Faculty

CHESTER HUME FORSYTH, M.A. '39, Professor of Mathematics, Emeritus, died November 2 at the Albany (N, Y.) Memorial Hospital, from injuries received in an automoble accident on Route 5 near Colonie, N. Y. He and Mrs. Forsyth were driving to Florida for the winter when their car was hit broadside at an intersection. Both were rushed to the hospital, where Professor Forsyth died some hours later. Mrs. Forsyth, less seriously injured, was released from the hospital after confinement of a little more than a week. Dartmouth alumni in the Albany-Schenectady area were solicitous and volunteered their help.

Professor Forsyth, 79 years old, retired as a Dartmouth mathematics teacher in 1951 after being on the faculty for 35 years. The Trustees elected him to his emeritus position in that year. He came to the College as an instructor in 1916, and two years later was promoted to assistant professor. The rank of full professor was voted to him in 1939, at which time he received the honorary faculty M.A. degree. His specialties were the mathematics of insurance and the mathematics of finance and business statistics, in both of which he taught advanced courses. He was the author of Log and Antilog Tables (19-15) and of three other books, Statistical Analysis (1924), Life Insurance (1924), and Mathematical Theory of Finance (1928). He also wrote more than sixty papers in his fields of special interest.

Professor Forsyth was born in Trafalgar, Indiana, March 17, 1881. He received his A.B. degree from Butler College in 1906 and his M.A. in 1910 from the University of Illinois, where he was an instructor from 1907 to 1911. He then became instructor at the University of Michigan where he taught until 1916, except for one year (1912-13) at Eureka College, and where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1915. From Michigan he came to Dartmouth in 1916. During part of 1918 he served in the Army at Plattsburg, N. Y.

Professor Forsyth was married June 14, 1913 to Louise Ann James of Amboy, Ill. He is survived by his wife and by a daughter Jane, who is now Mrs. David William Lantis. Professor Forsyth was a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Gamma Alpha, and Delta Tau Delta fraternities. He was fond of travel in this country and abroad, and in his earliest years on the Dartmouth faculty he had conducted several touring parties to Europe. He liked to tell the story of how on two occasions, in Germany and Austria, he was arrested as a spy suspect. Professor Forsyth was a familiar figure on the Hanover golf course and even in his 70's he continued to play the game, sometimes with just a single club. He took great pleasure in his numerous faculty, town, and student friendships, and after his retirement he could be found on sunny mornings on the porch of College Hall watching the Hanover scene, which he knew so intimately and in which he took such delight.

CHARLES ARTHUR HOLDEN, Professor of Civil Engineering, Emeritus, died at a nursing home in Concord, N. H., on October 12.

He was born in Hudson, Mass., July 18, 1872, and attended the Hudson schools. A member of Sigma Chi and Phi Beta Kappa, Mr. Holden spent three years after graduation in the engineering department of the Boston & Albany Railroad and then taught civil engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute for two years.

After receiving his C.E. degree from Thayer School in 1901, Mr. Holden began his long career as a teacher at Dartmouth. Starting as an instructor in civil engineering at Thayer School, he became a full professor in 1908 was director of the School, 1919-25. From 1925 to his retirement in 1937 he taught civil engineering in the College.

Mr. Holden's engineering talents were constantly called upon. He served as resident hydrographer for the U. S. Geological Survey, 1900-04, and from 1916 to 1937 he was the engineer for New Hampshire on the New Hampshire-Vermont boundary case. An authority on water conservation and power distribution, he served on many commissions in this field.

Mr. Holden served the Town of Hanover in many capacities: as chairman of the Precinct Commissioners, 1913-16; member of the Board of Selectmen, 1923-39, and chairman 1930-39; member of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital and the Dartmouth Savings Bank corporations; and president of the Rotary Club. In 1925 he was elected to represent Hanover in the New Hampshire General Court. He was again elected in 1941 and served until he retired in 1954, the oldest representative in the legislature. He was a delegate to the Republican national conventions in 1944 and 1948, and a member of the New Hampshire Constitutional Conventions 1938, 1941 and 1948.

Deeply devoted to Dartmouth, Mr. Holden had been treasurer of his class for many years. He was chairman of the committee which in 1910 drew up the constitution for the Dartmouth Secretaries Association. At this same time he was chairman of a committee set up to inform desirable preparatory school students about Dartmouth, the precursor of our present enrollment committees.

A member of many engineering societies, he was also particularly active in the Sons of the American Revolution.

On June 19, 1900 Mr. Holden was married to Gertrude May Robinson, who died on April so, 1941. He is survived by a nephew and several nieces.

1896

THOMAS CAVERNO HAM died in Arlington, Mass., on October 29. He was born in Barrington, N. H., May 29, 1874.

