Faculty

THOMAS JOHNSTONE DENT, Assistant Professor of Physical Education Emeritus, who before his 1960 retirement coached the Dartmouth soccer team for 36 years and the lacrosse team for 34 years, died May 10 at his home in Fairlee, Vt., of a heart attack.

" One of the beloved figures in Dartmouth athletics, Tom Dent had a host of undergraduate and alumni friends who will be grieved by his sudden passing. At the time of his retirement mail flooded in from all over the country, and Coach Dent often said that the lasting friendships with Dartmouth men in every class over the past four decades were the richest satisfaction of his coaching years.

He was nationally prominent in both soccer and lacrosse and in 1951 received the annual award of the National Soccer Coaches Association for his contributions to the game of soccer. He served on three Olympic Soccer Committees, conducted a soccer clinic for troops in Germany in 1952, and was past president of both the New England and Ivy League soccer coaches associations. He was also president of the New England and Ivy League lacrosse coaches associations, served on several national committees, and was. head coach of the North squad in the annual North-South All-Star Lacrosse Game.

A native of Stirling, Scotland, Tom Dent came to this country to recuperate from a gassing suffered in World War I while serving with the British Army's 52nd (Black Watch) Highland Regiment. A "short visit" to Hanover resulted in his being named Dartmouth soccer coach in 1924. He had starred in the sport while at Birmingham University and also- with the professional Aston Villa team in England.

The Dartmouth soccer teams coached by Tom Dent had an overall record of 144 wins, 102 losses, and 23 ties. In the early 1950s his soccer men had a winning streak of eighteen games, including the undefeated 1954 season.

When Dartmouth decided to add lacrosse to its intercollegiate athletic program in 1926, Dent was named coach, although this was a sport in which he had not had any experience. Seven years later he produced an undefeated team. Well into the 1940s his Dartmouth lacrosse teams were all-powerful, winning nine New England championships in eleven years. The 1933 and 1936 teams were undefeated. His overall record for 34 seasons was 192 wins, 126 losses, and three ties.

Coach Dent was actively interested in the outdoor life of the College and the State, and he had served as chairman of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission. At the time of his retirement in 1960 his friends contributed funds for a Tom Dent Cabin to be built on the banks of the Connecticut River. Memorial gifts are now being added to this cabin fund, in care of Director of Athletics Robert A. Rolfe.

Survivors include Coach Dent's widow, Ellen; two daughters, Mrs. Robert Ward of Fairlee, Vt., and Mrs. Richard H. Hinman ('45) of Barrington, Ill.; eight grandchildren; and a brother, William, who lives in Scotland.

William A. Eddy, M.A. '34

WILLIAM ALFRED EDDY, M.A. '34, who taught English at Dartmouth from 1928 to 1936, died May 3 at the American University Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon, following a cerebral thrombosis. In his varied and at times exciting career Colonel Eddy was a Marine hero, teacher, college president, diplomat, intelligence agent, and oil consultant. He spent a good part of his life in the Middle East, where he was born, and at the time of his death was consultant to the TransArabian Pipe Line Co. and the Arabian American Oil Co.

Graduating from Princeton in 1917, he served with the Marines in World War I and was decorated for "extraordinary heroism." After the war he took his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1922 and became chairman of the English department at American University in Cairo, Egypt. In 1928 he joined the Dartmouth faculty, becoming a full professor in 1934. He resigned this post in 1936 to accept the presidency of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where he announced in 1941 that he was "definitely out of love" with being a college administrator and returned to the Marine Corps to be U. S. naval attache at Cairo. Later, in Tangiers, he worked with General William J. Donovan of the O.S.S. and General Mark Clark, and in a series of daring moves helped lay the groundwork for the Allied invasion of North Africa in 1943. In 1944 he was named the first Minister Plenipotentiary from the U. S. to Saudi Arabia, holding this post until 1946 when he became head of the State Department's intelligence unit. He assumed the job of consultant for Aramco in 1947 and for Tapline in 1957, but had not been fully active for the past few years.

