ALUMNI NOTES
Necrology
Class of 1873
In the death of HENRY POOLE SAUNDERSON there has passed away a singularly devoted alumnus of the College and a loyal classmate. Sometimes it has seemed to his intimate friends that he never knew a waking moment without wondering what new item of interest he could put into the pages of that wonderful album of Dartmouth memorabilia which for many years he was constantly arranging and which in his last days was made over to the College.
He was born in Ludlow, Vt., August 3, 1852, the son of Rev. Henry Hamilton and Elizabeth (Cummings) Saunderson, and his whole life was spent in Vermont and New Hampshire. He took the course of the Chandler Scientific Department, and was a member of the Virtuvian fraternity (now Beta Theta Pi).
For a time after graduation he was secretary to John B. Gough, the famous temperance lecturer, and for several years assisted his father in the preparation of a history of Charlestown, N. H. His health prevented regular employment for most of his life. His home after his father's death in 1890 was in Manchester, N. H., where various artistic work was his avocation. He often served as art critic for the house furnishing departments of the Manchester stores, and planned and saw to the making of the badges for class reunions. He was closely identified with the religious work of the First Congregational church of Manchester for many years. He was never married.
He died May 15, 1936, in a hospital of his city, after a brief last illness of myocarditis.
Dr. JUSTIN GIDEON HAYES died at his home in Williamsburg, Mass., June 18, 1936, after an illness of several months.
The son of Benjamin F. and Elizabeth A. (Waldron) Hayes, he was born in Farmington, N. H., October 31, 1849. He prepared for college at Berwick Academy, South Berwick, Me. He is remembered as a quiet, friendly classmate, having a peculiarly winning smile. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.
After graduation he taught for two years at Red Wing, Minn., and then in charge of an academy at Bunker Hill, 111., where he was at first associated with his classmate, N. R. Goss. In 1878 he gave up teaching for the study of medicine, and received his medical degree at the University of New York in 1881. After a brief period of practice at Dover, N. H., he removed to Ipswich, Mass., whence he removed in June, 1888, to Atlanta, Ga. After four years he returned to New England, and was the devoted and successful family physician for the people of Williamsburg for the rest of his life.
October si, 1875, Dr. Hayes was married to Lizzie Gordon, daughter of Nathaniel Hills (Dartmouth 1841) and sister of Edward IST. Hills (Dartmouth 1878). Their only child is Dr. Justin Edward Hayes of Northampton, Mass.
GEORGE PERRY JOHNSON, for two years a member of this class in the Chandler Scientific Department, died at the Cambridge (Mass.) City Hospital, June 19, 1936.
He was born in Manchester, N. H., November 6, 1851, the son of William Butler and Nancy (Poor) Johnson. He was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity (now Sigma Chi). After two years he transferred to Cornell University.
He left Cornell before graduating to enter upon a business career, in which he was notably successful. For twelve years he was assistant treasurer of the Fitchburg R. R. Cos. In 1888 he became connected with the Boston Bank Note Company, engravers and lithographers, and was later president of the company. His home was for many years in Cambridge.
June 5, 1879, he was married to Martha A. G. Ellis of Cambridge. They had four children, three daughters and a son, Howard Ames Johnson, who graduated at Harvard in 1911, and entered his father's business.
Class of 1874
JOSEPH STARR HAINES died suddenly of heart disease in Los Angeles, Calif., June 11, 1936. He had been in his usual health until two days before his death.
He was born in Sacramento, Calif., February 3, 1852. His parents, Joseph Ayers and Maria A. (Jones) Haines, came from New England to California in 1851 and returned when he was six months old. He prepared for college at the high school of Manchester, N. H., and was the valedictorian of his college class. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and Phi Beta Kappa.
The first year after graduation he taught Latin and Greek in the school where he had fitted for college, and then for a year read law in an office in Manchester. He was then for two years a clerk in the National Bank of Redemption in Boston. In 1878 he removed to Storm Lake, lowa, where for many years he was engaged in farming and stock raising in partnership with a brother. In 1919 the two brothers retired from business and removed to Los Angeles. He never married, and lived in his brother's family during all the years of their association together.
His classmate, Professor C. H. Pettee, writes: "On my trip to Honolulu fouryears ago I called on my friend in LosAngeles, and found him the same genial,cheerful, modest, but always helpful person as in old days."
Class of 1878
ALFRED PATTEN SAWYER died in Chelmsford, Mass., May 30, 1936. He had been in failing health for some time, but the end came suddenly and unexpectedly. He went out to buy a morning paper and dropped in the store.
He was born in Lowell, Mass., August 20, 1856, son of Wesley and Mary McC. (Patten) Sawyer. When Alfred was nine years old the family moved to Franklin, N. H., where he attended the public schools half way through high school, completing his college preparation at Kimball Union Academy and coming to Dartmouth in 1874 one of a goodly contingent from Meriden. In 1913 he was made president of the Boston alumni of the Academy.
In college he was a member of Alpha Delta Phi. His athletic interest was mainly in baseball, in which he was an enthusiast, and he took no little pride in the distinction (accorded him in the chapter on baseball in Athletics at Dartmouth) as the initiator of curve pitching at Dartmouth. He was fond of relating the episode in which he and Selim White (catcher) convinced the skeptical professor of natural philosophy that a ball could be pitched around a corner.
Upon graduation Mr. Sawyer entered forthwith upon the study of law in his native city, and after supplementing his office study with a course at Boston University Law School, in 1881 began practice in Lowell, early deciding, as he said, "to stick to his profession and be a lawyer and nothing else." To this decision he adhered for fifty-five years of practice, largely as attorney and trustee of estates.
In 1904 he was appointed by the Massachusetts Supreme Court one of sixteen lawyers to represent the Commonwealth at the Universal Congress of Lawyers and Jurists held at St. Louis in connection with the Louisiana Exposition. A man of fine presence and professional bearing, he enjoyed the professional associations formed on such occasions. Twenty years later he attended the meeting of the American Bar Association held in London at the invitation of the British Barristers, and subsequently read before the Lowell Historical Society (and repeated elsewhere) a very interesting, account of his experiences on this occasion and of the wonderful hospitality accorded the Americans by the British.
He had been for many years president of the Lowell Historical Society, which prospered under his administration, and had a prominent part in the observance of the centennials of the town of Lowell in 1926 and of the city in 1936. In recognition of his approaching eightieth birthday the Society held its spring meeting this year in the house where he was born.
He had done much research upon the history of the early manufacturing operations in the lower valley of the Merrimack, and had made himself an authority upon the history and the legal rights of water powers and mill properties of that region.
