NED DEARBORN died January 16 at the home of his son in Hampton, Va. He was born in Alton, N. H., November 24, 1865, the son of (osiah and Sara (Haines) Dearborn. He prepared for college at Gilmanton Academy and entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1889, in the Chandler Scientific Department. At Commencement, 1886, he was awarded the C.S.D. first prize in botany. He was a member of Phi Zeta Mu Society. Early in senior year he was obliged to leave college because of impaired eyesight, but he returned to graduate with the Class of 1891.

Brought up oil a New Hampshire farm, he had made a hobby of the study of birds, insects and plants. After working for four years for the Lord Bros. Optical Co. of Tilton, N. H., he decided to make his hobby his life work. He received the degree of M.S. from N. H. State College in 1898 and the degree of Sc.D. in 1901.

From 1901 to 1909 he was assistant curator of birds at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. While there his two expeditions to Guatemala and Venezuela added more than 22OO bird skins to the Museum collection. From 1909 to 1920 he was employed by the U. S. Biological Survey, a unit of the Department of Agriculture. This work took him to every state in the Union, experimenting in methods for exterminating noxious rodents destructive of seeds planted in reforestation projects, and also working on a new branch of husbandry, fur farming.

In 1920 he left the government service and took up residence at Sacket Harbor, N. Y. There he became the operative head of a 1400- acre farm devoted to breeding silver foxes and raising livestock, known as the Dearborn Fur Farm. He remained there until 1928 when he went to the University of Michigan to investigate the fur bearers of that state. That fall he was made an assistant professor in the School of Forestry of the University, where he conducted classes in biology and general forest zoology. He retired in 1932.

He chose for his retirement the town of Hilton Village, Va., on the James River. There in his happy retirement he became acquainted with the fauna and flora of the countryside. There, also, with the aid of instruments, he made single and serial sectional outlines, drawn to scale, of more than 470 different kinds of hair specimens from all mammalian families on the globe. In 1945 he presented to the Dartmouth College Library a book of personal reminiscences entitled Accretions of aMinor Naturalist, a typed manuscript of 250 pages and 34 pages of photographs. This is now being published serially in the Bulletin of the Audubon Society of N. H. He belonged to many societies and had published numerous articles.

The rare spirit of this unique and colorful personality is revealed in his many letters published in class reports. He seldom missed a class reunion and he appeared in Hanover regularly every June to join the '85 men there.

June 13, 1894 Ned married H. Josephine Hill of Northfield, N. H., who died in 1943. He is survived by his daughter Helen, Mrs. Samuel P. Mills, a graduate of Teachers College, Columbia, now living in Littleton, N. 'H., and by his son Clinton H.

1918

His many friends in the Class of 1918 in Dartmouth College, and wherever he went, will be saddened indeed to know that SWIFTIE BARNES died on January 22. He had been ill for five weeks but appeared to be recovering when he died suddenly from embolism.

After leaving college Swiftie went to the Mexican Border where he was a Lieutenant in the Signal Corps. From 1919 to 1927 he was sales manager for Walden Worsted, Inc. He then went into the life insurance business where he did an extraordinary job, first with the Mutual Benefit and then as general agent for the Union Central. His inspiring leadership and the warmth of his fine personality left its mark on all with whom he came in contact.

September 29, 1916 Swiftie was married to Georgianna Middleton, "Georgia" as Swiftie called her. He had a great and abiding sense of happiness and pride in his fine family of Swift Jr. '42 (Lt. USNR for three years), Wallace '45 (Lt. 84th Div. 1st Army) and Virginia, Colby Junior College '44.

A delightful letter from Georgie to the class reads in part "Of the many flowers at the funeral I remember most those from the Class of 1918. I know they would have meant the most to Swiftie. So many times he had wanted to take a more active part in the class and renew old friendships but had not the strength to do so."

Although many in the class had not seen much of Swiftie in recent years, the bond of affection which tied him to us was immense and deep indeed is the grief in his passing, but Swiftie, like those who have gone ahead, will ever remain in the memory of his classmates.

1940

HENRY HERBERT HOFMEISTER died in Tucson, Ariz., January 13 after a long illness. Even during his Hanover days, Hof's health had been impaired by a heart ailment resulting from an attack of rheumatic fever in his early teens. Services were conducted at Campbell's Funeral Home in New York and at Ferncliff Cemetery, Westchester, on January 19. Surviving are his parents, his wife Marianne and an infant son, Eric John.

Before coming to Dartmouth, Hof attended Worcester Academy. He and I shared a room in the Phi Sigma Kappa house our last two years. Hof had a keen interest in people and his circle of acquaintances in Hanover was larger than most. He majored in International Relations.

During the summers while he was in college, Hof traveled extensively, in England, France, Spain and Russia, bumming about the countryside learning what he could about the people. He was vitally interested in political and historical tempers and trends, and had an amazing capacity for absorbing and expressing the feeling of those he met.

After Commencement Hof was rejected for military duty because of his heart condition. He joined the staff of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, working in Washington and New York. He remained in the radio news bureau of this organization after it was absorbed by the State Department and had progressed to an executive position when poor health forced him to resign in 1946. As a sideline, he did radio advertising copy for firms which, sought him out for his wide knowledge of South America. He also wrote articles and fiction, one of his first stories being published in Esquire.

Hof married the former Marianne Holtz of Milwaukee early in 1945 and their son was born while they were spending the summer of 1946 in New Hampshire. Hof always had a special fondness for country living and particularly for New Hampshire.

Above all else, Hof had courage. For years he had faced an uncertain future, yet made the most of each day and prepared for days he could never be certain would arrive. He coped with his illness alone, never seeking sympathy. This kind of courage is both rare and wonderful, demanding a strength of character that few possess. His courage never failed him, even during the trying days as the end approached.

Those of us who knew Hot well still cannot believe that this great strength of purpose and perseverance that kept him going so long finally has failed him. His personality was so dominant that we all will have vivid and lasting impressions of him throughout the years. I hope that these inadequate phrases convey something of the sorrow, something of the high estimate that his friends have felt at this unhappy time.
