In Memoriam

1878

Seldom can there be recorded the passing of an alumnus who, during the entire span of a long life, was so intimately and affectionately connected with Dartmouth College as was WILLIAM DWIGHT PARKINSON.

From the day of his birth—August 10, 1857, in Falmouth, Maine, the son of a Dartmouth graduate, Royal '43—to the day of his death in Waltham, Mass., April 10, Dartmouth seemed to have permeated his being. His two brothers Robert H. '70 and George B. '75 had preceded him, while the third brother, Joseph G. received an honorary degree in 1873. It was inevitable that the four sons should follow in the father's footsteps, and Royal 'O5, Dana 'OB, Taintor '09 and Herman O. '13 continued the Parkinson succession, later carried on by Dwight '3B.

Reminiscing about his childhood, Parkinson once said that his family were nomads, and he envied those with an old home to return to. As there was no high school in Washington, where his family then lived, part of his college preparation was received in Howard University, with a class of colored boys whom he respected and admired.

In college he roomed for three years with John Cotton Dana, and to this he ascribed some of the best results of his college career. The nickname "Little I Am" which he acquired, probably explained why he was an "also ran" in athletic contests. He graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank and as a member of Psi Upsilon.

After graduation he studied law and in 1881 received his LL.B diploma at National University, from the hand of President Garfield. Continuing his nomadic life he practised for a time in Boston and then moved west to Fergus Falls, Minn., where he hung out his shingle and dabbled, to his sorrow, in real estate.

Abandoning the law he turned to education, in which field he spent the remainder of his active career, with conspicuous success. He served, 1886-90, as Superintendent of Schools, Falmouth, Mass.; 1890-92, Grammar Master, Taunton, Mass.; 1893-98, Superintendent, Amherst, Mass.; 1898-1918, Superintendent, Waltham, Mass.; 1918-20, in charge of teacher training, Massachusetts Department of Education; 1920-22, Acting Principal, State Normal School, Fitchburg, Mass.; Principal, 1922 to his retirement in 1927. On his retirement he was the subject of many complimentary attentions, but "felt more concern with the landing than the send-offs."

Few alumni, with the exception of the late John M. Comstock '77, gave so freely of their time to college affairs. Mr. Parkinson was a member of the Alumni Council, 1918-24; since 1909 he had served his class as secretary, and his column in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE was read by alumni of all generations; 1912-13, and again 1927-28, he served as president of the Secretaries' Association and became known as the Grand Old Man of the association, attending meetings faithfully, even when such attendance taxed his physical strength and his impaired hearing. In 1934 he received the award for the best class secretary.

November 11, 1882, Mr. Parkinson was married to Caroline N. Bowman of Fergus Falls. He recorded her death in May, 1944 by the simple statement "Parkinson, head bending low, sings the refrain of Old Black Joe."

The tolerant philosophy and humorous understanding of Mr. Parkinson may best be illustrated by some of his descriptions of himself—'"A Republican, who scratches tickets freely"—"A Congregationalist, who still believes Jesus knew what he was talking about, but not so sure the ecclesiastics do"—"One who has never been just the kind of man others have taken him to be, or at any time quite the sort of man he was taking himself to be."

1881

When the parents of HERBERT BRUCE MCINTIRE gave him his middle name they quite unconsciously forecast an important fact in his life. This fact is that his class at Dartmouth College graduated exactly 100 years after the graduation of his great grandfather, John Bruce.

Born in Lyndeboro, N. H., the son of Nathaniel Taz and Elizabeth (Bruce) Mclntire, July 3, 1857, he died in Cambridge, Mass. on April 20. He fitted for college at Mont Vernon and was resident member of the Class of 1881 at Dartmouth for two years.

He then entered the Medical School of the University of New York and took a three-year course. It was on the basis of his work at the Medical School and his successful career afterward that in 1901 the Trustees of the College voted him an A.B.

