Faculty

ARTEMAS PACKARD, A.M. '34, who retired as Professor of Art in June, and his wife, Marjory Lord Packard, were instantly killed in an automobile collision near Belmont, N. H., on September 6. The Packards were on their way to Maine and met their deaths at the intersection of routes 106 and 140 when their small foreign car was crushed by a pickup truck of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.

Professor Packard, 67 years old, had taught at Dartmouth for 37 years, beginning in 1924 as Instructor in English. In 1928 he transferred to the Department of Art with the rank of assistant professor, and in 1934 he was promoted to full professor, receiving Dartmouth's honorary faculty A.M. degree at that time. Professor Packard taught courses in the history of art, Renaissance architecture, and the interpretation of art. In addition to playing an important role in building up the College's permanent art col- lection, he was instrumental in bringing Jose Clemente Orozco to Dartmouth as visiting artist and in having the Mexican muralist paint his famous Baker Library frescoes in 1932-34.

Professor Packard was a native of Boston and a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1915. He was a social worker in Cambridge, Mass., for two years after graduation and then, in 1917, enlisted in the aviation section of the Signal Corps. After training as an aerial observer he served overseas in 191819, studied at the University of Poitiers for a short period, and filled postwar Army duties in France and Germany until he returned to this country in 1920 on reassignment to the Air Service, with which he remained Until 1923.

Professor Packard had a number of articles and short stories published during the war years, and during the year prior to joining the Dartmouth English faculty he concentrated on his writing and also did some painting. His later works were largely in the field of art. He was editor and contributor to The Visual Arts in General Education, published by Appleton-Century in 1940; and general editor of the nine-volume The Individual and the World, 1940-43, of the three-volume Our Social World, 1940, and of the three-volume Our IntellectualWorld, 1941. He also edited and wrote parts of Our Artistic World, published in three volumes in 1943.

Professor Packard returned to service in World War II as an officer in the G-2 section of the Army Air Force, 1941-42. From 1943 to 1945 he taught engineering drawing in Dartmouth's Navy V-12 Unit and was chairman of the faculty lecture committee.

Professor Packard was a member of several art, archaeological, and museum societies. He was especially interested in the Museum of Modern Art, for which in 1937 he wrote a special report on the development of the Museum.

On June 26, 1926, Professor Packard was married to Marjory Bowen Lord of Hanover, daughter of the late George D. Lord, Dartmouth 1884, who taught Greek and classical archaeology at the College from 1887 to 1933. Mrs. Packard was prominent in the church, school, and community affairs of Hanover and for some years was librarian in Baker Library's Tower Room. She was a charter member of the League of Women Voters and a past president of the Hitchcock Hospital Auxiliary.

The Packards leave two sons, Dr. Artemas J. W. Packard, an intern at Mary Fletcher Hospital, Burlington, Vt., and Andrew B. Packard, a student at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ, Hanover, on September 9, and burial was in the Old Dartmouth Cemetery. Gifts, in memory of Professor and Mrs. Packard are being made to the Hanover High School library fund.

1894

GEORGE WOODBURY PARKER, who never failed to attend a class reunion, on September 20 joined the 80 other classmates who must, with C.C.'s arrival last spring, have a Fall Round-Up Over There this year. Regrettably, but unavoidably, no representatives of the Class .were present for the service. This reduces the living members of '94 to six.

We were not prepared for it to be Woodie this time, for he had seemed to be about at the head of the line in health. Apparently it was a brief illness, for which we are glad. Woodie was born March 20, 1871, in Stow, Mass. His preparation for Dartmouth was in the Hudson (Mass.) High School, which had a headmaster who influenced four of his students to enter his alma mater that fall. Following graduation from College he received his C.E. degree in 1895 from Thayer School.

On June 4, 1900 Woodie married Lelia I. Larkin, and through the years they made their home at 9 Felton St., Hudson, Mass. Lelia died in 1958. Their son, Lloyd L. '24, in recent years has served his father's class most helpfully as treasurer. Three grandsons also survive.

In college Woodie was a Sigma Chi, and was on the track team. In Hudson he was a substantial citizen as is evidenced by the fact that for 24 years he served as town clerk, as a director of the Hudson National Bank, and as president of the Hudson Savings Bank. As a member of the firm of Welch & Parker, general insurance agents and civil engineers, he carried on his profession as a civil engineer until 1932 when, due to impaired health, he limited his activities to the insurance business. From 1936 on Woodie had served as class agent for 1894.

1899

EDWARD RAYMOND SKINNER was born in West Upton, Mass., March 2, 1876 and died suddenly on September 11 of a coronary attack in the Hahnemann Hospital, Worcester, Mass. His home was at 11 Park View Drive.

