1900
It is with deep regret that we of 1900 note the loss of another of our few remaining members. DR. ARTHUR LOWELL WALLACE died on March 20, 1967 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Manchester, N. H., where he had been a patient for the past eight months. On March 22 funeral services were held at the Nashua Congregational Church of which Arthur was a life-long member. Following the service a brief commital service was held at the Edgewood Cemetery. The Class was represented by its class baby, Ruth Bean, daughter of "Cap" Jenkins.
Arthur Wallace was born in Lowell, Mass., on October 12, 1877, the son of Dr. Alonzo S. Wallace '74m and Mary Frances (Maynard). "Art" went on to the Dartmouth Medical School from which he received his M.D. degree in 1903. In college Art became a member of Phi Kappa Psi, was class treasurer his sophomore year, and a member of a group known as, "The Seven." On October 3, 1900 he married Helen Goss of Wilder, Vt., who died in 1943.
For more than 60 years Arthur was a successful physician, with offices in Nashua and Milford, N. H. At age 87, at our 65th reunion, when the question of retirement came up, he was heard to remark: "Retire? I don't know the meaning of the word." In this era of high specialization, Arthur was one of the old-time family physicians who have now all but disappeared.
In the 1920s and '30s while a member of the Nashua Board of Education he was instrumental in improving the recreational facilities and hygienic practices of the public schools. During World War I he served as a member of the Army Medical Corps, and he became a charter member of the local branch of the American Legion.
Art was a very enthusiastic and devoted member of the Class of 1900. His genial presence graced most of our reunions and other class gatherings. He often came to Hanover to attend medical meetings and to sit in the stands at Memorial Field alongside Ben Prescott at Dartmouth football games.
He is survived by his sister, Mrs. Ralph Norris; by his son, Maynard, and two daughters, Helen and Priscilla; nine grandchildren, and 29 great-grandchildren.
1905
FRANK ERNEST BECKLEY passed away on June 30, 1966.
Having spent two years at Dartmouth, Frank went on to graduate from the University of Vermont, and from there to work for the Cross, Austin, & Ireland Lumber Company in Brooklyn, N. Y. At the time of his retirement he was vice president and a director of that company.
Frank's wife, Jane (Redheffer), died in 1956, and his son Frank Jr. died in 1949. He is survived by his son, John L.
1911
COL. THORNTON CHASE JR. USA (Ret.) died March 2 at the Halifax Hospital, Clearwater, Fla., following a long illness. Known to his family as "Bill" and as "Heinie" to his classmates, he had devoted his life to the service of his country.
Heinie was born in Santa Cruz, Calif., June 28, 1889 and attended Morgan Park High School. In college he joined Phi Gamma Delta, played on his class baseball and basketball teams, and was a member of Sphinx. In November 1821 he and Livie Morris were married in Jackson, Miss.
Prior to World War I he was with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. but soon enlisted in the Army to begin his military service. He was commissioned a captain in the infantry and saw action in the battles of Meuse-Argonne, St. Mihiel's sector, with the 91st Division.
During World War II, he was detailed to the Adjutant General's Corps and served for five years as adjutant general of the Infantry School at Ft. Benning, Ga. During his thirty years of military service, he was professor of military science and tactics at the University of Connecticut and with the ROTC at North Carolina State College, Ft. Harrison, Ind., Ft. Ord, Calif, and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Upon his retirement at Ft. Benning, he received the Legion of Merit with an oak leaf cluster. He had been a resident of Daytona Beach, Fla., at 824 N. Grandview Ave., since his retirement.
Survivors include his widow, daughter and three grandsons. Service and burial were at Arlington National Cemetery.
WILLARD CONNELY, American biographer of English literary figures of the 17th and 18th centuries, died on March 26 in his home, Whitegates, Godalming, England. He joined our class as a transfer from Steven Institute at the beginning of sophomore year.
Following graduation, he was successively Assistant Editor, New York Sunday American, Assistant Editor, McClure's Magazine, Managing Editor, Harper's Weekly, and Associate Editor, International Film Service. In 1917 he started his career as a free-lance writer which was continued during several years of teaching at Harvard and Oxford from which he received honorary degrees. In 1931 he was made an alumnus member of Phi Beta Kappa. His military service consisted of a year as Ensign USN, 1917-18. His many honors and accomplishments include the following:
Director of the American University Union in London; Secretary of Harvard Classical Club; Secretary of the Carnegie Corporation International Conference on Examinations; Carnegie Medal in 1936; American Member of British-American Scholarship Exchange; Life Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature; Consultant to U. S. State Department on European Universities; grantee for research at Oxford and Cambridge on Colonial Americans, and an official delegate to the Harvard Tercentenary in 1936.
Among his books are Brawny Wycherley, a life of William Wycherley, British comic dramatist, and lives of Sir Richard Steele, Lord Chesterfield, Beau Brummel, the Court D'Orsay, Beau Nash, and others.
