HAZLETON MIRKIL III, Associate Professor of Mathematics, was found dead in the woods near Chase Field on May 17. His death, ending a long period of illness, was officially ruled a suicide by gunshot. He was 44 years old and resided in Lyme, N.H.
Professor Mirkil had been on leave of absence this year and had been at the Veterans Hospital in Northampton, Mass., until the middle of March.
A specialist in functional algebra, Professor Mirkil joined the Dartmouth mathematics faculty in 1954, became an assistant professor three years later, and in 1960 was promoted to associate professor.
A native of Philadelphia, he served three years in the U.S. Army in World War II and was graduated from Oberlin College in 1949. He received his master's degree from the University of Chicago in 1950 and his Ph.D. there in 1957.
Professor Mirkil leaves his wife, Mrs. Presocia R. Mirkil of Lyme. A funeral service was held at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Hanover, on May 20 and burial was in Pine Knolls Cemetery.
The Hazleton Mirkil III Memorial Fund has been established by his Dartmouth faculty colleagues, his family, and former students. It will be used to purchase books for an undergraduate library in mathematics. These books will be placed in the reading room that the Department of Mathematics plans to create in the lower level of the Bradley Mathematics Center during the coming year. Prof. William E. Slesnick of the Mathematics Department is in charge of the memorial fund and contributions, made out to Dartmouth College, may be sent to him at the Bradley Center.
DR. WOLFGANG KOHLEE, Research Professor of Psychology, renowned as one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, died at his home in En-field, N.H., on June 11. He was 80 years old.
Dr. Kohler, who came to Dartmouth in 1958, has recently been in Sweden and Germany and was planning to resume his research here. His work as one of the founders of Gestalt psychology, with Max Wertheimer and Kurt Koffka, had earned him a distinguished place in modern science. His 1929 book Gestalt Psychology is a classic and comprehensive statement of the concept that phenomena are comprehended as organized wholes or patterns rather than as mosaics of distinct parts as maintained by the behaviorists.
Dr. Kohler was celebrated also for his pioneering studies of the mentality of apes, carried out while director of the anthropoid research station on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, during World War I and described in another classic book, The Mentality of Apes. He also made important contributions to the psychology of hearing, memory, and visual perceptions. During the past 15 years he had turned from the study of behavior to research in physiology, declaring that basic answers to psychological questions could come only from a better understanding of the physiology of the brain.
Professor Kohler was born of German parents in Reval, Estonia. He studied at the Universities of Tubingen and Bonn and received his doctorate at the University of Berlin in 1909. He was an assistant at the Academy of Frankfurt and then spent seven years, 1913-20, on Tenerife Island where he did his famous anthropoid research. He became director of the Psychological Institute at the University of Berlin in 1922 and resigned in 1935 in protest against Nazi interference. He came to the United States and joined the faculty of Swarth- more College where he remained until retirement. From 1952 to 1955 he also was attached to the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton.
Dr. Kohler was president of the American Psychological Association in 1959, and three years earlier had received its Distinguished Scientific Award. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Science. Among his many honors was the gold medal of the Deutsche Geseltschaft fur Psychologie.
Dr. Kohler is survived by his wife, the former Lili Harleman, and a daughter, Mrs. Karin Greene of New York City.

1916
Our gallant classmate FRANK LESLIE OSBORN died in his sleep from a massive coronary on March 1, 1967, in a Bakersfield, Calif., hospital. Les had been partially blinded for some time with rare atypical primary pigmentation of both retinas, and totally blind for the last ten years, but bore the affliction nobly. He kept abreast of the times by reading many Braille books and magazines supplied by the Indianapolis Library for the Blind, and latterly by the Los Angeles Branch. He and his wife made their home at 1016 Pebble Beach Drive, Kern City, Calif., having moved there last autumn from La Porte to live happily within a short mile of their married daughter Mary Louise. And Mrs. Osborn kept Les in touch with 1916 by regularly reading to him the Balmacaan Newsletters.

To all the family the Class extends deepest sympathy.
1916 lost one of its great little men when EARL RAYMOND WILLIAMS died at Buffalo, N. Y., on May 14, 1967, after a year's gallant fight with lung cancer. Soon after his wife Anna passed away in December 1965, "Cap" gave up the Plainfield apartment to share the home of his daughter, Helen (Mrs. Ambrose McKee) at 129 Meadow Lane, Buffalo. He thus was fortunate to have her care and companionship during the months that were left to him.