Eddie prepared for college in West Upton, with a final year at Kimball Union Academy. After winning his B.S. in 1899, Eddie spent ten years between Chicago and Worcester as book salesman, agent for Western Electric Co., and purchasing manager for a leather manufacturer. From 1910 to 1927 he was with the American Optical Co. in Southbridge, Mass. After later positions with the Worcester Steel Garage Co. and the Frigidaire Corp. he helped found the Skinner-Welch Construction Co. to build private homes in Shrewsbury. Eventually World War II conditions compelled curtailment of his work.

During semi-retirement Eddie agreed to help out as sexton at the Adams Square Congregational Church. With his characteristic helpful spirit he continued to "help out" until he was 80. Then he and his wife, Sadie Holmes Bartlett, whom he had married in 1913, took some long anticipated trips to California and Florida until his health compelled complete retirement three years ago.

Eddie's life in the Class of '99 was one of warm friendliness and conscientious service. His 35 years as class treasurer was the longest term held by any classmate in any office. Eddie was efficient and versatile in any good cause, but happiest when doing things for others.

Funeral services, were in his own church, with its minister. Rev. George E. Seale, officiating. Attending for '99 were Warren Kendall and Ralph Hawkes, together with Willis Hodgkins' son Edward from Worcester. The traditional spray of red roses expressed the affectionate remembrance of his classmates.

Besides his wife Sadie, survivors include four sisters, Mrs. Alice Hall, Mrs. Charlotte Hunt, Mrs. Louise LeSure and Mrs. May Morse (wife of Kenneth L. Morse '02); and a brother, Everett H. Skinner.

1900

HERBERT LEWIS TRULL died at the Massachusetts General Hospital on September 10. The funeral service on September 13 at the Baptist Church in North Tewksbury was attended by representatives of the Masonic lodges of Lowell and Tewksbury, members of the Tewksbury School Board, a representative of the selectmen of the town, and many other friends and relatives. The Class of 1900 was represented by Judge Benjamin F. Prescott and Dr. Arthur L. Wallace.

Herbert Lewis Trull was born in Tewksbury, Mass., October 27, 1878. He attended school in Tewksbury and Lowell, and entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1896. During his college years, while pursuing the main purpose of a collegiate education, he was active in athletics. He was a member of the class track team, the varsity track team, specializing in the 880-yard run, and a member of the varsity relay team.

After leaving Dartmouth he was in the wholesale grocery business in Lowell and vicinity. He became an expert salesman and executive, and for over fifty years was a well-known purveyor of food in the New England area. He was first connected with the F. M. Bill Co. of Lowell and latterly with the Webster Thomas Co. of Boston.

Herbie was an able public servant. He served for two terms as representative of the 19th Middlesex district in the Massachusetts, legislature and in his second term was chairman of the Committee on Msrcantile Affairs. For six years he was a member of the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen, a member of the Tewksbury School Board, a member of the Board of Public Welfare, and the Tewksbury Board of Health. He was a past master of the William North Lodge AF and AM of Lowell, an organizer and worshipful master of the Wamesit Lodge of Tewksbury, a Shriner, and a member of the Grange. He was also interested in and sponsor of 4-H Club activities in the local area.

To his classmates Herbie was ever a constant friend, to Dartmouth a loyal son, and to his community a useful citizen.

He is survived by his wife, Louise Bailey Trull; a brother, Fred; and a daughter, Alice (Mrs. Carter Hoyt '22).

1901

HARLAN FULLER CURTISS died at his home, 31 Lyman Road, Northampton, Mass., on July 31.

He was born in South Hartford, N. Y., May 12, 1878. He prepared for college at Brewster Academy. After graduating from Dartmouth he received his M.D. from the University of Vermont in 1903.

An eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, Curt practiced for many years in Wolfe boro, N. H. Since his retirement he had made his home in Northampton. During World War I he served as a lieutenant in the Medical Corps. He was a member of the Wolfeboro American Legion.

On May 26, 1924 Curt was married to Bernice King who survives him.

EDWARD WINSLOW WARREN of Orford, N. H., died September 24 at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, Hanover, after a short illness. Born in Boston August 10, 1878, his early years were spent in Marlboro, Mass., where he graduated from high school prior to entering Dartmouth in the Class of 1901.

Ned lived in the Boston area until 1936, and was a member of the Church of the Advent, Boston. He was a trustee of the Agnes M. Lindsay Trust.

He is survived by his wife, Gertrude Vinton Warren, and a daughter, Mrs. Clifford C. Fifield of South Dartmouth, Mass.

1902

ROY STANLEY MERRILL was born in Shelburne Falls, Mass., December 25, 1878, and died August 27, 1961 after an illness of seven weeks.

Roy has been characterized as one of the gentlest, most retiring and lovable men in the Class. He was older than most, having graduated from Arms Academy in 1896.

