1902

Members of 1902 will join with me in mourning the passing in Memphis, Tenn., on Feb. 1, 1966 of Henry C. Tracy. We remember him on the campus as a rather lonely individual, and yet he turned out to be one of the foremost experimental scientists of our class, as well as a popular university teacher. Our big Class-Book carries a full account of his life, as does the entry in the publication, "American Men of Science," and yet, owing to my complete ignorance of neuroanatomy, notwithstanding considerable correspondence with him, I find myself quite incompetent to give an adequate appraisal of his work. It is therefore with great joy that I learn that Prof. Paul G. Roof, a former colleague of his at the University of Kansas, has sent to Dartmouth a much more fitting Memorial notice, which I hope will be found elsewhere in this MAGAZINE. Here, all we can do is to pay honor and respect to his memory.

If this is true of "Doc" Tracy, all the greater is the shock of having to report the death, on Feb. 16, 1966 in Portland, Me., of our class president, Phil Thompson. Each one of us must feel a sense of personal loss. He was that kind of a man. Everyone who knew him loved and respected him. Each one of us has lost a personal friend. As individuals, as a Class, as the College, we mourn a great man! And because of him, we take courage for the future.