After graduating from Dartmouth, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and D.K.E., Mr. Ham was engaged in the school book business for several years, first with J. L. Hammett Co. and later with Scribner's. From 1902 to 1909 he was associated with the American Steel and Wire Co. In 1909 he became associated with Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. and remained with them for 36 years, first as assistant manager of exports, then as district sales manager in Philadelphia. From 1938 to his retirement in 1946 he was manager of student training, which involved training college men in the fundamentals of the industry. This, Mr. Ham felt, was his best contribution to the industry.

During World War I, Mr. Ham took an active part in Red Cross work and liberty bond drives. In Arlington, where he had made his home for many years, he was interested in local affairs and twice had been president of the Golden Age Club. He was for many years a vestryman in the Episcopal Church.

Mr. Ham had served his Class as secretary, treasurer and class agent and was always faithful in attendance at meetings of class officers. His efforts over the years in keeping the Class closely knit together were in large part responsible for the distinguished financial contribution the Class has made to the College. When the Guy C. Richards bequest was made providing scholarship aid to lineal descendants of members of the Class of 1896, Mr. Ham spent many months trying to contact members of '96 families.

Previous to his death, Mr. Ham had set UP a fund under the Separately Invested Endowment Funds of the College. This fund is carried on the books of the College as the Thomas C. Ham '96 and Family Fund. Extremely proud of his own family, Mr. Ham published in 1949 a Genealogy of theHam Family. Ten of the men mentioned had attended Dartmouth.

On January 15, 1902 Mr. Ham was married to Lola Trickey, who died in 1932. On October 22, 1936 he married Kate McCann Randall (widow of William J. Randall '96), who died in 1947.

Franklin Irwin Jr. ('37), currently serving with her husband in the State Department in San Jose, Costa Rica; and a brother, William H. Ham '97 of Bridgeport, Conn.

1899

FREDERICK JOSEPH CROLIUS, one of Dartmouth's all-time athletic greats, died at a Daytona Beach nursing home on August 25. "Fritz" retired to Florida in 1956 but had been in ill health for the past three years. Services, attended by many local friends, were held at the Woodward-Lowther Funeral Home, and after cremation his ashes were sent to Mt. Auburn Cemetery, near Boston, to be buried beside the remains of his wife Ethel.

Fritz married Ethel Sophia Tucker of Newton Upper Falls, Mass., on Dec. 23, 1901. She was an accomplished pianist and singer, and was active in large choral groups in New York and Pittsburgh. She died May 23, 1942. They had two sons: Lawrence, head of motion picture services with the RCA Missile Test Project at Cape Canaveral, Fla., and Newell Tucker of Yarmouth, Maine, state sales agent for the American Mutual Liability Insurance Co. Four grandchildren and a sister, Mrs. William Raynor of Center Moriches, N. Y., also survive.

Fritz was born in Jersey City, N. J., on December 16, 1876, and was brought up in Waltham, Mass., where his father was a metallurgist in the watch industry. He attended high school there before entering Dartmouth.

His athletic career at Dartmouth included four years in varsity baseball, and four years in varsity football, the latter climaxed by becoming captain in his senior year. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, Theta Nu Epsilon, Casque and Gauntlet, and was class president his freshman winter term.

Fritz coached the Bowdoin College football team in 1899; was a member of the Boston National League baseball team in 1901, the famous Homestead Professional Football Team in 1902, and the Pittsburgh National League team in 1903; and coached Western University of Pennsylvania (now Pitt) in 1903. He also was assistant coach of the West Point and Syracuse football teams in 1906-7-8; athletic director and coach of baseball and football at Villanova College 1909-11; and a member of the Football Officials Association, 1912-27.

Following his athletic career he moved to Pittsburgh and became superintendent of power production with Carnegie Steel Co. He developed a lasting interest in metallurgy, particularly stainless steel and special alloys. He became editor of Blast Furnace and SteelPlant magazine in 1921, resigning a few years later to become a consulting engineer in the steel industry. He helped to organize and operate the Centrifix Corp., Barium Steel Co., Standard Stainless Steel Co., and held patents in the stainless steel field. He was a member of the Western Pennsylvania Engineering Society, and was associated with the Smith Steel Supply Co. of Pittsburgh before retiring to Florida.

Fritz Crolius was a man with boundless energy and enthusiasm, whether in athletics or business. His varied activities kept him away from New England most of his later life, but in contacts with old friends he frequently revealed how important to him were his memories of Hanover days.

1901

MORTIMER LEGGETT CROWELL, always affectionately known as "Whiskers," passed away at the Crile Hospital in Cleveland on October 24.

He was born September 24, 1879, in Glenville, Ohio. Educated in the public schools, he graduated from Cleveland High School in 1897 and entered Dartmouth with this class.

At the outbreak of the Spanish War in the spring of 1898 he left Hanover and enlisted in the 1st Ohio Cavalry, U. S. Volunteers. Late in the fall of sophomore year he returned to college. Not only was he popular in his own class, but other classes came to know and admire him for his friendly manner.

