In Memoriam
1876
JOHN ALBERTO WORTHEN died at his home in Oakland, Calif., July 8, 1945, after an illness of more than a year.
He was born in Thetford, Vt., January 15, 1852, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Chase) Worthen. Professor T. W. D. Worthen '72 was a brother. He fitted for the Chandler Scientific Department at Thetford Academy, entering the class at the beginning of its second year. He was a member of the Vitruvian fraternity (now Beta Theta Pi).
He graduated from the Thayer School in 1877, and had been for some time its oldest living graduate. After graduation he was for a time a construction engineer with the Boston & Maine R. R., and then was city engineer of Denver, Colo. In 1880-1 he was back at the Thayer School as an instructor. In 1881-3 he was assistant United States engineer at Cape Girardeau, Mo.; in 1884-5 division engineer with the Union Pacific Railway, Colorado Division; in 1886-7 construction engineer with the Missouri Pacific R. R. in Nebraska.
He went to California as chief engineer for the South San Francisco Land and Improvement Co., 1891-3; was chief engineer for the Covina Water and Irrigation Co., 1895-6; assistant engineer for the Pacific Electric Railway, Los Angeles, 1897; construction engineer for the Santa Fe R. R. at Randsburg, Calif., 1898; engineer for the Arroyo Ditch and Water Cos., 1899 to 1911. He then engaged in private practice until his retirement in 1916.
January 15, 1887, he was married to Susie S., daughter of John Adams and Lucy (Crafts) Worthen of Piermont, N. H., who died August 19, 1938. He is survived by a son, Mark A., of Los Angeles; a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson of Oakland, Calif., with whom he made his home; and a granddaughter, Mrs. Suzanne Thompson Folden of Los Angeles.
Though blind for more than ten years and with the restrictions imposed by a failing heart, he kept well posted on events and varied opinions by means of the radio, and maintained the mental vigor and alertness which carried him through his early years on the plains.
1888
HORATIO EUGENE ALLARD died after a long illness at his home on Hemenway St., Boston, March 5, 1946.
He was born in Wheelock, Vt., Oct. 2, 1863, the son of Horatio Plum and Harriet (Foster) Allard. We have no record of his early life nor where he prepared for college, but learn that he was "on his own" at the age of twelve, and that he attended schools in Lowell, Mass., for a time. He entered Dartmouth with the class of 'BB in what then was the Chandler Scientific Department, and was a member during freshman year.
After leaving college he took up electrical work and eventually became an electrical contractor in Boston for many years.
In college he will be remembered as a friendly classmate and good student. Even then his hearing was slightly impaired, and this increased over the years until he became totally deaf. In 1934 he was struck by an automobile, suffered a leg fracture, and was in the hospital for several months. This left him a partial invalid.
September 30, 1917, he was married in Boston to Miss Caroline Butterfield. He attended the Christian Science church. His wife and three nephews survive him. The late Frank E. Allard 'B5 was a brother.
Funeral services were held Mar. 7 at the Graham Funeral Home in Boston and cremation followed. Later the ashes will be buried in the Avery lot in the Hanover, N. H., cemetery.
BERTON WILLIAMS, born in Mendon, Mass., July 21, 1864, died in Ayer, Mass., February 11, 1946, following a cerebral hemorrhage on the previous day.
He was the son of Gustavus B. Williams, Dartmouth '58, and Bernette (Hill) Williams, parents who sent three sons to Dartmouth. Berton attended the Mendon schools and fitted at Wilbraham Academy. His father allowed his sons to select their own college, and was greatly pleased when all chose Dartmouth with no influence on his part. So Berton entered in the fall of 1884 with his brother Wendell, and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank.
Electricity was just coming into its own, and for many years it was his main interest. He developed into one of the early electrical engineers. His first employment was with the Bangor Electric Co. after taking the educational and training course provided at the Thompson-Houston Electric Co. in Lynn, Mass. Afterwards for a time he was with the Milford and Hopedale Street Railway, before going to the Woonsocket Light & Power Co., where he was advanced in the service until he retired as Assistant Superintendent. He then went to Ayer, Mass., and engaged in mercantile business. While he never was actively engaged in politics nor sought public office, after disposing of his store he was appointed postmaster at Ayer, and the fact that he was appointed and reappointed for fourteen years with no effort on his part, shows the esteem in which he was held by the community.
