Faculty

FRANK MALOY ANDERSON, A.M. '14, Professor of History Emeritus, died April 26 in St. Paul, Minn., at the age of 90.

Professor Anderson, a widely known authority on modern European history, had retired from the Dartmouth faculty in 1941 after teaching here for 27 years. During the past twenty years he and Mrs. Anderson had resided in Florida, Washington, D. C., and then St. Paul, but they returned to Hanover nearly every summer, and Mr. Anderson was a familiar figure in Baker Library where he continued his reading and academic interests.

Coming to Dartmouth in 1914 as full professor, Mr. Anderson soon added to his European diplomacy course another popular course on World War I, established in answer to a petition by a group of Dartmouth undergraduates. His stature in his field was recognized when he became a member of Colonel House's Board of Inquiry in 1918-19, following which he returned to Hanover to resume teaching. Soon thereafter he was recalled to Washington to accompany President Wilson to Paris as a member of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace. Abroad he played an important role in drafting the statute for the International Labor Organization - in the light of history, perhaps the most permanent accomplishment of the Versailles treaty makers.

Prior to coming to Dartmouth, Professor Anderson taught for nineteen years at the University of Minnesota, where he received his A.B. degree in 1894 and his A.M. in 1896. For nine years of this period at Minnesota he held the rank of full professor. In 1953 the university honored him with one of its Outstanding Achievement Awards. Among his historical studies were Outlines

and Documents of English ConstitutionalHistory During the Middle Ages (1895), Constitutions and Documents Illustrative of theHistory of France, 1789-1902 (1904 and 1908), and Handbook of the Diplomatic History ofEurope, Asia and Africa, 1870-1914 (1919). In 1948 the University of Minnesota Press published The Mystery of "A Public Man," the result of 35 years of detective work on Professor Anderson's part. It proved that the anonymous Diary of a Public Man, purporting to be an actual record kept in Washington in 1860-61 and giving eye-witness accounts of incidents involving Abraham Lincoln, was a fiction, written by Sam Ward with the connivance of the editor of the North American Review and possibly with help from William Henry Hurlbert. For 69 years the Diary had been accepted by Lincoln biographers as authentic.

Professor Anderson taught at the American Military University at Beaune, France, immediately after the Paris peace mission, and he was a summer-session professor at Harvard, Columbia, Illinois, Michigan, Northwestern and Boston Universities. He served on the Minneapolis Charter Commission, 1911-14; the executive committee of the Minneapolis Voters League, 1908-12; and the Hanover School Board, 1916-18.

A onetime member of the national council of the American Historical Society, he also belonged to the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, the Royal Historical Society, Societe d'Histoir Moderne, and the Minnesota and New Hampshire historical societies. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi and an honorary member of Dartmouth's Class of 1914.

Professor Anderson was born in Omaha. Nebraska, February 3, 1871, and spent most of his boyhood in Minnesota. He was married in 1898 to Mary G. Steele of Minneapolis, who died in 1939. In 1944 he was married to the former Mary Maud Case of Wellesley, Mass., who survives him. Also surviving are a son, Dr. Gaylord W. Anderson '22 of St. Paul, and a grandson, Dr. Kenneth F. Anderson '50 of Bryn Mawr, Pa. A son, Troyer S. Anderson '22, died in 1948.

1900

The Class of 1900 has lost one of its most loved and respected members. On April 14, while getting his car from the garage, CHARLES ALBERT PROCTOR, Professor of Physics Emeritus, suffered a fatal heart attack. On Monday afternoon, April 17, quite befitting Charles' modesty and self-effacement a very beautiful and simple committal service was held at the Old Dartmouth Cemetery. The Class was represented at this service by Ben Prescott, Art Wallace, and Everett Goodhue and his wife.

