In Memoriam

1884

HOMER BEZALEEL HULBERT died in Seoul, Korea on August 5. Homer was born on January 26, 1863, at New Haven, Vt., the son of Calvin Butler Hulbert, Dartmouth 1853, and Mary Elizabeth Woodward. He was a grandson of Henry Woodward, Dartmouth 1815 and a great-great grandson of President Eleazar Wheelock. He graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1880 and from Dartmouth in 1884. At Dartmouth he became a member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa Society, was left halfback on the first football team and was known affectionately among his classmates as Homer Beelzebub. After graduation he attended Union Theological Seminary for two years.

Hulbert was one of three young men sent to Korea in 1886 by the United States Department of Education to organize and set up the educational system of the country. Under this assignment he established schools throughout the nation and he also organized normal schools where native teachers could be trained.

Hulbert remained in Korea for twenty-one years, during which time he made numerous trips to the United States. On one of those trips he was married to May Belle Hanna in New York City on September 18, 1888. Five children were born of this marriage; Helen, now Mrs. Helen Blague, with whom he made his home in recent years at 44 Fairfield St., Springfield, Mass.; William Chester, Dartmouth '18; and Homer Leonard, all of whom survive him. There was also a daughter Madeleine bora in 1894 who died in 1910, and a son Sheldon born in 1896, who died in 1897. Mrs. Hulbert had returned with him to Korea and all of the children were born there.

During his stay in Korea, Hulbert became an instructor in the Royal School at Seoul and for many years was in charge of the Normal School there. He was a frequent contributor to American and British magazines and on visits to this country, lectured on Japanese-Korean relations. He was editor of the Korean Review from 1900 to 1906, and was the author of several books, among them The History of Korea and The Passing ofKorea. He was a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and finally became official advisor to the former Emperor.

At the time when the Japanese fleet crushed the Russians, he wrote a story of the battle for the London Times. He represented the Korean Emperor at the Hague Conference. When Japan appeared about to move into Korea forcibly, he was sent by the Emperor to see President Theodore Roosevelt to beg for United States intercession. When the Japanese learned that Hulbert was Korea's emissary, they forced the Emperor to abdicate.

Hulbert then started a one-man campaign to save Korea. He wrote and lectured, citing the true character of the Japanese and the need for United States help in Korea. He was a lecturer on the Chautauqua circuit.

Fourteen years after his return in this country he appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to plead the cause of the Koreans, at which time he charged that the Japanese were ruling the country against the will of its people and committing atrocities against them. It was not until Korea was liberated by American troops at the end of World War II that he saw his dream of a free Korea materialize.

In 1948 Mr. and Mrs. Hulbert were invited to the inauguration of the new president of the Korean Republic but they were unable to attend. Shortly after that, Mrs. Hulbert died.

Hulbert recently returned to Korea at the personal invitation of President Rhee, arriving there on August first. Upon his arrival he was met at the boat by the Mayor of Seoul, officials from the United States Embassy, heads of committees, agencies and government departments, and two thousand soldiers.

He died on August fifth and was buried with much pomp and ceremony in a cemetery outside of Seoul. So his last resting place is where he would have wished it to be, in the country whose interests had been his life's work.

1890

WILLIAM GERRY MORGAN died in Washington, D. C. on July 7 of a heart ailment.

He "was born in Newport, N. H. May 2, 1868, the son of Gerry and Mary Jane (Strong) Morgan. After graduating from Dartmouth with our class, where he was a member of Psi Upsilon he received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1893. After post graduate work at Post Graduate Hospital in New York City he began practise in Washington.

In 1899 Gerry joined the faculty of Georgetown University School of Medicine and served for many years as professor of gastroenterology, member of the Board of Regents, and as Dean from 1931 to 1935, when he retired as Dean Emeritus.