Jim leaves his wife, Agnes Lauchlan, an actress; three daughters and eight grandchildren. Telling of a visit with him a few years ago, George Morris painted this picture of him:
"He has that compelling appearance which is, by reason of a mop of greying hair and ruddy complexion, so familiar among distinguished residents of the English community. In all respects, he reported himself and looked well and vigorous. Jim's career as a teacher at Harvard and a degree holder from New College at Oxford, as a newspaper writer, as the author of six excellent biographies and as an administrator handling the exchange of American and British students, has achieved that degree of success which should be gratifying to anyone."
1913
ARTHUR LEON SCOTT died in Doylestown, Pa., on March 7.
Leon was born in North Adams, Mass., March 28, 1887, and later lived in Portland, Maine. He entered Dartmouth from Hebron Academy.
1913ers will recall "Scotty" during our years in Hanover especially as an enthusiastic member of the musical clubs. He was, as a classmate put it, "right out of the top drawer."
Armed with a 8.5., Scotty joined the Foreign Service of Standard Oil and spent three years in Madras, India, returning to the States in time to join the army in World War I.
In July 1920 Scotty and Jessie Mac Donald (Jack's sister) were married at Ashmont, Mass., and since 1964 had made their home in Spring Valley, R.F.D. 2, Doylestown. With his training as an industrial engineer he again entered the business world. For the last 18 years he was associated with the J. Edwards Shoe Company in Philadelphia as Assistant to the President, a career that gave scope to his authoritative knowledge of scientific management. Scotty was fortunate enough to be active in business up to the beginning of 1966, when his activities were markedly curtailed by illness, so it was a great blessing to have his suffering end.
Our sympathy goes out to Jessie and their daughter Nancy. 1913 has lost a stalwart and loyal son of Dartmouth.
1914
Following an extended illness, JOHN LEYSON DELLINGER passed away in Tyler, Texas, on February 12. He had made his home at 2633 Old Bullard Road in that town.
A member of Psi Upsilon and Casque and Gauntlet, Jack was also a member of the hockey team. His chosen career was the oil business and he had at various times lived in Mexico, Texas, and Missouri. He had been employed by several branches of the Shell Oil Corporation and when he retired eleven years ago he was employed by East Texas Salt Water Disposal Company.
Jack was a captain in the Army during World War I and had received the Croix de Guerre and Purple Heart.
Our sympathy is extended to his widow Grace (Ferrey), to whom he was married in 1923; his son John Jr. '46, and daughter Rosemary.
Word has been received telling of the death of FRANK ALEXANDER WELSH on January 18.
In 1965 it was reported that Frank was the senior member of his law firm of Welsh, Welsh, Holmstrom and Hyzer. He had been in continuous practice of the law, with special reference to tax problems, since 1917.
He and his wife, Eva (Robie), to whom he was married in 1917, were the parents of a daughter and two sons. Frank and his son Alex won the low gross in the father-and-son golf tournament at Midlothian Club in Chicago for eight consecutive years.
The Class sends its sympathy to Eva, who now lives at 2605 Country Club Terrace, Rockford, Ill., and his children.
The death of RALPH MAURICE PHELPS on August 17, 1966 has recently been made known to the Class. He passed away at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Fort Howard, Md., the result of a stroke, at age 74.
After a varied career, including a time when he listed himself as a "vagabond" in Europe and Africa, Bob pursued his interests in aviation and yachting. He served with the National Aeronautic Association in Washington, D. C., and founded the American Yachtmen's Association, an organization formed to insure proper conditions for sailing. Most recently he had been employed as an agent for the Waterway Insurance Agency in Annapolis, and lived at Amberley, Annapolis, where he is survived by his widow, Helen (Price).
His son Ralph Jr. is a major in the U.S. Air Force.
1916
MAX EISMAN BERNKOPF died suddenly March 18 at Boston, where he made his home at 282 Beacon Street. Services were held March 20 at the Waterman Chapel with Dick Parkhurst, Parkey Hay den, and Alec Jardine representing 1916 in final tribute.
Max was born at Providence, R. I., on November 15, 1895 and prepared for Dartmouth at Providence High School. On campus he was active in debating and was a member of Delta Sigma Rho.
Following World War I, in which he served in the Naval Reserve, Max was graduated from the Harvard Law School in 1919 and entered upon a long and useful career in the law and civic causes. In later years he was the senior partner of Bernkopf, Goodwin and Houghton with offices in the Tremont Building.
He was a director and secretary of Stop and Shop, Inc., and of the American Investment Company of Springfield, Ill. He was also a director of Beth Israel Hospital in its formative stages, a former secretary of The Associated Jewish Philanthropies, a director of the Boston YMCA, and a member of the Harvard Club.
He was married in January 1920 to Selma Cohen who survives him, as do a daughter, Mrs. Howard A. Frank of Brookline, and a brother, Harold E., of Brookline. The deep sympathy of the Class is extended to them all.

