Faculty

JOHN WESLEY MASLAND, A.M. '46, Professor of Government and former Provost of the College, died of a heart attack in New Delhi, India, on August 3 at the age of 56. Professor Masland, an adopted member of the Class of 1935, was on leave of absence from the College in order to serve as Ford Foundation adviser on education in India. He was working with Indian educators to identify the ways in which the Ford Foundation could best assist that country to meet its most pressing educational needs. He had just returned to New Delhi from home leave in the United States after having been in India since early 1967.

Professor Masland served as Provost of the College from 1959 to 1967, and was the chief faculty and administrative officer, under President Dickey, for all academic affairs. He came to Dartmouth from Stanford University as Professor of Government in 1946 and had specialized in national security policies, in which field he was an influential author and an adviser to the U. S. government. Education for the nation's military leadership was a particular interest, represented in his two most important books: Soldiers and Scholars: Military Education andNational Policy (1957), written with Prof. Laurence I. Radway of Dartmouth, and Educationand Military Leadership: A Study of the ROTC (1959), written with Prof. Gene M. Lyons of Dartmouth.

Professor Masland taught for two semesters at the National War College, one of them as Director of Studies, and the scope of his active and consultative service to the government is indicated by the record: Divisional Assistant, Department of State, 1942-43; Assistant Secretary, U. S. Secretariat, U.N. Conference at San Francisco, 1945; General Headquarters, Supreme Allied Commander, Tokyo, 1945-46; Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, 1948; Civilian Advisory Board, Army War College, 1954; Evaluation Committee, National War College, 1955; President's Committee on Education Beyond High School, 1956; National Defense Executive Reserve, Department of State, 1958-62; Board of Consultants, National War College, 1960-63; Secretary's Advisory Panel, Air Force ROTC, 1960-63; Academic Advisory Committee, U. S. Air Force Academy, 1963; Adviser to the Secretary of Defense, 1965.

Professor Masland's research and outside services were a great aid to his Dartmouth teaching, which dealt with international relations, American foreign policy, the Far East, and overseas development, as well as national security policies. He was chairman of the major in international relations, 1951-55, and chairman of the Department of Government, 1955-59. During his eight years as Provost he continued his active role in the government department. As Provost he played a key role in the development of Dartmouth's present educational program and in the inauguration of new graduate programs.

In higher education, as in government, he held many important assignments. He was a member of the Council of the American Political Science Association, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a trustee of the American Universities Field Staff, a trustee of the Institute of College and University Administrators, an executive board member of the InterUniversity Case Program, and a member of other councils and committees. In 1964-66 he headed an Education and World Affairs study of manpower needs and educational requirements in nine African countries, and later was a trustee of the African Scholarship Program of American Universities. His striking success in all these endeavors led the Ford Foundation to seek his services for two years to make the educational study in India in which he was engaged at the time of his death.

Professor Masland was born in Philadelphia on May 15, 1912. He was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Haverford College, with a B.S. in chemistry, in 1933 but shifted to political science for his graduate work which began at George Washington University in 1934-35 while he was with King Features Syndicate in Washington. The next three years were spent at Princeton where he received his M.A. in 1937 and his Ph.D. in 1938. For one year after Haverford he had been with the Masland Duraleather Co. of Philadelphia, the family business.

He began his teaching career at Stanford as instructor in political science in 1938. He became assistant professor in 1941 and associate professor in 1943. He was visiting professor at Columbia in 1948 and visiting fellow at Princeton in 1953.

In addition to the two books written with Dartmouth colleagues, Professor Masland was co-author of The Governments of Foreign Powers, with P. W. Buck, in 1947, and he wrote two chapters for The Art of Overseasmanship published in 1957.

In community affairs, Professor Masland was a member of the Hanover School Board, 1957-60, and had served as chairman of its advisory building committee three years earlier. He was a trustee of the Hitchcock Foundation, the Church of Christ, and Williston Academy.

Professor Masland's first marriage in July 1939 was to Harriet Gilbert of Hanover, who died in 1949. In June 1950 he was married to Mary S. Norton of Hanover, daughter to Max A. Norton '19, Associate Treasurer Emeritus of the College. She survives him, as do Joann Masland of Boston and James W. Masland, children by Professor Masland's first marriage, and two others sons, Thomas Norton Masland and Andrew Tyson Masland. Professor Masland also leaves a sister, Mrs. Andrew Dana of Villanova, Pa. Rollins Chapel was filled for a memorial service held by the family and the College on August 16. Private interment services had been held at Pine Knolls Cemetery, Hanover, four days earlier.

DR. MICHAEL GALTON, Associate Professor of Pathology at the Dartmouth Medical School, died August 15 in a San Antonio, Texas, hospital from injuries received in a highway accident ten days before. He was 35 years old and had been a member of the medical faculty here since 1961.

