He was born in Perry, Maine, October 11, 1871. In college he was a member of Theta Delta Chi and Phi Beta Kappa.

After graduation, Frank taught for three years at Kimball Union Academy and for the next three years at Mount Hermon. After two years as Principal of Nichols Academy he went to Columbia for graduate work and received his A.M. in 1906. From 1906 to 1909 Frank was superintendent of schools in Hillsboro, N. H. In 1909 he became superintendent of schools for Ayer, Shirley and Boxboro, Mass., and remained in this position until his retirement in 1945.

1899

PHILIP HAROLD WINCHESTER died at his home, 659 Allen St., Syracuse, N. Y. of an aneurysm on December 22. He and his wife returning from a drive, were welcomed by girls and boys from their church singing Christmas songs. They went inside, where Phil joined the singing. Later in the evening without warning, the end came. Services at the Garfield Funeral Home were conducted by Rev. Arthur W. Mielke, pastor of the Park Central Presbyterian Church. Floral tributes included red roses from '99. Cremation was at Waterville, interment in the Syracuse family lot.

Phil was born February 14, 1876, in Portland, Maine, the son of Charles Hiram and Mary Speare (Weeks) Winchester. He graduated from Portland High as salutatorian in 1895. Entering Dartmouth in September he began preparing to teach physics and chemistry. Waiting at Hallgarten on some Thayer School students, however, he became interested in engineering, and presently entered that school. He graduated B.S. in 1899, with Phi Beta Kappa rank, and in 1900 received his C.E. diploma. As an undergraduate he sang in the Chapel Choir, belonged to the Dramatic Club, played piccolo in the College Orchestra, and flute in the College Band. He was a charter member of Phi Kappa Psi, won first prize in freehand drawing, and for three years roomed at Shattuck Observatory, acting as janitor for the celestial regions.

His engineering career was a 46-year succession of ever-increasing responsibilities with the New York Central Railroad: foreman, inspector of masonry, transit man, assistant engineer, assistant train master. In 1908 he faced the climactic test: 43 days to construct a spur track over difficult terrain to a new site for army maneuvers. When the last spike was driven home on the 42nd night the neophyte engineer's future was secure. He became engineer of the St. Lawrence Division, then engineer of the new Syracuse Division, and there, until his retirement in May 1945, he carried on the entire Maintenance of Way Department. In 1935 came the elimination of grade crossings in Syracuse itself: 30 bridges to build, 34 miles of track to lay. Finally, in 1941, came the war, when with constant duties as bond salesman, block warden, and Ration Board member he also salvaged countless tons of scrap and somehow incidentally transported super-loads of men, munitions and materiel.

On September 18, 1902 Phil married Anna H. Hitchcock of Watertown, N. Y., who died in 1929. On September 7, 1945 he married Sarah B. Leete of Syracuse, who survives him, as does Robert Hitchcock Winchester '28 of Trenton, N. J., his son by his first marriage. "P" Winchester went at everything quietly but hard. Besides his active membership in the local Presbyterian Church he was a 32nd degree Mason and life member of Media Temple, Watertown; active also in the Rotary Club, the Syracuse Technology Club, the American Railway Engineering Association, and an advisor in the Dartmouth Society of Engineers. And he helped found the Syracuse Dartmouth Club, later known as the Dartmouth Club of Central New York.

During Phil's busy life there were occasional trips to the Panama Canal, Washington, Florida, the West Coast, and after retirement long summer vacations with Sadie at his Adirondack cabin on Limekiln Lake. But no recreation surpassed that of trips to Boston '99 Round-Ups or to Hanover for class reunions and for meetings of Dartmouth class officers Since 1954 he had been class secretary, and his 18-year record as class agent is execeded by few.

Complete friendliness, Christian ideals, keen intelligence, patient attention to detail have marked all his work. Once he said, "I have done all I could, sometimes with mighty little to do it with." That, plus a smile, was "P" Winchester.

Dartmouth men everywhere will remember Aud Brindley as one of the College's all-time great athletes. More important, his magnetic personality and fine sense of humor tempered by his seriousness of purpose endeared him to his countless friends. Dartmouth College has lost one of her most loyal and illustrious sons.