He was a member of the Ayer Episcopal church, a vestryman for years and its senior warden for 20 years. "Williams I," as called in classroom, was not of an aggressive nature even in student days, but faithful in each day's work. He was most dependable, a characteristic of all his mature life, and firm in what he believed was right.
He married Caroline Mason o£ Woonsocket, R. X., January 17, 1899, who survives him, as does their son, Mason P. Williams and one granddaughter at Port Jervis, N. Y. He also leaves three sisters and his brother and classmate, Wendell Williams o£ Milford, Mass.
1890
MAURICE HENRY ROBINSON died at Winter Park, Florida, on February 28, 1946, of a heart attack. The funeral, held March 2 in All Saints' Episcopal church was attended by a large number of those who knew and loved him, including a group of Dartmouth men.
He was born in Meredith, N. H., and after graduating from New Hampton Literary Institution he learned the printer's trade and taught school before entering Dartmouth. He graduated from the College in 1890 with the degree of Litt.B.; was Principal of the Wahpeton (N. D.) High School, 1890-92; Superintendent of Schools, Madelia, Minn., 1892-96; did graduate work at Dartmouth, 1896-98, receiving .the degree of A.M. in 1897 with a thesis on "A History of Taxation in New Hampshire," which was published in 1903; and was an Assistant in Political Science at Dartmouth in 1897-98.
For four years he was at Yale, as University Fellow (1898-99), Assistant in Political Economy (1899-1900), Instructor in Political Economy (1900-02), and received the Ph.D. degree in 1902 with a thesis on "The Consolidation of Industry in the United States." For thirtyone years he served on the faculty of the University of Illinois, first as Professor of Industry and Transportation (1902-21), then as Professor of Economics (1921-33), becoming Professor Emeritus in 1933. He served as a Visiting Lecturer on Economics in summer sessions of Cornell, Columbia, the University of California, and the University of Texas.
After his retirement in 1933 he lived alternately at Pine Orchard, Cotin., and Winter Park, Fla., where he was a member of the University Club. He spent two recent summers in Hanover.
In 1890 he married Elinor Corse of West Dover, Vt., who survives him. He also leaves two grandchildren, children of his only daughter Florence (now deceased) and Dr. Frank Asper, organist of the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.
He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Beta Gamma Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi, and the American Economic Association, and was a charter member of the American Political Science Association. In 1903 he served as special expert agent of the United States Census Bureau on the valuation of railways, and in 1914-15 as expert on the supervision of corporations and insurance companies for a committee of the Illinois General Assembly. He was director of a number of insurance companies.
Professor Robinson was the author of several books on business organization and about fifty published articles, a bibliography of which was published in 1941 by his brother, George W. Robinson '96. He was one of the authors of the American Securities Service Manuals and of the LaSalle Extension University books on business management. A volume of collected essays on economic subjects still awaits publication. His writings are characterized by high scholarly standards.
As an undergraduate Maurice Robinson was mature beyond his years and universally wellliked. His interests even then centered on public affairs and economics. His breadth of vision and dependable judgment were recognized by his classmates and associates, especially by Professor James F. Colby '72, whose assistant he became in 1897-98. He attended class reunions regularly, and with his broadening experience as teacher and administrator he became more and more a delightful, openminded companion. About him there was never a trace of cynicism or careless frivolity. He was happy, hopeful, and unselfish, a charming friend. He was loved and respected by all those who came to know him, and will be mourned by a wide circle of associates and friends.
1893
PROF. PERLEY OAKLAND PLACE died February 10, 1946, at the Syracuse, N. Y., Memorial Hospital, of uremia, after a very short illness.
He was born in Oakland, Calif., November 25, 1872, and fitted for college at Berwick, Me., Academy.
He was the son of James Albert and Mary Jane (Converse) Place. When he was two years old the family returned to New England and settled in Berwick, Me., on Echo Farm, where Dr. Place's boyhood was spent.
He entered Dartmouth College in the fall of 1889 with the Class of 1893. From the beginning he was outstanding as a student, receiving special honors in Greek, and was active in extra-curricular affairs. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi fraternity, wrote the Class Day Chronicles at Commencement and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts at graduation.
He took graduate work at Harvard and was awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1894 and in 1896 he received a Masters Degree from Dartmouth.
