ALVIN F. JULIAN, 66, basketball coach at Dartmouth College for 17 years, died July 28. One of the nation's top 20 basketball coaches based on total victories and winning percentage, he had suffered a stroke last December while coaching at the annual Kodak Classic Basketball Tournament in Rochester, N. Y., and had been partially paralyzed since then.
Julian had retired this year after a coaching career that began in 1927 at Albright (then Schuylkill) and took him to Muhlenberg, Holy Cross, and Dartmouth. He also coached the Boston Celtics from 1948 to 1950 in the fledgling National Basketball Association.
He was the past president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and was named to the Helms Athletic Foundation College Basketball Hall of Fame in 1963.
His greatest coaching triumph was the 1946-47 Holy Cross team which won the national championship by virtue of its triumph in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament. The team included such stars as Bob Cousy, Frank Oftring, Joe Mullaney, Dermie O'Connell, and George Kaftan. During his three-year tenure at Holy Cross the Crusaders won 65 and lost 10 games.
Julian was born in Reading, Pa., and was graduated from Bucknell University in 1923. He starred for the Bucknell football, basketball, and baseball teams as an undergraduate and went on to play professional baseball for Reading in the International League and football for Pottsville, Pa. He later coached the Reading (Pa.) Keys pro football team and brought Ashland (Pa.) High School a state football title.
In 1936 he went to Muhlenberg as football and basketball coach. His basketball teams compiled a 129-71 record in nine seasons and were twice invited to the National Invitational Tourney in New York.
Moving to Holy. Cross in 1945, he brought the Crusaders their national championship, an event credited with providing much of the impetus for the postwar interest in basketball in New England.
Julian was brought to Dartmouth in 1950 to do a rebuilding job and got oil to a 3-23 start his first season. He soon got the team rolling, however, and the Big Green won the Ivy League title and entered the NCAA tournaments in 1955-56, 1957-58, and 1958-59. Rudy LaRusso '59, until recently a Los Angeles Laker, was a Julian protege. Another product of those teams of the late 50's was David Gavitt '59, who succeeded Julian as Dartmouth's basketball coach last season.
Coach Julian mixed football with basketball during his career. He was coach of junior-varsity football at Dartmouth, and while at Holy Cross he was for a time varsity backfield coach. He also served as assistant with the professional Boston Yanks while coaching the Crusader basketball team. He was commentator on the 26station Dartmouth Football Network with announcer Don Gillis, and had a Hanover-area radio sports show. His writings included Breadand Butter Basketball, a popular book on playing and coaching.
Survivors include his wife, Lee; two sons, Alvin F. Julian Jr., of Reading, Pa., and Franklin T. Julian '56 of Topsfield, Mass.; and a daughter, Mrs. Robert Beckwith of Hanover.
Funeral services were held July 31 at the Catholic Student Center at Dartmouth. Burial was in Wyomissing Cemetery, Gouglersville, Pa.
The family asked that in lieu of flowers donations be sent to the Catholic Student Center at Dartmouth.

He was active on the West Lebanon school board for a number of years, and in the West Lebanon Congregational Church where he was for years a trustee and deacon. In 1900 he married Florence Kelsey whom he met in Honolulu. She died in 1959, but Sam is survived by his son, two daughters, and 12 grandchildren.

H.; and the Naval Ammunition Depot, Hingham, Mass., where he was Acting Supply Officer during World War I.

The loss of HUGH MONTGOMERY SANBORN was a hard blow to many. To his classmates it has seemed almost a tragedy, occurring as it did so soon after the reunion which he had hoped to attend. Because he had lived for many years in the Los Angeles area, those of us in the East had seen him only a few times since 1912. He died on June 21 in San Fernando, Calif.
"Hennik" was born in Henniker, N. H., on February 7, 1882, and was next to the youngest in the Class at entrance. In college he became a member of Beta Theta Pi, and Dragon senior society. He was an ardent outdoor man who never forgot his outings with Dave Pratt and Shorty.
In 1909 he married Bessie Andrews, of Somersworth, N. H., who survives him. Their two sons are George A., of Henniker, and Lewis M., of Van Nuys, Calif. There are four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

He was a loyal supporter of the Alumni Fund, and not long ago wrote: "I am glad to do all I can, for those four years were among the most rewarding of my life. I have forgotten most of what I learned in books, but not the men I knew, or the influence of some of the teachers."

