1904
JAMES STEWART BROTHERHOOD died of a coronary occlusion at his home in Grand Rapids, Mich., on February 5. Born on March 20, 1881 in Brooklyn, N. Y., he was graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in 1900, Dartmouth College in 1904 and Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1908, with Phi Beta Kappa honors.
High ranks in his medical work earned him a position as Resident House Officer in the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Assistant in Medicine in the Medical School. His first independent practice was in Saratoga Springs and later in Clifton Springs, N. Y. He moved to Grand Rapids in 1915. Early in his residence there he established the first bacteriological laboratory in the city. For over 50 years he Practised medicine in Michigan as a general Practitioner, giving special attention to diagnosis, bacteriology and pathology. Two years were spent in the Army Medical Corps. From 1942 to 1946 he was in charge of the laboratories at Butterworth Hospital and from 1947 to 1953 he served as medical coordinator for the Michigan Crippled Children Commission, retiring in 1953 because of his age.
Jim was not yet ready for inactivity, however, and soon was located in Muskegon as Stall Physician in the Michigan County Sanatorium. He retired permanently in 1961 and returned to Grand Rapids to reestablish his residence there.
On September 4, 1912 Jim married Miss Zeta Shaw. They had only one son, also named Jim, who died some years ago, a heart-breaking loss for his parents. Family life in the Brotherhood household was ideal, as anyone who knew Jim and Zeta would surmise.
The 50th reunion report of the Class referred truthfully to Jim as "one of the most lovable members of 1904." He was respected and admired for his likeable qualities and his many talents. In physical stature Jim would have to be rated as small; in every other way, however, he was big. He played football in high school, was captain of the freshman team in college, and later played on the second varsity squad. He participated in dramatic performances in college and in one of the operettas produced by Clary Howes 'O3 he appeared as an alluring brunette maiden in the "Foldingdora" Sextette.
Dr. Brotherhood is survived by his widow, Zeta; a half-brother, a niece and two nephews.

The Class of 1906 has suffered a severe loss with the passing on January 30 of our Treasurer, NORMAN RUSSELL. We will miss his devoted, faithful service to the Class and College, and his outstanding personality. Until ill health came it seemed to us that Norm had changed little since college days, retaining always his frank, cheery, and friendly manner.
For almost 40 years Norm had been Treasurer, and, not long ago, at the annual class officers' meeting in Hanover, he was picked as the top class treasurer of the year for his fine record of accomplishment.
Norman was born in Newburyport, Mass., on May 19, 1884 and spent his entire life there except during World War II when he was in Washington, D. C., as a member of the War Production Board.

He was one of the city's best known citizens and served on the School Committee as well as the Common Council and the Board of Aldermen, being elected president of both of the latter bodies.
After the war Norman returned to Newbury-port and entered the automobile business. In 1948 he became a registered representative of Trusteed Funds, a mutual fund.
Norman was a charter member of the New-buryport Rotary Club and was regarded as the "father" of Amesbury Rotary. He also served as a district Governor of Rotary and at one time held a perfect attendance record at Rotary functions over 35 years.
Norman was a member of all Masonic bodies of the York and Scottish Rites and of Aleppo Temple. He was also active in the Odd Fellows and a member of the Dalton Club.
His widow, Helen, survives him at 9 Pond Street. He is also survived by his son, Robert.
Word has come of the death of EDWIN EUGENE WARNER on October 14, 1964. Ed was only with us freshman year and did not keep close contact afterwards, but many will remember him as a fine boy with an attractive personality.
Born in North Amherst, Mass., December 16, 1883, Ed played professional baseball with the Springfield and Northampton, Mass., teams in the old Connecticut League after leaving college.
Following early employment with the Indian Motor Cycle Co. and Gilbert and Barker in Springfield, Ed spent 32 years with the L. S. Starrett Co., makers of precision tools in Athol until retiring in 1951. In retirement he was associated with his son in Warner's Studio and Camera Shop, Athol.