Mr. Sawyer was married December 15, 1886, to Miss Addie L. Gibson of Lowell, who survives him. She with their only daughter, Mary Webster (Wellesley '11; dean of girls at Brooklyn, Mass., High School) accompanied him on the European trip. They have also been present with him at reunions in Hanover, and are both loyal to Dartmouth traditions. All three were members of the High Street Congregational church of Lowell, but since their residence in Chelmsford have attended the church near their home. Former long-time pastors of both churches participated in the funeral service, and both expressed warm appreciation of Mr. Sawyer as a consistent member and a wise counselor in church affairs. He was for some years treasurer of the Lowell Y.M.C.A.
He was not a member of any fraternal order, nor was he active in politics, but said he "clung to the Republican faith pure and simple, without any flavor of mugwumpism." He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, of the American Bar Association since 1891, a charter member of the Massachusetts, Middlesex County, and Lowell Bar Associations.
The last named Association was represented at the largely attended funeral by a delegation of seventeen members. Parkhurst and Parkinson represented his college class.
Class of 1879
HARRY BATES THAYER died at his home in New Canaan, Conn., September 3. He had been in poor health for over a year.
He was born in Northfield, Vt., August 17, 1856, the son of J. C. B. and Martha J. (Pratt) Thayer. He attended the public schools of Northfield, and took two years at Norwich University, joining the freshman class at Dartmouth in the middle of the fall term in 1875.
He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and of Phi Beta Kappa, receiving a "philosophical disputation" appointment at Commencement, and the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
He received the degree of Master of Arts in 1915, and of Doctor of Laws in 1929 from Dartmouth. He became an aiumni trustee in 1915, and a life trustee in 1917.
He entered the service of the Bell Telephone System in 1881, in Chicago, being transferred to New York three years later, rising to the position of president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Cos. in 1919.
In 1887 he married Carrie M. Ransom of Ransomville, N. Y„ who died in 1916. He is survived by three children, Dorothy (Mrs. Floyd Noble), Ruth (Mrs. Webb W. Weeks), and John Alden Thayer, all now living in New Canaan. There are also several grandchildren.
Class of 1881
EDWARD HOOPER IVITFIELD died suddenly in his summer camp in Milton, N. H., June 26. He was apparently in his usual good health, but over-exertion in his motor boat so affected his heart that he was gone a half hour after reaching the shore.
He was born at Lynn, Mass., June 4, 1859, the only son of Thomas H. and Elizabeth (Tilton) Kitfield. He attended the Lynn public schools, graduating from the high school there in 1876. He entered Dartmouth with us in 1877, taking the Chandler Scientific course, and graduated in the regular order. He was then two years with the Locks & Canals Company in Lowell, then two with the Boston & Lowell R. R. as a general engineer, then entered upon what proved to be his life work, electrical engineering. He began as an assistant to Prof. Elihu Thomson with the Thomson Houston Electric Company, the pioneer company of the now General Electric. In 1889 he set up his own offices in Boston, specializing in the design and construction of street railway power houses and car barns. Even after his retirement he served as consulting engineer for a number of street railways.
During the World War he served as inspector of war materials for the United States government, in Massachusetts and New York and especially in West Virginia. He retired from active business in 1920. He was a member of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, of the Lynn chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, and other organizations. For over forty years he had been a resident of Swampscott, Mass., where he served the town in various capacities.
He married Miss Inez A. Eldridge of Lynn August 5, 1889. His children were Paul Otis, born and died August 6, 1890; Ruth L., Wheaton 1916, who married James Montgomery of Dartmouth 1917; Philip Hooper, Dartmouth > 1920, Thayer School 1921. His wife, daughter, and son, and four grandchildren survive him.
Class of 1883
FRANK ALPHEUS GAY died at his home in Manchester, N. H., July 27, 1936. He had been in poor health since his retirement in ms-
He was born in Manchester, January 19, 1862, his father, Alpheus Gay, being formerly a mayor of that city. He fitted for college at Manchester High School. In college he was a pitcher of note on the varsity baseball team and was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.
After graduation he became a civil engineer in his native city. In 1918 he was elected register of deeds for Hillsborough county. In 1925 he became superintendent of Manchester Water Works. He resigned in 1933 for reasons of health, having suffered a shock in April, 1932.
June 19, 1886, Mr. Gay was married to Myrtie A., daughter of Benjamin F. Drake of Laconia, N. H., who survives him, with their two daughters, Mrs. William P. Goodman of Manchester and Marion Gay of Coopers town, N. Y.
Class of 1886
REV. WILLIAM EDWIN MARDEN died at York Beach, Me., on July 9, after an illness of two weeks.
Marden had three generations of Dartmouth men in his family, his father, Rev. Augustus L. Marden (class of '56), his oldest brother, Augustus E. Marden (class of 'B4), Marden himself (class of 'B6), and two sons, William W. Marden (class of '11) and Dr. Harold E. Marden (class of 1912). As he had eight grandchildren, four of whom are boys, another generation of four Dartmouth Mardens may be "just around the corner."
Marden was born in Piermont, N. H., June 26, 1865, fitted for college at St. Johnsbury, Vt., and, after graduation from Dartmouth spent five years in the Adelaide Silk Mills of Allentown, Pa. He then entered Princeton Theological Seminary and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1894. His pastorates included one each at Merrisville, Pa., Voorheesville, N. Y., and Philadelphia, Pa., and one of 25 years in Troy, N. Y. During his theological student days he was also a Sabbath School missionary in Western Minnesota. He was married to Anna Elizabeth Walker, artist and musician of Allentown, Pa., June 14, 1888. Beside the two boys above named there is a daughter, Marguerite E. Fitts, born March 26, 1896, Smith College and N. H. University in 1920. This daughter is now the wife of a professor at the last named institution and lives in Durham, N. H. The son, William W., is with the General Electric Cos. and lives at Fairfield, Conn. Dr. Harold E. Marden lives at Albany, N. Y.
For 35 years our classmate and Mrs. Marden had a cottage at York Beach, Me., whore since his retirement from the ministry they spent five or more months each year.
In a 1936 letter to the Secretary Marden listed as his hobbies "love for the ocean, fishing, boating, but with some rheumatism these diversions are more difficult." But even rheumatism could not prevent Mard from looking out over the ocean from the cliff at York Beach. I wish every 'B6 man could see the picture of him thus occupied on that rocky and surf-beaten shore. We all need both the natural and spiritual visions which came to Marden as he looked "out to sea." Although he does not wear a cowl, yet if he did, and if Emerson could have been a classmate for 50 years, and then could have seen Mard as he was when this picture Was taken, he might have written the last two lines of his first six in his poem "The Problem," not as he once wrote them—thus;
"Yet not for all his faith can seeWould I that cowled churchman be." but thus; "Ah yes, for what Mard's faith can see
I would that York Beach churchman be." Note: The above sketch of Marden was written on July 9. In the morning of July 11 came the word from his daughter, Mrs. Fitts, that our Marden had put out to sea in the afternoon of July 9. I leave the sketch as I wrote it and refer the reader also to what is said about him in the account of our 50th Reunion in this issue. His daughter, Mrs. Fitts, wrote soon after his death: "One. thing we are all glad toremember is that he was able to go to his'Fiftieth' and had such a wonderful time."
