Following his graduation in 1905 from Harvard Medical School he began practice in Claremont and so continued until, in 1949, increasing defects of vision resulted in his retirement. He and Mrs. Brooks then went to live with their daughter Nancy and her family. They had annual visits with their other daughter Peg and her family 'in Royal Oaks, Mich.

Despite his visual handicap Bob happily had developed many resources of interests and hobbies which kept him pleasantly and usefully occupied. He continued to be a regular attendant at 1900 reunions and round-ups. He was present at the 55th last June in Hanover. To" others who were there his general health seemed to be excellent - so that word of his sudden passing came as a shock. At the memorial service he presented an engrossed scroll as a tribute to deceased classmates.

Distance from New England and the requirement of extensive travel in his work prevented Jed's more frequent attendance at 1900 reunions and round-ups, although he was present at the 20th and the 40th reunions. That he cherished his Dartmouth and 1900 associations was reflected in many ways. Modest and reserved he was a highly respected man and a useful citizen.

"DB's" exceedingly active and successful career was interrupted in 1930 when he became the victim of mental illness.

It is noteworthy that during the entire period of his illness he maintained a lively interest in the affairs of his classmates and of Dartmouth.

He is survived by his widow, Jeannette (Arnold) whom he married in 1902; a daughter, Constance (Mrs. Harry B. Milner) of New Rochelle, N. Y.; and by a son, Arnold Rich '31, White Plains, N. Y. Ernest Bradlee Watson '02 is a cousin.

Bom at Johnstown, Pa., Jack graduated from New York Military Academy before coming to Dartmouth, where he was a member of Theta Delta Chi.

While Jack had been out of touch with Dartmouth affairs in recent years, all of us who knew him in Hanover will share his loss with his wife, Marguerite, of Carmel.

The death of FREDERICK KELLER UHLEMANN comes as a real shock to all' of us. Fred prepared for college at the Chicago Latin School and at Dartmouth was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha. For some years Fred has been secretary, treasurer and director of the R. G. Uhlemann Fur Company in Chicago. He attended our 25th reunion.

Since graduation Fred has devoted a tremendous amount of his natural enthusiasm to Dartmouth matters, being treasurer of the Chicago Dartmouth Alumni Club, a member of the Executive Committee of the Class, a most active and effective Class Agent, and his loss will be felt deeply by both the Class and the College because he has given so much of himself to them.

Fred leaves his mother, Mrs. Clara Uhlemann, as well as a sister. The Class was represented at the funeral by Hank H. Embree.

RODERICK FORSYTH GREIG died suddenly on July 27 at his home, 724 Townsend Place, Niagara Falls, N. Y. Although his passing was unexpected Rod had been in poor health for over a year.

With a fine war record behind him, he became associated with the Judge Advocate's Office in the Pentagon. The strain of this work contributed to his final illness.

ARTHUR ROY MOFFATT of Norwich, Vt., died September 14 of shock and exposure when a canoe in which he was making a trip through Northern Canada capsized in the rapids of the Dubawnt River 400 miles west of Hudson Bay. Art was the leader of five college canoeists making the trip. Two of the three canoes in the party capsized and although all six men managed to reach shore, Art died an hour later despite all efforts to revive him.

Art's experience with long canoe trips across the Canadian frontier began in 1937 when he paddled alone down the Albany River to Hudson Bay in forty days - a 700-mile trip which a Canadian government publication recommends be "taken with two guides." He made the same trip in 1948, 1950, 1952, 1953 and 1954. when he acted as leader and guide for college youths.

Art was born May 4, 1919, the son of W. I. Moffatt of Syosset, L. I., and the late Mrs. Rose Steck Moffatt. Before going to Dartmouth, Arthur attended Friends Academy in Locust Valley, L. I. After his graduation from Dartmouth, he served with the American Field Service as an ambulance driver in Africa, Sicily and Italy during World War II.

On July 21, 1945, he was married to Carol Sengstack of Huntington, L. I. From 1946 to 1948 Art and his wife were English instructors at the University of Utah. Then they moved to Norwich and after two years as a free lance writer he conducted his first canoe trip as a guide. From 1950 to the Spring of 1952 he was editor of Ski magazine.

In addition to his wife and father, he leaves two daughters, Creigh 4 and Deborah 2. The Class of 1941 has lost one of its finest and extends its sympathy to his family.

TIMOTHY WRIGHT ELLIS was drowned in Lake Erie on September 11, following a boating mishap. He had apparently gone fishing alone. His inboard was found floating and out of gas ten miles out on the lake. Tim must have been thrown from the boat and it was some days before his body was recovered.

Tim entered Dartmouth as a freshman in 1951, having graduated from the Nichols School. He made the most of his four years in Hanover. He was more than active extracurricularly, participating in freshman and varsity hockey as well as rugby.

He was active in Beta Theta Pi fraternity, the Casque and Gauntlet Senior Society, the Undergraduate Council, the Dartmouth Christian Union and the Human Rights Society.

Tim was a pre-medical student and planned to return to Dartmouth this tall to complete his studies.

Tim was the epitome of the Dartmouth man a gentleman, an athlete and a student. Most of all, he was more than a friend to all who knew him. The entire Class of 1955 sends its deepest sympathy to his father, Mr. Charles C. Ellis, 52 Tillinghast Place, Buffalo, N. Y.