Colonel Eddy had many Hanover friends and often returned to the College after leaving the faculty. He leaves his wife, Mary (Garvin) Eddy; two sons, the Rev. William A. Eddy Jr. of Bloomington, Ind., and John C. Eddy, Dartmouth '46, of Des Moines, Iowa; and two daughters, Mrs. Robert Furman of Bethesda, Md., and Mrs. John A. Constinette Jr. of Washington, D. C.

His first job was as master of St. Andrew's School, Concord, Mass., for two years and then for two more years managing editor of Town Development Magazine. In 1917 he enlisted as a private in the aviation section of the Army signal corps. He saw service in England. France and Italy. In 1919 he was honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant major. In World War II he served as Editor P-4, Historical Branch, Chemical Warfare Service in Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Edgewood Ar- senal, and Camp Sibert, Alabama.

Although his life was devoted to writing, his range of activities was wide.

Newton out of Naples, the master was shot, the deck crew fell sick and King, an inexperienced seaman, held the wheel almost continuously for 72 hours. In the Atlantic they ran into blinding fog for five days, beat home with no coal in the bunkers, and two of the crew in irons for attempted murder.

His life as an author is best described by his own words in a letter. "When absolutely necessary I write a story for any one of a dozen magazines. I range from NorthAmerican Review and Saturday EveningPost to Ranch Romances and the WildWest Weekly. I always do over forty stories a year which take from two days to two weeks to perpetrate. Winters I usually go abroad, having seen a good deal of England, Spain, the Azores, Greece, Portugal, and Italy. I lived something more than three years in Mussolini-land and Italian North Africa. I have beaten roulette at Monte Carlo and got beaten by baccarat at Pau, so I am one down to France and one up on Monaco."

ALEXANDER THOMAS SKAKLE died March 23 at his home, 16 Buttonwood Lane, Weston, Mass. Skake was a quietly competent man on the campus, and his classmates recognized in spite of his shyness, a friendliness and a sense of purpose that would take him far in his chosen work and would earn him the highest regard and affection of his colleagues and townspeople. This estimate was amply borne out in a highly successful career as newspaper man, banker, civic servant, and devoted family man.

1931

Friday the 13th certainly struck our Class a blow when death took our all-American friend PAUL JOSEPH CREHAN from our membership. "Chucker" was all-American through and through - not only as an athlete, but to his friends and to his associates within his profession.

"Bridgeton School; Beta Theta Phi; Kappa Phi Kappa; Sphinx; Freshman Football; Varsity Football; Major Department, Physics" -these are the entries under his name in our yearbook - simple, but very much to the point just as Chucker always was. In his junior year he was selected on Collier's Ail-American team.

Even while studying medicine at the University of Vermont he found time to serve as varsity line coach. After med school he took his surgery training at the Mallor Institute of Pathology and interned at Boston City Hospital.

Although born in the Boston area, he lived the greater part of his life in Medford where he established his reputation as a leading surgeon. He was on the staff of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Winchester Hospital, Choate Hospital, Maiden Hospital, and the New England Sanitarium.

St. Luke's Guild, the Holy Name Society, the Winchester Country Club and a directorship of the Depositors Trust Co. of Medford were among his many civic activities.

Chucker leaves his wife Marie (Foley), whom he married June 15, 1937; a son, Paul Jr.; a daughter, Ann; three sisters, Mrs. Ralph Flynn and Mrs. Francis Clifford, both of West Roxbury, and Sister St. Thais of the Convent of the Good Shepherd; and five brothers, John J. of Hyde Park, Mark T. of Canton, James of West Roxbury, Dr. Joseph P. '39 of West Medford, and Dr. Elmer L. Crehan '41 of Los Angeles.

DANIEL LESTER HARRIS III died April 29, 1962 at his home, 5216 Falmouth Rd. N.W., Washington, D. C., where he had been living the past four years. He previously lived in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Burial was at Springfield, Mass., on May 2.

Dan, son of the late Daniel L. Harris Jr. '17, was one of the outstanding men in our Class from the beginning. Since he had won laurels on the golf courses around Cleveland, where he prepared for Dartmouth at University School, it was natural that he became the star of our freshman golf team. He won his numerals and later his varsity D. He was a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a Senior Fellow. Danny also spent two years on the Business Board of The Dartmouth.

