classiIn Memoriam

1894

PAUL ROCKWELL JENKS was born in Concord, N. H., June 23, 1872. He graduated at the Concord High School and came to Dartmouth because as he says: "It was the place for a New Hampshire boy."

In College his fraternity was Alpha Delta Phi and Tiger was his senior society. He secured the first mathematical prize, took final honors in Greek and was our salutatorian. Of course, he made Phi Beta Kappa. Four years was not enough for him at college so he was a graduate student in 1894-95. He was also a graduate student at Columbia in 1900-1901.

Paul began his life work of teaching as the principal in the High School Department of the New Hampshire State Normal School at Plymouth where he remained five years. He then went to the Boys High School of Brooklyn, N. Y., as assistant teacher of Latin and Greek, 1901-1907. Continuing in the New York School system, he went to Flushing High School in 1907 as first assistant in cal languages, remaining there for 35 years until his retirement in 1942. Four times he was acting principal of the school. In 1931-32 he was instructor in Greek, extension courses, at Hunter College.

Paul Jenks was a born teacher. He called teaching "the greatest sport" and the relationship that existed between him and his students is illustrated in the article with that title in the MAGAZINE of last November. Says Dr. Douglas Horton, who is the top leader in the Congregational Christian Churches of the United States and who was his pupil in Brooklyn: "Paul Jenks was a truly great teacher. He understood boys to their very essence and was able to light their minds with intellectual enthusiasm - how rare a gift!"

In connection with his teaching he was the author or joint author of four widely used Latin text-books.

But teaching was not his only interest. He served as Counsellor of Trails in 1917-1919 for the Appalachian Mountain Club and from then on as secretary of the Committee on Trails. He painted all the Club's trail signs Henry was born in Lawrence, Mass., July 28, 1874, the son of Henry Melville Chase, D.M.C. '64, and Mary Hamilton. In college he was a member of Sigma Chi, C. & G. and Phi Beta Kappa. He received his M.D. from Harvard in 1901 and after interning at Massachusetts General Hospital began practise in Boston where he continued until his death. During World War I he served as a captain in the Army Medical Corps.

Henry once said that he was "too busy for golf, too busy for foreign travel, too busy for clubs and hobbies," but his great success in his profession reflected the intense and abiding human interest he put into it. Because of his ability, character and helpfulness to others Henry was, by common consent of his classmates, one of the outstanding members of the class.

On May 20, 1903, Henry was married to Blanche Knox who survives him and who is living at 91 Bay State Road, Boston. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Herbert Tucker, and by two nephews, Hamilton Chase '47 and P. Minot Chase '50, sons of his brother Philip M. Chase '09.

Noyes, Tuttle, Morse and Holt represented the class at the funeral.

FRANK DANA SEARS died of a heart attack on February 12 at his home, 14 Charles St., Hyde Park, Mass.

He was born in Hyde Park, September 12, 1877, and was graduated from Hyde Park High School with Balkam, Howard, Norris and D. B. Rich.

In college he was a member of Phi Delta Theta. He was a member of the 1900 baseball team in freshman year, and captain of the sophomore year team. He was awarded honorable mention in graphics and a Thayer School mathematical prize.

While he took his B.S. degree with Phi Beta Kappa rank, he returned to Hanover in the fall of 1900, after doing engineering work with several western railroads, and completed his Thayer course, getting his C.E. degree in 1901. He never followed up his civil engineering but went into educational work, teaching in The Mitchell Military School and in Stetson University, Deland, Fla.

In 1903 he married Mabel Esther Whitcomb of Holbrook, Mass. In 1905 he became Supervising Prefect in Girard College, Philadelphia. He retained this position until 1920 when he returned to Hyde Park and became affiliated with the Boston Agency of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. He remained with this company until 1934 when ill health compelled him to retire. From then on his activi ties were confined to church, Y.M.C.A. work and as a counselor at a number of boys' camps. He was long a member of the Board of Managers of the Hyde Park Y.M.C.A. and a deacon in the Hyde Park Baptist Church.

He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Arlow Bates, and two grandchildren.

Dana was a loyal member of the class. After he returned to Hyde Park in 1920 it is not recalled that he failed to attend a reunion or any of the annual round-ups. On these occasions he was always ready to lend a hand in helping to make them the delight they have been to us. His presence and his help will be much missed.

The Fitchburg, Mass., newspaper pays high tribute editorially to classmate JOHN PAUL MULQUEENEY, who died on Washington's Birthday, just after returning to his home, 190 Highland Ave., from an evening drive with Mrs. Mulqueeney.

He had worked for that newspaper his entire career, with the exception of three years in the insurance business (1924-7). He started with the Sentinel as its Leominster reporter, becoming Fitchburg City Hall political reporter, and finally a member of the editorial staff. Widely known, nationally as well as locally, he was highly respected for his judgment and his impartial and courageous reporting. During World War I, he was Leominster's fuel administrator. To quote from the Sentinel's editorial, "He could easily have become the pawn of politicians, but such was not his choice.. .. He took pride in the fact that he was a free man. Because of his keen insight into the political scheme of things and his contacts on a local, state and national level, he was the leading political reporter and analyst in north-central Massachusetts. His prognostications were unusually accurate. .. . His indomitable courage was an inspiration . .. and often the lives of others were enriched by his acquaintance. He was well liked by all."

