Faculty

REES HIGGS BQWEN '27H, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, died in Lindsborg, Kansas, on February 2. A member of the Dartmouth faculty since 192a, he retired from teaching in June 1952.

Born in Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales, on September 28, 1886, Professor Bowen was married to the former Edla Ingebord Sundstrom of Lindsborg, Kansas, on September 1, 1920. Mrs. Bowen died in July 1950, following an emergency operation, when she and her husband were traveling in England.

Professor Bowen, who spent his boyhood in Wales, received first-hand observations of the lot of the working class in the late Nineties, which led him as a young man to take an active part in advocating the reform policies of Lloyd George and the founders of the Labor Party. Always a humanist and stout defender of the individual, Professor Bowen was known for his fearlessness when espousing a cause or defending a person he believed to be right.

After studying at Ruskin College, Oxford, and the London School of Economics, he received the B.D. degree from Yale Divinity School in 1920, the Ph.D. degree in 1924. Professor Bowen came to Dartmouth originally to serve as chaplain, but asked instead to teach sociology. He was elected a full professor in 1926 and received Dartmouth's honorary M.A. the following year. An omnivorous reader, he combined a remarkable book knowledge with astute observations on the trends and conflicts of an industrial age, many of which he had recognized at their beginnings. His courses dealt with the struggles that accompanied the economic and social cleavages in modern society, and the concomitant political trends in Europe. In dealing with the social backgrounds of contemporary literature, he was a pioneer in what has since come to be known as "The Sociology of Knowledge." For many years Professor Bowen was editor of the Hanover Browsing column in the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE. He was an extensive traveler, having crossed the Atlantic more than 25 times and having visited every country in Europe except the Balkans.

Upon Professor Bowen's retirement in 1950, Prof. Michael Choukas '27 wrote of his colleague: "With his fierce and honest criticism of routine procedures and thinking . . . he has been a veritable Socrates to his colleagues. And like the old Athenian, he did succeed in turning the art of criticism into an instrument of knowledge."

Another colleague, Prof. George F. Theriault '33, wrote of Professor Bowen: "In his view education was an active, informal exploration of important issues to which the student brought an interest in the subject and intellectual curiosity, and in which he stood to gain the most from a well-informed teacher equipped with a critical intelligence to stimulate him to further explorations on his own. Professor Bowen had a well-deserved reputation as one of the most widely read members of the faculty and he had few peers as a critic. . . . Those of us who were his students in the thirties are deeply indebted to him for his erudition, his fine critical sense, his catholicity of interest, and, in a more personal sense, for the warmth and generosity with which he sought to help us."

1892

. CHARLES ALLEN CLARK died on December 27 at his home, 15 Harrison St., Newton Highlands, Mass.

He was born in Peacham, Vt., October 6, 1866, the son of Ephraim W. and Clarissa (Johnson) Clark.

His entire business career was spent in the dry goods business, as a buyer in both the retail and wholesale field, and as a manufacturer of women's clothing. He retired in 1933. He was a member of Dalhousie Masonic Lodge and active in the Newton Highlands Congregational Church.

On June 15, 1904, Mr. Clark was married to Elmira Watson, who died in 1949. He is survived by two sons, Russell W. Clark '26 and Leonard J. Clark '31; and a daughter, Mrs. J. Walter Severinghaus. Prescott Clark '54 and Leonard J. Clark Jr. '56 are grandsons.

1897

JOHN SHACKFORD MESERVE died on January 19 in St. Vincent's Hospital in Los Angeles. His home was at 2223 West 8th St., Los Angeles.

John was born in Oakland, Calif., August 29, 1873, the son of William N. and Abbigail (Shackford) Meserve. In college he was a member of DKE, Casque and Gauntlet, Phi Beta Kappa, the college orchestra, the Aegis Board and was class auditor and president. The Class Secretary had four years in Dover High School with John and roomed with him for three years in college. John was the perfect scholar and made a host of friends.