A member of Alpha Delta Phi, he was elected to Theta Nu Epsilon sophomore society and Sphinx.

Most of his business life was spent in Cleveland. In 1907 he formed Crowell & Smith Co., heating and ventilating engineers and contractors, of which he was president and general manager. He was elected president of the Ohio chapter of the American Heating and Ventilating Engineers and was also president of the Heating and Piping Contractors Association of Cleveland. Later he was connected with the Hill-Acme Co., makers of machine tools, from which he retired in 1954.

Mortie was married June 5, 1906 to Zoe McDaniel, who passed away February 2, 1953. Their family life was an unusually happy one. Surviving are two sons, Mortimer L. Jr. '29 and Major William B.; and three daughters, Mrs. Robert M. Goodell, Mrs. Richard N. Goodell, Mrs. Dennis E. Moonan and eleven grandchildren. John Crowell '03 was a brother.

"Whiskers" Crowell was beloved by all his friends. He was warm-hearted and had a sunny smile which was most contagious. An enthusiastic and loyal Dartmouth man, he rarely ever missed a class reunion. He served as president of the Northern Ohio Alumni Association at one time. He will be missed by the Class who knew and loved him, as well as by his many friends and associates. Our sincere sympathy goes to his family.

1904

CHARLES KINGSLEY WOODBRIDGE passed away in London of a heart attack on October 16.

He was born in Salmon Falls, N. H., October 3, 1881, and graduated from the Somerville, Mass., High School. On October 3, 1906 he married Josephine Merriam Kimball of Arlington, Mass., and they had two daughters - Mrs. Janet Jeanneney and Mrs. Anna Emily Eaton, who survive him, and eight grandchildren, one of whom is John R. Jeanneney '57. "King" and Mrs. Woodbridge made their home in New Paltz, N. Y.

Few men in the Class have had a greater business experience in so wide a field, and none with greater success. Progressively passing from sales manager of Keith Shoe Co. of Brockton to posts with Loose-Wiles Co. and the Kellogg Co. of Buffalo, N. Y., and from there to the Dictaphone Division of the Columbia Phonographic Co., he had been president of the Kelvinator Co., president of the Electric Refrigeration Corp. and vice-president of Remington Rand, Inc., a director of Arbuckle Co., a partner of The Jay Street Connecting Railroad, and Director of The American Machine and Metals Co. At his death he was chief executive officer and chairman of the board of The Dictaphone Corp. Known as the "Business Doctor" of American industry, King directed for various bankers their activities in the industrial field.

With all his varied business interests, King was also a past president of the International Advertising Association. In recognition of his contribution to advertising, he was decorated by the French Government as a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Another honor came to King from 5,000,000 women who conferred upon him the bronze Medallion of Honor in recognition of his services to the office secretaries of the business world.

King was a member of many associations and clubs. A past president of the Dartmouth Club of New York, and past chairman of the board of trustees of Bennett Junior College, he was a member of the Economic Club of New York, National Mount Holyoke Society, Newcomen Society of England, Pilgrims Society, St. George Society of New York, Sons of American Revolution, the Manhattan Council of Greater New York Boy Scouts of America, Union League, and the Masons.

It is an amazing wonder that King at 79 could carry the staggering load of responsibilities he assumed. That he did so, and won the highest respect and friendship of his associates, is a tribute we, his classmates, are very proud of. King was a modest man, and many were never aware of his achievements. His qualities of leadership and his contribution to community, state and nation and to Dartmouth College will be long-lasting.

To King's family the Class of 1904 extends its profound sympathy and respects. We are proud it has been our privilege to call him classmate and friend.

"In college Cy and I worked at the various eating clubs together, played football together, and spent many happy evenings to-aether.

He worked hard at Dartmouth, was a good student and, after his graduation, made his mark in the advertising field both with Crowell, Collier and Time, Inc. He was well known and well liked by the advertising fraternity.

"Cy had a big heart, furthermore, when the chips were down, you could always depend on him. He had a great love for Dart: mouth. He was a rugged individualist and will be missed by all his friends. If I may speak for all of us - Cy Aschenbach will be unforgettable."

Surviving are his widow Harriett and a daughter Carol.

He became vice-president in charge of Latin American business and spent almost as much time in South and Central America as he did in New York.

Bill was one of the most respected men in the Class. His love for Dartmouth was deep and all-embracing. If he were in New York at the time, he never failed to attend a class luncheon, dinner or any other affair. His generosity to the College was far greater than any of his friends can possibly imagine, but he loathed any reference to be made to it. Many of us were his friends from high school to the day he died. He was loyal and true and a thoroughly fine gentleman. We are saddened by his death and will miss him whenever and wherever 1934 gets together.

Bill never married. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ada Fisher Hartman, and a brother Paul.
