Faculty

RALPH PENROSE HOLBEN, A.M. '35, Professor of Sociology Emeritus, died at Dick's House on July 24, the victim of cancer. He was 74 years old.

Professor Holben, whose fields of specialization were social maladjustment and criminology, retired from the active faculty in June 1960 after 39 years of particularly effective teaching in his department. In the later years of his career he centered his interest and teaching more and more on criminology, and his Sociology 57 was a heavily elected course. For two years prior to retirement he also offered seminars in juvenile delinquency to qualified students from several departments. He served on the New Hampshire Board of Probation for a number of years, and during one sabbatical he made a country-wide survey of the federal prisons in the United States. On another sabbatical, with the London School of Economics as a base, he made a study of the prison systems in England and France.

Professor Holben was born in Weisenberg, Pa., on December 26, 1891. He attended nearby Allentown High School and was graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in 1913. His first graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania was in history, resulting in an M.A. there in 1914. He was a Harrison Scholar at the University the next year, and began his teaching career at the Thomas Arnold School for boys in Chicago, 1915-16. He then became head of the history department at Allentown High School and taught there for the next five years while working toward his Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Pennsylvania.

He came to Dartmouth as Instructor in Sociology and Citizenship in 1921 and two years later, upon completion of his Ph.D., was promoted to assistant professor. He became a full professor in 1935 and at that time received Dartmouth's honorary faculty A.M. degree.

With other staff members of a general education course in social science Professor Holben was co-author of two textbooks, An Introduction to the Social Sciences (1941) and Fundamentals of Social Science (1946). Among his published articles was "Science Goes to Prison" in the August 1931 Atlantic Monthly.

Professor Holben was a member of the American Sociological Society, the National Probation and Parole Association, Delta Upsilon fraternity, and the Masons. He was a deacon of the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College for six years and senior deacon in 1949-50.

Professor Holben was married in 1915 to Rhea A. Erdman of Allentown, Pa. He is survived by his wife and a son, Ralph E. Holben '39, a Ph.D. in economics, who is a U. S. Foreign Service officer in Pakistan.

Funeral services were held July 27 at the Church of Christ and burial was in Pine Knolls Cemetery, Hanover.

1903

ROBERT (BOB) MCGOWAN, of 436 Washington Street, Wellesley Hills, Mass., died on June 29.

Bob was born September 21, 1880 in Leeds, England. He prepared at Grafton High School, Grafton, Mass. After graduation he was an actuary with Prudential Life Insurance Company, and in 1938 he became Statistician of American Mutual Liability Insurance Company of Boston.

In 1909 he married Edith A. Bruckman, who survives him, as do a son and grandson. Our sympathy goes out to his family.

In 1960 Bob was presented with a Gold Token by the Benevolent Lodge No. 45, F. & A.M., in recognition of his 50 years as a member. He had served as Worshipful Master in 1917.

In his reply to a Class questionnaire earlier this year, Bob summed up his life with the following words: "Just the continuance of a very, very happy life."

1904

THOMAS WINTHROP STREETER died on June 12 of a heart ailment in Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey. He was born in Concord, N. H., July 20, 1883 and prepared for college at St. Paul's School, entering Dartmouth with the Class of 1904, which he served as treasurer and member of the executive committee during most of the years after graduation.

Tom's Dartmouth heritage was a rich one. In four of the six generations of his family since 1777, when his great-great-grandfather was graduated, there have been Dartmouth graduates, and in a fifth generation, represented by his grandfather who was Chief Justice of New Hampshire, an honorary degree was awarded. Tom's father, Frank S. Streeter '74, was a distinguished lawyer, a generous benefactor of Dartmouth, and a hard-working Trustee from 1892 until 1932. Streeter Hall was named in his honor. The latest Streeter to become an alumnus of the College is Thomas W. Jr. '44.

Tom Streeter's scholarly capabilities became apparent early in his undergraduate days. Only four honors were awarded in special subjects at our graduation and Tom won two of them, in History and in French.

Although he achieved recognition for outstanding accomplishments in the fields of law and finance, Tom will be remembered longest for his three-volume bibliography of Texas, covering the years 1795-1845. As early as 1920 he began to collect books in a serious way, especially historical Americana. Business travel in Texas aroused his interest in that remarkable state and for more than forty years he collected books, pamphlets, and other material relating to Texas.