Dr. Mclntire began the practice of medicine in Nashua, N. H., but soon moved to Cambridge, Mass., first in association with Dr. John L. Hildreth, and then by himself for a period of over sixty years. For twentyfive years of this period he specialized in the eye but continued general practice with the large number of his old patients who had come to have in him the confidence which his competence as a physician and his character as a man inspired. In an unusual degree he drew people to him. There was a special kindliness about him and a calm and unruffled manner which led them to feel that he was completely the master of a given situation.

For a period of about five years he had taken in his doctor's sign and closed up his office. He continued in excellent health until a month before his death. These years of retirement, well into his 91st year, were for his friends an illustration of the benign and successful way in which a man ought to round out his life on this earth.

He was married twice. First, to Mary Ida Woodward of Marlboro, N. H., June 27, 1883, in which town he spent a winter of teaching during his college years. One wonders how many Dartmouth men of that period found their wives in this way. Of this marriage there came one daughter Ruth, who is married to Dr. H. N. Dadourian, since 1923 Seabury Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in Trinity College. After the death of the first Mrs. Mclntire in 1922, Dr. Mclntire married Mrs. Sara E. Hersey, formerly of Denver, Colo., who survives him with his daughter.

Dr. Mclntire was a Theta Delta Chi. His membership in medical societies included the Massachusetts Medical Society and the American Medical Association.

Funeral services were held at his late home April 30, conducted by a long-time friend of the family, Rev. Charles C. Merrill '94.

iBgo

The death of CHARLES AUGUSTUS HARDY leaves nineteen survivors of the Class of 1890. He died at his home, 34 Gray St., Arlington, Mass. on March 30.

Funeral services were held in the First Unitarian Church, Arlington Center, with Rev. John Nicol Mark officiating, Walter W. Rowe and Alvin H. Bacon represented the class, and the classes of '89 and '91 were represented by their secretaries, Ralph S. Bartlett and Frank E. Rowe.

Charles was born in Cambridge, Mass., May 7, 1866, the son of Rodney J. and Sarah (Tenney) Hardy. The family home was in Arlington, where Charles spent his entire life. The Hardy School is built on the site of the old family homestead.

Entering college from Arlington High School, Charles became active in athletics, excelling in tennis and serving as president of the Tennis Association his senior year. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Casque and Gauntlet.

After graduation Charles was connected with the Mellins Food Cos. for twenty years, after which he entered the grain jobbing business of his two brothers. In 1921 he was elected treasurer of the Town of Arlington, which position he held until his retirement in 1942. In addition to his long and efficient service as town treasurer, he held many other positions of responsibility in his community. He served as trustee of funds of the First Parish Unitarian Church; secretary, vice-president and trustee of funds of the Arlington Historical Society; member of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and the Friends of the Drama; officer and active member of the Bay State Historical League.

October 2, 1901, Charles was married to Laura A. Davis, a Radcliffe graduate then teaching in the Arlington High School. The couple then assumed a prominent place in Arlington affairs. He is survived by his wife and by a son, Charles L. (Sykes) Hardy '27, who made football history at Dartmouth. Another son, Davis L., died at the age of thirteen.

Charles never missed a '90 reunion, and served his class for tweny-four years as secretary and class agent. Serving his class and alma mater long and loyally he was the very embodiment of the Dartmouth Spirit.

HENRY HOYT HILTON died at his home in North Tewksbury, Mass., on April 9, just one week short of his 80th birthday anniversary. He had been in precarious health for many months, and while the end came suddenly it was not entirely unexpected, in view of a critical heart condition.

His connection with Dartmouth College had been long, intimate and exceedingly helpful, for Dartmouth never had a more loyal son. Nor was his usefulness confined exclusively to the Hanover scene, for his personal interests extended to the Chicago Theological Seminary, of which he served for 38 years as a trustee, and for 15 years as its treasurer; and also to Colby College in Waterville, Me., whose new location on a hilltop just outside Waterville, now in process of development, was Mr. Hilton's idea as a trustee of that educational institution. A beautiful memorial chapel at the Chicago Seminary, the Alpha Delta Phi house at Hanover, and the admirable golf course there, are among the many tangible monuments to his memory.

