He was THE HEALER, devoting his keen mind and medical skills to that art with little trace of any venal qualities. We mourn a regular guy who never lost the common touch. We mourn the death of a professional man whose values were different from most medics. We will always cherish the memory of his friendship, for he was one who earned the title, 'Doctor.'"

1950
Perhaps, as the years go on, we will become more accustomed to the loss o£ friends in the younger classes, but at any time the news of BRUCE ALEXANDER MAGOON'S death would come as a distinct shock. Everyone who had the slightest contact with Bruce was immediately aware of his wonderful vitality and love of life. That death should come to him at the age of 32 is unbelievable. But, on February 4 Bruce died at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, as the result of a sudden heart attack. His home was at 35 Bexley Rd., Framingham, Mass.
Bruce ("Joe" to many of his Dartmouth friends) was born on August 23, 1927. His father, Mayo M. Magoon '18, is principal of Framingham High School where Bruce prepared for college. Before entering Dartmouth, Bruce served in the Navy. At Dartmouth he was a member of Gamma Delta Chi and played goalie on the freshman and varsity hockey teams. After graduation he worked for several years for the Retail Credit Corporation. In 1953 he went to work for the Framingham Trust Co. and in 1957 was elected assistant secretary, possibly the youngest man ever to be elected an officer of the bank.
In July of 1950, Bruce married Lois J. Mason of Framingham. Lois is no stranger to the Dartmouth family; she visited Hanover many times while Bruce was an undergraduate and shares the same fierce loyalty to the Green that Bruce unceasingly maintained. Bruce is also survived by two sons, Scott, 7, and David, 5; his mother; his sister Jean (Mrs. Wade Hubbard); and his brother Thomas.
All of Framingham will long remember Bruce for his unstinting generosity with his time. Framingham Union Hospital's fundraising drive, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Civic League, the Boy Scouts, the United Fund, Grace Congregational Church (where Bruce was elected a Deacon last year) are among the many organizations that profited from Bruce's association.
The deepest sympathy of the entire Dartmouth family is with Brace's family. Brace's life, however short, was a vivid example of the purpose of Dartmouth College.