Charles Albert Proctor was born September 15, 1878, the son of John C. and Adelaide Young Proctor. He entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1896 from Worcester Academy. During his undergraduate years he showed his exceptional versatility. He was a member of DKE, Sphinx, Palaeopitus and the Junior Prom Committee, and was class president in freshman year. He immediately displayed the qualities of the best type of scholar-athlete. He graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors, was a member of the varsity track team, excelling in the hurdles and discus, was an important cog in the varsity football team during his junior and senior years, and was a prominent member of the Tennis Association.

After graduation Charles held the Parker Fellowship from Dartmouth and did graduate work in mathematics and physics at the University of Chicago, where he received the Ph.D. degree in 1909. He taught four years at the University of Missouri. In 1907 he was called to Dartmouth as Assistant Professor of Mathematics. In 1909 he was made Assistant Professor of Physics and in 1919 he became Professor. For 38 years he served Dartmouth with distinction as a teacher of physics. Charles was a natural in the teaching profession. He was the fourth of his lineage to become an able Dartmouth teacher, being preceded at Dartmouth by his great-grandfather, Ebenezer Adams, Dartmouth 1791; his grandfather, Ira Young, Dartmouth 1828; and his father, John C. Proctor, Dartmouth 1864.

Charles loyally contributed to Dartmouth life in many and varied ways. He was first of all an able thinker and taught his branch of physics with great clarity and effectiveness. He early became interested in photography, especially in the process of colored films, and through this developed a lasting interest in optics. His research contributed to the early development of Technicolor. He also was instrumental in bringing to Hanover Adelbert Ames, with whom he worked in the field of physiological optics.

Charles too was an enthusiastic ornithologist. With camera in hand he was forever clambering over New Hampshire ledges in pursuit of the nesting mysteries and habits of the peregrine falcon. His camera studies of birds are widely known. He was a thorough-going outdoor man and took a lively interest in the formation and development of the Dartmouth Outing Club and in skiing. In this connection he invented and established a unique method of ski scoring. For many years he was active in the development of skiing, and he was often referred to as "the father of American skiing." In 1932 he was chairman of the Olympic Games Ski Committee at Lake Placid.

It was through his interest in the Outing Club that the idea came to the Class at its 25th reunion to devote the then class fund, collected over the years, to the building of a house to facilitate the activities of the Club. And so the Outing Club House at the north end of Occom Pond came into being.

Charles was persistently a member of Dartmouth committees. He was especially active in the athletic program, and for a period of 22 years he was for various terms a member of the Athletic Council. He also served for many years on the Council of the Dartmouth Outing Club and as chairman of its Board of Trustees. In 1958 the Dartmouth Alumni Council honored him with its Alumni Service Award.

Charles showed equal versatility in his hobbies. Besides his interest in ornithology, photography and skiing, he was a first-rate tennis player and an exceptionally good golfer. At one time he was the New Hampshire state golf champion. He was a natural athlete and whatever he undertook in the realm of sports, as elsewhere, he did with skill, expertness, and thoroughness.

The Class feels keenly his loss. Charles was ever a staunch friend, kind and considerate, a good companion, loyal to the best in himself and expecting the best from others, generous, understanding, and gracious. "He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again."

He is survived by his wife, Alice Nancrede Proctor, whom he married in 1904; two sons, Charles N. '28 of Yosemite National Park, and John C. '36 of Egypt, Mass., and four grandchildren.

1901

ROBERT FRENCH LEAVENS died at his home, 1900 Yosemite Rd., Berkeley, Calif., on April 21. The Grand Old Man of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Northern California, he will be mourned from California to Hanover, where he made many friends during frequent summers spent there.

He was born in Arlington, Mass., December 20, 1878, and prepared for college at Boston Latin School. At Dartmouth he was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Casque and Gauntlet, and Phi Beta Kappa.