Class of 1888
ARTHUR LESLIE LIVERMORE died at his home in Yonkers, N. Y., July 12, 1936, from a heart attack, said to have been induced by the extreme heat of early July.
Mr. Livermore was a prominent lawyer in New York City, and had made his home in Yonkers for 33 years. In 1890 he married Miss Henrietta Wells of Cambridge, Mass., who died in 1933. She was an active worker in the Republican party, and a personal friend of Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the founder and three times president of the National Women's Republican Club, and always a forceful influence in awakening in women the feeling of political and civic responsibility. Her death was a serious blow to all workers in the cause of good government.
Mr. Livermore was interested in politics, but never accepted public office. His interests aside from his profession were varied, and always in lines which were for the best interests of the community and the nation.
He was a golfer of note and the founder of St. Andrews Golf Club, a member of the Union League Club of New York, the Bankers Club of America, and the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. All Dartmouth affairs made a strong appeal to him, and there was little action of importance affecting the College since 1888 with which he was not familiar. He served his terms as a member of the Alumni Council, president of the Alumni Association of New York, and class agent for the Alumni Fund.
Mr. Livermore was a son of James Russell and Sarah E. Livermore, and was born at Alstead, N. H., December 6, 1864, attended school at Keene, N. H., and prepared for college at Dean Academy, Franklin, Mass. After graduation from Dartmouth he became principal of Houston (Tex.) High School. After two years' service in this position, during which he studied law, he was admitted to the bar, and practiced in Houston for three years, moving to New York in 1893, where until his death he was in active practice. His son, Russell 8., of the class of 1915, was associated with him.
Surviving him are two sons, Russell B. and Henry W. of Miami, Fla., and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Barrett and Miss Grace E. Livermore of Keene, N. H.
A vivid personality has left us.
Class of 1 889
SAMUEL RYAN CUTLER died at the Chelsea Memorial Hospital, July 28, 1936, after an illness of several months.
He was born at Peterboro, N. H., April 29, 1866, the son of Dr. John H. and Martha L. (Ryan) Cutler. He prepared for college at Cushing Academy, Ashburnham, Mass.,- entered and graduated (8.5.) with our class. Four days after graduation he began the study of law, and received the degree LL.B. from the Boston University Law School in 1892. All the years from 1892 to 1936 his office was in Pemberton Square, Boston, and his residence in Revere. In April, 1897, he was appointed by Gov. Roger Walcott, associate justice of the Chelsea Municipal Court. The appointment was confirmed on his birthday, April 29. Chelsea and Revere are parts of Suffolk county. For 19 years he was town solicitor of Revere, until the town became a city. He was greatly interested in studying statutes relating to the government of towns and was considered an authority on town laws. He took an active part in business and civic and historical organizations in Revere and Chelsea. When a new bank was organized in Chelsea in 1919, he was elected president, and held that office until his death. The senior justice of the Chelsea court died in 1928, and Gov. Fuller designated Cutler as presiding justice. He had served as associate justice for 31 years, and for much of this time had performed the duties of his senior, in the latter's absence.
By way of diversion, in addition to historical research, "Sam" was interested in dog shows, cattle shows and county fairs, although it does not appear that he ever owned a dog or a horse or a cow. He was legal adviser to kennel clubs and for many years was a member of the trial board of one of the prominent New York clubs. . ... In his official relations with the personnel of his court and his bank he was able to inspire loyalty and a friendly, "family" atmosphere which was unusual in these days of "hustle" and casualness. .... On the day of the funeral, not only were the court and the bank closed, but many of the business places as well. Representatives from numerous organizations attended the services in the church, among them two from our class, Ralph Bartlett and the Secretary. Besides the minister, the mayor of the city and the president of the local bar association paid tribute to his high professional standards for even justice to all, his friendships and loyalties and his wide and sympathetic interests Burial was in his native town of Peterboro. .... Judge Cutler married Miss Ida Palmer Miller, at Whitneyville, Me., April 20, 1904, who survives him, as does also a brother, Dr. Charles Cutler, of Peterboro.
WILLIAM PILLSBURY HALE died of angina, at his home on Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H., May 26, 1936, after an illness of a few hours.
He was born at Concord, N. H., December 23, 1866, the son of William H. and Mary J. (Pillsbury) Hale. He prepared for college at the Concord High School, entered and graduated (A.8.) with our class. In less than a week after Commencement he entered the office of Ranney & Clark in Boston, and began the study of law, and was admitted to practice in Massachusetts courts, July, 1891 During the next 25 years there was an active law practice in and from his Boston office. He attended our quarter-centennial reunion in 1914, and a little later we learned that he had given up active practice and was devoting his entire time to historical research, to which he had already given freely of his spare time. For the rest of his life he studied the history of the United States. He worked with enthusiasm and diligence, visiting many parts of this country, wherever he could find good libraries and original documents. He also made several trips to Europe, studying particularly in London and Paris. Year after year, for weeks on end, he toiled in New York, in the Congressional Library, and in the Boston Athenaeum, and spent long summers at Lake Winnipesaukee. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hale were present at our reunion in 1924. . ... At Canton, Ohio, June 26, 1909, Hale married Miss Clara Alice Lenker, who died October 16, 1912. His second marriage was at Clifton, Mass., September 2, 1920, to Miss June Carey Houston. Mrs. Hale has leased their long-time island home and is living on the mainland, nearby.
Class of 1890
The death of DR. HENRY SINCLAIR HUTCHINSON, which occurred in a hospital at St. Petersburg, Fla., December 25, 1935, has only recently been reported.
He was born in Portsmouth, N. H., December 15, 1869, his father being J. H. Hutchinson.
After graduation he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, where he graduated in 1893. For some time he was in hospital work on Blackwell's Island, and then began private practice in New York City. In October, 1894, he removed to Binghamton, N. Y., where he was in practice until the failure of his health. He had gone to Florida about a month before his death. A newspaper notice indicates that he was perhaps best known for his hobby, woodcraft and metals, and that he and his wife had traveled widely.
In July, 1895, he was married to Susan Rich of Binghamton, who survives him, with two daughters, Mrs. Read H. Brown of Scarsdale, N. Y., and Mrs. Algot J. Lindstrom of St. Petersburg.
EDWIN JOHN MORRISON died suddenly of heart disease at his home in Yonkers, N. Y„ July i, 1936.

He left college at the end of junior year and received his degree (8.L.) some years later. In 1890 he entered the Thayer School, from which he graduated in 1893, his course being interrupted by engineering experience on the Nicaraguan Canal project.
For a few months in 1893 he was employed in the bridge department of the Boston & Maine R. R., and then was for some months in Hanover, in charge of the construction of the reservoir and dam built for the Hanover Water Works Cos. In the spring of 1894 he joined the Hastings Pavement Cos. of New York as engineer in charge of construction. He later became chief engineer and in 1912 was made president and general manager. Since 1925 he has been an overseer of the Thayer School.
