Faculty

DR. ROLF CHRISTIAN SYVERTSEN '18, Dean of Dartmouth Medical School and Professor of Anatomy, was killed on the night of January 28 when the car he was driving collided head-on with another in Hanover. When the accident occurred, about 11:40 p.m., he was driving home with his daughters Carolyn and Astrid and two Dartmouth seniors, all of whom had just finished a rehearsal for The Players' Winter Carnival show. These four young passengers were not injured seriously, nor were the two occupants of the taxicab driven by Alex Thorburn; but Dean Syvertsen died almost instantly from a severe internal hemorrhage.

High snowbanks at the intersection of Route 120, to Lebanon, and the Greensboro Road, where the accident occurred, obscured the vision of both drivers and caused the collision, it is believed.

Dean Syvertsen's death was keenly felt in the Hanover community, where he had been extremely active in College, hospital, church, and town affairs. To hundreds of Dartmouth Medical School students over the years he personified the School and was the central, warmly human man whom they remembered as being most closely associated with their earliest medical studies. At one and the same time a demanding teacher and a fatherly adviser, Dean "Sy" worked hard to get his men adequately prepared in the first two years and then properly placed for clinical studies at other medical schools; and after they had moved on he kept tabs on practically all of them, with a genuine interest in their careers and their families. The entire student body of the Medical School attended his funeral at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on February 1, and a large delegation of recent graduates came from Harvard Medical School to pay their respects.

Dr. Syvertsen had been Dean of Dartmouth Medical School since 1945 and a member of its faculty since 1923. Besides teaching anatomy and histology during this 37-year period, he had served as Secretary of the Medical School from 1924 to 1944, when he became Assistant Dean. The next year, in July 1945, he was made Dean, succeeding Dr. John P. Bowler '15.

Dr. Syvertsen was born in Taunton, Mass., on March 22, 1896, the son of Ole Christian and Ellen Badger Syvertsen (von Wedel Jarlsberg). He entered Dartmouth from Taunton High School in 1914, as a member of the Class of 1918, but interrupted his studies in 1917 to join the Army, with which he served in France in the Allied Expeditionary Forces. After the war he returned to Dartmouth and received his B.S. degree in 1921. During the next two years, while getting his medical diploma at Dartmouth Medical School, he was Instructor in Biology in the College, 1921-22, and Instructor in Evolution, 1922-23. He joined the Medical School faculty in 1923 as Instructor in Anatomy and Histology, advancing to Assistant Professor of Anatomy in 1932 and to Professor in 1938. During this latter period he completed his studies for the M.D. degree, which he received from Rush Medical College, Chicago, in 1936.

Dean Syvertsen had recently become faculty adviser of Germania, the Dartmouth German Club, in which he had been actively interested for many years. He also had a long association with the Dartmouth Outing Club, for which he was chairman of the Winter Carnival Committee in 1924 and later a trustee. He was on the board of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, had served as chairman of the Hanover Finance Committee, and was a past president of the Hanover Rotary Club. He had been Clerk of St. Thomas Episcopal Church for many years.

Dr. Syvertsen was a member of several state and national medical and scientific societies, and also of Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Kappa Kappa, Gamma Alpha, the Dartmouth Scientific Association, the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies, and the Norwegian-American Historical Association.

Dr. Syvertsen was married March 10, 1935, to Miss Margaret Gordon of North Sydney, Nova Scotia. He is survived by Mrs. Syvertsen and four daughters, Rosalind, 22, Margaret, 20, Caroline, 19, and Astrid, 17. At funeral services at St. Thomas Church, February 1, honorary bearers represented the vestrymen of St. Thomas Church, Dartmouth College, the Medical School, the Hitchcock Hospital, the New Hampshire Medical Society, the Rotary Club, and George Ryder Post, American Legion. Active bearers were Dartmouth students representing the St. Thomas Student Vestry, the first- and second-year classes of the Medical School, and Germania.

In memory of Dr. Syvertsen and in recognition of his concern for students, the Rolf C. Syvertsen Memorial Fund has been established at St. Thomas Church.