1926
The College, and the Class of 1926, sustained a great loss in the sudden and untimely death of GORDON PARKHUKST CHIPMAN on February 6. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage at his home on Pumpkin Hill, New Milford, Conn.
Born July 23, 1903 in Winchendon, Mass. "Chip" came to Dartmouth in the fall of 1922 from Passaic High School. While at Dartmouth he was a moving factor in the creation of the Dartmouth broadcasting station, and with his hands the antenna towers were erected on Wilder. Following graduation from Tuck School in 1927, he spent many years as auditor, accountant, director of training, and research writer in the hotel industry; taught many hotel courses at Michigan State College; and for a few years owned and managed his own "Hotel Chip-Ahoy" in Cocoa, Fla. From 1953 to 1963 he was Sales Manager for the Denominator Company, and most recently he was associated with D. B. Hopkins Company as an advertising and sales promotion consultant.
Editor of the 1926 "Smoke Signals" from 1957 to the date of his death, his fame spread far beyond its avid readership in our class. The Class Newsletter Editors Association elected Chip as their president in 1962-63. The College saluted him as Class Newsletter Editor of the Year at the Class Officers Meeting in May 1963, accompanied by an eloquent citation from our own Sid Hayward.
A resolution voted by the Class in August 1964, printed in full., in the 1926 class notes in the November 1964 issue of the ALUMNI MAG- AZINE, concluded with the statement that " ... the Class of 1926 deeply appreciates the keenness and thoroughness of interest, the marked responsibility, and the spirited style of our classmate Gordon Chipman in editing 'Smoke Signals' for us."
Chip's last issue of "Smoke Signals," dated January 19, was received by most of us a day or two after his death. The closing lines said to us, "Stay warm and cozy, wherever you are — and I'll be seeing you in about a month." Alas, we'll always be seeing him in spirit now.
Chip was a loyal and devoted member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. He was national chairman of a recent campaign to raise funds for the purchase from the College of the house now occupied by the fraternity's resident chapter on Webster Avenue in Hanover.
One of his classmates wrote, "No man worked harder for Dartmouth and '26 than Chippy did. Practically singlehanded he revived the New York '26 class dinners which became a great thing." Twelve of Chip's classmates, and a few of their wives, attended the funeral services at St. John's Episcopal Church in New Milford.
A commemorative issue of "Smoke Signals," edited by class chairman Hub Harwood, was sent last month to Chip's classmates, to his family, and to some of his friends. In that special issue, Hub, speaking for the Class of 1926, pays tribute to Chip: "Ever loyal and dedicated to the interests of Dartmouth College and the Class of 1926; always brave and cheerful in the moments of adversity of which there were many in his lifetime; known so intimately the past seven years by every member of the class and their families as the imaginative and enthusiastic editor of our newsletter, he bound the Class together with his witty and yet poignant reporting of our joys, sorrows and accomplishments."
On June 15, 1933 Chip married Dolores Morant, who survives him at Pumpkin Hill, New Milford, Conn. He also leaves a daughter Patricia (Mrs. Evan) Lewis of Dayton, Ohio, and five grandchildren. The sympathy of the Class goes to Chip's family.

Harry's wife predeceased him by more than ten years, but he is survived by four children and four grandchildren, his mother, and two brothers. The family home is at 2335 Second Avenue, Corona del Mar, Cal.
DUDLEY MINTON DAY, always one of the regulars in the New York group until he moved to Germany, passed away in a hospital in Paris February 21 after suffering a heart attack. Since 1963 he had been living in Frankfurt where he was director of contracts and costs control for I.T.&T. in connection with its construction of a major military communications system.
Dud had been with I.T.&T. over twenty years in various capacities. One of his earlier assignments was representation of the company in obtaining restoration of properties seized by the Japanese in World War 11.

WILSON HENRY FLOHR died unexpectedly of a heart attack on February 19 in a hospital in Hackensack, N. J. This news saddens the whole class because Will most certainly would have been one of the mainstays of our 25th reunion this coming June. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his widow, Dorothy, and their three children who live at 130 Ridge Road, Rutherford, N. J.
Will entered with our class from Rutherford High School and quickly won many friends with his engaging grin and calm forbearance. He was captain of the freshman golf team, an honor he repeated at the varsity level also, and won the College Open Golf Tournament several times. He was a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and entered Tuck School during his senior year.
He and the former Dorothy Lindley were married in 1942 while he was a lieutenant in the Army Signal Corps. He was discharged as a captain in 1946 and returned to the field of accounting as an auditor with Arthur Andersen & Co. in New York City. Will subsequently became Office and Personnel Manager for that company before joining Curtiss-Wright's corporate auditing staff. Since 1959 he had been Controller of Dancer-Fitzgerald-Sample advertising agency.
The profound sympathy of the class, where his friends are legion, is extended to Dorothy, John, Wilson, and Kirby Elizabeth.
