Faculty Deaths

Two important members of the Dartmouth faculty were lost this past summer in the deaths of Prof. Ralph D. Beetle 'O6 and Prof. Frank E. Brown. Professor Beetle, who had been a member of the mathematics department since 1907, died of a heart attack on July 9 at Camp Neshobe, Lake Fairlee, Vt. (See Necrology.)

Professor Brown, who had been a member of the public speaking department at Dartmouth since 1921, died suddenly of a heart attack at Stowe, Vt., on August 11. He was 63 years old. Before coming to Dartmouth as an assistant professor he had taught at Drake University, where he was professor of public speaking, and at South Dakota State College, where he held the same position. He had also taught in the public schools of Illinois, his native state, and had been instructor in English at Mercersburg Academy from 1903 to 1905. Professor Brown was graduated from Knox College in 1902 and in 1908 received his Master's degree there. He was summer manager of the Mt. Mansfield Trout Club, in Stowe, Vt., where his sudden death occurred. Funeral services were held in Hanover on the afternoon of August 12. Professor Brown had no children and is survived by his wife, the former Leona C. Tobey, to whom he was married in 1905.