At college he played baseball and football and captained the football team in his senior year. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi. With the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in April 1917 with the rank of quartermaster, 2nd class, but by the time he was discharged at Philadelphia in December 1918 he had been commissioned an Ensign.
On April 24, 1922, at Arlington, Mass., Gerry was married to Katherine (Sawyer) by whom he is survived.

In his business life he was always associated with insurance. He was state production manager for the Securities Insurance Co. when he retired in 1962.

1921
One of the youngest men in 1921, born July 15, 1901, and one of the most brilliant, a Rufus Choate Scholar and Phi Beta Kappa, SETH ALBERT DENSMORE died March 29 in Mary Fletcher Hospital, Burlington, Vt. A certified public accountant and auditor, he lived on Sunset Cliff, Burlington. His wife Marion Louise, nee Foss, whom he married in Sherbrooke, Que., November 3, 1927, and his son John '5O of Rutland, Vt., survive him.
In 1957 Denny made headlines when he risked his life and wrecked his automobile to save two boys, aged 8 and 6, who, playing on railroad tracks, were about to be run over and killed by an oncoming freight.
In college Denny was Sigma Phi Epsilon, a member of the ski team, D.0.C., Cabin and Trail, the orchestra, and Cercle FranÇais. He received his M.C.S. from Tuck in 1922.
On his own since 1949, Denny was formerly with Lee Higginson, New York; Canadian Connecticut Cotton Mills, Ltd., Sherbrooke; Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery, Boston; Francis C. Derby Co., Burlington; and Jurgs, Murray & Densmore, Burlington.

Bill was the retired owner of the longestablished men's furnishing business, W. B. Gray and Co., Paterson, N. J.