He loved life and he approached it with freshness and gayety. Each morning was for him a test and a promise. ... There was a nostalgic quality in this practical, business-like man. He never forgot, and he" always respected his father and mother who had labored to provide opportunities for their children. His sisters always remained 'the girls'; his younger brothers impractical fellows who required his attention; Nashua, his birthplace and Dartmouth College, notwithstanding the changes of five" decades, always had for him the touch of Currier and Ives. ..."
All of us who knew Lou so well, and New York '19ers in particular, will greatly miss him. He was a regular attendant at class luncheons and football games.
He is survived by his widow, the former Jean Wallace, at 710 Park Ave.; two sisters and two brothers, to all of whom goes the most sincere sympathy of the Class.

Bob was born August 16, 1900 in Germantown, Pa. With a large delegation of other classmates from Omaha he entered Dartmouth in the autumn of 1918. From the beginning of college days he was a loyal classmate, a prominent participant in many activities, a competent scholar, and a highly esteemed fellow student. He was a member of The Dartmouth board, the Musical Clubs, the Junior Prom Committee, Proof and Copy, Rake and Roll, Round Robin, Delta Omicron Gamma, Alpha Delta Phi, and Sphinx.
A year after graduation, Bob received his master's degree from Tuck School. He served as instructor in economics, 1922-24, and assistant to the President, 1923-25, before entering Harvard Law School where in 1928 he received his law degree. In June of that year he began his association with the law firm of which he had been a member for 37 years. In August of that same year Bob and Lois Rundlett were married at Bridgewater, N. H.

When they were in Hanover, Gordon lived in the Davison Building and Walter in Sanborn Hall. We have been out of touch with both of them for many years.
1924
It is always a matter of regret to be reminded, in death or otherwise, of a classmate who has been listed for many years as "not interested." The death of MILTON HUGH UR.S was reported in The N. Y. Times for July 19, 1967 and gives more information than we have previously had. We are sending our sympathy to his surviving widow and son and family and a book will be selected for inclusion with other Memorial Books, in his name.
Milton (the paper gave his name as Michael Uris) retired three years ago as a screenwriter and story editor; 65 years old, living on the upper East side in New York. He also became a motion picture consultant to Pocket Books Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc. His story-editing had been for Warner Brothers in Hollywood in the '30s and '40s.

