Faculty

ERNEST BRADLEE WATSON '02, Professor of English Emeritus, died December 6 at Anacortes, Washington, where he had been visiting his son. Eighty-two years of age, he had been remarkably active since his Dartmouth retirement in 1949, teaching a special English course for foreign students at Dartmouth, touring across the country by car with some of these students, and then in 1959 accepting the challenge, at 80, of becoming professor of English and the first white teacher in the history of Saint Paul's College in Lawrenceville, Va.

Despite a serious operation in the summer of 1960, Professor Watson returned to Saint Paul's for a second year. He was planning to teach drama and literature there again this year, but a recurrence of his illness this past summer forced him to give up his faculty post and also his work for the Class of 1902, of which he had been president since 1942. He returned to his son's home for a complete rest and there passed away.

When he "retired" in 1949, Professor Watson had been a teacher for 47 years, beginning at Robert College in Constantinople (now Istanbul) where he went as English instructor right after graduating from Dartmouth. In 1905 he returned to Dartmouth for four years as instructor and assistant professor of English, and then went to Harvard for graduate study centering in the drama under Prof. George Pierce Baker. This period of graduate work was interrupted for one year, 1910-11, when he was recalled to Robert College as professor to organize a new program of English instruction. Upon getting his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1913 he returned to Robert College as head of the English department and then, from 1916 to 1923, as Dean.

During World War I, Professor Watson was with the Red Cross in Paris for a year and a half, and served as managing editor of the monthly journal War Medicine, which kept all army medical units informed of the latest advances in the treatment of war injuries and contagious diseases.

An exchange sabbatical at Dartmouth in 1923-24 led to Professor Watson's accepting a full professorship with the College. His teaching for the next 25 years was mainly in the field of the drama, which had long been his prime interest. He had helped found the Hissar Players in Istanbul and his involvement in dramatic activities at Dartmouth led him to found the Experimental Theatre, now an important and thriving part of the cultural life of the campus.

Professor Watson was the author of Sheridan to Robertson, a study of the London stage published in 1926, and from 1931 on he was co-editor of Contemporary Drama, a series of drama anthologies published by Scribner's. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and C & G; a past deacon of the Church of Christ, and since 1923 had been a trustee of Camp Pasquaney for boys in Bridgewater, N. H.

A native of Boston, Mr. Watson was married in 1913 to Daisy Neil of Dorchester, Mass., and their only child, Ernest Bradlee Jr., was born in 1915. Mrs. Watson, also a leading figure in Hanover's drama activities, died in 1953. The Watsons' son inherited an interest in the theatre, studied at Bennington's Theatre Studio, and after World War II service was scene designer for the Seattle Playhouse. He now teaches art at Skagit Valley Junior College, near Anacortes, Wash.

A memorial service will be held in Hanover in June when Professor Watson's Class of 1902 returns for its 60th reunion.

CHARLES LEONARD STONE '17, Professor of Psychology Emeritus, died in Hanover on December 4, after a long illness. He was 72 years old.

Professor Stone taught at Dartmouth for 39 years, beginning the year he was graduated, and was responsible primarily for the large introductory course in his field. At the time of his retirement in 1956, he was the first member of the Department of Psychology ever to reach emeritus status here, the other professors of this comparatively young department having transferred to other institutions.

A native of Concord, N.H., Professor Stone had been principal of five different grammar schools in New Hampshire and Massachusetts before he enrolled at Dartmouth in 1914 at the age of 25. These schools were in Northwood Ridge and Claremont in New Hampshire, and in Hanson, Russell, and Gilbertville in Massachusetts. Professor Stone completed the Dartmouth course in three years and won Phi Beta Kappa honors. Having served as student assistant in psychology in his senior year, he was invited to stay on as instructor in 1917. He was promoted to assistant professor in 1920 and to full professor in 1926.