As the volumes of the bibliography appeared they met with great acclaim. Even before the third volume appeared the California Historical Society in 1962 awarded the author its Henry R. Wagner Memorial Award, citing the two first volumes as "a monument of excellence in its field, which scholars may seek to emulate but never surpass." Nationwide recognition was given the bibliography as the definitive authority in its field.

Membership in many historical and learned societies, in which he became president of several, occupied part of his time. He was formerly chairman of the Fellows of the Pierpont Morgan Library and a member of advisory committees of other great libraries including those of Dartmouth, Yale, and Princeton. From the New York Historical Society he' received its Gold Medal for Distinguished Service in 1957. Dartmouth honored him with the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in 1946.

Following graduation from the Harvard Law School in 1907 Tom practiced law in Boston for some ten or twelve years. Business affairs into which his legal work had drawn him required most of his time in New York, and he decided to discontinue his Boston law practice. His activities in New York expanded rapidly and soon he was holding top positions in the American International Corporation, Simms Petroleum Company, the Mortgage Certificate Loan Company and other large companies. Following the great depression he was assigned to liquidate the Bank of the United States, one of the largest banks in financial history to suffer forced liquidation. The promptness with which he adjusted the bank's affairs so that the completion of the task became a routine matter excited the admiration of the business world. Later, Tom was called on to supervise the liquidation of the Prudence Bond Corporation. Against strong opposition he felt it his duty to bring suit against the trustees > some of whom had been influential in choosing him as liquidating agent. His integrity and good judgment resulted in the recovery of over six million dollars from the trustees.

In 1917 Tom married a young lady of charm and talent, Ruth Cheney, who provides an answer to the old question, "Can a woman have a successful career and also be a good wife and mother?" Ruth Streeter could and did. Tom and Ruth are one of the infrequent instances in which both husband and wife are included in Who's Who. They had three sons and a daughter, and for nearly half a century enjoyed an ideal family life.

Too much space would be required to list all of Tom's civic activities and his services during two World Wars. He was active in various responsible capacities in his city, state and in Washington. Among the many positions he had held were: first Chairman of the New Jersey Aviation Commission, President of the Morris Community Chest in Morristown, and director and member of the Executive Committee of the First National Iron Bank of Morristown.

Like his father, Tom had an active and continuing interest in all Dartmouth affairs. He was a member of the Alumni Council, 1921-1923, and during two years of that term the Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee. He and his father donated the funds for the replacement of the organ in Rollins Chapel. He met the cost of building and finishing a beautiful room in Baker Library for the housing of the Ticknor Library, the furniture and books having been given to Dartmouth previously by Mr. and Mrs. William Dexter. The room was dedicated at the sixtieth reunion of the Class Qf 1904, with most of the reuning members present. His last contribution to his college was the bequest in his will of $50,000 for the establishment \ of scholarships in honor of his longtime devoted friend, Basil (Doc) O'Connor '12.

Surviving Tom are his widow, Ruth; three sons: Frank S. of New York, Henry S. of Boston, Thomas W. Jr. '44 of Plainfield, N. J.; a daughter, Mrs. Britton Chance of Philadelphia; nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Tom Streeter was a true Dartmouth stalwart. His college honored him and his classmates loved and respected him. He was a product of the William Jewett Tucker era and worthily exemplified the ideals inculcated by that great and revered President.

1905

With the passing of Dr. OSCAR BOWEN GILBERT, the City of Exeter, N. H., lost a civic leader and a devoted medical practitioner. He died at his home, 66 Front Street, on June 19 after some years of failing strength and final loss of sight.

Born in Woonsocket, R. I., August 18, 1882, Oscar entered Dartmouth from there and continued his studies at Dartmouth Medical School where he received his M.D. in 1907. After some years of practice, including eight years in Woonsocket, Oscar returned to Dartmouth Medical School as Assistant Professor of Pharmacology.

In 1924 Oscar started a private practice in Exeter where he continued until his retirement in 1954. He was founder of the Exeter Clinic in 1946, an important adjunct to the medical services in his town. In 1961 he was accorded the First Citizen's Award by the Exeter Lions Club.

Oscar was a member of the Runneymead Society of Philadelphia, Society of Colonial Wars, the Exeter Historical Society, American Medical Association, Mayflower Society, and was for fifteen years on the New HampshireState Board of Medicine. While his health permitted, he found great interest in his hobbies of stamp collecting, cabinet making, genealogy, and in gathering a collection of antique sugar tongs.