He was born in Warren, Vt., November 1, 1893, and came to Dartmouth from Barre High School. From then on his quiet modesty was matched only by his persistent achievements. On campus he played on both our freshman baseball and basketball teams and captained the latter; thereafter he played on both the varsity baseball and basketball teams; and was a member of Phi Delta Theta and Sphinx.
Upon graduation he went with Johns Manville Corporation for a life-time career, interrupted only by two years of service in World War I as a Ist lieutenant in the Signal Corps. At the start with Johns Manville, he and his chief constituted the whole research department; from 1919 to 1937 he was a research engineer; and from 1937 on he was Director of the 500-man Research Center until he retired in 1958.
Among his professional connections were The American Chemical Society, the American Society for Testing Materials, Society of the Chemical Industry, the American Institute of Chemical Industries, and the Chemists Club of New York. Additionally he was a member of the Dartmouth Clubs of Plainfield and New York, regularly attended the class dinners at New York and made time to serve the Watchung Area Council of the Boy Scouts as vice-president.
Funeral services in Plainfield on May 17 were followed by a Solemn High Requiem Mass at St. Mary's Church and by interment in Holy Redeemer Cemetery, South Plainfield.
Cap was married in 1918 to Anna Theresa Mullen at Lowell, Mass. Surviving him are two daughters, a brother Stanley E. Williams '31 and seven grandchildren. The deep sympathy of the Class is extended to them all.
1918
WILLIAM CHISHOLM passed away in his sleep on Friday morning, March 24th, 1967, at the Cloister, a hotel in Sea Island, Ga. This was the day before his 72nd birthday. Bill lived in Marble, head, Mass., most of his life. He was associated with the investment business principally on the North Shore of Boston for a quarter of a century prior to his retirement. He was a trustee of the Salem Savings Bank and a director of the National Grand Bank of Marblehead.
Bill was born in Salem, Mass., on March 25, 1895. After attending Salem schools he was graduated from Phillips Andover Academy in Andover, Mass., and Dartmouth College with the Class of 1918.

1919
The Class, and New York '19ers in particular, were shocked to read in The New YorkTimes of May 6 the sad news of the passing of HENRY SIEGBERT in London England, on the previous day, at the age of 69. His home was on Lake St., White Plains, N.Y.
Henry, who served as a naval aviator in World War I and as a commander in the Navy during World War II was a partner in Adolph Lewinsohn and Sons from 1926 to 1945 when he retired. In 1948 and 1949 he was deputy chief of the Economic Cooperation Administration Commission in London.
Henry was active in the National Conference of Christians and Jews, was a vice president of the Committee for a Free Asia, and vice chairman, N.Y. Branch of the English Speaking Union. At his death he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a director of the Foreign Policy Association.
He leaves his wife, the former Marion Hirshon, and two daughters, Mrs. Patricia Wolston, and Mrs. David Boody.
Henry was certainly one of the most distinguished members of 1919, not only for his service to his country, but for his most generous support of his Class and the College. A regular attendant at the class luncheons in New York, present at many reunions over the years, Henry will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him so well. Our most sincere sympathy goes out to Marion and the family.
RAYMOND SACKVILLE WEST of Hudson, Ohio, passed away on May 21 as the result of an automobile accident in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Police investigating the accident believe that he may have suffered a heart attack prior to the accident.
Ray was born in Elizabeth, N.J., on November 22, 1896 and came to Hanover from Cleveland. He was with us two years and enlisted in the U.S. Signal Corps where he was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant. He was engaged in sales work in Cleveland, in real estate and industrial equipment.

He was also a member of the Hudson Rotary Club and the Christ Church Episcopal.
Surviving are a son Ray Jr. of Hudson, a stepson Charles Tanguy, who is in the diplomatic service as First Secretary of the American Embassy in Turkey, two sisters and three grandchildren. To them goes the most sincere sympathy of 1919.
Ray always maintained his interest in the College through the Alumni Fund and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
1922
DR. WENDALL EDWARD BOYER died April 23 when his plane crashed at sea off Long Beach Island, N.J. He and another man were flying from Waterville, Me., to Asbury Park Airport. The Cessna 172 single-engine plane became the subject of widespread search after the men had failed to arrive and had gone unreported since 90 minutes after take-off. Bad weather hampered the search until April 26 when it was sadly completed and Doc was found.
