Romance languages at Dartmouth, and in 1926 was promoted to be assistant professor, which position he held at the time of his death.
In college he won the Pray Modern Language Prize and the George E. Chamberlin Fellowship. He was an accomplished pianist.
Professor Knowlton was unmarried, but was to have been married in September to Miss Marilla Hayden of New York.
Class of 1921
DR. WALTER BERAN WOLFE was killed in an automobile accident near Martigny, Switzerland, on August 15, 1935. He was driving a patient to a sanitarium in Switzerland at the time, and his car struck a cyclist and then ran into a tree. Dr. Wolfe died of a fractured skull.
He was born in Vienna January 25, 1900, the son of Dr. Alexander S. and Marie (Beran) Wolfe. His father moved to the United States and settled in St. Louis when Walter was two years old, and Walter spent his boyhood in the Missouri city and prepared for Dartmouth at the Soldan High School there. In college he was a member of the Jack O'Lantern board for three years. He was also interested in debating and fencing.
SERVED IN U. S. NAVY
After receiving his degree in Hanover, he entered the medical school of Washington University in St. Louis, and was graduated there in 1924. He served for a time in the medical corps of the U. S. Navy and then went to Vienna for post- graduate work. While there he became an assistant to Dr. Alfred Adler, the noted Austrian psychiatrist, and he later translated several of Dr. Adler's works into English. Returning to the United States later, he started practice in New York City, and had advanced so rapidly that he was already rated as one of the leaders among the younger psychiatrists in the United States. In addition to his private practice, he served as director of the men- tal hygiene clinic of the Community Church in New York. He was also for a time psychiatrist for the Manhattan Children's Court.
Beran had also won a wide reputation for his writings, his book, "Women's Best Years," having been among the best sellers in the non-fiction division in the United States for many months this year. He had also written many magazine articles on psychology. Another of his longer works was "How To Be Happy Though Human."
He also had wide interests in the field of art, sculpture, and music. In the field of sculpture he was a prize winner with several of his works.
MANY MEDICAL HONORS
He was a fellow of the American Academy of Medicine and of the Royal Society of Medicine in London, and a member of the International Society of Individual Psychology and the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology.
His wife, Florence Topal Wolfe, was in London visiting relatives at the time of the tragedy, and she brought his body back to the United States, arriving in New York on the lie de France on August 27. Funeral services were held the next day.
By Beran's tragic and sudden passing the class loses not only one of its most loyal members but one who had brought much honor to our group and who gave promise of winning even greater laurels in the future.