After receiving his M.D. from Dartmouth in 1900, John practiced for three years in Dover, N. H., where he had been reared in the home of his grandfather, Levi Gerrish Hill, a noted physician who had graduated from Dartmouth Medical School in 1838. John then began practice in Cincinnati, making his home in nearby Norwood. He continued this practice until his retirement in 1951 when he moved to Los Angeles. He had served his city as vice-mayor and president of the Council.

On January 1, 1900, John was married to Edith Johnston Conner who died in 1939. In 1943 he was married to Mrs. Cecelia Catellier who survives him with his four sons, John C., Robert C. Julian H. and Richard J. Meserve '31.

From 1900-04 Fred was principal of the high school in Lunenburg, Mass., and from 1904-06 held the same position in Northboro, Mass. In 1906 he became principal of the high school in Mansfield, Mass., and served in that capacity until 1924, when he became instructor in mathematics in the same school and taught until his retirement in 1943. He then retired to Piermont where he was active in town affairs. At our 50th reunion Fred was proud to see his grandson Bruce Hadlock Keating graduate from Dartmouth.

1904

FREDERICK JAMES ROOT died suddenly of a brain hemorrhage at his home, 44 S. Sunnyslope Ave., Pasadena, Calif., on January 28.

"Fritz," as he was familiarly called by classmates, was born July 16, 1882, in Chicago. He was a grandson of James P. Root, one of the founders of the Chicago Bar Association, and the Illinois campaign manager of Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln's campaign for the Presidency of the United States.

Freddie, after graduation in 1904, attended Tuck School and graduated with the M.C.S. degree in 1905.

While in college, he was a member of DKE and Sphinx. After graduation he became associated with the American Insurance Co. of Newark, N. J., and travelled throughout the Pacific Northwest. Later he became assistant manager of that company's San Francisco office for 25 years, retiring in 1941.

Surviving are his widow, the former Elsinore Brock; a daughter, Barbara Jean, now stationed in Japan with the 8th Army; and a brother, Kenneth E. Root of Chicago. Funeral services were held in Santa Cruz, Calif.

Living so far from Hanover, Freddie rarely got back to Dartmouth for reunion. We remember him with deep affection and it is with sincere sorrow that we, as classmates, record his death.

1906

DAVID JOHN MAIN died of myocardiac failure at St. Luke's Hospital in Denver, Colo., on January 16, at the age of 72, after about three years of serious circulatory ailments. His home was at 2001 E. 7th Ave. Parkway.

Denver rightly thought of Dave as one of its finest citizens. Although he was bora in Nyack, N. Y., he went to school in Denver, married a Denver girl, and after his early childhood made Denver his home. He led in the civic, charitable, and social life of his community. He was a director of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Denver Chapter of the Red Cross; always active in the Community Chest, serving for one year as its campaign manager; a member of the advisory boards of the Denver Orphans Home and the Young Womens Christian Association; a trustee of St. Luke's Hospital Association and of the Colorado Hospital Service; and a director of the Citizens Savings Bank. He was a devout Episcopalian; he had been a choir boy at St. Mark's, and at the time of his death was a member of the vestry in the Church of the Ascension. His clubs included the Denver Club, the Denver Country Club, the Denver Athletic Club, the University Club, and the Dartmouth Club of New York.

Dave came to Dartmouth from the East Denver High School, where he had as classmates three other 1906 men: Blatherwick, Glaze, and McIntire. An excellent athlete, he was for four years a ball-carrying halfback, having enjoyed the honor of playing in the historic game that "christened" the Harvard stadium; and a regular on the baseball team, either catching or playing in the outfield. His successes at college were not due so much to his athletic ability, however, as to his character, friendliness, commonsense, and qualities of leadership. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, Turtle (then the only junior society), and Casque and Gauntlet; captain in his senior year of the football team that beat Harvard, Princeton, and Brown; and always one of the most prominent and best-liked members of his class.

In 1908 he married Antonia E. Bansbach, a member of an old Denver family. She survives him. They had two children. Betty, born in 1909, was graduated cum laude from Smith in 1930, and for several years was secretary to Powers '06. She is married to Henry W. Keyes Jr., son of the former New Hampshire Governor and United States Senator, and of Frances Parkinson Keyes. Dave's other daughter, Mrs. Gretchen Davidson, of Denver, born in 1915, was graduated from the University of Colorado in 1937. Dave was a faithful husband and a loving, understanding, and generous father.