He is survived by his widow, Helen (Locke) Gilbert; two daughters; a son, Dr. John E. '35 of Northampton, Mass.; nine grandchildren;, and a sister.

ERNEST TROWBRIDGE GREGORY died July 29 at Beverly Hospital in Massachusetts. He had suffered a fall and broken hip in June and never recovered from the effects of that fall.

At the end of his freshman year Ernest left college to start earning a living. He remembered his year at Dartmouth with affection and was a loyal supporter of the College all his life.

After some years of selling securities in Boston, Albany, and New York, Ernest joined with other men to form his own firm. Shortly before World War I, Ernest was sent to China on behalf of Lee, Higginson and the American International Corporation to negotiate a loan with the Chinese Government to finance the construction of an important canal and railroad. It was a great disappointment to Ernest when the war prevented the consummation of this project.

In World War I he served as first lieutenant in the Field Artillery and was in France briefly as an observer.

After the war he joined the First National Bank of Boston where he helped form the Corporation of the First National Bank and became the President of the Corporation. After leaving this institution in 1926, .he became associated with a number of firms in Boston and New York.

In 1905 Ernest married Mary B. Brooke; after her death in 1957 he continued on alone in their long time home in Wenham, Mass. He is survived by two sons: John B. '35, and Ernest T. Jr., a daughter Mary, and ten grandchildren.

1909

CLIFTON ALBERT SNOW passed away in the New York Veterans Hospital on June 13 as the result of a fall at his home on June 7. He had been an invalid for the past eight years and barely able to walk alone the past six months, so was unable to stand the shock of the fractured hip.

1912

During the past winter Husky Farnum wrote the Secretary that he was "continuing to tutor to my full capacity and, on the side, bowling candlepins in an amateur league." That was the last word from him until the news came that he died suddenly on May 28 at his home in Lynn, Mass. Dora, his wife, wrote that he had been tutoring that evening and suddenly fell to the floor.

CLIFTON CLARK TAYLOR passed away on May 31 after a long illness due to cancer with pulmonary and cardiac complications. During the last five months of his illness he made his home with his sister in Cheshire, Conn. He was a direct descendant of Samuel Beardsley, one of the first settlers of Stratford, Conn.

Clif Taylor was born on January 21, 1891 at Bridgeport, Conn. He prepared for college at Bridgeport High School and while at Dartmouth was an honor student, winning honorable mention in German and graduating cum laude. He entered Harvard Medical School from which he graduated in 1916.

Walter F. Thomas was for sixteen years a rubber manufacturer with Tyler Rubber Company, U. S. Rubber Company, and Lowell Insulated Rubber Company at Lowell, Mass. From plant superintendent he became general manager and assistant treasurer. He retired in 1931 and has since been known as a humanitarian and financier.

Tommy was a lover of Dartmouth, and almost the last piece of mail he was able to take notice of was the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. One of his last letters was to Lyman Armes about "all my fine classmates who have been a great inspiration to me and made my life worth living."

1913

1913 classmates of THEO STEPHEN JEWETT will be sorry to hear that he passed away on August 21 at the Laconia Hospital, from which he had been released the previous day.

Judge Jewett was widely known in the legal profession throughout New Hampshire. He was born in Laconia on December 24, 1891 where the Jewett family has lived since "at least 1780." Consequently "T.D." was well versed in the history of the area and had accumulated a vast amount of material on the subject.

After graduating from Columbia Law School in 1917, he joined his father's law firm; and in 1949 his son, Stephen '4O, in turn became a member of the family organization. All through his life T.D. was an active and contributing member of his community. Over the years T.D. and Marian were always at our class reunions, as organizers and enthusiastic leaders. All of us will miss his presence. In his family circle are his wife, Marian, his son, daughter, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

1914

Another member of our class who failed to keep in touch after leaving Hanover has passed away. Colonel GEORGE RUSSELL JONES died on October 9, 1964, according to word received from his widow, Gertrude V. Jones, who now resides at 284 South Allen Street, Albany, N. Y.

ROGER COURTLAND RICE died at his home, 86 Adams Avenue, Saugus, Mass., on July 14, following an illness of six months. Funeral services were held in Boothbay Harbor, and the Class was represented by Win Loveland, his college roommate and life-long friend.

Roger was born in Hyde Park, Mass., on January 22, 1891, the son of Emerson Rice '87. He came to Dartmouth from Hyde Park High School and was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. During 1917-18 he served with the Army Ordnance in France and, after returning from overseas, married Louise Emery on June 30, 1919.