From 1894 to 1897 he taught Greek and Latin at Little Rock Academy, Little Rock, Arkansas, returning to Harvard during 1897 and 1898 for further graduate work. From 1898 to 1900 he was Classical Master of the Brookline, Mass., High School, going from there in 1901 to Syracuse, N. Y., University, as instructor in Latin where he remained until his retirement January 1, 1945. He began at Syracuse as Instructor of Latin and upon re- tirement was made Professor Emeritus.
His success in teaching has been outstanding and his text books and other writings have received acclaim throughout the country. While at Syracuse he was honored with L.L.D. degrees from Colgate University in 1912, and from Dartmouth College in 1934.
He was married July 12, 1899, to Harriet E. Stanton of Jamaica Plain, Mass., who survives him. There have been no children.
The above cold facts regarding Dr. Place's life do not at all indicate the place in the hearts of his associates and students which he occupied at Syracuse. For many years past and each year he acted as Marshall at Commencement. He was the founder of the Cosmopolitan Club which brought the foreign students together in one group. He belonged to many societies, local and national, and among them were the American Philological Association, Archeological Institute of America, Massachusetts Sons of American Revolution, and Masonic groups. He was President of New York Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and President of the New York State Classical Teachers Association.
He was a registered Republican, but an independent in thought and action. He was deeply conscious of religious spirituality and was a member of the University Methodist church of Syracuse.
He is survived, in addition to Mrs. Place, by a brother, J. Converse Place of Hingham, Mass.; a niece—Miss Margot Converse Place of New York City and three nephews—Russell P., Richard L. and Vincent C. Place.
A private service was conducted at the VanDusen Funeral Rooms, February 11, conducted by Dr. Dwight M. Beck of Syracuse University, and Memorial Services at the University will be held later. His last resting place is in Morningside Cemetery, Syracuse.
Among the very many tributes in newspapers and letters, the following have been selected as representative—From the SyracuseHerald and Journal— (in part):
Dr. Place believed with Seneca that, "A good mind possesses a kingdom." And because he spread this gospel with such inspirational charm through the years he might have said truly with Horace:
"I shall not wholly die. What's best of me shall 'scape the tomb."
Certainly he will long be remembered at Syracuse University. As marshal at the head of academic processions and from time to time as an official at Phi Beta Kappa initiations he was a picture of dignity which graced each such occasion. As teacher, scholar, friend of truth, he left an impress that will outlast the years.
And from former students:
"I shall always feel that Dr. Place taught me much more than four years of college Latin. He taught me principles by which to shape my daily life, and was himself a shining example of their worth. Catullus can speak best for me—'Ave, frater. atque vale.' Hail and farewell. None can ever take his place." "His was one of the finest natures with which I ever came in contact. He was a gentleman by both training and instinct, and the world is better for his having lived in it." "The world needs more men like him and it is a better place because of him."
1894
In sending in some autobiographical material that had been requested, HERBERT WILSON once said: "I cannot see how much of the data can be of interest to anyone but me, when I contrast my life experience with that of most of my classmates." As a matter of fact, Wilson stands in the front rank of our men who have made a worthwhile contribution to their day and generation. Of the sixteen '94 men who were lawyers, three became judges, and Wilson was one of them. For thirty-two years he was judge of the City Court of Fulton, New York. This is an elective office, but as an old neighbor (Morton '28) has written, "There never was any question of another candidate as long as H. J. was willing to continue in this post. There could be no greater tribute to a person's tolerance, integrity, and loyalty than the endorsement by those citizens with whom he lived for forty-eight years." A fellow judge also said, "He was thorough, patient, fair, tolerant, and honest."
This was not all his contribution to Fulton In addition to his judgeship he was able to practice law and become an outstanding member of the Oswego County bar. He was attorney for the Fulton Savings Bank, member of the Rotary Club, the Masons, and Odd Fellows. He served as chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board. He was a member and active worker in the First Methodist church and several of the church organizations.
Wilson was a New Yorker from the beginning of his life, having been born in Constable March 18, 1871, the son of Robert C. and Sylvia (Hastings) Wilson. He received his preparatory education at the Franklin Academy of Malone, whose principal, McClary '76, steered him to Dartmouth. After college he went to the Albany Law School, and graduated at the head of his class. He married July 6, 1899, the former Veda Lyon of Malone. All his professional life was spent in Fulton, with the exception of seven years when he returned home to Constable.