Mr. Morrison was a director of the Asphalt Institute of New York City, a member of the Employment Relations Council of the National Association of Manufacturers, of the City Affairs Committee of the New York Board of Trade, of the Merchants' Association of New York City, and of the Chamber of Commerce of Yonkers.

HERMAN HOWARD KIBBEY died June 3, 1936, at the Gifford Memorial Hospital, Randolph, Vt., after several years of failing health.
The son of Orin C. and Lucy M. Kibbey, he was born in Newport, N. H., March 3, 1864. After his graduation as class orator at the Hartford (Conn.) High School, he entered Dartmouth. In college he was studious and held excellent rank, becoming a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and in his junior year an editor of the Aegis. His class chose him for the Class Day oration.
His life following graduation was that of teaching. He taught nine years in the Highland Military Academy, Worcester, Mass. This was followed by five years' service in Northfield, Vt., as principal of the high and graded schools. For the latter part of the time this included the superintendency of the rural schools. Later he spent six years in the schools of Swanton, Vt., and nine years at North Bennington, Vt., from which last position he resigned on account of failing health in 1920. Since then he has lived in South Royalton, Vt.
In 1893 he was married to Alice M., daughter of Constance S. and Ellen (Kibbler) Dodge, who survives him. There are no children.
Bugbee and Tewksbury were present at the funeral services.
Class of 1892
CHARLES LINUS KEMP died on August 8, at the hospital in Sitka, Alaska. He suffered a shock at his home in Anchorage, Alaska, last fall but seemed to be gaining. In July it was decided to go to Sitka, where better hospital facilities were available. Another shock, however, brought the end in a few days.
Kemp was born in Lisbon, N. H., December 1, 1868. His father, James B. Kemp, was at that time a merchant in Lisbon but soon sold out his store and bought one in East Corinth, Vt., where Charlie attended a village school. He later entered St. Johnsbury Academy, where he was graduated in 'BB. He came directly to Dartmouth and was with us during the four years.
After graduation he went to Bristol, N. H., and was associated in business with his father there until the death of his father in 1897. As soon as the estate was settled, Charlie started for Alaska, called there by the discovery of gold. For some years he traveled all over the territory, prospecting for gold. He had his full share of adventures and hardships, but met with only fair success financially. His experiences entitled him to membership in the Old Timers' Club. After some years of prospecting he gave up that life and settled down in Anchorage, where he was clerk in the United States District Court and was accountant for a mine company.
Kemp was always interested in music; sang in the Glee Club and played the violin during his college course. He kept up his love for music in Alaska, and was for many years a member of an orchestra and leader of a choir there. He reported that he was not playing much of late years, because after the war the dancers in Alaska wanted jazz and he would not play that kind of music.
On March 13, 1931, Charles married Mrs. Mahala (Currier) Miller of Hartford, Vt., and she survives him.
SAMUEL JULIAN LORD died at his summer residence in Center Harbor, N. H., on June 2i, after an illness of a few weeks.
Lord was born in Manchester, N. H., September 14, 1869 the son of Harrison D. and Juliette (True) Lord. He was educated in the public schools of that city and had his four years in Dartmouth '92, graduating with an A.B. degree. He later returned for study in the Thayer School and was graduated from there with the class of 1896.
After a few years of employment with private companies, he returned to Manchester, and served his city for twenty-three years as city engineer. In 1923 he accepted the position of hydraulic engineer with the Public Service Commission of New Hampshire, a post which he held at the time of his death. During the legislative term of 1927 Lord represented the 17th district in the New Hampshire Senate.
November 26, 1895, he married Olive J. Fitzgerald of Norwich, Vt. Mrs. Lord survives him, as do four children: Mrs. J. O. Hobart of Arlington, Mass.; Miss Dorothy Lord of Brighton, Mass.; Gordon S. Lord of Manchester (Dartmouth 1929); and Gerald H. Lord of Center Harbor.
Class of 1897
MAURICE WATSON, after a brief illness, died at his summer residence in Gilmanton, N. H., June 22, 1936, and Herbert Thyng of Barnstead and Doctor Herman Christophe of Manchester were the only members of the class who learned of the death in time to attend the funeral. The burial was in Gilmanton.
Maurice had been as active as ever through the spring, but it seems that he had known that his condition was precarious, as in his last conversation with Christophe he expressed his eagerness to attend the 1897 reunion next June as he was certain that it would be his last reunion with the class.
Maurice was born in Haverhill, N. H., May 2, 1874, and his father was a physician. He fitted at Kimball Union Academy. August 21, 1905 he was married in Manchester to Martha S. Parsons, and he is survived by his wife and two sons. Henry Parsons was graduated from Dartmouth in 1932. After his graduation he studied in France and has since taught French in the East Brewster High School in Massachusetts. He has recently been appointed to the faculty of Barrett School in Colorado, a private school which specializes in Dartmouth professors. The younger son, William Hosley, is a sophomore in St. Anselm's College in Manchester.
At college Watson made a substantial record as a member of the varsity baseball team. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi, and from 1897 no fraternity had a stronger delegation. He received his professional training in the Dartmouth Medical College, and his long years of practice have been in the city of Manchester. He has had many interests. He was a school board member, an alderman, city physician, and specialist for the city in smallpox control. He was a happy and successful golfer.
The whole is a good story of a manly life, and all who knew him have rich memories of a life of kindness, sanity, productive work, and effective idealism.
Class of 1899
HAROLD OSCAR FRENCH ("Franco") died July 29, 1936, in an abandoned house on the old Peacham road in Groton, Vt. Death was caused by shooting himself. He had been in poor health for some time. A note was found on his body in which he stated that his poor health was the reason for ending his life. "Franco" apparently had gone to the house, locked the door behind him, hung his glasses on the doorknob, hung his hat on a nail, and shot himself through the right temple with a revolver. His parked car before the house attracted the attention of the authorities and resulted in the discovery of his dead body.
Harold O. French was born in Hartford, Vt., August 20, 1877, the son of Alfred and Susan (Hazen) French. He was educated in the public schools of Hartford, St. Johnsbury Academy, and Dartmouth, where he graduated with the class of 1899. After graduation he put aside plans for his own future and returned to Hartford, to help his father, wh6 owned a country store. On the death of his father he entered the employ of the Fairbanks Scale Cos. at St. Johnsbury, Vt., where he remained for nearly 35 years as an accountant and cost executive. Mr. French never married, but made his home with his mother and later with his uncle, Perley F. Hazen of St. Johnsbury. His only surviving relative is a sister.