Nationally known as a gastroenterologist and diagnostician, Gerry took an active part in the affairs of medical associations in his area and in the nation. In 1929 he was elected head of the American Medical Association. In 1940 he was made master of the American College of Physicians. He was a former governor of the American College of Physicians, an ex-president of the American Gastro-Exterological Association, the Clinico-Pathological Society and the American Congress of Internai Medicine. That he was a member of historical, anthropological and archaeological associations gives some indication of the breadth of his interests.

A physician o£ rare gifts, diverse talents and many constructive qualities Dr. Morgan's patients said they were benefited as much by his kindliness as by his skill. He admittedly belonged to the "old school" of medicine. His primary concert was to discover "what ailed people." Gradually and systematically he developed a marvelous power of diagnosis. He gave the word pathology a new and more dynamic meaning. He wanted folk to be healthy and happy and he gladly spent himself to that end.

Dartmouth conferred the honorary degree of Sc.D. on Dr. Morgan in 1930 and in the same year the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown University conferred the LL.D.

On November 27, 1897 Gerry was married to Cora May Boyd of New York City who survives him with three daughters, Mrs. Myra Stump, Mrs. Osborn B. Hardison and Mrs. Charles Wellborne Jr. Dr. Morgan made his home at 3737 Fessenden St., N.W., Washington.

SHERIDAN ALONZO STOWELL, who was with the class for two years died at the home of his daughter, 1309 Grand Ave., Santa Ana, Calif, on August 7.

He was born in Claremont, N. H., December 20, 1867, the son of George H. and Lizzie (Holbrook) Stowell.

Obliged to leave colege because he was suffering from asthma, he went to California where he developed valuable orange groves and built up a successful fumigating and spraying business. He moved about in California in an attempt to find a location which would benefit his health.

On July 12, 1893, he was married to Bertha Raymore in Brookfield, Vt. who survives him with their daughter, Mrs. Russell Rohrs and one son, Noel.

1894

ALVAH HERMAN MORRILL CURTIS

After the class secretary became absorbed in planning for the Fifty-Fifth reunion he was constantly wondering whether anyone of the class would be taken before the reunion actually happened. As the day drew near he realized how long a time had passed since the last death—May 16, 1948, and he thought that perhaps we were going to hold together the thirty-two graduates who were on. our list when we started our plans last fall.

However, it was not to be. The man who alone of our group had three Christian names and whom we called, perhaps unconsciously on that account, "Curt," had written that an accident had so crippled him that he would not be able to come. He said it was a "blow." Then word from one of his twin sons (Dartmouth '25) came, that very suddenly on May 8 our classmate had gone.

After thirteen years at school—teaching in Portsmouth and Manchester, Curtis went with the Ford Motor Company in Canada for twelve years and then for thirteen years was controller of the Chicago, Duluth and Georgian Bay Transit Company with headquarters at Detroit. He came to six of the first seven reunions and was there at the fiftieth. The spirit with which he lived his life may be gathered from a letter in 1944: "The years, of course, take their toll, and I cannot move as fast nor stand as many hours of work as formerly, yet I find a lot depends on the 'old men of today' to carry on the work formerly delegated to younger men. Thank the Lord (and pass the ammunition) we can do it."

His last letter dated May 6 and addressed to Phil Marden had this: "I have been planning for five years on attending our FiftyFifth Reunion but a broken hip has dashed all plans. Please remember me to each member of the Class and tell them how sorry I am that it is not a personal hand clasp. You might tell Lewis that I still cling to bow ties."

In college Curtis belonged to Alpha Delta Phi and to Sphinx. He played football and sang in the Glee Club. He was born at Newcastle, N. H. January 20, 1871, and died in Detroit, Mich., where he made his home at 1130 Parker Ave. He was married January 24, 1900 to Mary Ethel Dana. Mrs. Curtis and the twin sons survive.

1895

Our classmate, WILLIAM ALBERT FOSTER, died on July 23, at his home, 9 Auburn St., Concord, N. H.