Dr. Galton, with his wife, who is Associate Professor of Physiology at the Dartmouth Medical School, and two young sons, was returning to Hanover from a year of special research at a Mexico City obstetrical hospital when the fatal accident happened at Dillion, Texas. He had stopped the car and gotten out to pick up a rare turtle when he was struck by a vehicle on the highway.

Dr. Galton and his wife, Dr. Valerie Anne Galton, were born in England and came to this country nine years ago when Dr. Galton received a two-year Fulbright Travel Award to visit the United States. He was house officer at Boston's Lying-in Hospital in 1959 and a research fellow in obstetrics and pathology at Harvard Medical School, 1959-60. The year before he came to Dartmouth he was Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Fellow in Obstetrics at Harvard. After serving as Instructor in Pathology at Dartmouth Medical School for two years, he was named assistant professor in 1963 and associate professor in 1967. He was a Hood Foundation Fellow in 1961-62 and a Markle Scholar in Academic Medicine, 1963-68. During the past year's sabbatical in Mexico City his research was devoted to coagulation disorders in pregnancy.

Dr. Galton was born in London, England, May 18, 1933. He attended the City of London School and was graduated from University College, London, with the B.Sc. degree in 1953. He received the B.S. and M.B. degrees from the University College Hospital Medical School, and during the three years there, 1953-56, received the Erichsen Prize, Tuke Medal, Lucy Chaplin Memorial Prize, Geoffrey Duveen Prize, and the Atchison Scholarship. He received the M.D. degree from the University of London in 1967.

Dr. Galton's major research interest was in reproductive pathology and he had written more than 25 papers in that field. Grants from the National Institutes of Health had supported much of his work at Dartmouth.

Dr. Galton leaves his wife and two sons, lan 7, and Kenneth 4. Cremation took place in San Antonio, Texas, and a memorial service was held in Rollins Chapel, Hanover, on August 21, with the Rev. Harvey Pinyoun of the Church of Christ officiating. Mrs. Galton will continue to teach at the Dartmouth Medical School.

ARTHUR RUSSELL VIRGIN, of New York City and North Hatley, Quebec, a generous patron of music at Dartmouth, died July 19, 1968 at North Hatley. He was 91 years old.

Mr. Virgin, a retired banker, early this year provided the funds to endow the Arthur R. Virgin 1900 Professorship of Music, to which Mario di Bonaventura, director of music at the Hopkins Center, was named. He had been a member of the Hopkins Center Music Advisory Committee since its inception in 1962. Mrs. Virgin, the former Mary Jeannette Blake of New York, shared her husband's interest in music and the theater, both of which they supported in New York and in Quebec where they founded the Piggery Summer Theater. Mr. Virgin was honorary president and director of the Townships Playhouse Guild, also a member of the Metropolitan Opera Guild.

The Virgins made their winter home in New York City and spent the summers at their Clematis Farm on Lake Massawippi in North Hatley, where Mr. Virgin was a notable flower gardener and Mrs. Virgin was celebrated for her championship herd of Jersey cattle. He was a director of the Horticultural Society of Stanstead County, Quebec, and had been vice president of the American Rock Garden Society, New York.

Born in Concord, N. H., May 2, 1877, Arthur Virgin attended Phillips Academy at Andover and entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1896. Known as "Pub" in college, he began his musical interests by singing in the Glee Club and Chapel Choir. He was Class Chorister at graduation and was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Sphinx. After graduation he was with the Boston brokerage firm of Adams and Co. and then, in 1905, he joined the Mechanics National Bank in Concord. Two years later he began his Canadian banking career in Sherbrooke with the Eastern Township Bank, and in 1912 he moved to the Canadian Bank of Commerce, for which he managed the North Hatley branch from 1915 until his retirement in 1937.

CHANNING HARRIS COX, former Governor of Massachusetts, banker, and civic leader in Boston, died August 20, 1968 at his summer residence in West Harwich, Mass. He was 89.

Mr. Cox succeeded Calvin Coolidge as Republican Governor of Massachusetts and served two terms, 1921-25. Prior to that he was a member of the House of Representatives, 1910-15; Speaker of the House, 1915-18; and Lieutenant Governor, 1919-20. When his governorship ended he was urged to run for the U. S. Senate seat vacated by Henry Cabot Lodge but he chose instead to turn to banking. He became vice president and a director of the First National Bank of Boston, and in 1933 he was elected president of the Old Colony Trust Co. He retired from that position in 1946.

Channing Cox was one of three distinguished Dartmouth brothers. Guy Cox '93 was president of the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. and Louis Cox '96 was a Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. A fourth brother, Walter, had entirely different interests but was also celebrated as the leading harnessracing driver, trainer, and breeder of his time.