Professor Stone took his Master's degree at Dartmouth in 1921, working in the field of scholastic aptitude tests. He did further graduate study at Teachers College, Columbia University, and at Harvard. Teaching at summer sessions took him to the University of Kentucky, Rochester University, Columbia, Colorado, and M.I.T., where he taught for nine years and also devised a series of intelligence tests for the institute.

During World War I, Professor Stone was engaged in psychological testing at Camp Devens. and at Camp Greenleaf. In the Twenties he was a member of the Scholastic Aptitude Commission and served on the College Entrance Examination Board. Much of his early writing in psychology and educational journals was on the subject of testing. Later, along with psychology articles and reviews, he wrote a great deal about general education and curriculum reform.

As member and chairman of the Committee on Educational Policy for various terms, Professor Stone had a strong influence on the development of Dartmouth's educational program. He was chairman of the committee from 1944 to 1947 and directed the postwar revision of the curriculum into some of the forms it has today.

Professor Stone was an advocate of general education because it provided a focus and a central purpose to title college curriculum. Attacking random growth and promiscuous additions to faculty staff and course offerings, he wrote that "faculty members must be chosen and courses accepted and organized for some central and common purpose. .. Education is not a thing but a relation to life, and that life is not an accumulation but a fruition and a purpose."

Professor Stone was a deacon of the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College, a Life Member of the American Psychological Association and a Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a Mason and a member of Zeta Psi and Phi Delta Kappa.

Professor Stone was married in 1921 to the former Flora Amanda Sterling of Everett, Mass., who survives him. There were no children. Funeral services were held December 7 at the Church of Christ, with burial in the Pine Knoll Cemetery, Hanover.

Bishop Dallas, D.D. '22

THE RT. REV. JOHN THOMSON DALLAS, retired Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire and former Rector of St. Thomas Church in Hanover, died December 5 at the age of 81. Since retirement in 1948 he had made his home in Lee, N. H.

Although he was Rector in Hanover for only six years, 1919 to 1925, Bishop Dallas returned to Hanover often and was greatly beloved in the community. He was the friend of hundreds of Dartmouth men, many of whom had him officiate at their weddings. As teacher and churchman, Bishop Dallas was deeply interested in working with young people, and all through his career he was connected with schools and colleges. He left St. Thomas Church in 1925 to become Vicar of St. Paul Cathedral, Boston, and the next year he was consecrated the fifth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire.

Bishop Dallas was buried in the Dartmouth Cemetery following a service at St. Paul Church, Concord, and a second service at St. Thomas Church, Hanover, at both of which Bishop Hall of New Hampshire officiated.

After receiving his C.E. degree from the Thayer School in 1910, he went to work for the American Bridge Co. in New York. This was the beginning of Bob's creative engineering career which included responsible positions with H. G. Balcom Construction Co., Schultze and Weaver, and George A. Fuller Co. Prior to his retirement in 1953 he had added to his accomplishments the erection of numerous hotels, such as the Waldorf-Astoria, resort clubs, and office buildings, and supervision of the construction of Quonset Naval Air Station and the Atomic Energy Plant at Hamilton, Ohio.

On November 10, 1910, Bob was married to Alice Parker Charlton in St. Anne's Episcopal Church in the Bronx. Three sons were born to them: Robert Jr. of Trenton, N. J.; Irvine Phillips of Rockville Centre, L. I.; and Francis Parker of Vienna, Va.

After his tour in Washington, D. C., he was stationed in Seattle and later began flight training in Pensacola, Fla. The accident occurred on a routine flight with another officer.

Charlie is survived by his wife Jean of 3324 West 34th Ave., Denver 11, Colo., and three children, Suzanne, Heidi and Charles Augustus Myers III; also by his mother, Mrs. Charles A. Myers of 100 East Palisade Ave., Englewood, N. J., and a sister, Edith.

A phone call from Breck Viets brought the sad news of Charlie's untimely death. He was especially close to those of us who were stationed in Washington, D. C., and it was there that we had the pleasure of meeting and coming to know Charlie's bride