Throughout his life he maintained such a loyal and active interest in Dartmouth that in Denver he was affectionately known as "Lord Dartmouth of the High Country." He was a director of the Alumni Council from 1919 to 1925; president of the General Alumni Association in 1935 and 1936; president of his class from 1946 to 1953; a frequent visitor at Hanover; a cordial host to every Dartmouth man who passed through Colorado; and a constant, liberal contributor whenever funds were needed for his college or his class.

He became highly successful and nationally known in the only business in which he ever engaged, - insurance. Soon after graduation he formed the Main-Harry Insurance Agency in Denver. In 1916 he became a partner in the insurance firm of Standart & Main, which was later incorporated, and since 1931 he has been its president and principal executive officer.

It is appropriate thus to enter in the records the noteworthy facts of his career. To a discerning reader they outline the life of a useful American, the kind of man on whom our country's welfare rests, who never failed to assume, and always manfully sustained, every burden that came within the scope of his duty or offered him the opportunity of helping others whose shoulders were not so strong as his. But this brief entry falls far short of the tribute he has merited.

Only in the hearts of his family and his friends is adequately treasured the memory of the strength, fearlessness, and unruffled optimism, the ability to inspire others with courage and self-confidence, the high character and conduct; in short the never-failing dependability of the good and kindly man who was Dave Main.

192°

ALLEN PRATT STILLMAN, outstanding citizen and loyal Dartmouth man, died on January 12 in Tyler Memorial Hospital, Meshoppen, not far from his home town of Laeeyville, Pa. To his classmates, over the years, Al Stillman and Laeeyville had become synonymous, because his civic leadership in the town where he so long presided over the affairs of Whipple Brothers Lumber Co. was widely appreciated. He was a director of the Grange National Bank there, a former president of the local Rotary Club, a member and former president of the executive board of the hospital where he died, a one-time member of the board of directors of Laeeyville High School, a lay leader of Skinners Eddy Methodist Church, and the holder of various other honors and offices.

Speaking of the part Al played 'in the growth of Tyler Memorial Hospital, his local paper reported:

"He worked tirelessly for the institution which has brought so much comfort to the ill and extended the lives of so many in this area. He served as a member of the executive board of the hospital and as president of the board for the first seven years of its existence. In connection with his humanitarian work he was recently awarded the Benjamin Rush Award by the Medical Society of Pennsylvania for outstanding health services in Wyoming County. Also due to his keen interest in this endeavor, Mr. Stillman was a member of the Advisory Council of the Pennsylvania Society for the Advancement of Medical Research."

Even to the day he died Al remained a member of the Masonic Lodge of Hanover, N. H., an indication of his unflagging interest in Dartmouth since his Tuck School M.C.S. was acquired in 1921. The son of Herman Howard and Genevieve (Pratt) Stillman, he was born in Rochester, N. Y., January 6, 1898, and came to college from Fairhaven High School. At Dartmouth he was active in the college band, the orchestra, and the dramatic association. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

Al married Eleanor Whipple of Laceyville in 1922 and from then until his death was actively identified with the affairs of that community. He served overseas in World War I and later became a member of Rought Hall Post, American Legion, in Laceyville.

Besides his widow, he is survived by three children - a son, David Stillman '51, now of Alexandria, Va.; two daughters, Mrs. Eugenie Patton of Laceyville and Mrs. Joseph Buczynski of Rochester, N. Y.; and four granddaughters. Funeral services were held January 15 at Skinners Eddy Methodist Church and interment took place in Lacey Street Cemetery.

1921

LLOYD SUMNER KING finally succumbed to the ravages of lung cancer on January 8 in Overlook Hospital, Summit, N. J. Rex had been ill since the early part of 1953 when he was operated on for a brain tumor with apparent success. His many friends had hoped that he would fully recover but malignancy developed later that year. Thenceforth, his own determination and the devotion of his wife, "Mickey," kept him alive for more than twelve months.