Mr. Hilton's long and productive life emphasized the virtues of what is commonly called the "American Way." His native shrewdness, and the sterling personal character which he inherited from a long line of New England ancestors, endowed him plenteously for a career which was rich in achievement, both materially and spiritually. Few men with better justification could describe themselves as self-made, or more surely deserve credit for the wise use of their opportunities.

Born in Cambridge, Mass., April 17, 1868, he was educated in the Lowell public schools; and juvenile experiences with a small printing press at home inspired him with a desire for an education beyond what the local schools could give. With his New Hampshire ancestry, it was natural that he should make Dartmouth the college of his choice. Unfortunate business reverses made it impossible for his father to send him to college— but he was determined to go, just the same, and to support himself while there. This he did by teaching in the rural schools of Warren, N. H., and by clerical service during his summer vacations in the summer resorts of the White Mountains, where his industry and natural abilities atoned for his lack of advance experience in either calling, and so convincingly that he was invariably asked to renew his engagements for other years.

It was while he was serving as a clerk in a summer hotel in a White Mountain resort that he became acquainted with a member of the Ginn & Company publishing organization, and in consequence decided upon book publishing as a lite work. After his graduation with the class of 1890 at Dartmouth, he sought and obtained employment in the Boston offices of Ginn & Company, starting with the humblest of positions in the shipping room, but developing rapidly through its sales department until, in 1894, he was chosen a member of the firm. He organized its important office in Chicago, and later its London office, and ultimately became president of the company, to hold office until his retirement in 1946. Altogether, his service with the Ginn concern covered 56 years; and no other one man had more to do with building up its empire in the school-book publishing field.

In 1905 Mr. Hilton was chosen an Alumni Trustee of Dartmouth under President Tucker. At the expiration of ten years of service on that board he insisted on refusing a further re-election, feeling that the case demanded a rotation of the Alumni Trusteeships, in the best interest of all concerned. This led to the present rule of the board which restricts the service of Alumni Trustees to two consecutive five-year terms, thus confirming the soundness of Mr. Hilton's judgment. There was no major activity of the College, from the first rebuilding of Dartmouth Hall, after the fire of 1903, to the end of his days, in which Henry Hilton did not take an active and helpful part. Moreover, through his influence in the western areas of the country, he was more responsible than any other one man for the great spread of Dartmouth's popularity in those sections, of the United States, which has expanded the College from its early estate of a provincial New England institution to that of a broadly national one. Indeed there is a hint at international aspirations in Mr. Hilton's service for a time as a trustee of the Women's College at Constantinople, though of course that was devoid of any Dartmouth tinge.

Mr. Hilton naturally held many honorary degrees in recognition of his conspicuous service in the educational field, and he received the Doctorate of Laws from Northwestern University and Colby College, as well as from Dartmouth.

In 1897 he married Charlotte T. Sibley, a graduate of Wellesley, and six children were born of this union—three boys and three girls. Of these, one boy and one girl died in their youthful years, but the remainder survive him, as does Mrs. Hilton. The sons are all graduates of Dartmouth. With Henry s retirement from active business, the family removed to the ancestral home in North Tewksbury, only two or three miles out of Lowell. There, still alert and seemingly as young in spirit as ever, he died; and from that house he was buried, after a full life, well lived. To such men as Henry Hilton, Dartmouth College owes much. Because of them, she is what she is today. p. s. M.

1895

HARLAN AUGUSTUS COCHRAN, of 73 East Broadway, Derry, N. H., town treasurer for 20 years, died April 30, after a brief illness. He was born in Windham, N. H., on April 19, 1869, a son of William D. and Betsy (Armstrong) Cochran. He was graduated at Pinker- ton Academy, Derry, and Dartmouth College in the class of 1895.

For many years he was engaged in civil engineering projects in New York and New Hampshire. In later years he managed a casualty insurance business in Derry, known as the Derry Insurance Agency.