Following his graduation from Dartmouth, where he was a member of Sigma Chi and Sphinx, he received his LL.B. from Harvard, and was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar. He began the practice of law at Concord as an associate of the late Justice John M. Mitchell and subsequently, for more than thirty years, he was associated with Harry A. Lake. After the latter's death in 1941, he continued his law practice alone.

He was formerly President of the Wonolancet Club, and of the Bow Brook Club. At the time of his death he was a trustee of Loan and Trust Savings Bank; director, First National Bank, and officer and director of several realty companies. For many years he was a director of Stratton & Company of Concord, and a trustee of the New Hampshire Centennial Home for the Aged.

Besides his wife, the former Ethel Robinson, he is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Helen F. Everett of Concord and Mrs. Katharine Rainbolt of New Canaan, Conn.; one son, Robert E. Foster '34 of Concord, and nine grandchildren.

Funeral services were held at the family home on July 25.

1898

SHERMAN ROBERTS MOULTON, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Vermont, died at his home, 178 S. Prospect St., Burlington, Vt., on June 15. He died from a sudden heart attack while sitting on his porch after dinner.

He was born in New York City June 10, 1876 the son of Clarence F. (Dartmouth 1863) and Annie J. (Roberts) Moulton. The family moved to Randolph, Vt., in 1890 where he graduated from high school. In college he was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Casque and Gauntlet and was managing editor of the Dartmouth Literary Monthly in his senior year. He was elected an honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa in 1933. He received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Boston University in 1942 and D.C.L. from the University of Vermont in 1945.

Graduating from Harvard Law School in 1901, he began the practice of law in Burlington. He was Assistant Attorney for the Rutland Railroad 1902-03; member of the firm of Cowles and Moulton 1903-11 and of the firm of Cowles, Moulton and Stearns 1911-12. He then practiced alone and in 1915-17 was Executive Clerk to Governor Gates of Vermont. In 1916-19 he was Reporter of Decisions for the Vermont Supreme Court. In 1919 he was a member of the Vermont State Senate. February 1 of that year he was appointed to the Superior Court of Vermont and became its Chief Justice Aprils, 1926. In November 1926 he was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Vermont and was elevated to Chief Justice July 12, 1938, a position which he held at the time of his retirement April 1, 1949.

He was chosen President of the Vermont Bar Association in 1940 and since 1945 was President of the Chittenden County Bar Association. He also served as member of the Vermont Commission on Uniform Laws; as Vice President and member of the Executive Committee, National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, 1947-8; Chairman Vermont Judicial Council; Chairman Vermont Editorial Board, Vermont Statutory Revision, 1947-48; member of the Board of Trustees, Vermont State Library since 1938; President, Board of Trustees of Ruggles Foundation, since 1933. He was the author of The Boorne Mystery and several papers on historical and biographical subjects.

He had one brother, Horace F. (Dartmouth 1900) who died June 9, 1930. He was married June 20, 1906, at Riverside, R. 1., to Stella Allen Piatt and had one son, Horace Piatt (Dartmouth 1928), both of whom survive him. His funeral was held in College Street Congregational Church in Burlington and the burial was in the Moulton family cemetery in Randolph, Vt.

"Sherm" was one of the distinguished members of the class and we were proud of his success. In college he was respected and admired both for his literary ability and his sterling character. But it was not until he began to come back to reunions that he displayed those delightful human qualities which so endeared him to the people of Vermont. Our respect and admiration ripened into true love and affection. To those of us who knew his mother he seemed to take on more and more her qualities of true friendliness and love of people which she displayed through life. To her he owed that uprightness of character and intellectual integrity which were his.

We shall remember him best as we saw him at our fiftieth reunion when at the class dinner he gave that gem of a speech clothed in that clear and precise English which he always used with that delightful humor of which he was a past master. Always a "Beau Brummel" his personal neatness of dress seemed to be reflected in his speech itself.

He was proud of his profession, proud of his own success and most of all he was proud that his only son was succeeding so well in his father's beloved profession of the law.

