Faculty
LESLIE FERGUSON MURCH, A.M. '22, Professor of Physics Emeritus, died May 13 in Hanover of a pulmonary cardiac failure following a two-week illness. He was 72 years old.
Although "Fergie" Murch retired from the faculty in 1955 after 36 years of teaching, those pea green freshmen continue to sing about "going out from Fergie's physics" and undoubtedly will do so for some time to come.
Professor Murch joined the Dartmouth faculty as an assistant in physics in 1915. Following two years of service with the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in World War 11, he returned to Hanover as an instructor in physics in 1919. He was named an assistant professor in 1924 and a full professor in 1935. Dartmouth awarded him an honorary A.M. degree in 1922.
As a teacher, Professor Murch concentrated on introductory courses, thus becoming known to hundreds of undergraduates in each Dartmouth class. Born in Hampden, Maine, March 18, 1893, he had earned his own undergraduate A.B. degree from Colby College in 1915, just before coming to Dartmouth.
In 1937 Professor Murch co-authored a physics text and a laboratory manual for use by first-year college physics students, and both were published by Harcourt Brace and used widely.
During World War 11, as director of the Navy V-12 physics program at the College, he became a teacher of teachers. The Navy required that all officer candidates take introductory physics, but the College didn't have enough physics teachers for the many sections of this intensive course. Instructors were "recruited" from other departments and were "crammed" by Professor Murch during evening sessions and a special Christmas vacation course in 1943.
An ardent golfer and fisherman, Professor Murch was president of the New Hampshire Golf Association for 1943-44 and served on the committee on sectional affairs of the U.S. Golf Association. A past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons in New Hampshire, he was also an Alumni Trustee of Colby College, 1936-42, and a member of the Dartmouth Athletic Council, 1929-35.
He was also a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Gamma Alpha (science society), American Association of Physics" Teachers, American Physical Society, American Association of University Teachers, and the American Legion.
Funeral services were held in the Rand Funeral Home in Hanover, with the Rev. Fred Berthold Jr. '45 officiating. Burial was in the Pine Knolls Cemetery.
DAVID M. H. KERN, Associate Professor of Chemistry, was found dead in his car on Rope Ferry Road, Hanover, early in the morning of May 29. An open canister of carbon monoxide gas was found in the car, and his death was ruled a suicide by the Grafton County medical referee.
Professor Kern, 37, had specialized in electrochemistry and had joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1954. He had been graduated from Harvard in 1946 at age 18 and received his doctoral degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1949.
He had also studied at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and at the Institute of Polarography in Prague. There he had worked with Jaroslav Heyrovsky, who won a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1959 for inventing and developing the Polarograph.
Professor Kern had received research grants from the National Science Foundation and the Research Corporation. These were principally for studies of the mechanisms of electrode reactions.
Professor Kern is survived by his mother, Mrs. Esther Kern of Beaufort, S. C., and a brother Edward Kern, of New York City.
A memorial service was held June 3 in Rollins Chapel, with the Rev. Fred Berthold Jr. '45 officiating.
1897
DR. ROY JOSLYN WARD of 9 Bellevue Street, Worcester, Mass., passed away on May 20. He was the former city health commissioner and a general practitioner in the city for more than 60 years.
After receiving his A.B. with the Class of 1897, Dr. Ward went on to earn his M.D. from the Medical School in 1900. In 1904 he settled in Worcester where he was to become the founder of the Medical Milk Commission. He fought tuberculosis by supervising the production and distribution of clean milk at stations established throughout the city. From 1908 to 1949 he was city school physician and in 1949 was named deputy health commissioner. He was appointed health commissioner in 1956. The Massachusetts Medical Society named him "General Practitioner of the Year" in 1956, and he received the "Beloved Physician Award" from the Greater Worcester Area Council of Churches in 1960.
In 1900 he married the former Mary Downing of Hanover, N. H., and he is survived by her and two sons, Carlton J. '32 and Arthur D. '34. He is also survived by six grandchildren, including Allen D. '61 and Stephen T. '65.
1898
JAMES RUSSELL CHANDLER, affectionately known as "Bucky" to a host of friends, died May 2, 1965 in Framingham Mass.
Bucky was born in Andover, Mass. on May 26, 1877, and came to Dartmouth from Punchard High. Graduating from Dartmouth in 1898, he obtained his LL.B. from Harvard in 1901, and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar that same year. After a few years as Boston manager of the American Surety Company's bonding department, he joined Gilmour Rothery Company and was a partner in the firm until his retirement in 1955.
