He would have been 48 years old on the following day, having been born in Syracuse, N. Y., on June 18, 1894, the son of Theresa (Lyons) and the late William N. Tobin.
Hal's life was one of service all the way, with a sense of responsibility to his friends and fellow men which was never lost sight of. He served his country to an unusual degree. He served the institution which he loved best, to the end. And he helped many a man to prepare himself for life beyond Hanover. Truly his life must be an inspiration to his many friends. He accomplished so much, and as one looks back on it, in so short a time.
Hal prepared for Dartmouth in Syracuse schools and at Phillips Exeter Academy. After graduation from Dartmouth, he enlisted in the U. S. Navy at Boston, and served with the rank of yeoman 1st class. For seven months he was on board the U. S. S. George Washington while that ship was used as a transport. After his discharge in October 1918, he worked for the Steiger Stores, Springfield, Mass., and vicinity, until early in 1952, when he gave up his position as merchandise manager, because of a recurrence of the influenza and pleurisy which had originally troubled him in the Navy. That was the beginning of a fight for health which extended over the next five years.
Thereafter, his progress was unusuallyrapid. He received an advanced degree in social science from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland in 1929, and for the followingyear was assistant professor of political science at Louisiana State University. Further graduate study at Columbia followed, and he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy there in 1933.
He returned to Dartmouth that year for his brief but distinguished teaching career, as a member of the political science faculty, became a full professor in 1937, and during the past two years was head of the department. He was an authority on international relations and civilian mobilization, and in 1940, with Percy W. Bidwell of the Council on Foreign Relations, was author of the volume, "Mobilizing Civilian America." He was chairman of the American Defense Dartmouth group, directing college war activities until forced to resign because of ill health.
Hal was a member of the American Committee of the League of Nations Association in Geneva. He was a lecturer for the Foreign Policy Association, and also wrote numerous articles on international relations for the association and for other publications. He twice received Carnegie fellowships in international law, and from Columbia University he received a Cutting fellowship for first-hand study of the League of Nations in Geneva.
He was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Foreign Policy Association, the American Society of International Law, the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Relations, and of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
He is survived by his wife, the former Margarent C. Gilfillan of Paterson, N. J., whom he married in June, 1936; a son, William Kilborne Stewart Tobin; two brothers, Gregory J. Tobin (1920) of Boston and Donald J. Tobin (1922) of Hartford, Conn., and by three sisters, Mrs. Stanley H. Wright of Raleigh, N. C., Mrs. Martin W. Lautz of Bethlehem, Pa., and Mrs. John Lautz of Scarsdale, N. Y.

1918
JEFFERSOIN DAVIS ROBINSON JR., Toledo civil leader, better known by Dartmouth College and '18ers as "Jeff," died April 5 in the Toledo, Ohio, Hospital, after an illness of five months.

When the Owens-Illinois Glass Company took over this firm, the brothers established the Burkay Company, of which he became president. This company are specialists in machine work.
Active in many civic affairs, Jeff devoted himself principally to the welfare of the city's boys. Like his father, he was looked upon by hundreds of Toledo youths as a friend and benefactor. Jeff was president of the Toledo Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, and vice president of the Boys' Club of Toledo, formerly the Toledo Newsboys' Association. His father was one of the founders of the boys' group, and Jeff and his brother, Joseph W., both associated themselves closely with the work. Jeff and his brother did much to bring national recognition to the vocational guid- ance work of the Boys' Club. They established an annual vocational award in memory of their father to furnish encouragement to members of vocational classes
Jeff was a member of the Toledo Club, the Toledo Country Club, the Inverness Club, and Sanford Collins Masonic Lodge. He attended Collingwood Presbyterian church. In 1938 he was chairman of the Toledo Community Chest campaign.
Jeff was ever a loyal Dartmouth man, and 1918 is proud of his record and sad to lose one of its number.