He was a direct descendant, the fourth generation, of the famed Robert Dinsmore, "rustic bard" of New Hampshire. He was a 50year member of Spickett lodge, F and AM, of Salem; Ransford chapter, OES, and Bethany Shrine, White Shrine of Jerusalem, both of Derry; and the Presbyterian Church of Windham.

In 1908 he married Harriet Caroline Pumpelly of McLean, 111., who survives him.

Funeral services were held at the First Church, East Derry, on May 3. Burial was in Forest Hill cemetery.

1896

TALLMADGE HAMILTON died March 5, 1948. He was born at Fond du Lac, Wis., March 26, 1873, the son of Alfred K. and Mary Emily (Tallmadge) Hamilton. At an early age he moved to Milwaukee and attended the Shattuck Military School, Faribault, Minn., for his preparatory education.

He entered Dartmouth in the class of 1896 and graduated with his class. While in college he belonged to Sigma Chi and Casque and Gauntlet. He took his law degree from the New York Law School in 1898 and practiced in Milwaukee, Tacoma, and finally in Seattle, Washington.

During World War I, he owned and operated the Washington Creosoting Company in Everett, Wash. He served on the Ration Board during World War II and was a member of the University Congregational Church. He was very active in civic affairs and served as Lt. Governor of Kiwanis International, President of the University Kiwanis Club, and President of the University Commercial Club. In fraternal organizations he was Past Master Blue Lodge F. and A.M. and Past Commander Knights Templar.

Tallmadge had been ill for about six years and retired from the practice of law on that account.

He is survived by his wife, Rose K. Hamilton, two sons, Alfred and Tallmadge Jr., and one daughter, Mary H. Evans of Tacoma, Washington.

He was indeed a good citizen, constantly striving for the benefit of his community. The Class of 1896 may well be proud of his record.

19°3

FREDERICK MASON RYDER of Middleboro, Mass., died on April 10. He was born November 29, 1881 in Middleboro, the son of Jesse 15. and Alice L. (Burrill) Ryder. He attended the Middleboro High School and entered college with our class in 1899, but left in his freshman year.

Returning to his home town, he entered the fire department and served his community for 37 years, the last 12 of which he was Chief of the department. During World War IX, in 1943, he resigned and served as head of the fire department at the American Fireworks Cos. in Randolph, Mass.

He was President of the Fish and Game Association in Middleboro for several years and was a member of the First Unitarian Church.

Fred is survived by his wife, Florence May (Staples) Ryder; a son, George Mason Ryder of Middleboro; and a brother, George H. Ryder of Boston.

Burial was in the Central Cemetery in Middleboro.

LESLIE WILLIAM ORCUTT died suddenly at his home, 60 Ray St., Fall River, Mass., on March 29. The son of Mr. and Mrs. William D.

He attended the public schools in that city and prepared for college at Thayer Academy, where he showed great promise as a student especially in Greek. While at Thayer he played on the baseball team.

Entering Dartmouth with the class of 1904 he soon endeared himself to all of us who were privileged to know him intimately. He had a sunny disposition with a rare gift of friendliness. He had a remarkable memory, keen powers of observation and a logical mind. Bill' was varsity second baseman for three years and was one of the most popular men in the class. After graduation he played semi-professional baseball for several years. Later he coached high school baseball with remarkable success.

1920

STANLEY MULLER MUNROE died April 1, 1948, in Joliet, 111., following an illness of three months during which he had undergone two nerve operations for the relief of high blood pressure.

Stan was born in Joliet, October 17, 1898, the son of the late Edwin Stanley and Marie (Muller) Munroe. He graduated from Joliet Township High School in 1916, and from Dartmouth in 1920. In 1918 he left Hanover temporarily and was in officers' training at Camp Lee, Va„ when World War I ended. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Immediately following graduation from Dartmouth Stan became a partner in Munroe Brothers real estate and insurance firm, founded by his grandfather in 1865, and remained an active partner from 1920 until his death. In 1922 he was married to Miss Isabel Hotchkiss of Joliet.