From 1920 to 1928 he was in the real estate business in Colonia, N. J., and Nokomis, Fla. In 1925 he established the Roger C. Rice Real Estate Co. in Boothbay Harbor, Me., which he operated in the summers for 40 years. In 1928 his family moved to Saugus, Mass., where he was an insurance agent from 1933 to 1956. Roger was active in community affairs, serving the Lions Club as president and was also on the school committee. He was also a member of the Masons and American Legion.

His love of Dartmouth must have been inherited from his father and passed along to his son and grandson. Over an 80-year scan, four successive generations of Rices have been represented in the Classes of '87, '14, '42, and '67. He had attended most of the reunions over the years and many of his classmates have pleasant memories of the informal reunion in Boothbay Harbor in 1927, at which Roger and Louise served as host and hostess.

Besides Louise, he is survived by a son Emery '42, two daughters, and six grandchildren. The large attendance at the funeral service was a tribute to the respect and esteem which he had built up over the years. It seems fitting that his final resting place is high on a hill looking out toward the Atlantic and the coast of Maine which he loved.

SOUTHER MEAD passed away on May 25 in Burlington, Vt.

For many years Souther was an air conditioning engineer, but he did not keep in touch with the College and details on his life are not available.

His widow, Louise, whom he married in 1925 survives him at Weston, Vt. They had two children, a son and a daughter.

1915

He was married in 1919 to Carol Florence Heath of Lowell, Mass., who died in 1958. Surviving are a daughter and three grandchildren. Funeral services and burial were at Hartsville, S. C., on June 30. Significantly, his annual contribution to the Alumni Fund was received on the date of his passing, which was also his birthday.

1916

JOHN JOSEPH CORTIN, retired sales manager of the Wire and Cable Department of the General Electric Co., died suddenly at Lynn Hospital, Lynn, Mass., on June 4. Jack, who resided at 200 Western Avenue, Lynn, was born April 8, 1894 in Lynn and attended St. Joseph's Institute and Lynn Classical High School before entering Dartmouth.

He served with distinction in World War I, attending the ROTC at Plattsburg in May 1917, then the Royal Flying School in Canada. He was a ferry pilot attached to the British Royal Air Force and later to the U. S. 135th Aero Squadron, returning home with the rank of captain, and with the award of a Silver Star for his services overseas.

After the war Jack entered the employ of the General Electric Co. and his career spanned 45 years with company's sales department. He was employed in Schenectady, Fort Wayne, and Lynn. He retired six years ago. He was active in civic affairs in his home town, was past exalted ruler of Lynn Lodge of Elks, and a member of Valladolid Council 70, Knights of Columbus.

Jack was never married and is survived by five sisters and several nieces and nephews. A funeral service was held in Lynn June 8, followed by a Solemn High Mass in St. Pius V Church. A delegation of Dartmouth alumni attended the services, including String Downing '15, Jiggs Donahue '18, and Israel Eigner, Jack Welch, Dick Parkhurst, Duffy Lewis, and Joe Newmark of his own Class.

ROGER EARLE MORSE, who resided at 30 Whiting Road, Wellesley Hills, Mass., died July 5 at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

He was born November 18, 1893 in Roxbury, Mass., and attended Roxbury Latin School before entering Dartmouth where he graduated from the College in 1916 and from the Tuck School in 1917. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, of which he was president his senior year.

Returning from service with the Army Ordnance in France, Roger joined his father in the rendering business, James F. Morse and Co., Roxbury, which was started by his grandfather in 1840. He served as senior partner until his death and was instrumental in founding rendering associations, one in New England and one on a national level. He served as president of both associations for some years.

He was a corporator of Eliot Savings Bank of Roxbury, past president and director of the University Club of Boston, an organizer of New England Badminton Association, and later one of the founders of the National Badminton Association.

PARKER ALBA HICKS grew up and died in the North Country at Colebrook, N. H. He was born October 1, 1904, graduated from Colebrook Academy, contributed to literary magazines while in College, and returned to Colebrook in 1933 to divide his attention between teaching and operating a retail hardware business which was later combined with a lumberyard business when his father died.

Married to Theresa (Clark) in 1925, they had two sons, Parker Jr. '47 and Richard, and eight grandchildren. His mother also survives him. We had no word of his being in the Hanover hospital where he died July 24, after a brief illness. Our Class Memorial Book will be in the field of English Literature, for Theresa says "... he surely never stopped teaching it."