In college "Franco" was secretary and treasurer of his class for one year and sang in the Glee Club in '95 and '96. He had a strong and pleasing bass voice, was for many years the soloist in the South Congregational choir at St. Johnsbury, and often took part in musical entertainments. At class reunions and roundups he could always be relied on to lend his musical skill to enliven or entertain. He was a person of retiring disposition, yet his intimate friends found him a pleasant companion and a person singularly well informed on current events. He was of Vermont and bred to conceal his inner feelings. He craved friendship, but lacked the technique of acquiring it. He had definite ambitions in his early youth, which he laid aside that family obligations might be fulfilled. "Franco" was a man of sentiment, which through shame at such weakness he did his best to conceal.
There were no highlights in his life. He devoted himself to his immediate obligations, level best in an important position, utilized a natural gift for the delight of others, relaxed on rare occasions, and viewed the passing show with keen and appraising eye. He conquered no worlds, but he helped to make one.
Burial was in the family lot in Hartford, Vt.
Class of 1900
DR. ARTHUR TAYLOR DOWNING died at his home in Littleton, N. H., on June 25, 1936, at the age of fifty-seven years. He had been in excellent health up to last winter, when it was discovered that he was affected with a malignant growth, which had gone too far for any effective surgical treatment.
"Pete" was born in Hanover, N. H., on October 22, 1878, the son of L. B. Downing, the proprietor of the local pharmacy for more than forty years, known to Dartmouth men for his active service to church and community, and for his picturesque and kindly personality. The son attended the local schools and received his secondary training at Kimball Union Academy. He entered Dartmouth with the class of 1900 in the fall of 1896, and soon acquired a place for himself among the undergraduates of his time, not by any spectacular qualities, but through his quiet manliness and his kindly and friendly personality. His scholastic record was good, the outstanding feature of it being the winning of the first prize in botany in his sophomore year. His fraternity was Phi Delta Theta. Upon graduation he was one of the large contingent of 1900 men who entered the Dartmouth Medical School, receiving his M.D. degree from that institution in 1903. After serving as house physician in the New Hampshire State Hospital, he entered practice at East Barrington, N. H., where he remained for two years. He then removed to Littleton, where the rest of his life was spent. Here he soon acquired a large practice, much enlarged in the summer by calls from vacation residents in the land of which Littleton is the summer center. He was able, effective, and sympathetic as a physician, and, while devoting himself to general practice, was particularly interested in surgery. His skill in this branch of his calling is indicated by the fact that in 1913 he was admitted to membership in the American College of Surgeons.
His interests were not, however, merely professional. He took a leading and useful part in the activities of the community. He was a Mason, a prominent member of the Congregational church, a member and president of the Rotary Club, and president of the local Building and Loan Association. He was also chairman of the committee in charge of the erection of the new high school building, and to him, more than to any other member of the community, is due the splendid structure which now serves the town. No appeal for unselfish service found him wanting or reluctant.
His hobby was the outdoors and all related to it. He acquired a farm on the hills of Littleton, splendid in its outlook over the Connecticut valley. This he loved, and there he asked to be carried when it became but too evident that his days were short. He liked to describe himself as a dirt farmer, and his leisure was devoted to the development of this rural retreat. Here he raised splendid displays of flowers; here he interested himself in the rearing of trout and pheasants, and in other diversions which the country affords. He liked to take long rides on horseback over the hills. The countryside, the woods, the streams, things growing and living, were his diversion and his joy.
He was a loyal member of the class and of the College. The same qualities which enabled him to meet so effectively the opportunities open to the country doctor as not only the professional adviser but the sympathetic friend of those who consulted him; the qualities which made him respected and loved in the community, were displayed in full in his relations with his classmates. From few gatherings of the class was he absent. His quiet and cheerful personality, his generosity, his kindly sympathy, his apparent youthfulness, his joy and zest in life, were qualities which made all of us admire and cherish him. Our association will never be quite the same without him.
Dr. Downing was married on September 4, 1903, at Ludlow, Vt., to Mabel Moore, who survives him, as do their two sons, Everett C. and Allen M., both graduates of the College in the class of 1928. His funeral, held in the Congregational church at Littleton on June 28, attested by its wide attendance the high place which he held in the community. Present from the class were Perry Fairfield, Goodhue, Sanborn, Balkam, Harry Jenkins, Dana Sears, Brooks, and Barker.
CHARLES ALLEN DREW died at Queens Hospital, Honolulu, on June 20, 1936, at the age of fifty-eight. He had been ill for several months.
Drew was born in Farmington, Me., on September 3, 1877, the son of John Henry and Louise (Lancaster) Drew. His father was a sea captain. Drew's early life was passed at Jamacia Plain, Mass. He was graduated from the West Roxbury High School and entered Dartmouth College in the fall of 1896. His attractive social qualities and his engaging personality soon marked him as a leader among the members of his class. He was a member of the Glee Club in his junior and senior years, a member of the chapel and Episcopal choirs, and was usher at the junior ball. His fraternity was Psi Upsilpn and he was also a member of the Sphinx senior society.
For a time after graduation he was a student in the Harvard Medical School. Finding a medical calling not to his taste, in 1906 he entered the employ of the Matson Steamship Line as purser on boats running from San Francisco to Honolulu. In 1913 he became manager in Hilo for that line, being transferred to Honolulu as claim agent in 1914. Two years later he became associated with the shipping department of Castle and Cooke Company, becoming manager of that department and secretary of the corporation in 1923. This position he retained until his retirment in 1931. He was particularly active in promoting the development of Hawaii's tourist travel.
Through his geographical separation from the remainder of the class and from a reluctance to letter writing on his part, Pete Drew was little in touch with his Dartmouth associates after graduation. Henry Teague, visiting Honolulu in 1917, describes him as living in a most attractive home, while in 1927 he appeared in Boston, looking up his old friends. He attended the winter class round-up in Boston in that year, as well as other gatherings arranged for his benefit, and was the same attractive Pete of college years. Aside from the Boston group few members of the class have seen him since graduation.
Drew was married in San Francisco on June 28, 1911, to Miss Hazel Jones. The couple had no children. His funeral was held in Williams Mortuary in Honolulu, and his ashes taken to the mainland for burial.
Class of 1901
DR. ALBRA WHITMORE died at his home in Winter Park, Fla., April 30, 1936, from a malignant tumor of the liver, being confined to his bed only two weeks.
He was born at West Hampden, Me., November 8, 1865, the son of Hiram and Emily (Goodell) Whitmore. His preliminary education was obtained at Hampden Academy, and he took his entire medical course of four years at Dartmouth.
For two years after graduation he practiced at West Swanzey, N. H., and then for a short time at Keene and Hinsdale. He then removed to Somersworth, N. H., and continued in practice there until his health broke down from overwork in the influenza epidemic. In 1919 he went to Atlanta, Ga., and attempted to resume practice, but a nervous breakdown compelled him to give up, and he was able to do but little for the rest of his life. From Atlanta he went to Pensacola, Fla., then to Birmingham, Ala., and back to Florida, living in Venice, Ellenton, and Winter Park.
