For many years he taught a year's survey course in the general history of England and one-semester courses in English constitutional history and in the British Empire" He was chairman of the Department of History from 1929 to 1931. For some years he was associated with the College Entrance Examination Board and served as head reader in English and European history.

Professor Basye was the author of LordCommissioners of Trade and Plantations,1748-1782, as well as of articles in the American Historical Review and numerous book reviews in historical journals. At one time he was a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of London. He had traveled and studied in England and on the Continent in 1912, 1921 and 1932.

Professor Basye was born in New Market, Indiana. After receiving his A.B. degree from the University of Kansas in 1904, he taught at the high school in Parsons, Kansas for one year and then returned to the university to take his Master's degree in 1906. The two following years were spent at Yale studying for his Ph.D. degree which he completed in 1917. Meanwhile he had joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1908 as Instructor in History. He became Assistant Professor in 1914 and Professor in 1925. Professor Basye taught summer school at the University of Kansas in 1917 and at the University of Michigan in 1927. He also taught at the University of Minnesota for one semester of the academic year 1917-18.

LLOYD PRESTON RICE, M.A. '34, Professor of Economics Emeritus, who died May 10 after a long illness, was praised by his colleagues in a resolution presented last month. "Professor Rice," they said, "was a thorough and conscientious teacher and inspired his students with his zeal for exact and careful analysis. As a member of the Department of Economics he gained the respect and devotion of his colleagues by his loyalty, his dedication to high standards and his willingness to play his full part in all departmental undertakings.... In his death the members of the Department of Economics have lost a loyal colleague, Dartmouth College an able scholar, and the community at large an outstanding citizen."

Professor Rice, who retired in 1956 because of ill health, taught at Dartmouth for 36 years, joining the faculty in 1920 as Assistant Professor and becoming a full Professor in 1934. He was an authority on taxation and public finance and gave courses in those fields as well as in general economics. He served as chief economic analyst for the U. S.

FRANKLIN NORTON NEWELL, Dartmouth's oldest living graduate, died in Springfield, Mass., on July 17 after a long illness, at the age of 98.

He was born in Weathersfield, Vt., April 14, 1860, the son of Charles Wesley and Amanda (Norton) Newell. He recalled listening from his third floor room in Dartmouth Hall to Richard Hovey reciting to an invisible audience from the steps of Dartmouth Hall, late at night, dramatic passages from Shakespeare.

He later moved to Springfield, Mass., where he continued his law practise for some years. He was a high school principal for a few years and taught business law and government at American International College.

During his life Mr. Newell had three hobbies—horses, fishing and gardening. As a young man he owned, and broke to saddle, ponies from the Western plains. One of his proudest possessions was a thoroughbred Kentucky horse, a descendant of the famous Lexington. Perhaps his next proudest moment was when he caught and displayed to an admiring crowd the largest black bass ever caught, up to that time, in Lake Winnepesaukee.

His greatest hobby, gardening, he pursued up to the time of his death. He became particularly interested in raising European grapes.' In his vineyard outside the city he spent the summer months living in a tent and caring for his 250 vines. When the grapes were ripe he would put a sign beside the road "Grapes Are Ready" and people would come from far and wide to select their choice from about 20 varieties. He once said "The afternoon of life comes to all of us, but the late afternoon is generally the most beautiful part of a long day."

In 1949 Mr. Newell, with two others of the five surviving members of his class, returned to Hanover for reunion. This joyful remembrance lasted throughout the rest of his life.

1900

JAMES BROWN WOODMAN passed away June 28 at the Franklin, N. H., Hospital which he had helped to found, and of which he had been resident surgeon for more than 45 years. His death of a heart ailment was quite unexpected.

He had expected to leave Franklin, but, as Jim remarked at a testimonial dinner given in his honor in 1955, "I have been too busy for more than 50 years, to do it."

Jim's career in Franklin was that of the now old-fashioned family physician. For 54 years he met his share of the medical and surgical needs of the community.

In World . War I he was chief surgical officer, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, of a large base hospital in France. He was a member of the American Medical Association, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and had served as president of various medical and surgical organizations of New England.

With ten years' experience as a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and St. LouisDemocrat and various motor periodicals, he went on to thrilling experiences as reporter for the Chicago Daily News in the war years of 1914-1919.

Members of the Class will be sorry to learn of the death on June 11 in Tokyo of GEORGE CHANG. George had made his home in Tokyo where he was a member of the staff of Central News Agency of China (Nationalist).

George was connected with the Central Bank of China for some years, but most of his career was spent in newspaper work with

the Central News Agency. George was married in 1943 to Lucia Chao and had four children, Lily, Betty, Eunice and Robert.

A friend writes: "For several years George had given much of his time and energy to the development of the Dartmouth community in Tokyo, a difficult and sometimes discouraging job because of the frequent turnover of the membership, most of whom are service personnel. But George loved the club and this together with his warm personality and talent for recruiting did much to keep the meetings going month after month whether the gatherings were large or small. George will be deeply missed by all of us here and the College itself has lost a most valuable friend."

The Class will deeply regret the loss of ROBERT JOSEPH GLASGOW who died on August 2 at his home, 255 S. Ridge Rd., Lake Forest, Ill.