1926

On Friday night, January 29, Louis JEAN HEYDT, stepped casually from the stage of the Colonial Theatre in Boston following his opening scene and suffered a fatal heart attack. The last sound he heard was an audience's laughing response to a line delivered as he made an exit from his beloved "Stage." Earlier in the week he had received enthusiastic notices for his portrayal of the co-featured role of Jane Fonda's father in a pre-Broadway tryout of a new play, ThereWas A Little Girl. Louis Jean Heydt's last role was perhaps his finest triumph. To quote Newsweek Magazine - "By the time his understudy was on stage, Louis Jean Heydt, a trouper, was dead."

"Bus" Heydt was an outstanding member of the class. He was born on April 17, 1903, in Montclair, N. J. He entered Dartmouth from Worcester Academy and was an officer of that first "Selective Process" class during the last picture fight ever staged in Hanover. He was a member of Psi Upsilon and Dragon.

His professional career began as it ended — in the legitimate theatre. After a short and strenuous stint as a "leg-man" reporter for the New York World, he made his debut — as a reporter — on August 19, 1927 in TheTrial of Mary Dugan. In less than a year he was playing the male lead in an English touring company of the same play. None of us will ever forget his "Henry," the truculent "man from Orange" in Strictly Dishonorable, or his frustrated playwright in OnceIn A Lifetime. His last Broadway appearance was opposite Helen Hayes in HappyBirthday in 1946-47.

In 1936 Louis went to Hollywood and appeared in 150 motion pictures, usually in featured roles. They included Test Pilot,Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, The Great Mc-Ginty, Abe Lincoln In Illinois, Dive Bomber,Commandos Strike At Dawn and The BigSleep. He had starring roles in such big television shows as Cracker Money (the Harcourt-Brace prize play of 1957) and The Killers, in 1959. He starred in Collision, A Loud Laugh on the Steel Hour, Death Do Us Part for Lux, and did a tremendous job in One on the Matinee Theatre. Like all good troupers, Louis also appeared in more than 150 filmed T.V. shows. He was a member of the Players Club of New York. Louis Jean Heydt was a "Fine Actor" - and this term is an accolade not given to many! He will be missed in "The Business."

I am sure that his classmates and fraternity brothers join me in a feeling of deep loss. The sympathy of all of us goes to his widow, Donna Hanor Heydt of 8281 W. Norton Ave., Hollywood; his sister, Gertrude (Mrs. George) Otto of New York City, and his brother, Edward F. Heydt '19 of Essex Fells,

A former president of the Dartmouth Club of New York, he served on the Alumni Council, 1956-58, and as overseer of the Hanover Inn, 1957-58. He was a member of the Blind Brook Club, Purchase, N. Y.; Siwanoy Country Club, Bronxville; American Yacht Club, Rye, and the Union League Club of New York.

It will be of interest and help to many of his friends, that Harry hoped that those who wished might send contributions to the Harry H. Enders Scholarship Fund in lieu of flowers.

It is also with the greatest regret that we report the death of JOHN ROSS HUGHES of carbon monoxide poisoning in his home on Quakertown Rd., Flemington, N. J., on January 5, at the age of 53.

At the time of his death, Ross was an executive in the sales department of Esso Standard Oil Company, with whom he had been associated for thirty years. He started with the company in one of their service stations in Newark and advanced steadily, throughout the years, until his recent position in industrial sales.

Born in New York City, the son of the late Rupert S. and Edna DeArmond Hughes, he entered Dartmouth from Mercersburg Academy. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta.

Ross first settled in Montclair, N. J., and moved to Flemington in 1938 where he took an active part in the social and civic affairs of the community. He was a member of the former Flemington Board of Education and a past president of Flemington Rotary Club. He served as county chairman of national war fund drives of World War II and was an organizer of the Blue Jinglers, a well known social group in Flemington.

He is survived by his widow, Mary Adams Hughes; a daughter, Mrs. Dereck Williamson of Lebanon, N. J,; a son, John Ross Jr., at home; and two brothers, Rupert D., of Montclair, and William S. '26 of Istanbul, Turkey.

1935

One of our most popular and highly respected classmates, DUANE EDWARD STEINLE, died when a Capital Airlines plane crashed in Holdcroft, Va., on the night of January 18.

Bud was born in Madison, Wis., April 18, 1913, was brought up in New Britain, Conn., and entered Dartmouth from New Britain High School. He won his freshman numerals in football and baseball, and was an outstanding boxer, which was then an intramural sport. A member of Alpha Delta Phi and Sphinx, Bud majored in English. In 1937 he received an engineering degree from Purdue.