In college he belonged to what, during the first three years of the course, was known as the Chandler School, which was integrated into the College our senior year. For this reason Wilson was not so well known to the class as a whole in college, as was subsequently the case. He was a Sigma Chi in college and obtained Phi Beta Kappa rank.
His best known achievement as a member of the class was the editing of the Class Report of 1936-37. He established a record which has never been surpassed in our class and perhaps in any other class, in inducing every graduate member of the class but one to write for his report, and in securing a letter from the wife of every deceased member. This, however, was entirely characteristic of the man. He was thorough to the last degree, and his class loyalty was scarcely equaled. Says his friend, Morton: "After each reunion the ensuing months were spent looking forward to the next time he would meet with his classmate." We remember at what sacrifice, and perhaps danger to his health, he came to our 50th.
Mrs. Wilson died just before the 50th reunion, and he lost the incentive to fight for life. His death took place after a prolonged illness February 17, 1946. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Harvia H. Russell of Scarsdale, N. Y., and two granddaughters.
CHARLES C. MERRILL '94.
1897
SUMNER HORACE SARGENT died suddenly at his home in Newburyport, Mass., on March 1, 1946.
Born in Hartford, Vt., August 7, 1876, the son of Horace F. and Hannah (Waterman) Sargent, he graduated with the class of '97 at Dartmouth and then attended Bangor Theological Seminary for a year before transferring to the Hartford Theological Seminary from which he graduated in 1901. He was ordained the same vear.
After thirty vigorous years in the Congregational ministry with pastorates at Sharon, Vt., Turner, Patten, Thomaston, and Newcastle, all in Maine, and Swanzey and Raymond in New Hampshire, he went to Newburyport in 1933 and entered business. In 1943 he became associated with the Y.M.C.A., a position he enjoyed, as it brought him in contact with, as he used to say, all sorts and conditions of men.
Sumner held many church offices and was deacon and moderator of the Belleville church at the time of his death. He was always interested in civic affairs and education, and held various town offices in the different communities in which he lived. He was a 32d degree Mason, and was a member of Tucker Lodge No. 99, A. F. & A. M., Raymond, N. H.
May 8, 1902, Sumner married Nettie E. White of Burlington, Maine, who survives him. He is also survived by his son Theron W. Sargent of Lynn, Mass., and two grandchildren.
1909
EDWARD "CAP" KELLY died at the Virginia Mason Hospital, Seattle, Wash., on February 25, 1946. Cap suffered a paralytic stroke almost ten years ago, and had been in ill health ever since.
He was born in North Andover, Mass., March 1, 1886, the son of Edward Joseph and Sarah Ann (Flynn) Kelly, and attended Lawrence, Mass., High School before entering Dartmouth. At college he was captain of freshman baseball; captain sophomore football; vice-president sophomore class; member of the football squad; and was a member of Sigma Chi.
After being graduated from college he moved West, and received his law degree at the University of Montana in 1912. Enlisting in World War I he rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant, and after his discharge he moved to Seattle, Wash., where he established his law practice.
Cap was always prominent in local affairs, and at one time was president of the Rocky Mountain Alumni Association and was Director of Labor and Industry. He was active in Democratic affairs, and he helped organize the Washington Men's Democratic Club.
June 1, 1917, he was married to Cora H. Veasey, who survives him, with a daughter, Patricia Ann, who are living at 2400 42d Ave. North. He is also survived by three brothers, Joseph and A. J. Kelly (Dartmouth 1916), Boston, and Frank A. Kelly, Cloquet, Minn.
Cap was one of those fellows who knew everyone. He always accepted his share of responsibilities and was one who could always be depended upon; as Sam Barnes, class of '07, told me, "We all loved dear old Pat." This, I think, could be said by every member of the class of 'O9.
1910
ROGER BENT FARWELL was born in Natick, Mass., June 15, 1886, the son of Edwin and Mildred (Bent) Farwell. He was graduated from Newton High School and entered Dart- mouth with the class of 1910, not remaining to graduate.
On leaving college he entered his father's insurance business, and for many years was manager of E. Farwell & Son Insurance Co. He was a 32nd degree Mason, an Elk, a member of American Legion and the Norfolk Fish & Game Club, and a former member of the Rotary Club of Natick and the University Club of Boston. He also belonged to the Sandy Burr Country Club. During World War I he served in the Navy. He died at the Baker Memorial Hospital, Boston, on February 8, leaving his father, two brothers, and two sisters. Roge was a likable fellow, and made many friends during the time he spent at Hanover.