March 1, 1901, he was married to Mary Nablau, daughter of Joseph and Valerie (Bokars) Labbie of Hanover, who survives him, with four of their six children. There are also nine grandchildren.
Class of 1902
ALMON EDGAR ADAMS, a member of the class for three years, died very suddenly on the evening of June 13, 1936.
Allie Adams was born October 22, 1880, in Plymouth, N. H., and came to Dartmouth from the high school at Littleton. He was prominent in the Glee Club, and his beautiful tenor voice was always an addition to church and chapel choirs. He was also a member of the class baseball team. His fraternity was Alpha Delta Phi. He took his senior year at Columbia, where he graduated in 1903.
His career was notable, and he made a host of friends during his long service with the American Surety Company, whose employ he entered in 1908. For many years he had been manager of the Minneapblis office for the northwest section.
In 1905 he was married to Helen Morris. Besides his widow he left four daughters, and five grandchildren. The accidental death in 1933 of his son, Milton (for three years in the class of 1929 at Dartmouth), cast a deep shadow over the family. Allie was very proud of his family, and had hopes for them all.
And with all his busy life, this man never forgot New Hampshire and Dartmouth College. As time went on they seemed to mean more and more to him. He will be truly missed not only in his own community but in the wider group of Dartmouth men.
Class of 1904
EDWARD SIMMONS WILLIS, president of the Loan and Trust Savings Bank and treasurer of the Page Belting Company, died July 7, 1936, at his home, 8 Court St., Concord, N. H., after a short illness. He leaves his widow, Mrs. Mary Fernald Willis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Josiah E. Fernald of Concord, N. H., and a sister, Mrs. Florence Willis Chilcott of Bristol, N. H.
Born in Warner, N. H., December 22, 1881, he was the son of Harlan S. and Susan A. (Sawyer) Willis. Ned prepared for college at Simonds Free High School in Warner.
Immediately after graduation he entered the employ of the Page Belting Cos. In 1919 he was elected its treasurer. On October 30, 1934, he was chosen president of the Loan and Trust Savings Bank, resigning at that time a trusteeship which he had held in the New Hampshire Savings Bank since 1922. He had been vice-president of the National State Capital Bank for the past five years, serving also as a director of the New England Cable Company and of the Waterville Valley Association, and as treasurer of the New Hampshire Bankers' Association and of the Simonds Free High School, Inc., of Warner, N. H. He was a trustee of the Margaret Pillsbury General Hospital and had been recently elected a member of the Colby Junior College permanent fund committee. Ned was elected as an original member of the board of the Dartmouth Scholarship Fund for Merrimack County and had been selected to act as its treasurer.
He belonged to the Wonolancdt Club and the Bow Brook Club, and was a charter member of the Concord Country Club, where he had served as a director and had been chairman of the green's committee since the golf course was built in 1930.
He was also a member of the Harris Lodge, A. F. and A. M., in Warner.
There were a large number of Concord Dartmouth men, in addition to Edgar Hunter 'Ol of Hanover, at the services at the Willis home Friday afternoon, July 10; and from the class, the Charrons, Edgerlys, Austins, Robinson, Gale, Lampee, Rollins, Johnson, and Gray. It was a privilege for all members of the class to spend a short time with Mrs. Willis after the service.
Ned represented just about all the virtues that count for anything in a man, and his life seemed filled with the spirit of service and a willingness to bear more than a proportionate share of the burdens of community life. With all these sound qualities he had a personal charm which endeared him to everyone who knew him. Everyone from the dignitaries of his city to the boys on the street loved him. In front of his house there is a park in which the county courthouse is located, and the boys of the neighborhood play ball in this park. Ned used to keep them supplied with baseballs, and one of the most touching floral tributes which was received at the services was a spray of flowers with a card bearing the inscription: "From the Courthouse Gang." Probably no man in the class felt a deeper affection for Dartmouth College than Ned Willis. To the few who knew him most intimately he occasionally revealed the real depth of his feeling for Dartmouth.
Editorially, the Concord Daily Monitor said of his death: "In the death of Edward S. Willis, Concord loses one of its very first citizens. Quiet and genial, he accepted positions of great responsibility and proceeded about his business with a calm and reassuring proficiency which was contagious. Had he lived, even greater responsibilities would have fallen to his lot. As it is, he has been lost to the community just he he was entering those years when he would have been called upon to do his greatest work.
"In every community there is a constantneed for outstanding men. When such menare found, and Edward S. Willis was oneof them, their untimely death always isparticularly shocking. No man is indispensable, but a few are vastly harder toreplace than the majority. So it will be asConcord tries to fill the place 'Ned' Willishas occupied."
DR. DANIEL CAPRON NORTON, one of New England's most prominent eye, ear, nose, and throat specialists, died July 14, 1936, at his home in Manchester, N. H. He had been in failing health since early in 1935.
Born in New Britain, Conn., February 7, 1881, Dan went from Dartmouth College in 1904 to Dartmouth Medical School, from which he was graduated in 1907. A year each of internship at the Salem Hospital and the Boston City Hospital was followed by study and clinical work at the Boston Eye and Ear Infirmary.
In 1909 Dan established his residence in Manchester, where he had since remained, building up one of the largest practices in the state, and establishing a widespread reputation in his chosen field.
He was a member of the city, county, and state medical societies, the New Hampshire Surgical Club, and the New England Oto-Laryngological Society, in which he was prominent, and of the staffs of the Elliot and Balch Hospitals. He also held membership in the Derryfield Club.
May 11, 1909, Dan was married to Miss Susie G. Dowd of Athol, Mass., who survives him. He leaves also a son, Russell C., now a student at the Yale Medical School; two daughters, Elizabeth and Natalie, and a sister, Mrs. M. A. Coe of New Britain, Conn.
Funeral services on July 16 at the Franklin Street Congregational chapel were conducted by Rev. Wallace W. Anderson, who paid the following tribute to Dan:
"We thank Thee for the ministry of thisman. For his ability to heal the sick, forhis loyalty to his profession, for his kindness and understanding sympathy, we dothank Thee. Through his spirit of friendliness we have felt some of the warmth oftrue comradeship. We bless Thee for Thygrace that kindled in his heart a devotionto people and a desire to give to them thebest that his high talents and ability enabled him to give."
Among the Dartmouth men at the services was A 1 Schilling 'O2; and representing 'O4 were Lampee, Sexton, Edgerly, Johnson, Mangurian, Rollins, and Austin. After the church service all members of the class went to the Norton home for a short visit with Mrs. Norton and her fine family.
The large measure of success achieved by Dan in the practice of his profession did not impair his capacity for genial and happy companionship at our class gatherings, where his unusual mental keenness and naive wit combined with the rare charm of his personality to create the memories we now cherish. Mrs. Norton in a letter said, "His deepest interests were in his class, and during the long months of illness he never failed to follow every word concerning its activities."