After two years as a master at Holderness School for Boys he started his preparation for the Unitarian ministry at Harvard, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1906. From 1906 to 1908 he was assistant at the Arlington Street Church, Boston. He then served as minister of the First Parish, Fitchburg, Mass., 1908-16; First Unitarian Church, Omaha, Nebr., 1916-21; and the First Unitarian Church, Berkeley, Calif., 1921-25. In 1926 Mr. Leavens became Associate Professor and Chaplain of Mills College where he served until his retirement in 1937. In 1937 Mills conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.

After his retirement Mr. Leavens devoted himself to writing. He published two volumes of Great Companions, anthologies representative of some of the finest thinking of our times. In 1939 he published Let Us Pray. But the work to which he had dedicated many years of his life was a biography of William Jewett Tucker. Spending many summers in Hanover, he and Mrs. Leavens worked tirelessly on all the Tucker material available at Dartmouth and elsewhere. His four years as a student under Dr. Tucker laid the foundation for his devotion to the man and his works, which was reflected in the years of loving research. The Tucker material gathered by Mr. Leavens was not ready for publication at the time of his death, but the project will be carried on by the College.

Mr. Leavens' life-long devotion to Dartmouth, and his service to the College in many ways, was recognized when he was given an Alumni Award in 1957. He was secretary of The Plains Alumni Association, 1918-20, and a member of the Alumni Council, 1918-22. He was a pillar of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Northern California, and any visitor from Hanover was assured a warm welcome in Berkeley.

Nationally known as an outstanding figure in Unitarianism, he had "made a definite contribution to all phases of community life, religious, civic, educational, cultural, whereever he served. With a great capacity for understanding, his voice had ever been lifted in behalf of the less privileged." The depth and breadth of his interests were reflected in membership in the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Wider Quaker Fellowship, Euthanasia Society, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the American Civil Liberties Union.

On February 20, 1912, Mr. Leavens was married to Anna W. Cushing, who survives him with a daughter Eleanor (Mrs. David P. Smith '35), a sister, Mrs. David B. Keniston, and four grandchildren. George A. Leavens '90 was a brother.

1902

FRANCIS BENNETT RILEY was born in Meridian, N. Y„ May 20, 1878, and died in the Veterans Hospital, Dearborn, Mich., March 28, 1961, of a cerebral thrombosis after a long illness. He had no living relatives, so a military funeral was held at Grosse Pointe, Mich., in surroundings he loved, and attended by a group of Spanish War veterans. And thus a highly esteemed classmate passed from us.

Ben entered our lives in uniform and left with military honors. However, it is not with the trappings of war that we remember him, but as a warm, loyal friend, devoted to others, cheerful under adversity, self-reliant, hard working, a real man, whom it is a privilege to have known.

He first came to Hanover in September 1898, direct from the battleship Oregon, after having made the historic voyage around Cape Horn from California to Santiago de Cuba in time to see action that resulted in the destruction of the Spanish fleet and the end of the war to set Cuba free. This gave him a certain glamor to begin with, but we soon recognized that we had in him 3 classmate of sterling worth.

He had to rely entirely on his own efforts to meet the expense of getting through college. He waited on table, shoveled coal at the college heating plant, tutored fellow classmates, did lettering on diplomas, and work on other odd jobs, but yet found time for extracurricular activities. He was center on the first Dartmouth football team to score on Harvard and to beat Brown. He was in the Mandolin Club for three years, and won a prize for freehand drawing. His popularity was evidenced by his election to Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Nu Epsilon and Sphinx.

After graduation he started as a clerk in the auditor's office of the Chicago and Eastern R.R., and held various other positions before starting in for himself as president and manager of the Compact Furniture Co., of Ann Arbor, Mich. Later he was president of the Riley Engineering Corp. of Toledo, Ohio, which designed and manufactured refrigeration appliances.

Ben married Anne M. Russell of Buffalo, N. Y., in 1908. They had no children, and she died some years ago. He was sensitive to beauty and loved the' out-of-doors, listing fishing for bass in Georgian Bay as one of his avocations. Of his business, he wrote, "I have survived three good beatings but can still smile without cracking my lip."