Most of their married life they lived in Paterson, but some years ago they moved to Ridgewood, where their most recent address was 251 Manor Road. The Class offers its sincere sympathy to May, their daughter Nancy, and their four grandchildren.
1924
The record is bare indeed, nor do we have any details of THOMAS BENJAMIN CLAIR'S death except that is was on February 17, in San Diego, California. Our first note is that he was, in 1936, a lawyer in New York City, living on Long Island. In 1938 he was in the legal department of the New York Life Insurance Co. His law schools were Fordham, 1931, and New. York University, 1937. He retired to San Diego in 1962. The record states he was married and had two children, but there are, regrettably, no details beyond the above.
It was a shock to many, including Larry Kugelman who worked in the International Paper Co. with him for many years, to read of the sudden death of CHARLES ADDISON KEARNS only a month after he had retired, and just one year short of 40 years of service with this same firm. The record is also relatively "bare." Several reservations for our fall reunions were cancelled, due to business pressures. When they were gone, he lived only a month to enjoy his retirement.
Charlie was born January 7, 1902, and so had just turned 65. He graduated from Potsdam (N. Y.) High School, was a brother in Lambda Chi Alpha, played in the Band and Players' Orchestra. After graduation he played in an orchestra for two or three years. He then became a cost accountant for the Racquette River Paper Co. in his native Potsdam, moved to the Continental Paper Bag Co. in New York, and thence to the International Paper Company. He lived in Yonkers for the rest of his life.
His first marriage, in 1934 to Mary Foley, ended in divorce; his second wife, Rose (Bartley), is well known to the Class. There were no children. Besides his widow, survivors are a brother, Waldo, and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Chisholm, of California, and Mrs. Lena Marriott, of New York. We send Rose our warm sympathy and share in the grief that Charlie could not enjoy his retirement years.
FRANK SUMNER TURNER, "Genesis" as all knew him with affection, died here in Hanover on February 21, 1967, after a short illness. His wife Louise had died here of cancer fairly recently. His plan was to retire on his 65th birthday, October 9, after 19 years as Superintendent of the Greenfield (Mass.) schools.
It is appropriate to single out two words to characterize Genesis: dedication and loyalty. An editorial in his local paper spelled this out in full the day after his death; a roommate for three years recognized these strengths then, and has commented how both qualities were even increased when the death of his wife released his full energy into his work. This meant meetings almost every night for one of the five schools and their recurring building-program needs, debates, and accomplishments. Typically, he was at a school meeting in Atlantic City less than a week before his heart gave up the battle. He was ill about two years ago, so there had been a warning.
After graduation with us, Genesis began as a teacher of general science at Northbridge Junior High School. His Master's degree in Education was from Harvard in 1938. Then he was Principal at Plainfield, N. H., and so to Greenfield, Mass. - just those three positions. He had graduated from Walpole (N. H.) High School at 16, and came to Dartmouth after a year at Dean Academy. In Plainfield he was active in the Lions Club; in Greenfield, it was Kiwanis. But his memorial will be best seen in the new school construction in Union 38, often against strong opposition from his friends. During the past two years, while in poor health and without his wife to encourage him, he was seeing the cycle of new building needs again. They will miss him; so will '24 and Dartmouth.
1925
ALLAN CHANNING CLAEKSON died at Exeter, N. H., 00 March 4, 1967. The cause was not reported. He had lived at 22 Green St. in that town for nineteen years.
Born in Newburyport, Mass., February 9, 1902, Allan prepared for Dartmouth at Newburyport High School. While at Hanover he became a member of Lambda Chi Alpha. He left college in May 1923 to enter the field of architecture, a profession which he pursued in Providence, R. 1., until early in 1946, when he joined Phillips Exeter Academy as an instructor in the Art Department. Meanwhile he obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Yale University in 1934.
In 1931 he married Rhoda Wilson of East Providence, R. 1., who survives him, together with two daughters, Mrs. Lester Schoener, Fairfax, Va., and Mrs. Stephen Demos, Cambridge, Mass., and four grandchildren.
1926
ISRAEL BIDDLE BAIR WELSH who entered Dartmouth with us in the fall of 1922 from Staten Island, died there in November. His home was 158 Egbert Ave., W. New Brighton.
Always interested in athletics, Issy played professional basketball along the East Coast in the '20s, and played semi-professional football on several local teams. He also coached the basketball team for Calvary Presbyterian Church on Staten Island. He was employed by George Tilt Co. in Brooklyn.
Issy is survived by his widow, Athlane, one son, and three daughters, to whom we offer our sympathy.
1927
JOHN BRODHEAD PIKE died July 21, 1966 in Mexico City, after an illness of ten months.
Johnny entered college from Portsmouth High School. He played freshman basketball, and was on the varsity football squad. He also attended Tuck School, and was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa. In July 1930 he married Dorothy (Cotton), and their son Robert Cotton Pike is a member of the Class of 1953.
Johnny worked for the Kendall Company for some 20 years in Rhode Island, Chicago, and eventually Mexico, and in 1948 went into Destilby S.A., a company manufacturing household appliances in Mexico. He was quite prominent in bridge circles in Mexico and served as director of the Aztec Bridge Club there for 16 years, playing in regional and national tournaments.
He is survived by his widow and son, at Monte Chimborazo 600-3, Mexico 10, D. F. His classmates extend their deepest sympathy to his family.

STUART GOODWILLIE, a founder of the management firm of Langlie, Goodwillie & Moore, Inc., died February 7 at his home, Norholt Drive, New Canaan, Conn. He had lung cancer and had one lung removed several months ago.
Stu, or "Joe" as he was known in college, was born March 17, 1905, in Montclair, N. J., and entered Dartmouth from the Berkshire School. In college he was president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
After graduation he worked for the E. I. duPont de Nemours Co. in New York City, then for Robert Heller & Associates, marketing consultants, in Cleveland. In 1940 he moved to New Canaan and became assistant to the vice president of Hygrade Sylvania, later Sylvania Electric Products, Inc., in New York City. From 1953 to 1964 he was associated with management consultant firms in New York and in 1964 formed his own firm, with offices in Stamford, Conn.
He is survived by his widow, Julia (Vogt) to whom he was married in 1933, and by his son, David H. '63.
Stu's love of Dartmouth was demonstrated by his service over a number of years as an assistant class agent and as a member of the interviewing committee in New Canaan. He was a member of the Dartmouth Club of New York and attended all reunions. His Dartmouth ancestry went back to his great-grandfather, Thomas Goodwillie of the Class of 1820.
Attending the funeral services were Jack and Peg Zellers and Hank Walker.