Devoted to Dartmouth, he gave himself unselfishly to serving the College. In constant demand as an after-dinner speaker and storyteller, always with a genial smile, he enjoyed laughter as much as his audience. Active in Deke and C&G affairs for many years after graduation, he served on the Alumni Council, and was president of the Alumni Association of Boston. For ten years he was secretary of 1898, and later was class agent and bequest chairman. A charter member of the University Club of Boston, he was on the Board of Governors and chairman of the Admissions Committee for over twenty years.
The first ski train was sponsored by the Boston Chamber of Commerce through its Committee of Conventions and Tourists Bureaus, chaired by Bucky, an ardent winter sports fan.
Always interested in community affairs, he was a member of the Newton Board of Aldermen, president of the Waban Neighborhood Club, and active as a member of the Union Church, before moving to Plymouth in 1933. Bucky soon joined neighbors who were dedicated to expanding the Jordan Hospital, and giving Plymouth a top-flight institution. A long-time director, later its president, he made the hospital one of his favorite projects. Elected to the board of directors of the Plymouth Federal Savings and Loan Association, he served for twenty years as president, then chairman, before retiring in 1962.
In 1906, Bucky married Marie Bartlett, a sister of Joe Bartlett '98. Marie died in 1962. Their devotion to each other, a family of six children and seventeen grandchildren was an inspiration to all who knew them. Two sons, Josiah '30 and James '38, and four daughters survive him.
Funeral services were held at the Newton Cemetery chapel on May 5. The high regard in which Bucky was held seemed eloquently attested by the many who attended and the affectionate farewell of a close friend, Dr. Joseph C. Mac Donald, minister of the Union Church, Waban.
1903
Another of our dwindling group, HAROLD DEARBORN COMSTOCK, has passed away. He died May 10 at Saratoga, Calif.
Harold was born June 3, 1882 at Chelsea, Vt. He prepared at Kimball Union Academy. At Dartmouth he was awarded the Thayer prize in mathematics in 1900 and 1901. After graduation he went to Thayer School and was graduated with the degree of C.E.
Harold married Maude Laura Pierce of Mitchell, Neb., who died July 24, 1963. They had one daughter who survives, also three grandchildren, a sister, and two brothers, Donald '08, and Herbert '15.
Harold had a wide and varied engineering experience largely with irrigation, drainage, and recreation projects in the states of Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. He was a life member of American Society of Civil Engineers, and had served a five-year term on the executive committee of the irrigation division of that society, the last year as its chairman. For twenty years he was listed in "Who's Who in Engineering." He was also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
After the death of Mrs. Comstock, Harold moved to Toyon Lodge, Saratoga, Calif., to be near his daughter. He lived a varied and useful life in the highest traditions of his profession. He was an interested and loyal member of his Class and College.
The sincerest sympathy of the Class goes out to his family. We will miss him from our ranks.
1904
CHARLES IRVING LAMPEE died at his home, 9 Foxcroft Road, Winchester, Mass., on May 12. He was born in Chelsea, Mass., on September 28, 1881 and received his preparatory education in the schools of that city.
Irving was a member of Theta Delta Chi and the Dragon senior society. He was manager of the Aegis in his junior year and of the college band in his senior year. Pressed into service once when the cymbals player did not appear, "Squid" told the band leader that he could not read music. "That doesn't matter," said the leader, "just give those cymbals a whang whenever you think it will sound right."
Undoubtedly the greatest service to Dartmouth rendered by Irving was as Class Agent, a position he held for twenty years. His success was crowned in 1964 when he was awarded the James B. Reynolds Trophy as the outstanding head agent of a class more than 25 years out of college.
His successful business career was in the office equipment field. He was assistant sales manager of the Library Bureau of Boston from 1906 to 1925. In 1926 he became sales manager of the Filing Equipment Bureau and occupied that position until his retirement in 1954. He was a director of the American Postal Machine Co., the Boston Chapter of the National Society of Cost Accountants, and of the Filing Equipment Bureau, Inc. His clubs included the Newcomen Society of North America, the Bostonian Society, and the Nantucket Historical Society. He had been a Town Meeting Member in Winchester and was a long-time vestryman in the Church of the Epiphany.