1927
STUART WILSON CLEAVELAND died August 12 at Hungerford Hospital, Torrington, Conn. He had suffered a heart attack on July 19 and was just about to be released from the hospital when a second attack brought his untimely death. All his classmates and particularly those who shared '27's 40th reunion with him will miss one of their most loyal and active Dartmouth friends.
Torrington, a beautiful small city in the rolling hills of Connecticut had been Red's birthplace and hometown all his life. After graduating from Suffield Academy, he came to Hanover where he was a member of Gamma Delta Epsilon and Property Manager of The Players. He took his major at Tuck School.
His entire career after college was with the W. W. Mertz Co., the Torrington department store where he was President and Treasurer at the time of his death. His activities were broad and covered many fields. Among them he was president of the Connecticut Motor Club AAA, a director of National AAA Motor Club, past president of the Chamber of Commerce of Northwest Connecticut, and past president of Torrington Rotary Club. He was an incorporator of Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, was asso- ciated with the Torrington Historical Society, and member of Seneca Lodge, AF and AM.
His church affiliation was with the Center Congregational Church where he was a deacon and trustee and where funeral services were held. Rev. Richard Carter ('27's Nick Carter) assisted and gave a warm and very personal tribute to Red since they had been boyhood friends and had gone off to Hanover together.
Stuart is survived by his wife Dorothy, who resides at 70 Ridgebrook Rd.; also by a son Robert of Torrington, and a daughter Dorothy of Quezon, Philippines who was able to get home for the services.
Among those representing his classmates at the funeral in addition to Nick Carter, were Reg Horton and Rog and Marion Bury.
'27 extends to the Cleaveland family their warmest sympathy.
ETHAN WOLCOTT HITCHCOCK died of a heart attack aboard his sloop "Tivoli" on June 25. He was sailing in the second day of the Rhoads Bowl Regatta, from Marblehead to Hingham, having won the Hingham to Marblehead leg the day before. Those of us who were with him at the fortieth reunion less than two weeks previously, when he was in the best of health and spirits, find it very hard to believe that he is gone.
Hitch was born on December 5, 1904, in New Rochelle, N. Y., and entered Dartmouth from Loomis Academy. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, Dragon, and the board of TheDartmouth.
After getting his M.C.S. at Tuck School in 1928 he began his working career with the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. in their Ford City, Pa., plant, and later was assigned to St. Louis and Hartford, Conn. In 1934 he joined the Travelers Insurance Company in their Inland Marine Department, and in 1935 was transferred to New York, where in 1939 he married Mary Kibbe. In 1942 he was commissioned an ordnance officer in the U.S. Navy, and served at Jacksonville, Fla., Santa Ana, Calif., and Washington, where their first daughter, Sarah, was born in 1943.
Following his release from active duty in 1945, they moved to Hingham, Mass., and he purchased the J. C. Munch Shoe Co. of Boston. Their second daughter, Anne, was born there in 1946. In 1954 he eliminated the door-todoor phase of the business to concentrate on direct mail selling of men's shoes in wide widths, changed its name to Hitchcock Shoes, and moved it to Hingham. His wife Mary died in January 1962.
In January 1964 he was married to Evelyn Fay Bright, the widow of Arthur A. Bright '39, who, with her daughter and three sons, had been a close friend of the Hitchcock family for many years.
Hitch had the rare ability to enjoy life to the fullest, and at the same time amply fulfill his obligations to his family, his business, and his community. He loved sailing, skiing, and traveling. He served for six years on the Hingham Advisory Committee, for three of them as its chairman. He had been chairman of the Hingham branch of the American Field Service, and Commodore of the Hingham Yacht Club. While he made up his mind early that living a full life was much more important than making money, he built the nearly defunct business that he acquired in 1925 into an extremely successful concern.
He maintained an intense interest in the Class of 1927, and it was a rare gathering of the Class that did not find him in attendance. He will be greatly missed by his host of friends, for whom his unfailing good humor and zest for living were always a source of inspiration. Our deepest sympathy goes to Evie and their children.

SAMUEL MARSHALL McGOUGH died suddenly of a heart attack in Key Biscayne, Fla., on June 8, 1967. With him at the time were his wife, Millie, and his sister, Nancy. Interment services were held at Dale Cemetery, Pittsburgh. George Provost and Si Morand of the Class were present.
"Marsh" was born July 23, 1903, in Chicago. After graduation from Northwestern Military and Naval Academy in Lake Geneva, Wis., he entered Dartmouth where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Dragon.
From 1927 to 1931 he was with Universal Atlas Cement Division of the United States Steel Corporation. His next ten years were principally devoted to sales as a distributor for Save Electric Company, a manufacturer of electric light bulbs. Immediately after Pearl Harbor he volunteered for service both in the Navy and Army and was deeply disappointed to be turned down because of his age and family. He then served the war years in various capacities from production line work to the Chicago Ordnance District of the War Department to War Assets Administration.
After the war he became sales representative in Chicago and the middle west for the newly formed Washington Steel Corporation of Washington, Pa., and remained with them to the time of his unexpected death. In 1949 he was transferred to the home office until 1952 when he was moved to Atlanta, Ga., as southern representative. In 1953 he developed a serious heart ailment which demanded complete rest for several months. In 1957 he was moved back to Washington, Pa., to become manager of Product Development in which capacity he was serving at the time of his last attack. He resided at 90 Stokely St., in that town.
Of the many fine qualities Marsh had, one was outstanding and that was his deep sense of consideration for others. No matter how busy, he always had time to make a phone call between planes to ask how everybody was. Those of us who had the good fortune to know him well will deeply miss him ... but we will be all the richer for having known him.
The Class extends deepest sympathy to his wife Millie, his sister Nancy, his daughter Sue, and his son Donnie.