Class of 1905
EDWIN WALTER NEWDICK died suddenly August 16, 1936, at his home'in Scituate, Mass., from cerebral thrombosis. He had been in apparent good health until a day or two before.
He was born in Scituate, August g, 1883, the son of W. C. Newdick, and prepared for college at Arlington (Mass.) High School. He was a member of Sigma Chi and Dragon.
After graduation he served as a reporter for the Christian Science Monitor, and for a time was its Washington correspondent. His association with this and other newspapers extended over a period of more than thirty years. At one time he served as publicity agent for the Secretary of War.
Several years ago he entered into the field of labor controversies as arbitrator, and was selected by the city of Haverhill in 1925 as a neutral arbitrator in the wage dispute between the Shoe Workers' Protective Union of that city and the Haverhill Shoe Manufacturers' Association.
In Washington he served as an economist on the Advisory Board of the AAA, and was instrumental in the development of codes for the shoe industry. He had been the representative of the Labor Bureau, Inc., of Boston, and had served as expert for the Massachusetts State Board of Arbitration and Conciliation.
In 1927 and 1928 he was chairman of the Haverhill Shoe Board, and was active in settling differences between the union and the manufacturers in Haverhill and other shoe centers. In 1928 he was engaged in labor research and statistical work under Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale. For the past three years he had been associated with the Brotherhood of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen, an independent Brockton union.
Having thus been so closely associated with labor problems and research for over twenty years, he had become generally recognized as an expert in this field, and his special articles on labor were widely read. He was frequently called to speak before labor gatherings.
For the past two years he had resided in Scituate, where it was his intention to make his permanent home.
December gg, 1915, he was married to Lila Louisa Ahlberg of Boston, who survives him, with their two children, Ann Elizabeth and Edwin Lawrence.
In college Walter was one of the most popular members of the class, well liked and a friend to all, and in after years these qualities remained consistently unchanged.
Class o£ 1906
HAROLD BACON STANTON died at Durham, N. H., May 18, 1936, of a disease of the kidneys. He suffered a complete nervous breakdown five years ago, and although able to work from time to time, had been in very frail health ever since.
Harold was born in Newton, Mass., July 10, 1883, the son of Louis C. (Dartmouth 1875) and S. Emma (Bacon) Stanton. Entering college from the Newton High School he at once took an active part in the 'life of Dartmouth and won a wide friendship among his classmates. He was a member of Chi Phi fraternity. He sang in the college choir throughout his four years and in his senior year was a member of the glee club. He was a member of the track squad his freshman year and of the track team during the other three years; in addition he was an accomplished tennis player and participated in the finals of the fall tennis tournament in sophomore year. An excellent student in languages, he was awarded the Class of 1846 Latin Prize at the end of junior year.
The year following graduation was largely spent in study and travel in France. In the fall of 1907 he went as teacher of French and athletics at the Rumsey Hall School in Cornwall, Conn. In 1909 he became instructor in French and German at Bates College, where he remained for two years. This was followed by a year of teaching French and English in the Chauncy Hall School in Boston. In the meantime he had been studying at Harvard, and received his A.M. degree there in 1912. From 1912 to 1921 he was instructor in French in the Boston English High School, a position which he left to become assistant professor of French in Rutgers University. After two years there he became associate professor of French in North Carolina College for Women. From 1925 to 1927 he was engaged in study at Brown University, and received the degrees of A.M. and Ph.D. in the latter year. While studying he also taught French and Italian in the university. In 1927 he returned to North Carolina College as professor of French, a position which he relinquished in 1930 to accept the headship of the department of Romance languages at the University of New Hampshire. After a year at Durham, however, he retired to Cumberland Center, Me., where he remained until a few months before his death. When his health permitted he engaged in various enterprises, teaching for short periods of time in Cumberland and in Portland.
Harold was married August 23, 1911, to Ethel Leighton of Watertown, Mass., a graduate of Radcliffe College. She survives him, with their three children, Leigh of Newton, Mass., and Faith and Roger Bacon of Durham.
Class of 1907
DR. DENNIS LEO BLACK, a physician in the Veterans Bureau, died on June 5 in his office in the Federal Building, in Boston.
He was born on July 23, 1882, in Pembroke, Me., the son of the late Neal and Ann (Lamond) Black. Moving to Nashua, N. H., as a boy, he was educated in the Nashua schools and the University of New Hampshire at Durham, where he prepared for Dartmouth. He was prominent in athletics, both at New Hampshire and at Dartmouth, being a member of varsity football and baseball teams at the former and playing varsity baseball at Dartmouth in 1904 and 1905. At Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Delta Theta and Sphinx societies. His medical education was received at Dartmouth Medical School, from which he graduated in 1910. Starting the practice of medicine in Manchester, N. H., in 1911, he moved to Nashua a year later, practicing there until he enlisted for service in the United States Army during the World War. Following the war, he entered the service of the Veterans Bureau as examining physician, remaining in that occupation until his death.
Dennis Black leaves a wife who resides at Lawrence, Mass., and three brothers, all of Nashua, N. H.
Class of 1909
JOSEPH RICHMOND HATCH died suddenly on July 2, 1936, of coronary thrombosis, leaving his wife, Louise Murgatroyd Hatch, his son, Joseph William Hatch, and his mother, now living in Brookline, Mass., surviving him.
He was born in Chelsea, Mass., Decernber 17, 1886, his parents being Joseph Ivory and Lila A. R. (Green) Hatch.
After graduation Joe attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and then was connected with the Edison Electric Illuminating Cos. of Boston, the Underwriters Bureau of New England, the DuPont Company in Wilmington, Del., Lippincott & Cos., Philadelphia, the John Wanamaker store, Philadelphia, and Houston Dunn, Inc., Philadelphia. Since 1929 he had been president of J. R. Hatch & Cos., insurance brokers, of Wilmington, Del., where Joe lived for the last eighteen years.

He was also secretary of the Sons of the American Revolution, a former secretary of the Kiwanis Club, a member of the Wilmington Whist Club, the Masonic Blue Lodge, Council, and Chapter, the Small Point, Me., Association, the Portland Yacht Club, and the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Joe went through Boston last year on his way to attend a convention of the Sons of the American Revolution in Portland, Me., seemed well, happy and prosperous, and his sudden loss comes as a severe shock to all of us. His deep interest in Dartmouth affairs, his public spirit, and his friendly helpfulness to his friends and associates made him an outstanding figure among our classmates.
Class of 1910
MAYNARD CANFIELD TEALL, one of the best known members of the class, had a chill on the evening of May 5, was taken to the hospital on May 7, and passed away from pneumonia on May 11. He had worked hard on several big cases during the preceding months, among which was the Mellon tax trial, and did not have the necessary reserve to fight off the disease.
