At Dartmouth he joined Kappa Kappa Kappa and the Ace of Spades Medical Society. Active and popular on the campus, "Woody" built for himself a reputation for having knowledge of a great number of subjects and of being able to discourse on them.

After graduating from Harvard he served brief internships at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston City Hospital, and Boston Lying-in Hospital, after which he practiced for a short period at his native town of Weare. In the fall of 1896 he selected Wakefield, Mass. as the town in which he wished to settle, and here he remained the rest of his life, practising medicine and becoming one of the outstanding citizens of that section.

Professionally Dr. Woodbury took an active interest in the affairs of the medical societies. He was a member of the Golden Rule Lodge of Masons.

He graduated from New Hampton Literary Institute, and in later years served on its Board of Trustees. He entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1897, the oldest member of the class, and received his degree in 1901.

Planning early to enter the teaching profession, he graduated from the Plymouth Teachers College and then taught in various schools in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He was appointed Superintendent of Schools of Huntington. Mass., and later held the same position" in Rockland, retiring in 1921. He returned to Pittsfield, and although not in any active pursuit, he had bui!t up a reputation as an executor and administrator of estates.

"L O" was of a quiet, retiring disposition, seldom taking part in college activities, but was well liked and was always loyal to the class and the College. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta.

In 1923 he married Florence H. French, who survives him. Services were held at St. Stephen's Church and the burial was in Gilman ton.

ARTHUR URIE HERSEY was born in Hingham, Mass., March 22, 1880, the son of Arthur F. and Mary L. (Urie) Hersey, and passed away at his home in Greenwich, Conn., June 14, 1949

He was descended from an old English family that settled in Hingham in the early days of the colony. He graduated from the Hingham High School in 1897, and entered Dartmouth with the class of 1901, transfering to Harvard our Junior year, and he graduated from that university in 1901, and from the Harvard Law School in 1904.

Following graduation he entered into the practice of law in Boston and Hingham, and continued an active practice until 1915, during the last years being a member of the firm of Hayes, Williams, Baker and Hersey. He was also active in church work and politics, and served as trustee of various real estate trusts and estates, and as a director on several corporations. For many years he was a member of the parish committee of the First Unitarian Church in Hingham.

Hersey was interested in military organizations, including the Massachusetts State Militia, and the First Corps Cadets, and the annual tours of duty with these organizations were a source of great enjoyment to him.

In 1915 he became connected as an attorney with the Texas Company in New York City, and continued with that concern until his retirement a short time before his death. He married Ella Louise Chase on August 28, 1915, and they made their home at 137 Milbank Ave., Greenwich, Conn. The burial was in the old family lot in the Hingham Cemetery.

1902

HERBERT CARROLL ADAMS died of a coronary occlusion August 13, at his home in Alpine, N. Y. He was born September 4, 1879 in Haverhill, Mass., and entered Dartmouth from the Haverhill High School. In college he was an outstanding student, took First Prize in Free Hand Drawing, and was honored with admission to Phi Beta Kappa.

After leaving college, he worked for a time with the Berlin Construction Cos. and the New Jersey Bridge Cos., and then for 30 years until his retirement in 1947 was a bridge engineer with the American Bridge Cos. at Elmira Heights, N. Y. There he was held in highest esteem because of his dependability and his meticulous care in all his work, so that even after his retirement, he was called upon by them to do occasional contract work. He lived his last years in Alpine, where he enjoyed his fine family and his numerous hobbies: being a good carpenter, a gardener, a philatelist and a collector of rare coins.

Herbert was married in 1905 to Sylvia Ellen Turner, who survives him. He had four daughters, sending them all to college, and 11 grandchildren, the youngest being born in February of this year. One of his sons-in-law was killed in action in Germany in 1945.

Before entering Dartmouth "Doc" served in the Spanish War. A spine injury received during this service forced him to leave college in November 1901 and for the next several years he was an invalid.

Most of his career was spent as a draughtsman for General Electric Company. Following his retirement he taught drafting in adult classes at Pittsfield High School.

Although "Doc" never attended any class reunions he was well known to Dartmouth men in Pittsfield. He never married and issurvived only by distant cousins.

1905

The third member to be lost to the Class of '05 this past summer was EVERETT A. CHISHOLM, whose fondness for Dartmouth was not dimmed by 37 years of teaching in the very shadow of Yale.

Everett passed away on July 20, at his home, 64 Bradley Avenue, East Haven, Conn.

Everett came to Dartmouth from Manchester, N. H. Quiet and steady student, who took little part in extra-curricular activities, he nevertheless was interested in all that went on.

