JOHN HIRAM GEROULD, Professor of Biology, Emeritus, died in Hanover on July 15. He was born in Stoddard, N. H., October 2, 1868, the son of Samuel L. Gerould 1858.

In his infancy the family moved to Goffstown where, roaming in the fields and forests and along the brook, he became interested in natural history and biology. At an early age he organized a natural history society and became an avid collector. After graduating from Manchester High School he entered Dartmouth where he was later to be followed by his three brothers — James T. '95, Gordon H. '99, and Leonard S. '06.

In those days natural sciences at Dartmouth were taught by a single professor whose field was geology but, by his independent reading of Darwin and Huxley, John Hiram developed radical ideas about evolution and frequently debated the subject with other students. With two classmates he founded a small but stimulating biological club. Graduating with a Litt.B. degree and Phi Beta Kappa rank, he was also a member of KKK and C&G.

After teaching one year at Burr and Burton Seminary he entered Harvard where he received an A.B. degree in 1892, A.M. in 1893, and Ph.D. in 1895. While at Dartmouth he had spent two summers at Wood's Hole, where he became interested in marine biology. He spent two summers at the private marine laboratory of Alexander Agassiz where he began research which he later continued at the Sorbonne and at the Naples Zoological Station.

Appointed to the Dartmouth faculty in 1894 as instructor in biology (zoology) he became an assistant professor in 1906, associate professor in 1915, full professor in 1918, and professor emeritus in 1938. For many years after his retirement he went every day to his laboratory where he continued his research and his writings for scholarly and professional journals. He was recognized as one of the leading authorities on the physiology and genetics of insects. Among his contributions was the discovery of the blue caterpillar and his investigations of the two-way beat of certain insects' hearts.

On July 2, 1902 Mr. Gerould was married to Adah May Hasbrook who died in June 1960. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Troyer S. Anderson of Albany, N. Y., Mrs. Thomas K. Mac Donald of Aberdeen, Scotland, and Mrs. Theodore Chadwick of Manhattan, Kansas.

ALBERT LEET GALUSHA died suddenly of a heart attack at the Caldwell. N. J., Methodist Church on August 6. His home was at 14 Sylvan Rd., Verona, N. J.

He was born November 23, 1877, in Lincoln, Neb., grew up in Jericho, Vt., and prepared for college at Nashua, N. H., High School. After receiving his B.S. he spent a year at Thayer School and a year at M.I.T. He was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

"Galush" was a lifelong inventor. Fifty patents attest to his success in producing gas by using cheaper, small-size solid fuels like charcoal, coke and coal to secure greater heat at lower cost. His gas-producing engines were made and sold on every continent. He developed machinery for producing dried eggs and cheaper fertilizers. In World War II he helped allied governments produce nickel, magnesium for fire bombs, anti-aircraft gunbarrels, and armor plate. An early success was his building in his own Boston shop a gas engine that could propel a vessel across the Atlantic. From the 1920's until his retirement in 1959 he was successively chief engineer for the Gas Producer and Engineering Corp. of N. Y., the Dover Boiler Works, and the Gas Generator Division of the Wellman Engineering Co., Cleveland. He was consultant also for many manufacturing concerns abroad, and wrote articles for foreign and domestic technical publications.

On June 23, 1903, Galush married Isabel Cochran who survives him with their two children, A. Ranney Galusha and Ruth Bartley, eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. Bertha Hildreth of Westford, Mass.

GEORGE WILLIAM TONG died in Santa Barbara, Calif., on June 1, following a surgical operation. Funeral services were conducted in Santa Barbara, and burial was beside his wife in the Riverside Cemetery, Milford, N. H.

George was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., August 21, 1878. He entered Dartmouth from Brooklyn Boys' High School. In college he was a member of Alpha Delta Chi, Palaeopitus, and Casque and Gauntlet. George was very active in extracurricular activities. While maintaining a very respectable scholastic average, he served as a member of the Dartmouth board, the Aegis board, the Mandolin Club, and in senior year as manager of the varsity baseball team. During his college years he was outstanding for quiet efficiency in every activity in which he engaged.