Always active in community affairs, he was past president of the Pine Orchard Association, commissioner of the fire department, and was well known in yachting circles.
In 1929 he married Virginia Marshall. He is survived by his widow, two daughters, Margaret McNeil of Boston and Mrs. Donald R. Welch of Branford, Conn., a son, James, of North Branford, a sister, and eight grandchildren.

Since 1954 he had been at the English Church in Brussels, Belgium, for five years and the last eight years he had been chaplain at St. Mary's Convent in Peekskill, N. Y. Many in the Class will feel a great loss.-on the passing of this fine Christian.

1936
RICHARD LELAND JEWELL, managing editor of the college and professional division of the Macmillan Company, New York publishers, died March 16 in Community Hospital, Glen Cove, N. Y., after undergoing surgery for a rapidly worsening circulatory ailment. He managed to retain his cheerful wit, even after the amputation of a leg and extensive replacement of arteries.
Dick cjne to Dartmouth from Chicago. He had been born in East Orange, N. J., July 9, 1915, but had moved west early enough so that the flat A's and hard R's of Chicago entered his speech and never completely left it.
At Dartmouth he majored in English, joined Sigma Phi Epsilon and made the 1936 News Board of The Dartmouth, developing a care for precision of expression that lasted the rest of his life.
After graduation he worked as a salesman for Carson-Pirie-Scott, married Barbara (in June 1939) and became a time study engineer for Swift and Co. before enlisting in the Coast Guard Reserve in 1942. He served in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater, winning combat stars as a lieutenant (j.g.) skipper of an LST at Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
Discharged as a lieutenant at the war's end, he spent 14 years editing and supervising the production of college textbooks for Appleton-Century. Five years ago he went to Macmillan to perform the same work in a post created specially for him.
To his two sons, Dan (born June 16, 1948) and Fred (born June 10, 1950), he was an affectionate father as well as a stern editor. He served (as a registered Democrat) on the Locust Valley Board of Elections and School Board of Elections, played in communitytheater productions, edited the catalogue for the Locust Valley Art Show for a few years, and was Skipper of the local contingent of Sea Scouts. He sponsored a little Dartmouth football team at the local Boys Club - and wound up putting up most of the money himself, an indication of his proficiency as a fund raiser. Through all those years he fought for better public schools against well-organized opposition from both ends of the economic scale.
In recent years his hobbies had been amateur radio, an interest which he shared with his son Dan, and fishing in Long Island Sound from his 12-foot boat.
At a March 20 memorial service for Dick at The Reformed Church, Locust Valley,, the Rev. John Dykstra said: "Our friend was one who lived in a world of ideas, and this expressed itself in his ways of life. He took pleasure in the well-spoken and the well-written word this was his life's work ... but I feel that in the last few months I had come to know another world of his - his world of pain and suffering ... something from which he did not cringe or quail.... His wholesome optimism in spite of painful obstacles as well as his quality of what Matthew Arnold termed 'sweet rea- sonableness' made acquaintanceship with him, even in these most trying days, a genuine pleasure and a rich blessing."
That was the same Dick Jewell the Class of 1936 knew.

Florence Libby
Florence Libby lived most of her many years at the base of Mount Moosilauke, "out East Warren way." There, with her husband, Natt, the Libby Farm became the jumping-off place for Moosilauke Ravine Lodge and points above. In some cases it later became a welcome refuge. As the nearest habitation occupied year-round, the farm served a unique role in the Dartmouth fraternity of the outdoors.
For many generations of college and high school boys working "on the mountain" Mrs. Libby was a helpful adviser, an unofficial postmistress, and a most dependable laundress. The Libbys lived in what the social economists would call a marginal farm. Natt would "work out" at his carpentry trade, most notably when he and other Warren craftsmen helped Ross McKenney build the Ravine Lodge some thirty years ago.
On Sunday, January 8, Mrs. Libby, after appropriate services in the Warren Methodist Church, was laid to rest. She richly deserved the rest after four score and one years among us. There are countless Dartmouth alumni, along with many others, who will never forget her cheery smile, her offer to let them use the telephone, and her willingness to tackle the boys' wash before the days of the laundromats.
Some of us will return, come spring, to her final resting place in the snow-bound cemetery at Warren to pay our .continued respects to a remarkable personality.