The University of Pennsylvania awarded Doc his M.D. in 1925. He was a physician in Germantown, Pa., from 1928 until 1943 when he began four years of war service as a captain in the Army Air Force. In 1947 he returned to private practice in Philadelphia. Four' years later he moved to Adamstown, N.J., and continued his career there.
Son of a physician and surgeon, Doc was born August 6, 1901 in Waterville, Me. He prepared for college at Coburn Classical Institute and entered Colby College. In 1919 he transferred to Dartmouth where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Kappa Kappa.
Doc and Martha (Fay) were married at Valley Forge, Pa., 39 years ago. Their most recent address is 395 Mantoloking Road, Brick Township, N.J. 08723. To the family, including sons Edward '53 and Donald, the Class offers deeply heartfelt sympathy.

In 1930 he married Mary Carter of Texarkana who survives him, together with a daughter, Nancy Dickens Reeves, to whom the deep sympathy of the Class is extended.
STANTON KINNIE SMITH succumbed to a heart attack April 29, 1967, at Rockford, III., where he was born and lived all his life.
During his undergraduate days, Stan was a Member of Delta Tau Delta, Pi Delta Epsilon, Delta Delta Sigma, and Delta Chi Sigma. He was on The Dartmouth board for three years, serving as advertising manager his senior year, and as treasurer of the Interfraternity Council.
Stan devoted his entire business career to the interests of the Smith Oil Corporation, which he served as president for 19 years until early this year when he became chairman of the board, but continued as the chief executive officer. He was a trustee of Rockford Community Trust and Rockford College, and a director of American Petroleum Institute, Hawk- eye Oil Co., Torstenson Oil Co., W.F. and John Barnes Co. and Illinois Marketers Association.
During World War II he served as co-administrator of Region 4 for the Emergency Petroleum and Gas Administration. Always a faithful Dartmouth man, he served on the National Committee for the recent Capital Gifts campaign and on the Tuck School Associates Advisory Committee. He also was a member of the Class Board of Governors.
Stan was active also in many other areas. He was a member of the University Club, Mid- Day Club, Rockford Country Club (of which he was president), Union League, Chicago Club, Senachwine Hunting and Hennepin Hunting Clubs, Kitchi Gammi Club (Duluth), Rockford Rotary Club, and Tebala Shrine. He was also holder of the Silver Beaver and Silver Antelope Awards, Boy Scouts of America, president of the 25-Year Club of the Petroleum Industry, past president of Rockford Chamber of Commerce, trustee of Unitarian Church, and chairman of Rockford Memorial Hospital.
Stan was married in 1926 to Elizabeth Brown of Rockford, who survives him, together with three children, Mrs. David Paddock, Stan Jr., and Charles Gordon '57, and eight grandchildren, to whom the deep sympathy of the Class is extended.
Stan's affable nature and willingness to put his shoulder to the wheel whenever his help was needed is well known. His passing creates a void in the lives of those who knew him. An editorial in his local newspaper stated that Stan "left Rockford a better communuity for having lived here. That is the highest accolade any citizen can earn." To this we can say "Amen" from the viewpoint of the Dartmouth family.
1930
EDWARD JOHN JEREMIAH, Dartmouth hockey coach for thirty years and one of the all-time greats in the College's athletic history, died at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover in the early morning hours of June 7. He had put up an amazing battle against cancer for nearly ten years, and on the last full day of his life he had managed to be on "leave" from the hospital so he could drop by his office, get a haircut, and take a drive around Hanover, the place he loved best and that in turn loved him as an extraordinary human being.
The life story of Jerry, on the eve of his retirement as hockey coach, was told at length in the February issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and at that time tributes from thirty of his former hockey and baseball players were also printed, attesting to Jerry's preeminence as a coach and, more importantly, to the lasting influence he had on the lives of the men who played for him. This memorial article can present only the highlights of the career covered in that February profile.
Jerry was "Mr. Hockey" for more than just Dartmouth. He was one of the great forces for the growth and betterment of intercollegiate hockey throughout the country. He was named Hockey Coach of the Year last March by the American Hockey Coaches Association, of which he was president, and he had been the first recipient of the same Spencer Penrose Trophy when it was established in 1951. He was also president of the Ivy League Hockey Coaches Association at the time of his death, jerry's influence was spread afar by two books he wrote, Ice Hockey and Heads-Up Hockey. He also founded and directed the Minneapolis Summer Hockey School.