Rex was born in Summit, N. J., on January 31, 1899, the son of Parker D. and Abbie F. (Van Cise) King. At Summit High School, he not only played tennis, basketball and football but also managed the track and tennis teams. After graduation in 1916 he worked for the New York Telephone Co. for a year before entering Dartmouth. During freshman year he roomed at 29 North Mass. and went Beta Theta Pi.

Rex's military service in the Tank Corps during 1918-19 set him back one year so that he did not get his degree from Dartmouth until 1922. Nevertheless he has always been recorded as a member of 1921. Upon graduating he returned to New York Telephone Co. as a commercial engineer. In 1925 he transferred to New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. where he progressed through the positions of Exchange Rate Engineer, District Manager, Exchange Sales Supervisor, Military Communications Engineer during World War II, to General Service Manager in 1948, which office he held until his illness.

On May 8, 1928, in Cincinnati, O., Rex married Margaret Shanks, Wellesley '24, of Stanford, Ky., known to friends and classmates as "Mickey." They had no children. During his life in his home town of Summit, Rex participated in many civic activities, including the United Campaign, the original Sub-Standard Housing Committee, and in 1950-51 was chairman of the local fund-raising campaign of the American Cancer Society. In addition to Beta Theta Pi, he was a member of Northern New Jersey Dartmouth Club, Newark Athletic Club, Canoe Brook Country Club and the Telephone Pioneers of America.

Rex is survived by his wife; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Parker D. King; a sister, Mrs. Philip N. Trowbridge, all of Summit; and a brother, Dr. Raymond B. King of Denville, N. J.

We understand that the Class of 1921 was represented at the funeral services on January 10 by Ort Hicks, Hoy Schulting, Gus Perkins and Dave Plume. Several classmates have made donations to the American Cancer Society in Rex's memory and others have contributed through Bob MacDonald, Class Treasurer, toward a memorial book for Baker Library. Even such gifts cannot express adequately our sense of loss and our regret that Rex should have to leave us so soon.

1922

Lucius BOOTH SHERMAN JR. passed away January 8 at Evanston Hospital, Evanston, Ill., following a gall stone operation from which he failed to regain consciousness.

Loosh was born in Chicago on October 13, 1899, and prepared for Dartmouth at Lake Forest Academy. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

For the greater part of the twenty years following graduation, Loosh was engaged in the investment field. His business career was interrupted by service in the Navy during World War II, following which he became owner-operator of the Culligan Soft Water Service of Winnetka which he sold in 1948. In recent years, Loosh had become an ardent sports car enthusiast and was an active member of the Sports Car Club of America. He held membership, also, in the Northbrook Trap Club.

1924

CLARENCE LELAND STILWILL died suddenly of a heart attack, on January 10 at his home, 320 East 42nd St., New York City. Brief note of this loss to the Class and to his family was made in the February issue.

Stilly graduated from the Flushing (Long Island) High School in preparation for Dartmouth. While a student here, he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega. He withdrew in June 1922. Although a nongraduate, he was an active member of the Alumni Association, and for many years served with interviewing committees at Great Neck, Long Island, where he resided until late 1953. He had several business connections in real estate and advertising. In May 1944, he became associated with the Ninth Federal Savings and Loan Association of New York, as director of Public Relations. It was in this capacity that he was working when he died.

In 1926 Stilly married the former Mildred Hanson. Susan was born in 1930. His first wife died on February 19, 1954. On September 10, 1954, he remarried. His second wife was Marjorie Bishop Woodward, of Norwalk, Conn., who survives him. He is also survived by his daughter, Mrs. Susan A. Hofford; by his mother, Mrs. Maude Stilwill; and by three sisters: Mrs. Eugene W. Gerbereax, Mrs. Earle W. Beatty, and Mrs. Louis A. Hucts.

1927

DONALD WEEKS BOGAKT died at his home, 205 East 78th St., New York City, on January 28, of a heart attack.

Don, who was an outstanding ophthalmologist, was credited with having performed the first scleral section operation in this country. In 1947 he brought back partial sight, through this operation, to a man in Pottsville, Pa., who had been totally blind for nineteen years.