In early life he had a severe accident which disfigured his face and resulted in the loss of an eye. Whether for this reason or another, he shunned all publicity and developed a retiring disposition that lasted through his whole life. Nevertheless he was very well liked in college and was initiated into Phi Delta Theta. In 1948 the fraternity honored him with a scroll and the fifty-year pin at a Boston dinner.

Roy never married but carried on his father's contracting business in Shelburne Falls, living in the old family residence there with a widowed sister, Mrs. Herbert P. Ware, who survives him. He loved the out-of-doors and did a little farming on the side. He was considered quite an authority on local history, and was much interested in. botany and geology.

He was most loyal to the College, a constant contributor to the Alumni Fund, and a faithful attendant at class reunions. We had looked forward to seeing him at our Sixtieth, for he obviously took pleasure in the renewal of the old associations. The Class saw little of him in later life, but is proud to have numbered him in its ranks.

LESLIE BOYNTON FARR died in St. Luke's Hospital, New York City, on June 28, following an operation some months ago for cancer of the throat. He made his home at 601 West 113 th St., New York City.

Les was born in Littleton, N. H., December 1, 1878, the son of George Farr '62, and prepared for college at Littleton High School. After graduating with the Class, Les received his C.E. from Thayer School. After a year with Hastings Pavement Co. he joined Harlem Contracting Co. and remained with them until he retired in 1944 as president.

Les was one of the founders of the Dartmouth Club of New York and frequently represented it in bridge tournaments. In addition to the Dartmouth Club, he was a member of the New York Graduates Club, the New Hampshire Society, the Dartmouth Society of Engineers (which he had served as secretary), the New York Athletic Club, the West Side Club, and the Boston City Club.

On December 26, 1908 he was married to Clara Wellman, who also attended Littleton High School, who survives him.

His close friends speak of Les' nobility of character, his cheerful fortitude under affliction, and his devotion to his invalid wife.

He joined the Bates College faculty as assistant professor of chemistry and track coach, where he remained for seven years, until his appointment as professor of physical education and coach of track at the University of Maine. There he remained the rest of his life.

Chet gained great fame as a coach. During his term at Maine his teams won 92 track meets and lost 34, won 14 out of 24 state championships as well as two New England championships. He produced five Olympic men and was a coach for the Olympics in Australia in 1956. In cross country his teams won 16 out of 20 state championships, three out of eight Yankee Conference championships, and six out of 22 New England championships. In 1956 he completed an undefeated indoor season and was awarded the title of "College Coach of the Year."

In 1953 he was awarded the coveted "Black Bear Award of the General Alumni Association" for "devotion and high loyalty to the traditions of the University of Maine." Upon his retirement in 1956 he was honored at the Bangor Daily News Sports Award Dinner. He belonged to Alpha Sigma Chi Chemical Fraternity, American College Track Coaches Association, Pale Blue Key Society, and the local lodge of Masons.

1914

ALFRED RICHARD TAYLOR died August 9 at Washington Sanatorium, Takoma Park, Md., of an intestinal obstruction. He had been, practically since graduation, a patent examiner in the U.S. Patent Office, to which he brought a keenly inquiring mind and a high sense of duty. Those of us who knew Al in college can well testify to these sterling attributes. He retired several years ago.

Al never married and is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Reid Hunt of 382 Common wealth Ave., Boston, and Mrs. Clay Bayly, also of Boston.

The entire Class extends to Mrs.. Hunt and Mrs. Bayly its deep sympathy in the loss of their devoted brother as we note with sorrow the passing of another friend and classmate.

1926

His many Dartmouth friends will be sad to learn that CHARLES BROWN SINGLETON saw fit to take his own life on August 12, at his home in Wilton, Conn. Just twelve months earlier he had lost his wife Helen, after years of illness and suffering. These years took their toll of Charlie, eventually bringing on a serious disturbance of his health, and several hospitalizations.

In 1930 he en- tered the insurance business and spent the rest of his life in that field. He was asso- ciated successively with Travelers, Con- necticut General Life, and the C. O. Falken- hainer Agency. For the last 18 years he operated his own insurance brokerage office in New York. He is survived by his son Jim, 25, now in the Navy, and daughter Melinda, 21, a student at Mills College.

1928

GEORGE YOUNG MCCLURE died suddenly on December 18, 1960. His home was in Fayetteville, N. C., where he was chief pathologist at the Veterans Administration Hospital.

He was born in Shamokin, Pa., on March 14, 1905. After graduating from Dart- mouth he attended the Dartmouth Medical School and assisted on the faculty until 1934.