Stan always retained an active interest in the College, and took special interest in young men seeking admission to Dartmouth. In Joliet he was long an active member of the Rotary Club, of the Joliet Real Estate Board, which he had served as president, and of the Joliet Insurance Association. In 1943 was elected a trustee of the Silver Cross hospital.

An editorial in the Joliet Herald News said of him: "Death, at 49 years of age, has terminated the career of a useful and upstanding citizen, whose most fitting epitaph may be that even those who knew him only slightly, or perhaps not at all, have received the news of his passing with a sense of sincere regret and personal loss."

A modest and kindly person, Stan was respected by all who knew him, loved by those who knew him well. It is through alumni like him dispersed throughout the country and 'round the girdled earth that the College's fame is spread, and her worth proved.

Surviving him are his wife, his mother, a sister, Mrs. John B. Tinnon of Larchmont, N. Y., and four nephews: John, William, and Edwin Tinnon, and George B. Munroe '43. Stan's brother, George M. Munroe '13, died January 5, 1938.

In response to a letter of sympathy from the class, A 1 s wife writes, "I never knew anyone who enjoyed life more than Albert did. He loved his home, his friends and his work."

WILLIAM CLEMENT WHIPPLE died on April 19, 1948. Stricken at his office on that day, he was rushed to United Hospital in Port Chester, N. Y., where he died in a few hours without regaining consciousness.

Bill was born November 24, 1900, in Purchase, N. Y„ the son of William C. and Mae (Colburn) Whipple, and entered Dartmouth from White Plains High School. Shortly after graduating from College, and while engaged in construction work, he suffered a severe leg injury which would have completely discouraged many a lesser man, since it was of a permanent nature. But he rose above it entirely by accepting it in his calm manner, and we who were fortunate enough to see him often, never noticed it any more than he did.

After partially recovering from this injury, Bill joined the Rye (N.Y.) Coal and Supply Company, becoming its Vice President and General Manager. During his 20-year residence in Rye, at 775 Boston Post Road, he became firmly entrenched in the respect and high regard of his fellow townsmen, one of whom has said of him, "Service is the rent you pay for the space you occupy in your community, and on that basis alone he held a high place in the affection of Rye people." He was a member of the Rye High School Dads' Club, Rye Fish and Game Club, Rye Methodist Church and, during its numbered years, of Dartmouth in Westchester. He was elected Class Treasurer and member of the Executive Committee five years ago, and served the class faithfully and well in these capacities, as well as taking an active interest in his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi.

Attending the funeral at his home on April 21st were a number of his classmates, fraternity brothers and other friends at Dartmouth, including Irish Flanigan, Joe Schiffenhaus, Bob Coller, Mac Mackedon, George Billings, Stan and Mildred Ungar, Dick and Dolly Kershaw, Donald Gray, Strong, Haviland, and Ben Wilson.

Bill is survived by his wife, Viola Billington Whipple and their daughter, Sally Ann Whipple, both of the Rye address, and by a sister and brother.

1946

The Class of 1946 lost one of its most popular men when GARRETT CURTISS JACOBUS, on March 23 succeeded in a second attempt to take his life. At the time of his death Garry was twenty-five years old and a staff physician at the Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago.

Dr. Jacobus was graduated from Wauwatosa High School in June 1941. In high school he was president- of the Student Council, salutatorian of his class, co-captain of football and basketball, and had an over-all scholastic average of 93.3. His high school principal recalled Garry as a "conscientious youth who had been very popular with his classmates."

Garry had entered Dartmouth in 1942 and continued here until he enlisted in the Navy in 1943. He continued his medical studies in V-12 and upon his discharge in 1945 entered the Columbia University Medical School. He specialized in brain disorders and last year joined the staff of the Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago.

Garry will be remembered as one of the very likeable members of our Class Executive Committee—a quiet, modest member of his class and a devoted alumnus of the College.