Jerry returned to Dartmouth in 1937 as coach of varsity hockey and of the freshman hockey, football and baseball teams. After serving as lieutenant commander in the Navy from 1943 to 1945 he became varsity baseball coach as well as coach of varsity and freshman hockey. His varsity hockey teams compiled a record of 305 victories, 243 defeats, and 12 ties; and at one point, 1942-46, his teams played 46 straight games without defeat, an unmatched record. Eleven hockey league championships were part of the Jeremiah record at Dartmouth, and in 1947 the international intercollegiate title was shared with Toronto. Although hockey victories were not so numerous in his last years, Jerry fittingly closed out his coaching career with a freshman baseball team that went undefeated in 12 games.
Jerry was born in Worcester, Mass., on November 4, 1905, the son of Armenian immigrant parents. Before entering Dartmouth with the Class of 1930 he was a nine-letter athlete at Somerville High School and a six-letter man at Hebron Academy. At Dartmouth he won seven D's in hockey, football, and baseball and was named to the Ail-American hockey team. From 1930 to 1935 he played professional hockey with the Boston Bruins and New York Americans in the National Hockey League, the Cleveland Falcons in the International League, and the New Haven Eagles, Boston Cubs, and Philadelphia Arrows in the Canadian-American League. His coaching prowess was first demonstrated with the Boston Olympics, a Bruin farm team, which won the national AAU championship. Jerry's two years there led to his Dartmouth appointment in 1937. One of his top honors was his selection as coach of the U.S. Olympic hockey team for the 1964 winter games at Innsbruck, Austria.
Jerry is survived by his widow, the former Lois Timmons, who resides at 35 South Park Street in Hanover. A former marriage, to Constance Curran in 1937, ended in divorce. Also surviving are his mother, Mrs. Sara Quintooney of Worcester; two sisters, Mrs. Sherman Santoian of Worcester and Mrs. Roger Griswold of Pembroke, Mass.; and a brother, Robert Jeremiah of Lexington, Mass.
The funeral service, in Rollins Chapel on June 9, was attended by hundreds of Jerry's friends from all over New England and by the full Dartmouth Board of Trustees, which was meeting in Hanover that day. The Rev. Fred Berthold '45 officiated and Warren Cooke '67, varsity hockey captain, gave the Scriptual reading. Class president Fred Scribner '30 was one of the pallbearers, and other members of the Class who attended the service were Meade Alcorn, Hal Booma, Rollie Booma, Herb Chase, Al Dickerson, Les Godwin, Bob Keene, Bart McDonough, Boof Perkins, John Sanders, Lawrence Walsh, and Charlie Widmayer; also Alfie McGrath's daughter Suzanne. Burial was in Hanover's Pine Knolls Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers many persons made contributions to the College to be applied toward the new hockey rink which is expected to include some form of memorial to Jerry.
FRANKLIN ROBERT WALLACE died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 5 at his office. Frank was assistant manager of Planning and Scheduling with Eastex Pulp and Paper Company, Evadale, Texas.
Following graduation from Tuck School he returned to Ogdensburg, N.Y., where he spent several years as treasurer of the Wallace Supply Co. In 1941 he joined the Sealright Company in Fulton, N.Y., and was chief accountant until moving to Texas in 1954 to join Eastex.
Frank was a member of the National Office Management Association and the National Association of Cost Accountants. He was also active in Masonry and a member of the Trinity Methodist Church in Beaumont.
The Class extends its deepest sympathy to his widow Lois, son Franklin Jr. and daughter Carolyn. Mrs. Wallace lives at 860 Yount Street, Beaumont, Texas.
1931
HAL NEAL SNOOK died in February at the Akron General Hospital, Akron, Ohio. He had been associated with the B. F. Goodrich Company since 1932 and handled a great volume of government contracts during World War II, particularly on barrage balloons and other inflatable products. Also, for some time he was the company coordinator for all Soap Box Derby activities.
At Dartmouth he was the president of Alpha Tau Omega. He was greatly interested in hunting and fishing, having bagged a bear while he was a student. In later life he made his own gun stocks, hand-loaded his own shells, and fabricated his own fish lures.