As a classmate, as a husband and as a father he displayed that thoughtfulness and kindly humor which made him so beloved. He was more than an able jurist. He was in the truest sense of the word a Christian gentleman.

The Fitchburg Sentinel says of him, "He was recognized, not only as an excellent teacher, but as an efficient executive and a man of keen understanding of human nature, especially as it pertained to his work with young people. He gained the highest respect of the pupils wlio came under his direction and of the teachers with whom he was associated."

He was also active in the work of the community, serving the Y.M.C.A., the Men's Club of the church to which he belonged, the Red Cross and acting as four-minute speaker and as an assistant to the Legal Advisory Board in World War I.

During World War I he served in the Navy Medical Corps, after which he practiced medicine in St. Louis for twentyfive years, gaining renown as a nationally known urologist. Among the many offices he held in St. Louis were: Health Commissioner of St. Louis County; police surgeon; medical adviser, Board of Education; Chief of Staff, St. Louis County Hospital; staff member of three other St. Louis hospitals; Consultant, Veterans Hospital, Jefferson Barracks; President, Induction Boards; Chief of Athletic Examining Board of Missouri; and Chief Medical Examiner, Missouri Athletic Commission.

Chief Consultant for England and all embarkation points. He landed with troops at Omaha Beach, and took off the first wounded, later setting up a rehabilitation center which returned thousands of men to the front. He was retired as Lieut. Colonel in 1945 because of wounds suffered in line of duty and for acute coronary. He was a member of various medical societies, including the American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons, and held an honorary life captaincy in the U. S. Marines.

Kress & Cos. of New York retiring in 1947, holding the office of vice president. During World War II he served on his local draft board, and after his retirement to Whitingham, Vt. was active in civic affairs. He was also an active Mason.

Since retiring from business, "Easty" had been living on his farm in Whitingham, apparently in good health and enjoying his life in the country. His Dartmouth classmates, some of whom attended high school with him also, remember him as a quietly energetic boy, of cheerful mien and friendly ways. One who knew him especially well says: "He remained modest all through his life, but in that quiet way of his he did a great deal of good for other people, and he was loved and respected by all who knew him." All members of 1916 will cordially endorse this tribute to '"Easty."

On December 22, 1917 Easty was married to Elizabeth Smith, who survives him.

He prepared tor Dartmouth at Iving School, where he was active in school journalism and dramatics. At Dartmouth he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Fred stayed with us in Hanover only two years, but is well remembered as a handsome, quiet fellow who was one of the fashion-plates of our time.

The record of his subsequent career is sadly incomplete, with a characteristically brief accounting of his activities appearing in the various class reports. In the twenties he appears to have been engaged in the real estate and insurance business in Chicago. Later he turned to the field of hotel management, and as far as we know remained active therein until the present year.

Fred's brother James H. Robinson of 519 North Ave., Lake Bluff, 111., is the only survivor of whom we have any record.

"Darien—RICHARD CARL SCHMIDT, 32, was found dead in the backyard of a home where he had gone to make a delivery of a tank of illuminating gas. Death was attributed to a heart attack.

"Schmidt, associated with his father, Carl J. Schmidt, in the plumbing and heating business, was financial secretary of the Darien Fire Department. A graduate of Dartmouth College, he served four years in the European Theater in World War 11. He leaves his widow, Marjorie Caldwell Schmidt, two children, and his parents."—New Britain (Conn.) Herald, 14 July 49.

Many members of the class undoubtedly read news items such as the above every day in their papers, but it is always a shock to read news of this sort about someone you knew either only slightly or quite well and to realize that the class is depleted by one more name. 1938 has had three similar losses over the past year, all of them sudden, which makes them seem all the harder to realize.

Dick Schmidt was a member of Delta Upsilon and of El Centro Espanol and after leaving college won the Combat Infantryman Badge as a Warrant Officer (jg) in Europe. After returning from the War he joined his father's business as a Bookkeeper for Nugas Service.

Dick's home was at 14 Mechanic Ave., Darien, Conn.