He went to work as a sales engineer for the Ingersoll-Rand Co. in the Chicago area for better than a year, and then accepted a similar position with the New Britain Machine Co. in the Detroit area. In 1946 he became associated with his father in the Steinle Machine Co. and five years later he joined the sales organization of Pratt & Whitney Co. in West Hartford. Six months ago, he returned to New Britain Machine Co. as Eastern sales manager for their Lucas Machine Division.

Bud was former vice-president of the Dartmouth Club of Hartford, a member of Wampanoag Country Club, and a member of St. James Episcopal Church of West Hartford. Typical of his interest in sports and children, he was a founder of local Little League activities.

Those who were privileged to know Bud intimately will understand the great loss his family has sustained, for they were intensely devoted to each other. On January 1, 1938, Bud married Virginia Christensen, and they had four children: Peter, a sophomore at Middlebury College; Edward, a senior at Vermont Academy; and John and Christine, students at King Philip junior High School. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Steinle, live in New Britain.

A memorial service was held at St. James Church, January 22. Friends were requested to omit flowers and make contributions in Bud's memory, either to the West Hartford Y.M.C.A. or to his church.

Ginny and the children live at 70 Craigmoor Road, West Hartford, Conn.

1938

CAPTAIN ROBERT MACKIN CARROLL, one of the youngest Four Stripers in the United States Navy, was killed January 18 when a Capital Airlines plane crashe'd in Holdcroft, Va., on a flight from Washington to Norfolk, Va.

The sudden and untimely death of one of 1938's most popular members occurred as Bob was resuming duties in the States following an assignment at the Royal Naval Staff College in Greenwich, England. His wife, Dorothy, and five children were still in England at the time of the fatal crash.

Bob's lifetime was full of love for Dartmouth. Raised in a Dartmouth family, his father, the late Frederick A. Carroll, Boston banker, was a member of the Class of 1909. The father visited the campus many times during Bob's four years and befriended many members of the Class. Bob came to Hanover as a friendly, smiling, young Irishman. He gained popularity rapidly because he made friends with ease. He played baseball during his four years and joined Alpha Delt and Sphinx. He was sophomore class secretary, and a member of Green Key and of the Executive Committees of the Interfraternity Treasurers' Council and the Senior Class.

Bob entered the Navy as a Midshipman in 1940 and served with the Submarine Service throughout the twenty years of his career. During World War II he took part in ten submarine war patrols, many in Japanese waters. He won the Silver Star for gallantry in action, and with Combat V, he won the Bronze Star and personal commendation.

Bob was graduated from the Submarine School at Groton, Conn., and the General Line School at Newport, R. I. He was attached to the Navy Department in Washington from 1950 to 1951, and from 1953 to 1957 he served on the staff of Submarine Command in the Pacific. He took command of Submarine Division 62 after graduating from the Armed Forces Staff College in 1957. He went from there to the assignment in England.

When Dorothy and the children arrived from London, funeral services were held in Jamaica Plain, Mass. The Governor of Massachusetts, Admirals, and many friends attended the family service and burial in Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline. James Cotter and Dr. John Merrill represented the Class.

Bob is survived by his wife, the former Dorothy Mulhern and five children ranging in age from fifteen to five - Susan, Frederick, Janet, Robert and Richard. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Frederick R. Carroll, who resides at 986 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Mass.; and five sisters, Mrs. Florin Hailer, Mrs. Charles Wintermeyer, Mrs. Bruce Wogan, and Ruth and Cathleen Carroll.

1942

On January 3, JOHN WILLIAM SMITH JR. died of a heart attack at the Tobey Hospital in Wareham, Mass.

John was born in Chicago, March 19, 1919, and came to Dartmouth from Winchester. Mass., High School and Deerfield Academy, where he played on the baseball team. He left Dartmouth after two years of undergraduate study and work On the Jack-o-Lantern business board.

In 1948 he married Margaret Coulson of Winchester, Mass., and lived in that town until 1956 while he worked in the treasury department of the Boston and Maine Railroad. During his years in Winchester, John was active in church work and served as president of the Men's Club of the First Congregational Church. He also was a member of the Park Board.

In 1956 he moved his family to Marion, Mass., and was the owner and insurance broker of the Edgar Holmes Agency in Norton. His interest in public activities was pursued in Marion where he was a trustee of the Public Library.

The condolences of the class are extended to his wife and son, Brooks.