1913
FRANK HOLMES CUSHMAN died on February 28, 1946, after one day's illness. Frank was born on February 7, 1891, in Presque Isle, Maine, the son of Ida Holmes and W. W. Cushman.
He prepared for Dartmouth at Stevens High School in Claremont, N. H. Upon graduation with the class of 1913 he attended the Harvard Dental School from which he graduated two years later. He served with the first Harvard unit in France during World War I, returning to head the dental unit of the Boston City Base Hospital No. 7, which also served overseas.
At Dartmouth he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and played in the college orchestra. On May 18, 1917 he married Ida May Buckley of Exeter, N. H. Gordon Harold was born on January 14, 1920, and Barbara was born on January 28, 1922.
Frank had been chairman of the department of operative medicine at Harvard and for 28 years a member of the Harvard Dental School Faculty, and also engaged in private practice in the Back Bay. He was a fellow and a past president of the American Academy of Dental Science a fellow of the American College of Dentists and a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon fraternity. He also held membership in the Massachusetts Dental Society, the American Dental Association and the International Association of Dental Research. He contributed to dental publications and to books on dental education. At the time of his death he was Professor Emeritus of Operative Dentistry at Harvard.
He leaves his wife, Mrs. Ida B. Cushman of Needham; a daughter Barbara, Mrs. Arnold Mackintosh, Jr., of Needham; a son Gordon H. Cushman of Utica, N. Y., and a sister Miss May E. Cushman of Bangor. Services were held at the Evangelical Congregational Church, Needham, on Sunday, March 3 and internment was at Exeter, N. H.
Frank's death comes as a great shock and he will be keenly missed by the class, the College and his friends everywhere.
HAROLD BRADFORD ENRIGHT died on March 2, 1946, at the Cambridge Hospital following a short illness.
Jake, as he was affectionately known by all his classmates and college friends, was born on April 28, 1890, in Washington, Maine, the son of Minnie Sprague and John W. Enright. He prepared for Dartmouth at the Medford High School, Medford, Mass. At Dartmouth he was on Harry Hillman's first Freshman Track Team and three years on the Varsity. He held the record in the high jump at Dartmouth and was a member of the American Olympic Team at Stockholm during the summer following his junior year. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.
His first wife, Grace Kimball, sister of Gren W. Kimball 'l3, died on December 26, 1918 Their daughter, born on December 31, 1915 Elisabeth Enright, is now a school teacher in Belmont, where the Enrights made their home at 55 Watson Road. Jake married Miss Flora R. Robitaille on December 27, 1927.
He was sales manager and then general manager for Sherwin-Williams Co., paints, in Boston, until he went to New York with Wadsworth Howland Co. He was a past high priest of the Royal Arch chapter of the Masonic Order in Medford, and for two years was president of the Paint and Oil Club of Boston.

He is survived by his wife, Flora R. Enright, his daughter and his father John W. Enright of Winchester. Funeral services were held March 5 at the Joseph J. Kelly Funeral Home in Cambridge, and burial was in Oak Grove Cemetery, Medford.
The class and the college have been hit hard by this loss, following so soon the passing of Frank Cushman.
1917
WALTER GOODWIN FERGUSON died late on February 2, 1946, at Faulkner Hospital, Boston, following a serious operation. Although he had not been in the best of health for some time, there had been real hope that he would be restored to his former ability to enjoy his family, his work, and his many friends.
Walter was born in Roxbury, Mass., on September 19, 1894 the son of James Goodwin and Laura (Tebbetts) Ferguson. He attended Roxbury Latin and De Meritte Schools in preparation for Dartmouth. In Hanover he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and was well known and respected by his wide circle of friends, which he has maintained ever since.
After graduation, he volunteered, on December 12, 1917, in the United States Naval Reserve, Boston, as Chief Yeoman in the Supply Department, and was commissioned August 1, 1918. Stationed at the Boston Navy Yard, Charlestown, Mass., the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklyn, N. Y., his major service was rendered in his assignment to the Fleet Supply Base at Brooklyn Navy Yard. He was relieved from active service at Brooklyn on February 3, 1919, with the rank of Ensign.