A year ago Alex Laing '25 revealed that Mac was his co-author in 1933 in writing The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck and The Mo-lives of Nicholas Holtz. The first of these reached best-seller lists in 1934, sold 200,- 000 copies, and last year was brought out in a new edition. Mac wished to remain anonymous because he felt it might hurt his medical career if his name were used on a mystery thriller.

In 1936 Mac received his M.D. degree from McGill University and interned at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. He then did research work in polio for three years with the New York Department of Public Health, followed by two years of cancer research at Memorial Hospital in New York City.

One of the handsome men of 1930, Howie had been a teacher practically all his life, while continuing his own studies at several institutions, including Boston University School of Education, Bryant & Stratton School, American Institute of Foreign Trade in Phoenix, Arizona. At the time of his death he was working for a Master's degree in Romance Languages at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. He had taught at Kimball Union Academy, American Institute of Foreign Trade, Girard College and Lawrence Academy. At one time he had been a partner in the Wareham insurance firm of Eldredge & Sons, and a member of the Wareham Community Associates.

Howie prepared for Dartmouth at the Berkshire School, was a French major in College, and a member of the Glee Club for four years. He served with Army Intelligence in World War 11, and was a member of the American Legion, Post 220, Wareham. Fraternally he was a Sigma Nu at Dartmouth, a Mason, and a past master of Social Harmony Lodge, A.F. & A.M., Wareham. He was a native of Wareham, where funeral services were held. The Class was represented by Frank Doherty.

The members of 1930 are saddened at the passing of another well-known and loyal classmate. He had not participated actively in recent class affairs but certainly is closely remembered by many in the Class, and all join in heartfelt sympathy to his family, upon his passing away in the prime of life.

1939

CHARLES SCRIBNER GRANT died on September 14 at the Barber Farm in Jericho Center, Vt., where he had spent most of his summers since boyhood. In Jericho Center, in Middlebury, Vt., where he was an assistant professor of history at Middlebury College, and in the many other places where he had lived — Cleveland, Washington, Hanover, with the Air Force, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and Kent School, to name the principal ones — he leaves a long trail of close friends.

After graduation from Dartmouth he joined a firm of manufacturers representatives in Washington, D. C., working there until early in 1941 when he went into the Air Force and became a navigator on a B-25C medium bomber. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross for missions flown from Australia into the Philippines with one of the first squadrons to be sent west after Pearl Harbor. In 1945 he became a civilian and returned to his previous work in Washington, but by 1947 he had made his decision to teach and started studying at Pennsylvania for his Master's degree in history. This he received in 1949 and shortly thereafter became a Master at Kent School in Connecticut. It was during vacations and long into the night during the school year first at Kent and then after 1955 at Middlebury that he studied for his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Columbia, which he was awarded in 1957.

Charlie's wife, Katharine Glascock Grant, originally of Raleigh, N. C., and their children Kitty (17) and Charles Jr. (13) will be living on the edge of the campus at Middlebury while the children continue their schooling in New England and vacations in the mountains with their mother. To them and also to Charles's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Grant of Washington, D. C., goes our profound sympathy and best wishes. .

Charlie had written a number of articles for such periodicals as the New EnglandQuarterly and the Mississippi Valley Historical Review and had won special praise for his recent book from Columbia Press, Democracy in the Connecticut FrontierTown of Kent.

NEVILLE DENMAN FOWLER was one of 77 people killed in the tragic crash of the Air France Caravelle jet near Rabat, Morocco, on September 12. He was on his way to begin a new assignment as assistant naval attache at Monrovia, Liberia. i. 1 A ~ ~ A

Nev was born September 4, 1934, and graduated from Shady Side Academy where he was editor of his yearbook, captain of the cross-country team, a member of the track and soccer teams, an honors student, and was active in debating, dramatics, and student government. Nev was a history major at Dartmouth, held a Hazen History Fellowship senior year, and graduated with honors. He was a member of The Players and of Kappa Kappa Kappa and was secretary of Germania. He was also a member of the regular Navy ROTC and was commissioned as Ensign in June 1956.

In the Navy, Nev completed flight training and served two and one-half years as a pilot with the Electronic Countermeasures Squadron in Iwakuni, Japan. This spring he completed one year of study at the Naval Intelligence School in Washington, D. C., and was looking forward to his tour in Africa. He had attained the rank of Lieutenant.

Nev was unmarried. He is survived by his parents, Prof, and Mrs. George B. Fowler of 5427 Forbes St., Pittsburgh, Pa.; a brother, Capt. C. Worthington Fowler, USAF, Westover, Mass., and a sister, Rosalind Fowler of Pittsburgh.

The news of Nev's death came as a terrible shock to those of us who knew him well. He was a cheerful companion and always the source of welcomed humorous comment. He was a sincere and devoted person who deeply loved and loyally served his fraternity, his College, and his Country.