He is survived by his wife Romola, 176 Trunko, Akron, Ohio, and by his children Carol Ruth, Diana Jean, and Fred.
1933
NORMAN VINCENT CRABTREE died April 14, 1967 in England. For the past eleven years he had been chairman and chief executive of the W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co. (England) Ltd.
After graduation Norm went with The Norton Company for five years, and then enlisted in the R.A.F. Of his original squadron, only three men survived the war. After three years with the R.A.F. he transfered to the U.S.A.F. and was discharged as a major in 1946.
At Dartmouth Norm became a member of Alpha Chi Rho and was active in the French and Spanish Clubs and the Forensic Union.
He married Muriel Steel in 1943 and the sympathy of the Class is extended to her and their two sons, Michael '66, and Christopher. Muriel may be addressed at Felden House, Felden, Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead, Herford-shire, England.
1937
It is with deep regret that we report the sudden passing of JERROLD RAPHAEL GOLDING on April 7 of a heart attack. Jerry's death, at the age of 50, occurred at New York's Essex House, of which he was president.
Jerry was born in New York City on June 8, 1916 and prepared for Dartmouth at Columbia Grammar School. As an undergraduate he gave evidence of the quiet, thoughtful, unassuming person he was to remain through the years. He majored ,in English and was a member of Pi Lambda Phi fraternity. He began his career with the Sterling National Bank and Trust Company in New York, and was vice chairman of the board of directors at the time of his death.
Jerry interrupted his banking career to serve with the U.S: : Army. Transportation Corps in World War 11. He was' in the African paign. became a major in 1943, and was discharged in 1945 with the rank of lieutenant colonel. In 1947, when he was vice president of the Sterling bank, he was elected president of Essex House, one of New York's noted hotels. In that position he succeeded his brother, the late Major Arnold H. Golding '34.
Jerry was a trustee of the Hospital for Special Surgery, the Lenox School for Girls, and the Riverdale Country Day School. Dean Chamberlin '26, former Dartmouth English instructor and a close friend of Jerry's, sent us a long list of tributes placed in The New YorkTimes by organizations and charities in which Jerry was interested. Our classmate Stan Berenson, emphasizing the unheralded nature of Jerry's service to others, characterized him as "a very warm, cordial person with a great sensitivity for people."
At the April 9 service for Jerry, held at the Jewish Center in New York, Leo Jung's tribute included this passage: "What transcended his intellectual keenness was his golden heart. In attitude and practical help he worked for God's special wards, even the sick, the poor, the alien, the outsider. The colored personnel in his regiment knew his tender care, his universal sympathy. The crippled children of despair, the brilliant student needing his aid for entering college, all knew his warm, his dynamic interest. His generosity was doubly precious because he shunned all publicity. Modest and gentle as he was, he could become irate and determined when he saw any wrong. He battled manfully and successfully against discrimination. His indignation in the face of any oppressive attitude towards any minority indicated at once his passion for justice and his compassion."
Jerry is survived by his widow, the former Shirley Bero, of 778 Park Avenue, New York; a son, Arnold; a daughter, Mrs. Ronald Perelman of Philadelphia; his father, Samuel H. Golding; a brother, Morton; and one grandchild.

Dave graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy. At Dartmouth he Was an economics major and on graduation he served in the 8th Army Air Force and 2nd Paratroop Division from February 1943 until December 1945 as a sergeant (meteorologist) in the European Theater. In 1948 he was a Fellow in Economics at Clark University, Worcester, and later an Assistant Professor.

Dave was married to Dorothy Hickey in 1944 and their children were David, Denise, Richard, and Gail, who survive him.

Dave is also survived by his father, Elliott A. '12 and brother Philip A. '37. He was buried in Park Lawn Cemetery, Rockville, Md.
At Dartmouth Dave was a solid, serious person facing the economics of a college education with little more than determination to get it. He waited on table, delivered newspapers, performed many other tasks to support himself. Friends recall that he used to walk from his Norwich home to Hanover each day and then back at night in all kinds of weather. His special friends in College Hall and Crosby Hall shared his quiet humor and respected his determination.
On the untimely passing of this Dartmouth man who had still much promise unfulfilled, his classmates express sympathy to his widow, his father, and his children.