In 1907 George entered the private practice of medicine and surgery in Brooklyn. For 41 years he gave his skilled and devoted service as a general practitioner to his home city. In 1948 he retired from active practice. A great doctor of the older tradition he was a rugged follower of high ethical principles and a tower of strength in his community. George was a member of a number of professional organizations, among them the New York State Medical Society, the King's County Medical Society, and the Brooklyn Pathological Society. During World War I he was a captain in the medical forces of the U. S. Army.

After his retirement in 1948, George lived for a time with his daughter in Libertyville, Ill., but, finding the Illinois climate a bit rugged, he made his home for the past few years at 1615 Bath St., Santa Barbara.

George was a quiet, unpretentious, satisfying friend. He was intensely loyal to the Class and College, and, with his solid, winning personality was always a most welcome participant in our class gatherings. Last year he came across the country to be present at our 60th.

George is survived by his daughter, Mrs. William H. Gaffney of Omaha, Nebr.; two grandsons, one of whom is a junior at Dartmouth and the other a sophomore at Yale; a granddaughter, Mrs. M. Keith MacFarland of Palo Alto, Calif.; and a sister, Marjory of Brooklyn, N. Y.

George was born in New York, March 9, 1907, and attended Fishkill Military School. He was at Dartmouth only one year and never kept in contact with the Class or the College. He was married before coming to college, September 16, 1927, to Nina Collins and had three children, Patricia, Georgia Ann, and John Earl. We know that George was at one time connected with the New York Central Railroad, but beyond that we have no facts of his career.

JOHN JEFFERSON WOLCOTT JR. died of a heart attack at his home 610 West 51st St., Kansas City, Mo., on July 3.

He was born in Kansas City, July 12, 1908, and attended the Country Day School there. Jack was with our Class for two years and was a member of Psi Upsilon.

After leaving college he went to work for the Wolcott-Lincoln Grain Co., which was founded by his father and which he was serving as vice-president at the time of his death. He also had served as president of the Kansas City Board of Trade.

Jack is survived by his widow, Virginia Altman Wolcott, and two sons, Peter and Christopher.

1935

FRED MELVILLE ATKINSON died very suddenly on May 7 at the age of 47. He was in the midst of a Miami vacation visit when he was struck by a massive internal hemorrhage from which he did not recover. His home was on Route 3, Wayzata, Minn.

Fred was known to almost everyone in the Class and his business ability had gained him recognition in his chosen field. As Dud Russell, who succeeded him as president of the Atkinson Milling Co. says: "Fred was one of the most brilliant young executives in the milling business and his passing is a real tragedy."

Fred was a native of Minneapolis and attended Blake School. Following graduation from Dartmouth he joined the family milling business which had been founded in 1917 by his uncle, the late William M. Atkinson. His progress with the company was rapid and he was elected president in 1941 at the age of 28. Following an interim in which he served as gunnery officer on combat duty in the Naval Air Force in World War II he returned to Minneapolis and conducted the business in which he made such an outstanding reputation both in the development of technical advances in the industry and in the operation of the company itself.

The sympathy of the Class is extended to his wife, Elizabeth, and his son, John Frederick, now a student at the Blake School. Fred also leaves his mother, Mrs. Dorothy A. Rood; a sister, Mrs. William Mitchell of Washington: and a brother, William Atkinson, a rancher in Shepherd, Mont.

WILLIAM THEODORE KRASNOW and his wife, the former Jane Dow, were killed July 28 in the crash of a private plane at Nantucket, Mass. Jane's twin brother, the pilot, and a fourth person also died. At the time of his death Bill was City Solicitor of Laconia, N. H.

He was a native of Laconia, participated in a wide variety of activities while at Laconia High School, and was a member of the National Honor Society.

At Dartmouth Bill, a quiet and serious student, majored in government and participated in the Pre-Law Club. He debated and played in the Band, served on dorm committees, and in his junior year was selected for Green Key. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa, cum laude, and with distinction in his major.

Bill went directly on to Harvard Law School, graduating in 1958, and went into practice with Nighswander, Lord and Bownes in Laconia. He passed the N. H. bar exams with the highest mark in 25

In July 1960 Bill married Jane, who had just graduated from Skidmore. In March of this year he ran for City Solicitor and won.

The Class has suffered a tragic loss.