He worked as an actuarian for Prudential Insurance for a year following graduation, before going into the service as a private in the Air Corps. Four years later he was discharged as a Captain. In 1946 Danny combined his mathematics major at Dartmouth and his training as a navigator by working on a master's degree at Case Institute in Astronomy. Three years later he earned a Doctorate at the University of Chicago where he became an Assistant Professor in 1951. During this period he was also an Astronomer and Researcher at Yerkes Observatory. In Washington he woHeed for Electronic Nuclear Systems, and has been a contributor to EncyclopediaBritannica.

Dan never married. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Pauline Clark Harris, a brother, Chesley G. Harris '44, and a sister, Mrs. John Cutting. Sympathy is extended to these members of his family by all of Dan's classmates, who will miss his jovial smile and friendly nature at future class gatherings.

1942

ROBERT CLARK CRANE of Westfield, N. J., died April 24 at the Elizabeth General Hospital from cancer complications following almost two years of a fight to overcome the disease. Services, held on April 27 at the Westfield Presbyterian Church, were attended by many of Bob's former associates in the New Jersey State Senate as well as other friends from his public and personal life. Dick Baldwin represented our Class.

Bob lived, courageously optimistic, condensing many accomplishments into a relatively few years. He gave of himself without reservation to the ideals and institutions in which he believed. His passing is a great loss to his community and state, not to mention the schools that were so close to his heart. By deed and word, he has left an indelible impression in all areas to which he dedicated himself.

Bob was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1920, moving later to Elizabeth, N. J., where he attended Pingry School before entering Dartmouth.

Following the journalistic interest of the Crane family of two generations, he started as a copy boy for the Elizabeth Daily Journal in 1941. The first phase of what was to be a distinguished newspaper career was abruptly interrupted by his enlistment in the Army. Graduating from officers' candidate school in November 1942 as a second lieutenant, he was soon overseas serving in North Africa, Italy, Southern France, and Germany until December 1945. He was awarded the Bronze Star medal and was wounded in action in Northern Italy. At the time of his discharge in early 1946 he had attained the rank of captain.

After the. war,. Bob returned to The Journal where ho served in numerous capacities from editorial writer to general manager before becoming the youngest editor and publisher of a large daily newspaper in the country in 1948. At 28, he was honored as New Jersey's "outstanding young man of the year," receiving an award sponsored by the State Junior Chamber of Commerce. He remained as editor of the paper until February 1960, when the family interest was dissolved. He then established his own public relations firm, Paragraphs, Inc., in Elizabeth and wrote several articles for hunting and fishing magazines from his personal experiences during vacation trips to the Caribbean as well as Florida. His great love for New England resulted in a summer home on Lake Winnepesaukee where many enjoyable times were spent, and hopes generated to acquire ownership of a local paper to continue his publishing interest.

Bob's political career began in 1950 when he was appointed by Governor Driscoll to a committee to study the reasons behind a retailers' "strike" against the oil companies. The following year he became a member of the Union County Park Commission from which he resigned in 1953. Three years later he was elected to the New Jersey State Senate, filling a then unexpired term which led to his reelection to a full term in 1959 in an extremely close race. In the Senate, Bob was a strong supporter of laws curbing the publication and distribution of indecent literature and was instrumental in drafting legislation that added to the State's water resources providing for the construction of new reservoirs and the setting up of a long-range program for water conservation. He also led in the effort to bring about a revision of New Jersey's tax system and was a strong supporter for commuter railroad relief and reapportionment of the state assembly. In 1959 he was the Senator with the greatest number of bills enacted into law, many of which dealt with education. In November of 1960, Bob was appointed chairman of the New Jersey Tercentenary Commission, a post that held the excitement of his State's greatest celebration scheduled for the middle of this decade.

Bob's last appearance in the upper house occurred in January 1962 at which time, in an unusual action, his colleagues honored him by naming him the State Senate President for a week and the then Governor Meyner, as a courtesy, made him Acting Governor for a brief time. He resigned from the Senate in March on the advice of his physician.