In 1907 he married Marion Caverly who survives him as do their three daughters, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by a brother Thomas '12.
The College was still small when Irving Lampee came to Hanover. He watched it grow, and had an important part in this great development. His classmates are proud of him and are grateful that he was one of them.
1908
THOMAS EUGENE JORDAN, known to us as "Gene," quietly passed away at the MelroseWakefield Hospital in the evening of May 14. He had been in a coma for several days and had been in failing health for a year or more.
Gene was born October 29, 1884 at Lebanon, N. H., and prepared for Dartmouth at Lebanon High School. He took the Tuck School course but did not return for his second year.
He intended to be a lawyer but poor eyesight and an aptitude for mechanical processes steered him into the Oliver Whyte Company of Medford, Mass., fabricators of specially designed intricate parts for larger companies in making their products. He eventually became president and treasurer. In due course several patents enabled him to acquire all of the stock of the company in 1920 and he operated as sole owner until his retirement in 1955. During World War II he was engaged in war work.
In 1916 he married Esther Hatch, who died after six years, leaving a daughter. In 1923 Gene married Phyllis Buck, and they had a son and a daughter. Gene and Phyllis made their home at 19 Hanson Street, Greenwood, Mass. The Class sends its sincere sympathy to Gene's widow and three children.

Shortly after the war he joined the investment department of a Cleveland bank and lived in that city through the 1920'5.
Coming back to New England in 1932, he established "The Needham Times." Few men were launching new business ventures in those days but he had confidence in his abilities in this particular field, and the years proved how right his judgment was for he remained its editor and publisher until March 1964. As president of Fairbanks Press he was active in business until a few days before his death.
His classmates knew him as a warm and witty man — outspoken and frank - but always ready with an understanding word of encouragement. As a citizen of Needham he gave of himself outstandingly to that community, using his editorial column to great advantage in furthering worthwhile civic and charitable causes. Clayt was past president of the Needham Rotary Club and of the Massachusetts Press Association. He also helped form the New England Press Association.
1913 will always remember him as a very active and loyal classmate. All through the years, Clayt and Lena were always at reunions, adding to everyone's good time. Clayt is survived by his widow at 29 Pine Street, Needham; his daughter; and four grandchildren.

One of the most active, enthusiastic, and outgoing members of the class, ROBERT HUTCHINSON COLLINS, died suddenly of a heart attack at Newport Beach, Calif., on April 25. He had just completed the trip around from Pompano Beach, Fla., through the Canal to bring his new boat to its home anchorage at the Balboa Bay Club.
Bob had friends everywhere and particularly in the Class of 1935. In business he was President of the Collins Machinery Co., producers of precision metal working equipment, which he had developed into an internationally preeminent company in its field. Bob was also very active in developing Aspen, Colo., as a ski resort. He was also an accomplished sailor, racing his yacht "Josephine" successfully for many years in Southern California waters.
Coleman Colla '58, Bob's son-in-law, expresses our feelings in saying: "A more active, enthusiastic man of 52 I cannot imagine. 'Joie de vivre' really applied to him. He had a love for people and a generosity of great dimensions. His death was all the more shocking because of his life, but he lived at full pace, enjoying every moment of life at full speed."
Bob was born in New Bedford, Mass., was a Zeta Psi at Dartmouth and after graduation from Harvard Business School worked for Bell Telephone. He then made his way west to go with Omar Flour Mills in Omaha, Neb. in 1942 before entering the Army, which he left as a Major. Then he went on to California and the presidency of Collins Machinery.
In 1939 Bob married Josephine E. Coad, who, with a daughter, a grandchild, and son, survive him, as well as both parents and three sisters. His residence was at 1400 Hillcrest Avenue, Pasadena, Calif.
The life of a wonderful man has been snuffed out but each of us may feel a little greater for having known him.

Subsequently he became associated with the Provident Mutual Life Insurance Co. and later entered newspaper work, becoming assistant editor of "The Mercury" of Pottstown, Pa., in 1956, which position he held at the time of his death. He thus returned to an interest in newspaper work which was originally developed as a member of the news board of "The Dartmouth."
In 1935, following graduation, Bud was married to Iris Fountaine Chapman of Lebanon, N. H., and in 1936 William S. Wise was born, the first boy of the class and officially designated 1935 Class Baby. Bud was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity. He is survived by his widow, two other children, and three grandchildren, as well as his mother and a sister.