The Class of 1934 lost one of its best-known members July 6 when GEORGE WESLEY COPP JR. died of a coronary occlusion at Orange IN. J.) Memorial Hospital.
Death came on George's 27th wedding anniversary and at a time when he seemed to be responding from the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage suffered three weeks previously—the day after he began serving as a marshal at the U. S. Open Golf Championship at Baltusrol, N. J. Only three months before, he and his beloved Marge had been on a holiday in Spain and Portugal.
George was in the forefront of Dartmouth activity. During the 1950's he served for five years as Head Class Agent for '34 and, at the time of his passing, he was entering his fifth year as a member of the 1934 Executive Committee. He was, as well, an active figure in the civic and financial community. He was a member of the Board of the Memorial Center for Women, Newark, N.

During the 32 years he lived there he served as councilman and then council president for six years. He was a member of Madison Lodge F&AM, Kiwanis, and Canoe Brook Country Club in Short Hills.
We are indebted to his longtime friend and classmate, Cal Eldred, who wrote the following: "While at Dartmouth Gibs took an active part in campus activities, acting as manager of Intramurals, and was a member of the New Hampshire Alpha Chapter, Phi Kappa Psi. He was generous to a fault and his graduating edition of Phi Psi Nehalphan commented that seldom did one see Gibs without his warm and genial smile."
Following graduation Gibs completed graduate work at Harvard and N.Y.U. During World War II he served as a lieutenant commander in the navy.
He leaves two sons, George R. 3rd and Robert H., both of New Vernon, N. J., and two sisters. By sad coincidence a third sister died in Virginia and separate services were held at the same time in Chatham.