Upon graduation, he devoted seven years to teaching in four schools. In West Warren, Mass., he was principal of the Grammar School. In Westboro, Mass., he taught in the High School. He served on the faculties of Dean Academy, in Franklin, Mass., and Mercersburg Academy, in Pennsylvania.

Then, in 1912, began his long career of teaching mathematics in New Haven High School and New Haven College, until a paralytic stroke overcame him in March, 1949. Since then, he had not been able to move very far from his bed. Commencement at his own school had always prevented his attendance at Class Reunions, but his fondest hope had been to attend the graduation from Dartmouth in the Class of 1949 of his younger son, Stanley B. His illness interfered, however.

In 1916, Everett married Edna Brown, who survives him. Their surviving children are Allan B„ who spent four years in the Navy, and Stanley 8., who spent a similar time in General Patton's Army. One summer, in order to supplement his income, Everett worked in an arms factory.

Everett was fond of fishing in Long Island Sound, gardening, and bowling. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Engraved on his memory since 1922 was high admiration for Joe Gilman, our now departed Classmate and athlete, who then told the Connecticut alumni, gathered in New Haven, that in judging athletes, character was a first consideration with him.

September, 1950, opened inauspiciously for the Class of 1905. On its first day we lost our fourth classmate in two months.

GEORGE CRAM AGRY died at The Tarrytown Hospital in Tarrytown, N. Y., and was buried in Portland, Maine, his mother's home city.

Son of a Newton Center (Mass.) druggist, George entered Dartmouth from Newton High School. He became leader of the CoLege Mandolin Club. His politeness and his exuberant enthusiasm distinguished him among us. He attained Casque and Gauntlet Senior Society.

Immediately after graduation, he began, eight years of sales work with the Library Bureau, which led to his becoming the Company's New Orleans manager, traveling through much of the South.

By 1915 he had become General Manager of the Fowler Manufacturing Company, a maker of towel supplies in New York City.

Early in 1916, however, began a long seige of sickness, six months of it in a Michigan sanatorium and another half year at his Newton home.

On recovery, Mr. Agry joined the Lamson Company, Inc., manufacturers and erectors of pneumatic-tube carrier systems, as assistant manager of industrial sales. In late years, he turned to selling hearing aids, which he could do sympathetically, his own hearing having become handicapped. For the past 13 years he had been with the Sonotone Cos.

In 1920, George was elected as the Boston member of the Class Executive Committee.

While in New Orleans he married Mercedes Smith, on April 20, 1912. Their daughter, now Mrs. Nancy Smith Cavanaugh, was born in Syracuse April 1, 1919. Both survive, as does his brother, Warren Agry 'll. The sympathy of the Class goes out to the family in their sorrow.

1924

Dartmouth men the world over, and most particularly members of the Class of 1924, were stunned to read in the public press of the shocking death of our classmate EVERETT MOORE BAKER, who was killed in the crash of a Trans-World Airlines Constellation near Ityai el Baroud, Egypt, on August 31. Ev was flying home from Bombay, where he had presided over the annual conference of the International Student Service of which he was the chairman. His untimely passing leaves a tremendous void, not only in the Dartmouth family, but in educational and religious circles generally, for Ev had risen to well-deserved prominence in the fields of his choice.

Ev was born in Newton, Mass. in 1901, and prepared for Dartmouth at Phillips Exeter Academy. While in college he was very active in campus life. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, manager of freshman baseball, a member of Green Key and the Dartmouth Christian Association Cabinet.

During the intervening years he was actively associated with the work of the American Unitarian Association, and since 1937 had been vice president of that national organization.

During his pastorate in Cleveland, Ev lectured on sociology at Western Reserve University, and found time to publish some excellent books on religious and sociological subjects. Throughout his career, Ev Baker was always interested in working with young people, particularly young men, and it was perhaps due to this interest that, in 1947, he became Dean of Students at M.1.T., the position he held at the time of his death. Ev received an honorary degree from Tufts in 1938, and in 1949 Dartmouth awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity.

Ev was always a loyal and devoted alumnus. He gave unstintingly of his time to advance the cause of Dartmouth, and in 1948-1949 was elected President of the Dartmouth Alumni Association. Upon the occasion of our 25th Reunion, Ev gave the Baccalaureate Address, and shared speaking honors with President Dickey and Senator Vandenberg.

He leaves his wife, Helen Macdonald Baker, and two sons, David, 18, and Sidney, 13, of 43 Garden Road, Wellesley Hills, Mass.; a brother, Morgan Baker '29 of New Haven, Conn., and a sister, Mrs. Cornelia Mendenhall, also of New Haven. To them, his host of friends will join in offering their heartfelt sympathy. Ev's life was a full one. It was rich in friendships, rich in accomplishment, and rich in service to his fellow man.