For the first nine years, Parker taught in high schools and a junior college, and Hanover's Clark School where many friends were made. English literature was his early vocation and later his avocation. He was deeply interested in youngsters and one of his major ventures on or off the School Board was to develop scholarship funds. (Memorial gifts may. be sent to C. W. Pike, Box 126, Colebrook, N. H. 03576.) Parker was both founder and worker for this fund at Colebrook Academy.

Being blessed with a successful business permitted him to spend the winters in a Tampa, Fla., home and summers in Canada.

The Class extends our deepest sympathy to Lillie and the girls.

On May 31, 1965 the mysterious dissappearance of ROGER HEYWOOD HILDRETH was solved with the discovery of his skeletal remains in dense underbrush in Baxter State Park, Maine, near Mount Katahdin. More than a year previously he had left his campsite in the Roaring Brook section to hike toward or up the mountain to watch the sunrise, a hike from which he never returned; nor was any trace of him then found despite intensive searching by forest rangers for a period of more than a week.

Roger joined our class in sophomore year, and did not return to Hanover for his senior year; consequently only scant biographical data is available. It is remembered that in 1940 he returned for reunion, but in recent years he had maintained only minimum contact with the Class.

At the time of his disappearance, Roger was operating a successful real estate business in Lowell, Mass., and this had been his field of work for many years, for the most part in his native town of Westford, a suburb of Lowell. He had participated in several civic activities, including membership in the Board of Assessors, and had been town moderator for ten years. He is survived by his widow, the former Grace Crosby; and his parents.

ROBERT MARSH WILLIAMSON, who gave unstintingly of himself in the service of Dartmouth and the Class of 1934, died August 26 while vacationing at South Chatham, Mass., on Cape Cod.

Bob, 1934 Class Agent, succumbed to a heart attack less than two months after he directed his classmates to a record performance in the 1965 Alumni Fund drive. Although he had limited his business activity since suffering a heart attack last year, Bob - typically - worked "full time" for his beloved Dartmouth, in keeping with a pledge that "service to the College will always be a part of my activity in whatever way I can." He had long been active in Alumni Fund drives. Just before his untimely passing, he already had begun mapping plans for an even more effective Class effort next year.

A native of Narbeth, Pa., Bob had observed his 53rd birthday anniversary on August 7. He entered Dartmouth from Hinsdale (Ill.) High School, where he was president of his sophomore class, a member of the student council and of the football, basketball, track and tennis teams. At Dartmouth, he majored in economics and was a member of Zeta Psi.

He had gone to Chicago the previous Wednesday to attend the National Restaurant Association convention and was stricken as he got off the train on Thursday.

Frank was born September 2, 1915 in Harrisburg, Pa. He attended Edison Jr. High School, and Harrisburg Academy before coming to Dartmouth. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta. Well do we remember the many house parties with Miss Sue Black, who became his wife. He was that rare combination of man and boy in one package - the maturity that comes with experience and the buoyancy of youth he never lost. After graduation he went to work for the Davenport Restaurant. During World War II he served as a Naval officer aboard a destroyer.

He was Vice-President of Davenport Lunch, Inc., and Director of Bickford, Inc. He was also a director of the National Restaurant Association and the Pennsylvania Restaurant Association. Frank was a member of the Board of the Keystone Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America and Harrisburg Hospital, both United Fund Agencies.

1943

A routine address check uncovered the death of TIMOTHY REYNOLDS DONOVAN in Detroit, December 13, 1961. Tim was born in Detroit on August 20, 1921, later graduated from Grosse Pointe High School, and followed the Dartmouth tradition of his brothers Lane '36 and Bill '42. At Dartmouth Tim belonged to Zeta Psi and majored in economics.

While in the Air Corps, he married Margaret Kretchschmar, and they had a daughter Debra. Tim graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, later worked for Army as an attorney, then in the law firm of Kremlick and Donovan.- After his remarriage he worked for the Welfare Department in Detroit. His widow, Jacquelin, is now Mrs. Marshall Pease of Detroit.

Tim Donovan at Dartmouth was a dark, handsome Irishman with a terrific zest for life. Quiet and unassuming, he had many loyal friends in the college who enjoyed his wit and intellect. His generosity and kindness often went unnoticed in the busy college life except for those recipients who knew him really as a friend in deed. We are sad to lose this classmate and doubly so in so late discovering the loss.