1903

CHARLES TABER HAUL died in Newton, Mass., on March 26. His home was at 293 Mt. Vernon St., West Newton.

Charles was born in Chelsea, Mass., July 18, 1880. He came to Dartmouth from Everett (Mass.) High School with Horace Kidger. The two were roommates during their entire college course.

Shortly before graduation Charlie decided to enter the Christian ministry. Following graduation he entered Hartford Theological Seminary but transferred the following year to Berkeley Divinity School and was ordained a Priest in the Episcopal Church, May 25, 1907.

His early parishes were in Waterbury, Conn., and Jefferson, Texas. He then returned to Massachusetts and was rector at churches in Fall River and Framingham before accepting a call in 1914 to St. John's Church in Arlington, Mass., where he remained until 1941.

Under his leadership that church enjoyed a healthy growth, a new and enlarged church edifice was erected, and its activities increased in scope and number. In 1941 Charlie, with life-long modesty, decided that the parish should better be conducted by a younger man and presented his resignation. He held to his decision and left to take up work in a smaller parish in Amesbury, Mass., where he remained until retirement in 1952.

His services to church and community were outstanding as borne out by the following taken from the press at that time: "The Reverend Hall has made a definite impress not only upon his flock, but also upon the community. A man not given to glamor, seemingly making a definite effort to be backward about being forward, he has nevertheless in a positive way contributed much to the community of which he has been a part."

The funeral services were conducted by two bishops, Stokes and Lawrence, and The Reverend William Kingswall of the church where he attended, and in the chancel were eight vested clergy including the rector from each of his former parishes in Arlington and Amesbury.

In college Charlie was a member of Delta Tau Delta and in after life a Mason.

He married (1) Winifred Henderson on August 3, 1910 who died October 12, 1940 and (2) Dolores Osborne Keleher in 1941 who survives him as do three sons, Charles T. Jr. '33, Jackson O. '53 and Edward H.; and two daughters, Mrs. Robert Ingraham and Mrs. Philip Gannam.

1911

Paul came to Dartmouth from Chelsea, Mass., where he was born April 28, 1890, and where he attended school. During college he played on the class football team for two years and belonged to Phi Delta Theta and Dragon.

He entered the wholesale provision business in the days before supermarkets and returned to this field after serving as an ensign in the Navy from 1917 to 1919. He was with Batchelder & Snyder until 1931, when he became manager of Hicks & Hodge Co. In 1944 he became established as a builder and operator in the real estate field, principally in Winchester, and became active in civic affairs.

He married Helen McLean in December 1916, who died in 1929, leaving a son, Richard. His daughters, Janet and Muriel, along with their mother, the former Vera Pagels, survive him. Paul was always one of Dartmouth's loyal supporters and had made all plans to attend his 50th reunion as he had nearly all previous ones.

RAYMOND BILLS CARMICHAEL, who died suddenly on April 10 in Blythe, Calif., was a popular member of the Class of 1911 who had been denied the privilege of continuing his Dartmouth associations for a large part of his adult life. Mental illness had made necessary giving up his profession to receive care and attention at the hospital in Elgin, Ill. During the past few years he had roamed the hills and mountains of the West in his trailer enjoying the freedom that at last was his.

Mike was born November 26, 1888 in New Milford, Ill., but when his family moved to Rockford he attended the schools there, including Rockford High School. At Dartmouth he belonged to Phi Sigma Kappa and had the distinction of being one of the last men to escape from the South Fayerweather fire.

While studying for his law degree at the University of Wisconsin he taught mathematics in the Lacrosse High School. He became a law clerk with Pines and Newman, Chicago, from 1915 to 1916 and then in the office of Richberg, Ickes, Davies & Lord.

In 1920 he became a patient in the Elgin Hospital where he remained until 1948, when he was an attendant at the Bellevue Rest Sanatorium. He continued his interest in and love for the College throughout his life, even to the extent of making Dartmouth the beneficiary of his life's savings.