After his service in the Navy, Walter entered the general banking and brokerage business, and on June 1, 1930, became associated with Jackson and Curtis, where he remained until 1937. In 1927, with his brother, Warren T. Ferguson, the business of Anderson Manufacturing Co. was purchased, and Walter became director and treasurer. This company was the pioneer manufacturer of covers for automobile springs. In 1937 Anderson Manufacturing Company sold its name and the spring cover business, but retained its specialty lines. At that time a new company was formed, Anderson Products, Inc., and Walter became active director and treasurer, retiring from the brokerage business. He was engaged in this business at the time of his death. On November 22, 1927, he became a trustee of the jrast Cambridge Savings Bank and has been especially interested in its afEairs ever since.
His marriage to Grace Lawrence Brown took place September 27, 1920, in All Saints Episcopal church, Brookline, Mass., Laura was born September 7, 1923, and Walter Goodwin, jr., was born March 11, 1929. They and their mother survive him, as do Walter's mother, his sister, and his brother. To them we extend our sincerest sympathy in their loss, which we also share.
Walter was always an active Mason. He was Past Master of Washington Lodge, A. F. and A. M., a member of Mount Vernon Royal Arch Chapter, Roxbury Council, Joseph Warren Commandery, K. T„ the Aleppo Temple of the Shrine, and the Scottish Rite Bodies. He served for a period of years on the board of directors and later was chairman of the board of the Roxbury Masonic Brotherhood.

He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. He lived successively in Dedham, Brookline, and Auburndale during his married life, and in later years maintained a summer home at Rindge, N. H., which gave him and his family much pleasure.
Services held February 5", at Waterman Chapel were attended by the following of Walter's classmates: Howard Bartlett, Houghton Carr, Walter Carr, George Currier, Bunny Holden, Spique Maclntyre, Sam MacKillon, Pete Olds, Howie Stockwell, and Roger Stone. Interment was in the Ferguson family lot at Newton Cemetery.

He will be missed at class meetings at the Dartmouth Club and at other class gatherings. 1937
URI ALEXANDER MUNRO has been declared as presumed dead by the Navy Department, after being carried as missing since January 22, 1945. For a time, after the finish of the war in the Pacific, we had hope that somehow, somewhere he would turn up safely, but it was not to be.
He was attached to Night Torpedo Squadron 90 on the Enterprise as radar navigator officer on the squadron commander's plane, and they failed to return from a night attack on Kirum in Northern Formosa. Very heavy anti-aircraft fire was encountered, and three out of nine planes were lost. He held the Navy air medal and citation.
He was the only child of Alexander Finlay and Barbara (Gansin) Munro of Greenwich, Conn., and was born in Petrograd, Russia, March 81, 1916, coming to the United States in 1917 during the revolution in Russia. He was graduated with honors at Trinity School in New York before coming to Dartmouth. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa, and took honors work in chemistry.
He worked some time with the DuPont Company, in Chicago, leaving them to go with the Frey-Yankin Paint Co. in Columbus, where he was assistant plant superintendent at the time he joined the Navy.
He was married February 8, 1941, to Elizabeth Dorcas Magnuson o£ Columbus, Ohio, who survives him with a four-year-old son, Alexander Finlay. His parents also survive him.
We have lost a brilliant and able classmate.
1943
LT. JOHN FREDERICK BUSHNELL, formerly listed by the War Department as missing in action, has now been definitely classed as killed in action.

LT. (JG) STANLEY BARRETT SANDBERG was killed in action October 25, 1944, off Samar Island in the Philippines. Up until this time he has been carried by the War Department as "missing in action."
Stanley was born in New York July 27, 1921, the son of Harry Otis (Dartmouth 1910) and Blanche (Lepidus) Sandberg. He attended the Horace Mann School and came to Dartmouth in the fall of 1939. He was manager of the fencing team and on the business board of The Dartmouth. He was active in the initiation of the Dartmouth Broadcasting Station, acting as the commercial program director. In his senior year he won second prize in the Eleanor Frost original one-act play contest of the Experimental Theater.
Graduating in December, 1942, he enlisted in the Navy and went to Midshipman School at Notre Dame, being commissioned an Ensign in April of 1943. At the time of his death he was serving aboard the USS Johnston. From what reports we have we know that his destroyer, together with a half dozen others, was sent out in a calculated risk to stop the oncoming Ist Japanese Fleet. All American ships were sunk or badly damaged in the engagement. He is survived by his father and stepmother.