Maynard's career was a most interesting and successful one—born June 30, 1887, at Syracuse, N. Y., the son of Seely Bartlett and Mary (Maynard) Teall, the family moved to Sodus, N. Y., and he received his college preparatory education at Colgate Academy. From his very first day in Hanover he showed that he had unusual mental capacity and knew how to use it. On class and varsity debating squads, as class treasurer and our first secretary after graduation, he showed ability and promise. He graduated magna cum laude, won various prizes and scholarships, was Phi Beta Kappa and a Rufus Choate scholar. After teaching one year at University School, Baltimore, he entered Harvard Law School, graduating in 1914. Starting law practice in Buffalo immediately, he lived at the Y. M. C. A., and not having much to do evenings joined a cavalry troop with some friends. Hardly in it when they were sent to the Mexican border. He started an army life that led to Camp Meade, where he married Margaret Holmes Bevan of Baltimore on May 18, 1918, just before going overseas. While over there he served as captain under a major named Reed. About all he knew about him was that he was a lawyer in Pittsburgh. Discussing law, Reed told him that if he ever wanted to practice law in Pittsburgh to let him know. Then quickly followed the return home, a short period of practice in Baltimore; then with Jim MacPherson in Boston, when Jim was president of the Mass. Senate; connections with J. Weston Allen, who became attorney general; appointment as assistant attorney general, following Slip Powers in that office; a letter one day from Reed in Pittsburgh offering Maynard a junior partnership, this "Major Reed" turning out to be the well-known senator from Pennsylvania; acceptance and rapid progress with the firm, the Frick tax case resulting in a full partnership for him.
Maynard's war record started with the ist Cavalry, N. G. of N. Y.; commissioned ist lieutenant, February, 1917; then captain of artillery, serving at Fort Niagara, Camp Meade, Fort Sill, and finally nine months in France with 311 th Field Artillery, 79th Division. An interesting incident during his foreign service in France is connected with his eyes. For a long period of years, even prior to his college days, he had worn rather strong glasses for nearsightedness. They got smashed one day in France, and being unable to get replacements quickly, he determined to conceal his disability and get along without them. From that day on, and up to his death as far as we know, he never wore glasses again, normal sight having returned to him.
To Maynard and Margaret Bevan Teall were born Anne Maynard and Maynard Jr., who with their mother survive. Maynard was a member of American Bar Association; American Academy of Political and Social Science; University Club, Pittsburgh; Longue Vue Club; Roch Hunt Club. In college he belonged to Gamma Delta Epsilon and Casque and Gauntlet. May Teall had an unusually mature attitude during his college course. He seemed to discern clearly what he wanted out of college and in after life, and with a fine sense of values drove unswervingly to his objectives. He had the capacity for making most intimate and loyal friendships with men whose friendships he desired. He was serious and studious. He worked for what he got, becoming an excellent lawyer, thorough, careful, intelligent, knowing the strength and weaknesses of cases involving confused and intricate details. Even though his progress had been far, he still had much ahead of him. His decease in mid-life comes as a shock to his host of friends—but the memories he leaves are such that nothing can efface them. It was a privilege to know Maynard Teall well.

Quiet and unassuming, upright in character, honest in his dealings, faithful to every trust, a devoted husband, father, son, and brother, he leaves hosts of friends to mourn his loss.

BEN VENUTO BORELLA, general assistant treasurer of General Motors Corporation, died very suddenly of a heart attack at his office in New York City on the morning of June 22. While Ben had suffered from this trouble at times previously, he was apparently in good health at the above time.
Ben was born in Plymouth, N. H., June 23, 1891, the son of Gaspere and Gindita (Moruzzi) Borella. He entered Dartmouth with the class of 1914, transferred to M. I. T., then back to Dartmouth, graduating with the class of 1915 as a Rufus Choate scholar and with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Soon after graduation he joined the Vermont National Guard, served on the Mexican border with the regiment, and during the World War was with the 57th Infantry.
Discharged with the rank of Captain, he located in Newport, Vt., where he became associated with his father as buyer and treasurer of the concern, fruit and grocery stores being their line. Later Ben studied law and became associated with Hubert Pierce (Dartmouth 1911) in such study. In 1923 he joined the financial staff in the general offices of General Motors, and six years later became assistant treasurer. January 13, 1936, he was appointed general assistant treasurer.

AUSTIN SAMUEL BOUTIN died suddenly on July 21, 1936, in Los Angeles from heat exhaustion and a heart attack. In recent years, he had been employed by motion picture companies, often working in small parts.
Bill entered Dartmouth in the fail of 1912, played center on the freshman football team, and stayed a year and a half with the class of 1916. He came from Colby College, where he had spent part of a year. Before that, he had attended Governor Dummer, Dean, and Cushing Academies. When Bill left Dartmouth, he entered Syracuse, where he starred on the football team-as Dartmouth well remembers, when we played them in Springfield in the fall of 1915. He served in the army during the World War and was a member of the American Legion. He is survived by five brothers and three sisters.
Bill was much older than most of us as freshmen (Bill was born October 16, 1887) and I can recall the pep talks he gave us when things weren't going according to Hoyle. What witness of the Mayor's election in Hanover, March 1, 1913, will ever forget "Rufus Choate" Boutin's scholarly address, enriched with Latin, Greek, and other phrases, as clad in cap and gown, he exhorted his constituents to vote for beer?
Bill had a sunny disposition, was eventempered, a philosopher and a plugger. I remember Bill saying he was going to stick to college until he got his degree—if it took ten years—and he did.

"Charlie" Hall
CHARLES HALL (Charlie) died June 13, 1936 at his home in Hanover, at the age of 84 years. He had been a resident of Hanover 67 years, an employee of Dartmouth College for 47 years. He was born in Upton, Canada, January 12, 1852. At the age of 17 he came into this vicinity and married Lenora Leware of Norwich, Vt. To this marriage were born five daughters: Lizzie Bond, Norwich; Anna Bond, Hanover; Emma Hall and Irene Preston, deceased; Mamie Hutchins, Norwich, Vt. Other near relatives that survive are two sisters and two brothers.
Charlie Hall, affectionately known to hundreds of Dartmouth men and fellow townsmen, was an institution in himself. Devotion to duty and loyalty to a tradition of responsibility was his ideal of living. Dean of the caretakers, Rollins Chapel and Webster Hall were the buildings under his charge and watchful eye. That the bell should be rung at Chapel with proper count and sequence, appropriate to every occasion was a matter of concern to him. Serving under four Presidents of the College he counted them all his personal friends. His knowledge of life in the College during the past fifty years was an intimate experience of daily living. As such, his life has become a part of an institution ever growing into the lives of people. His monument is in the College itself.
The funeral was held at St. Dennis Catholic Church, Tuesday morning, June 16. Father John T. Sliney conducted the service. The bearers were four grandsons, Charles Bond, Carlton Bond, Russell Hutchins and Everett Preston. Burial was in the Norwich cemetery.