MAHLON WALLACE HILL died at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital on March 27 after a short illness. His home was at 100 Hillside Rd., West Newton, Mass.

In 1931 he joined the William Carter Co., underwear manufacturers, as Pacific Coast manager, which position he retained until ill health forced his retirement in 1953. After moving to the west coast 'he continued to be active in alumni affairs. A classmate writes, "He was very strong in his love for Dartmouth and 1911. He wanted very much to return to his 50th reunion." He was among the first and most loyal contributors to the Alumni Fund and other college activities.

His happy and solicitous companion through life was Janet Archibald, whom he married in Worcester in August 1914. She survives him together with a daughter, Mrs. Barbara Dittman, and a son, Arthur Harrison Jr.

Funeral services were held in Colonial Chapel in Oakland and interment was in Mountain View Cemetery. Donations in his memory from friends to the Dartmouth Alumni Fund have already become a significant contribution to the 1911 quota.

1912

He had served on its board of directors since 1950 and had been president and a member of the trustees since 1959. On April 13 he proudly announced that $400,000 had been raised in the YMCA's 75th Anniversary Capital Development Fund drive, of which he was chairman. A great portion of this money came as a direct result of Karl's personal efforts. In addition to the local YMCA, he was serving on the administration and finance committee of the Central Atlantic area.

A plaque was unveiled in his memory at a conference center dedication at the Orange YMCA camp, in Sussex, N. J., on May 27. A Karl W.

1918

WILLIAM RICHARD CHRISTGAU was killed when he was struck by an automobile while crossing Madison Ave. in New York on the evening of April 28, on his way to a Masonic meeting.

Chris was born in New York, July 11, 1895, and attended DeWitt Clinton High School, where he captained the baseball and basketball teams and was a member of the football and track teams. His life-long devotion to DeWitt Clinton was recognized in 1952 when he received a plaque from the school for life achievements. Chris was obliged to work his way through Dartmouth, by selling sandwiches in the dormitories, waiting on table, pressing clothes. He enlisted in the Field Artillery on October 4, 1917 and served with the A.E.F. from April 12, 1918 to June 1, 1919- He was discharged as a 2nd Lt. on June 26, 1919.

Chris' life-long interest in young people led him to work for the Cambridge, Mass., YMGA for the next four years, where he was able to develop tough, underprivileged boys into good citizens. He continued to work with young people in the New York City Mission Society until 1926. He then became asociated with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. where he remained until his retirement in i960.

Bob was born in Montpelier, Vt., December 31, 1904, and prepared for college at Montpelier High School. At Dartmouth he was a member of Delta Tau Delta, and a premedical major. When finances prohibited medical school, however, he entered the business world and worked eight years (for the Goodyear and Seiberling tire companies) saving toward his goal.

In 1940, after completing two years of internship at New York's Morrisania City Hospital, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Medical Corps.

He resigned from the Service in 1946, a Lt. Colonel.

These years in battle-front hospitals moulded Bob's decision to make hospitals his life work. He enrolled in Columbia's School of Hospital Management, and received his Master's degree in 1947. He then became administrator of the Rochester (N. Y.) General Hospital, and "revamped the entire operation of the hospital, including both business and medical divisions." In 1948 the First Army Headquarters named him Commander of the 19th General Hospital Organized Reserve Corps, Rochester, in addition to his duties at the city's General Hospital.

In April 1955, Bob was appointed superintendent of the Indianapolis General Hospital, "the answer to the Board's prayers for a competent man to take over this difficult assignment." He held this position until the fall of 1959, when the onset of his illness induced him to assume less arduous duties as Director of Medical Education at the Lima (Ohio) Memorial Hospital. At the time of his death he was a Regional Director of the American Medical Association; a member of Cap and Skull, medical honorary fraternity; the American College of Hospital Administrators, and the American Hospital Association.

The sympathies of the Class are extended to his widow Elizabeth (Beattie) to whom he was married in 1940.
