Faculty

STEPHAN JOHANN SCHLOSSMACHER, Professor of German, died of a heart attack on March 5. He had just attended an evening meeting of Germania, of which he was faculty adviser, and collapsed outside Robinson Hall. Rushed to the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Professor Schlossmacher had suffered a heart attack while abroad in the summer of 1957, and at the time of his death he was recovering from a recurrence which had hospitalized him earlier in the winter.

Professor Schlossmacher had been a member of the Dartmouth faculty since 1930. In that year he encouraged the founding of Germania, the undergraduate German club, for which he was adviser all these years. The club, supplementing the German courses offered by the College, was a large part of his life. Its program was cultural as well as fraternal, and its plays in German, directed by Professor Schlossmacher, were an outstanding part of Dartmouth's dramatic offerings each year. These Germania productions were taken to Canada for many years, and in the summers of 1953 and 1954 the club toured Germany presenting a group of classical one-act plays. When Dr. Theodor Heuss, West German President, visited Dartmouth last June to receive an honorary degree, Germania presented a special play: Goethe, for him.

Professor Schlossmacher was born January 26, 1897 in Eschweiler, Germany, and was educated at the Staats Gymnasium in Bonn and the Kaiser Wilhelm Gymnasium in Cologne. Following service with the German army and the Red Cross in World War I, he was a graduate student at the Universities of Bonn, Innsbruck and Freiburg from 1931 to 1925. He came to the United States in 1926 and was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin from 1928 to 1930. In the latter year he received his Master's degree from the university and joined the Dartmouth faculty as Instructor in German. He received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Cologne in 1935, and became Assistant Professor at Dartmouth the following year. He received Dartmouth's honorary faculty M.A. degree upon his election to a full professorship in 1955. Professor Schlossmacher was the author of a book, The German Drama in American College and University Theaters, published in Germany in 1938. He became a U. S. citizen in 1939.

Professor Schlossmacher was a member of the Modern Language Teachers Association, the American Association of Teachers of German, and the American Association of University Professors.

A requiem mass was celebrated in the St. Denis Church, Hanover, on March 9. Professor Schlossmacher was not married, and there were no close relatives.

1899

ARTHUR DEAN WIGGIN died in the Exeter, N. H., Hospital on February 10 of an unsuspected liver tumor. A Masonic service was held on February 12; a Congregational service followed on February 13. Committal will occur in May at Barton, Vt.

Born in Barton, January 1, 1874, son of William Thomas and Jane Melissa (Batchelder) Wiggin, Art prepared for Dartmouth at Barton Academy and Lyndon Institute. In classroom, dormitory, and on athletic field his rugged individualism was early recognized.

In 1900 he married Edith Mabel Buggy; by 1909 he had three children, and had been high school principal in Troy, Vt., Milton, N. H., Topsfield, Mass., and Woodstock, Vt. Then came a dramatic move to the principalship of the Great Falls, Montana, High School, where both Surrey and Tootell had previously taught. The whole family became genuine Montanians. In Great Falls, and later at Simms and Raynesford, he was active in church and community work. He also "proved up" 160 acres of government land and leased 640 acres of state land.

In 1917. however, the deaths of father and brother brought him back to New England. He became superintendent of the seven-town Windham Northwest District, then principal of Danville, Vt., High School. There, with his wife's death in 1923, his hopes of returning to Montana ended. Schools instead in Goffstown, Rye, and Pittsburgh, N. H., followed. In 1928 Wig was married again, to Glenna Dow Eaton, herself a teacher. In 1930 a daughter was born, but in 1933 his only son Harold died.

Then, in the middle of the depression, Wig became a manufacturer of wooden heels. Along with success in this venture came the joy of another son in 1940, and the thrill of reunions with '99 classmates in New England. He bought the old Shute Mansion in Exeter; gave up his work because of rheumatism; but helped the war effort by daily commuting for a year to Portsmouth Navy Yard to serve as a welder's helper. Thereafter, he devoted himself to reading, study, and the enjoyment of his increasing family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "His mind," says his daughter Jane, "was as agile at 85 as at 25."

But accidental death came to his business associate and son-in-law; his own devoted wife Glenna died with equal suddenness; and his son finished high school and left home to enter the Navy. A few months more brought Wig himself to the end of the trail.

Survivors include three daughters, Ruth, Mrs. Donovan Chase, Port Jarvis, N. Y.; Dorothy, Mrs. Earl M. Ray, and Jane, Mrs. Lyle Robillard, both of Exeter; one son, Arthur W., of Exeter; n grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Leo Wilson and Mrs. Alma Wylie, of Great Barrington, Mass. To them the Class of '99 extends sincere sympathy.

Bill Wiggin was 14th in direct line from the original Wiggin who had a grant in New Hampshire from the Crown. Bill said once "I'd like to take the meanest job in the world to see what I could make of it."