All of those back for our 20th reunion in June received great enjoyment visiting with each other and reviewing our college days. WILLIAM RAYMOND EVANS particularly enjoyed the weekend as Dartmouth and education always played an integral part in his life. Ray and Hazel were driving home from reunion when Ray became ill in Milford, Conn. He passed away in the hospital there four days later on June 22.
His loss will be deeply felt by not only his friends from the College but his associates over the years at the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. Ray graduated from that school in 1944 and entered the V-12 program at Hanover. He graduated from Dartmouth and received his Master's degree at Thayer. In 1951 Ray returned to Penn Charter as a teacher in math and continued with the same inspirational interest in his students and the school in this position until his sudden passing.
Ray had been an active member of the enrollment committee in the Philadelphia area. He is survived by his wife Hazel and three daughters, Debbie, Linda and Janice, and a son Ray III. They reside at 412 West Stafford St., Philadelphia.
A sudden heart attack at his summer home at Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H., caused the death of our esteemed classmate ALAN HOIT MCALLISTER on August 2. He was treasurer of the Phoenix Insurance Co. and lived in West Hartford, Conn.
In college Al was one of the most prominent and popular members of our Class. His maturity at all times won him high respect. He entered Dartmouth from high school in Manchester, N. H., and was a letterman in both hockey and baseball. He was a member of Palaeopitus, Green Key, Casque and Gauntlet, and Sigma Chi.
After a short stint in the Army artillery, Al graduated from Tuck School in 1950. He joined the Phoenix Insurance Co. and remained with them all his working career. He was special agent in Boston and then went to the home office in Hartford, where his work in the investment department led to his election as assistant treasurer in 1959 and treasurer in 1963. Al had been president of the Investment Club of Hartford and the Phoenix Men's Club, and was a director of the Hartford Dispensary.
Al was a third generation Dartmouth man, the grandson of George I. McAllister '77 and the son of Harold C. McAllister '13 of Manchester, N. H. His two Dartmouth brothers are Harold C. McAllister Jr. '40 and Donald H. McAllister '46, both also Tuck graduates.
Al leaves his wife Pat, daughter Susan, and son Bruce, who reside at 111 Westmont, West Hartford; his parents, and two brothers. The funeral was held August 5 at the First Church of Christ, Congregational, in West Hartford, with burial in Fairview Cemetery.
The Phoenix monthly newsletter said of Al: "No cataloging of the biographical data concerning this likeable young man could describe with accuracy the place he held in the esteem and affection of his associates, or the competency, conscientiousness and sense of responsibility with which he discharged his assignments. ... Open-minded and industrious, he was a pleasant companion as well as a valued adviser, and a tower of strength to all who had occasion to call on his considerable talents."
The Class extends its deepest sympathy to Al's family and shares their feelings of loss.
1957
MARTIN ROSENBERG died September 2 at Memorial Hospital in New York City. He was being treated for a cancer condition that first revealed itself several years ago, when he was in the Foreign Service, in Laos.
Marty had one of the truly brilliant minds in our Class. He was, above all else, honest. He could make you question yourself and could shake you loose from your opinions; at the same time you would respect and like him more for it. And he had a quiet wit and cheerfulness that made it a joy to be with him.
Marty came to Hanover from Midwood High School in Brooklyn, majored in International Relations and won Phi Beta Kappa honors. Later he earned an M.A. in public law and government at Columbia.
At Dartmouth he became a member of Pi Lambda Phi and played drums in jazz groups and the college band.
He served three years as an officer in the Navy, then joined the State Department and went to Laos for two years. There he met his wife, Kathy, who was a translator. They had a daughter, Lisah. Marty's other survivors are his parents and a brother.
When Marty came back to Washington, he worked under William Bundy, Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs. He left the State Department largely, he said, because he could no longer support the government's policy in Vietnam. One of his former colleagues says Marty enjoyed their highest respect and affection.
For the past year Marty worked in the Institutional Sales Division of Burnham and Co., brokers, in New York.
At his funeral, the Rabbi told Marty's survivors they have every right to question this untimely loss. The Class extends condolences to the family. Marty did so much for all of us and would have done so much more.
1962
STEPHEN JON PERLIN was killed instantly in a tragic accident in Connecticut this past June 3. While in training with the Marines, Steve was a victim of a plane crash during a weekend reserve maneuver.
During his days at Dartmouth Steve participated in freshman football and was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. At the time of his death he was a Captain in the Marines.
Steve is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Perlin of 11 Stirrup Lane, Roslyn Heights, N. Y., and his sister Maxine. To his grieved family the Class sends its most sincere sympathies.
Arthur S. Teague
The College has lost a longtime friend in the death of Arthur S. Teague, 57, president and manager of the Mt. Washington Cog Railway Company. He managed the famous cog railroad for the College after it had been willed to Dartmouth by Col. Henry N. Teague '00, in 1951, and later purchased it from the College in November of 1962.
His body was discovered August 4 in a cabin at the foot of the mountain and the cause of death ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had been recovering from a heart attack which friends believe may have been caused by his efforts to re-open the Summit House, closed this spring by State authorities.
Although not an alumnus, Mr. Teague had been closely related to Dartmouth since 1931 when he was recruited for summer work on the railway by Colonel Teague, not a relative. With time out to become one of the most-decorated New Englanders in World War II, he subsequently served as vice president and general manager and became president in 1951 when the elder Teague died.
Survivors include his wife, Ellen, four daughters and one son. A fifth daughter was killed in an accident only a few days after her father's death.