John had two avocations in which he was an enthusiast football and flower gardening. It was his -football skill that led him to Dartmouth. He always regretted that he hadn't devoted enough attention to studies in high school so that he could have remained in college beyond 1902. However, he made good with his athletics on a semi-professional football team and then as football coach for the Leominster High School team, where he had been a star player. Lou Little, coach of Columbia University, was one of his proteges in John's coaching days. He won and held the respect of his youthful players.

ALLEN BARROWS DOGGETT JR. died on February 10 of a heart attack, at his home in Belmont, N. Y. During the fall he had been hospitalized for an operation but he had appeared recovered from that and his death was unexpected.

"Doggo" was born in Munich, Germany, October 23, 1887, son of Allen B. and Mary (Rogers) Doggett. When he entered college his home was in Brooklyn where he attended Erasmus Hall High School. In college he captained his freshman hockey team, managed the 1910 team sophomore year, and was business manager of the 1910 Aegis.

His first connection after college was with the advertising department of Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N. J. From this he went into farming, first in Englishtown, N. J., and later in Cummington, Mass. In 1918 he entered the Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. After a year in that activity, he became associated with the Hampton institute of Virginia, where he taught marketing, studied methods of local and terminal markets, did field survey work, raised funds and carried on extension work in rural districts. In 1930 he took over the work of the publication office and press service. He edited the illustrated magazine and was in charge of the print shop of the Institute. He said of himself, "My background has been well-weighted with agriculture, plenty of it of the dirt variety. One of its chief values is in the ability it has given me to see goods, people and reading matter as the farmer sees and uses them. His problems and worries I know from having had them myself. I know the farm home and what it can be made to be, and have some insight and judgment in matters affecting those who live by farming."

This background fitted Doggo for his work with the Federal Land Bank of Springfield, Mass., which he entered in 1934 and gave him opportunity to become a friend to a great many farmers. He remained in this connection until his death.

Allen Doggett was married to Jeannie Pangborn, in Brooklyn March 19, 1914. They had two sons, Allen B. III and Warrel Rogers, and a daughter, Jane Pangborn. He later married Frances Decker and a third son, Decker, was born. The widow and the four children survive.

I911

ARTHUR CLEOPHUS THERIAULT died suddenly from a heart condition in Montpelier, Vt., on February 8.

Tate was born in Montpelier June 11, 1888, the son of Paul and Mathilda (Girard) Theriault. He came to Dartmouth from Montpelier High School and while he did not stay for the four years he was a loyal member of the class and was held in high esteem by all.

On leaving Dartmouth he entered the University of Maine where he studied law. He practiced in Montpelier continuously until his death. From 1933 to 1946 he served as municipal judge. He served overseas during World War I.

On February 10, 1925, Tate was married to Louise Bernardini and they made their home at 27 Loomis St., Montpelier. Besides his wife he is survived by a brother, William in the White Mountains for over 25 years, indeed until within two years of his death. Appropriately he had a delightful summer cottage with a superb mountain view in Whitefield, N. H., to which he repaired year after year.

In one of his letters he speaks of a third interest, namely the church. He became a vestryman in the Episcopal church in Flushing. .

When Paul went into a thing he went in all over, no detail being too small to escape his eye. So when in 1952 a vacancy occurred in the office of class agent and Paul was appointed to what some might think a thankless task, this took the place of mountain trails and became his chief concern. To be sure, he raised the money, but his delight in it was due to the opportunity it afforded for personal relationships. In his letter to the Fall Round-up of 1952 he said:

"I know a certain man who knows about 1000% more about both the men and the women of the class than before the 50th, and I can see nothing bad about that yet! In fact I think he's the luckiest of the whole bunch!"

During practically all his adult life Paul had to contend with diabetes but it was not until he had a coronary thrombosis in 1942 and another in 1943 that his full struggle with ill health began. From then on he was severely restricted but maintained a superb courage. Last September a blood-clot formed in one of his feet and he was obliged for months to lie flat on his back on a hard bed and then was allowed to move around in a wheelchair. In early February he was attacked with a virulent form of influenza and the end came with another coronary thrombosis on February 15.

He was married to Bertha Mae Tisdale on July 18, 1901. Two children came. Elizabeth, who lives at home, has been a mainstay during later years. A son, Allen Woodbury, born in 1905, died in 1919.

The funeral service was held at his home, 141-48 33rd Ave., Flushing, February 18. Three members of the class attended: Knowlton, Martyn, who made arrangements for the flowers, and C. C. Merrill who took part in the service. Interment was in the family lot in Concord, N. H.

WALTER STORY GOSS was born in Georgia, Vt., December 13, 1869, and died in Franklin, Mass., November 5, 1949 His death was caused by injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Goss was in college only freshman year and his contact with the class and the College since has been so slight that his death came to the Alumni Recorder's notice when she wrote for information about his son, William C. Goss

At the time of his death Goss was living in retirement in Franklin where until 1945 had been for 10 years Superintendent of Maintenance for Dean and Junior College in that town. Before going to Dean he had for 11 years been Steward at Perkins Institute for the Blind at Watertown, Mass. From Perkins Institute information has been obtained about the varied career upon which Goss entered when he left college. It included 10 years as teller in a savings bank in Barre, Vt., and a period as contract agent for the New England Telephone & Telegraph Co.

Goss came to college from Tunbndge, Vt„ and the report from Dean Academy indicates that the interment was in that town.
