ELDEN BENNETT HARTSHORN '12, Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus, died at Dick's House on February 27 at the age of 71. In failing health for some time, he had come to the college infirmary from his home in Lunenburg, Vt., a few days before his death.

Professor Hartshorn, who closed his active teaching career in 1954 after 41 years on the Dartmouth faculty, had headed his Department's work in the field of organic chemistry. He was one of the most widely known of the College's scientists as a result of his World War I research, with Dr. James B. Conant and others, on war gases, especially the preparation and properties of mustard gas.

Professor Hartshorn inspired many of his Dartmouth students to choose professional careers in chemistry, and the present roster of "Hartshorn men" Who have achieved distinction in chemical research, teaching and other branches of the field is impressive, and certainly unmatched in recent Dartmouth decades. His personal interest in these students extended into the early stages of their scientific careers, and he kept in touch with nearly all of them. This winter, in turning over to the College a cash award from the American Chemical Society, a 1942 graduate asked that Professor Hartshorn make the presentation if possible. He praised his former teacher as "truly devoted to his cause" and said, "The inspiration that I received from him contributed much to my being awarded this honor."

After graduating from Dartmouth in 1912, Mr. Hartshorn returned to the College one year later as instructor in chemistry. He studied at the University of Chicago in 1916 and then was on leave in 1917 and 1918 to do war gas research first with the U. S. Bureau of Mines and then as Ist Lieutenant with the U. S. Army Chemical Warfare Service. After the war he was Shevlin Fellow for two years, 1918-20, at the University of Minnesota, where he received his Ph.D. in 1922.

Dartmouth promoted him to assistant professor in 1922 and to full professor in 1929. The year 1930-31 was spent in further study at the University of Munich. Professor Hartshorn was chairman of the Department of Chemistry for four different terms and he also served as chairman of the Division of the Sciences. During World War II he directed the work at Dartmouth on the synthesis of potential anti-malarial drugs.

Upon retirement in 1954, Professor and Mrs. Hartshorn moved to Lunenburg, Vt., where they maintained a home. Professor Hartshorn had been a director of the Northeastern Vermont Development Association and he soon added to his community activities by serving as chairman of the Lunenburg Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee in 1955. He became a member of the larger county committee in 1956 and was its chairman in 1957 and 1958. He became a member of Lunenburg's Republican Committee in i960 and was a delegate to the Vermont Republican Convention that year.

Professor Hartshorn was a member of the American Chemical Society, the New Hampshire Academy of Science, Beta Theta Pi, of which he was for some years Dartmouth chapter trustee, and the scientific societies Alpha Chi Sigma, Gamma Alpha, and Phi Lambda Upsilon. In the 1920's he was commander of the Hanover post of the American Legion.

Professor Hartshorn was born July 30, 1889, in Emmetsburg, lowa. In 1914 he was married to Elsie Janet Cunningham of Washington, D. C., who survives him. He is survived also by three brothers, George E. Hartshorn '17, Theodore D. Hartshorn '21, and Hosmer P. Hartshorn. A half-brother, J. Edward Hartshorn, was a member of the Class of 1902. Four of Professor Hartshorn's nephews are Dartmouth graduates: John E. Hartshorn '45, William M. Hartshorn '45, Robert Hartshorn '50, and Theodore D. Hartshorn Jr. '54.
