I wish to state something of my knowledge of the man and his great ability in working out the tangled web of municipal corporate affairs; as a receiver in my court he has handled matters in such a masterly manner and with such consummate skill as to reflect great credit both upon himself, as an expert and skillful engineer, but also upon the court through the fact he was a receiver."

He prepared for college at Lancaster Academy and was a member of Phi Delta Theta and Phi Beta Kappa. After graduating with the Class in 1895 he read law and was admitted to the N. H. Bar in 1898.

Beginning the practice of law in his home town, Fred continued in private practice until 1917 when he was appointed Clerk of the Coos County Superior Court. He resigned from active service in 1948 on the fiftieth anniversary of his admission to the bar. He was then dean of New Hampshire's superior court clerks. From 1913-42 he also served as Municipal Judge in Lancaster.

Fred's attention to detail made his performance as an administrative officer of the courts win the commendation of judges and lawyers alike. Young lawyers whom he guided kindly through the labyrinths of forms and procedures spoke warmly of the help he had given them. The same attention to detail which had characterized his work, Fred put into his hobby of woodworking. In the woodworking shop in the basement of his home, with his lathes, drill presses and jig-saws he turned out intricate toys for his grandson, and even clocks and boats.

1921

DR. ARTHUR WARREN DURYEA passed away in his sleep from a heart attack on January 14, at Palm Springs, Calif. Burial followed in that city. Most of his classmates knew that he had been gravely ill since February 1953, when he suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage while living near Washington, D. C., at Silver Spring, Md.

Art was born in Roxbury, Mass., February 14, 1896, the son of Clinton Philip Duryea and Alice Elizabeth Adelstein. He prepared for college at Roxbury Latin School, matriculated at Brown University in September 1915 and became a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity. Apparently World War I caused him to leave Brown in April 1917, and, after completing some war service, he studied at both Harvard and Boston Universities in 1918.

In September 1919, Art joined the Class of 1921 at Dartmouth and lived at 25 School St. He had definitely decided upon the medical profession and devoted himself so arduously to his objective that he completed all of the requirements for a B.A. degree and the two-year course of the Dartmouth Medical School by June 1921, when he graduated with Phi Beta Kappa rank. During senior year he found time to join Alpha Kappa Kappa medical fraternity and to have charge of the Isolation Hospital.

In 1923 Columbia University awarded Art his M.D. degree. Following his internship he practiced in Honolulu, Hawaii, for twenty years. As one of the founders of the Dartmouth Club of Hawaii in 1927, .Art initiated regular programs to interest boys from the local preparatory schools in attending Dartmouth.

At the 15th reunion of his class in 1936 Art received the award for coming the greatest distance. With his wife and two daughters, he covered 19,000 miles by automobile while visiting the Dionne quintuplets and attending numerous institutes and conferences on the latest methods of treating goiter, cancer and other diseases.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Art worked day and night until high blood pressure and coronary trouble forced him to rest and restore his health. He later claimed he had had every illness from tuberculosis to coronary disease.

After World War II Art served as a chief physician for the Veterans Administration, including two years each at veterans' hospitals in Alexandria, La., and St. Louis, Mo. When he was stricken in 1953 he was an area section chief for eight states and thirty installations.

Art was one of the few married students during his two years at Dartmouth. He had married Anne Maidment in New York City, November 9, 1918. Their first daughter, Helen Iselin, was born December 15, 1921, and a second girl, Suzanne Alice, arrived May 7, 1926. Helen married George P. Gould in 1945 and that same year her sister became the bride of Dean Witt. Meanwhile Art and Anne were divorced in December 1939. On August 1, 1940, Art married7 Gertrude Cockrill in Honolulu and June 5, 1945,' their son, Arthur Warren Jr., was, born. During a later visit to Hanover this boy. was registered by his dad as an applicant for Dartmouth 1963.

Despite the several gaps in the story of Art's life, a definite picture emerges of a man whose keen mind and .unselfish desire to serve his fellow man drove him repeatedly beyond his physical strength. He truly upheld the finest traditions of his profession.

1922

DONALD ADAMS SWEET passed away March 9, in Schenectady, N. Y., at the home of his sister Mrs. Stanley R. Putnam of 1103 Lexing. ton Ave., where he had lived about a year.

Funeral services were conducted March 12 in Rochester. Don is survived by a brother, Carlyle W. Sweet '17 and two sisters, Mrs. Stanley R. Putnam and Mrs. F. L. H. Sjostrom.

1925

It has been learned that KENNETH ELLSWORTH SMITH died on February 24 in Baltimore, Md., but no further details are avail able.

He was born in Bay City, Mich., on June 12, 1902, the son of Carman Newcomb and Isabel (Bigelow) Smith, and attended Bay City Eastern High School. After graduation from Dartmouth, he worked for four years in Melbourne, Australia, serving as district manager for General Motors during much of this period. Returning to the United States, he was in business in Fort Wayne, Ind., and Minneapolis, Minn., until 1936, when he became district manager in St. Paul for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co., later representing this firm in Philadelphia and Baltimore. In 1948 he went into business for himself as a manufacturers' sales agent in the latter city. Since then, there has been no further information from or about him.

He was married in Melbourne, on June 9, 1926, to Martha Bartlett of Minneapolis. A daughter Juliana, is now Mrs. Donald Munschauer, of 3724 Nortonia Road, Baltimore, and it was from her that word of his death came.

Ken was a member of Psi U and C. and G. Your secretary remembers him as a fellow-member of the Arts, but has had no contact with him since we graduated; more information from those who knew him better would be appreciated. These instances, fortunately rare, of men drifting out of touch are particularly distressing when death puts an end to any hope of renewing the association. But he was one of us, none the less. The Class will make its customary gift to the Baker Library in his memory. Ave atque Vale.

1934

DAVID HENNING EDDY died on December 28 in Washington, D. C.