Born in Warren, Pa., on August 16, 1905, the son of Frank C. and Minnie (Weeks) Bogart, he entered Dartmouth from Warren High School. While in college he was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha, and was a plunger on the swimming team. During the time he was on the team, Dartmouth was almost automatically sure of a first place in the plunge in every meet.

After graduation from Dartmouth, Don taught for a short time in Warren, then entered Cornell Medical School, graduating with an M.D. in 1933. He interned at Lenox Hill Hospital, then became an assistant surgeon at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. In 1940 he was named instructor in surgery and ophthalmology of the graduate school there and director of the photographic department. He also served as an associate visiting ophthalmologist at Bellevue Hospital and assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at New York University. A trustee of the Ophthalmic Surgery Fund, he belonged to the American College of Surgeons, the New York Academy of Medicine, the Pan American Ophthalmological Society and other medical groups. He was a diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology.

Don had written a number of technical treatises, mostly in collaboration with others. The subjects of these included postoperative complications, clinical photography and recession of the trachea.

'32 and Prentiss Carnell Jr. '26, were also associated. Brad was a Navy veteran of World War II and was discharged with the rank of lieutenant commander.

On January 9, GEORGE SUTHERLAND ELMORE died at his home, 5208 - 38 Street, N.W., Washington, D. C., from congestive heart failure.

George was a native of Washington, D. C., where he attended Sidwell Friends School in preparation for Dartmouth. In college, George, a member of Sigma Nu, swam on the freshman swimming team, was a member of the Junto and, prompted by his ambition to follow in the footsteps of his famous grandfather, the late Justice George Sutherland of the United States Supreme Court, was one of the founders of the Dartmouth Lawyers Association.

George received his law degree from the Catholic University of America Law School, after having attended two years at Cornell University Law School. Following World War II, during which he served as a Naval Intelligence Officer, George opened his own administrative and corporate law office in Washington. His thriving practice, however, was interrupted by an attack of edema in October of 1953.

George is survived by his wife, the former Mary Marlow; two children, George Jr., 12, Edith Lee, 9; and by his mother and stepfather, Dr. Walter A. Bloedorn, Dean of the George Washington University Medical School.

The Class and College have lost a good and close friend.

WALTER BUSTARD MAGEE JR. was killed instantly last December 11 when the car which he was driving crashed into the rear end of a trailer truck stalled at night on a highway in Secaucus, N. J. The accident occurred as he was returning to his home from a hospital in Passaic where his father was seriously ill. With him at the time was his wife, the former Dorothy Adams of Hartsdale, Pa., who was critically injured.

Walt was born on February 23, 1917 in Clifton, N. J., the son of Walter B. and Harriet (Smith) Magee. Before entering Dartmouth in 1935, he attended Passaic Collegiate School and Passaic High School, where he was president of his class and the winner of New Jersey State honors as a football player in 1933 and 1934.

At Dartmouth "Maggie" majored in National Problems, played freshman football and varsity lacrosse, and was a member of Beta Theta Pi, Casque and Gauntlet, Palaeopitus and Green Key. During each of four college years he was elected president of his class and at graduation time was again elected to that office for a five year term. He also was chairman of the committee for his class' 15th reunion.

He was associated with Bamberger's department store in Newark, N. J., from 1939 until 1941, when he resigned to enlist as an aviation cadet in the Army Air Force. He rose to the rank of major, serving in the Pacific area as a pilot and as Squadron Commander and later Air Inspector of the 18th Fighter Group, 13th Air Force.

Following his release from service in 1947, he worked for a public relations firm in Phoenix, Ariz., for several months while recuperating from malaria. Late in 1947 he returned to Bamberger's where he became a department manager before leaving in 1949 to become assistant to the president of Seaforth Co., a New York cosmetics house. He later became general sales manager of that company, but resigned in 1952 to become associated with the Young & Rubicam advertising agency in New York as an account executive, a position which he held at the time of his death.

In addition to his wife and his parents, Walt is survived by four children, Cynthia, Walter Jr., Patricia and John. He made his home at 543 Hillside Terrace, West Orange, N. J., and was a member of the Orange Lawn Tennis Club and the University Club of Bridgeport, Conn.