Among the many organizations to which he devoted his time were the Interfaith Division of the Elizabeth United Jewish Appeal as chairman; president of the Elizabeth Good Neighbor Council; the New Jersey State Junior Chamber of Commerce; the Elizabeth Rotary Club and the New Jersey Press Association. He was a member of the Artists and Writers Association of New York and an honorary member of the Metropolitan Rod and Gun Editors Association. He also served on the Board of Managers of the Northern New Jersey Dartmouth Alumni Association.

Bob is survived by his wife Frances; two sons, Geoffrey and Jonathan; a daughter, Deborah; his mother, Mrs. Gwen K. Crane, and a sister, Mrs. Marian Graef, both of Westfield.

On behalf of all Bob's classmates, the sympathy of 1942 is extended to Fran and her family. We considered Bob one of the most outstanding and loyal members of our Class. He has left us a strong keritage of love, devotion, and gratitude to the College, which we as Class beneficiaries hope to. maintain over the years to come.

1943

ARTHUR HENRY CLEMENT died March 22, at Bergen Pines Hospital, Paramus, N. J., of a heart attack. Art's health in recent years had not been strong, but his passing came as a shock to all who knew him. He lived at 123 Fairview Ave. in Rutherford.

At Dartmouth, Art was a member of Sigma Nu. In World War II he was a Lt. (jg) USNR and served in the Pacific as a disbursing officer. After the war he was with CBS Radio sales and with Kelly Smith Advertising Agency, New York, in space advertising. For a time he lived in San Francisco but most of his life was spent in Rutherford, N. J., where he lived with his mother, Mrs. Ada Clement, his sole survivor. Most recently Art was the Night Dean at Fairleigh-Dickinson College, Morristown, N. J.

Art had a wide interest in community and Dartmouth affairs, and while his health did not permit extensive physical activity, he supported good causes with enthusiasm. His sudden loss prevented his distraught mother from notifying Dartmouth friends of the funeral. His Dartmouth classmates and friends express their sympathy to Mrs. Clement in losing this fine person.

1951

DAVID CHARLES STUART died suddenly on January 16 in Palm Beach, Fla., where he had been residing temporarily. His home was on Troxel Road in Lansdale, Pa.

Dave was born in Lansdale on July 15, 1927. He was graduated from the local high school, where he was a member of the Student Council and participated in dramatics, publications, the glee club, and sports. Prior to coming to Dartmouth, Dave also attended Episcopal Academy in Merion, Pa., and served 14 months in the Navy, where he attained the rank of Seaman First Class.

At Dartmouth, Dave majored in English drama. He was a member of The Players and the Outing Club and rowed for the J.V. Crew. He was an avid skier both as an undergraduate and in later years.

After graduation Dave's field was travel. During the summers he was a European tour director for the Olson Travel Organization of Chicago. During the winters he was a cruise director for the Cunard Steamship Co. on South American trips.

Dave, who did not marry, is survived by his parents, Robert W. and Abigail Stuart, and by a brother, Robert W. Jr.

1954

RICHARD EDWARD RAPHAEL died suddenly, in a car accident on April 22, near Graham, North Carolina. He was returning from an Easter vacation in the South with a friend, who was also killed in the crash. He lived at 227 Highland Ave., Upper Montclair, N. J.

Dick grew up in Brookline, Mass., and attended Brookline High School before coming to Dartmouth. At the college he was active in the marching and concert bands, and on radio station WDBS, where he was director of classical music programs. After his graduation from the College, and from the Tuck School in 1955, Dick worked in market research for several companies. In 1957 he joined the RCA Victor Service Company in Camden, N. J., and at the time of his death he was the manager of their Electronic Data Processing Service department for budgets and pricing.

His friends will always remember Dick for his sense of humor, his generosity, and his modesty. Those of us who knew him best were aware that this latter quality tended to obscure his genuine gifts of intelligence and sensitivity. His love of music, and especially his keen appreciation of what was fresh and vital in contemporary creation, initiated many of us into new discoveries in this area. Coming at a time when his real talents were beginning to make themselves felt, this accident seems all the more tragic and upsetting.

Dick is survived by his mother and father, and two brothers, all of whom live in Newton, Mass.