In memory of his three brothers, Channing Cox in 1966 gave Dartmouth a fund of $101,000 to be used for the purchase of books and other library purposes. His interest in Dartmouth and Class of 1901 affairs was lifelong, and he held many alumni offices, beginning with the 1901 class secretaryship in 1905. He was president of the Boston alumni association in 1917-18, and president of the General Association of Dartmouth Alumni in 1930-31. Dartmouth awarded him the honorary LL.D. degree in 1922, when he was governor, and in 1957 the Dartmouth Alumni Council conferred on him its highest honor, the Alumni Award.

Channing Cox was born in Manchester, N. H., on February 28, 1879 and entered Dartmouth from the high school of that city. In college he became the good friend of his classmate Ernest Martin Hopkins, with whom he served on the Aegis board. He was active musically, with the Glee Club and Chapel Choir, and was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa.

After Dartmouth, he took his law degree at Harvard Law School in 1904 and practiced law in Boston for a few years before beginning his political career in 1908 as a member of the Boston City Council. Two years later he entered the state legislature and began his climb to the governorship. Along with his political activities with the Republican party he continued the practice of law until he became governor. His opponent in his second successful campaign for the governorship was John F. Fitzgerald, grandfather of President John F. Kennedy.

During his four-year administration, Governor Cox reduced the state deficit by half, led advances in public education and health, im- proved the state hospitals, and established a state police constabulary. After leaving office he was a delegate to the 1924 and 1928 Republican conventions. In 1941, at the request of Governor Saltonstall, he organized the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety and was its chairman through World War II.

Mr. Cox was a director of the United Fruit Co., Revere Sugar Co., First National Bank of Boston, Boston Herald-Traveler Corp., Boston Children's Friend Society, Boys Camp Inc., U. S. Smelting and Refining Co., and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.

He was a trustee of Boston Five Cents Savings Bank, Boston Publishing Co., Boston University, Wheaton College, New England Conservatory of Music, Deaconess Hospital, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Boston Council of Boy Scouts of America, Travelers Aid Society, Massachusetts Humane Society, and Beacon Society. He was a member and vestryman of Trinity Church, Boston, and belonged to the Algonquin, University, and other clubs.

Mr. Cox was married February 18, 1915 to Mary Emery Young of Brookline, Mass., who died in 1966. He is survived by their one daughter, Miss Nancy Cox of Boston. Funeral services were private, with burial in the family lot at Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain.

1902

One of the most popular members of the Class of 1902 during our undergraduate days was HAROLD FRANCIS PARKER, or "Beezle" as he was affectionately known to everyone. He was born in Reading, Mass., on December 13, 1880, and prepared for college in that town. "Beezle" died in the same city, after a long and painful illness, on July 9, 1968.

He had married Bertha Gould on April 29, 1910. She died October 22, 1953, leaving a son and daughter. He was married again on December 7, 1957 to Miss Christine O'Brien who was his comfort and stay through the long difficult years of his last illness. She survives him, at 22 Whittier Rd., Reading. He is also survived by his son and daughter, his brother Robert '10, two sisters, and seven grandchildren.

In college, Beezle was a leading member of the Dramatic Club and manager of the track team. He belonged to Theta Nu Epsilon, Theta Delta Chi Fraternity, and Casque and Gauntlet. Immediately after graduation he entered business, starting in Philadelphia with Western Electric, but most of his life was associated with insurance in his native town of Reading. Deeply interested in civic affairs, he was a member of various Masonic groups and a charter member and first president of the Reading Rotary Club.

The rest of us join his family in mourning him. Beezle Parker was one of the best of men, and we are the better for having known him. There are too few among the living of whom this can be said. It is a joy to remember him.

ARTHUR LEON LEWIS, one of the outstanding members of our Class, died July 25. He was born June 25, 1885, in Laconia, N. H. and he prepared for Dartmouth at Laconia High School. After leaving college he became associated with the import tailoring house of W. C. Brooks and Company of Boston, then became associated with Hayden, Stone and Company, investment bonds, as their representative in Springfield, Mass. In May 1912, he became secretary and later manager of the Cowan Truck Company of Holyoke, Mass.

Art's business career really took form when in February 1915 at the age of 29 he resigned from the Cowan Truck Company in order to form the new firm of Lewis-Shepard with F. J. Shepard Jr., an M.I.T. engineer. At that time the now well-established field of material handling was in its infancy and the Lewis-Shepard Company became the first to market a multistroke mechanical lift truck.

As president, Art guided the efforts of Lewis-Shepard through the next 50 years, during which time many design "firsts" were introduced into the rapidly growing field of material handling. By the time of its 50th anniversary in 1965, Lewis-Shepard claimed the most diversified range of electric industrial trucks in the industry and was recognized for its ability to design and produce equipment for special applications. Shortly after the 50th anniversary, Arthur was elevated to chairman and his son, John H. Lewis, became president. He was forced to retire in 1965 as a result of a stroke but continued his interest in the business.

Arthur had a distinguished record as head class agent for the Class of 1908 in which he had served since 1923. On May 5, 1961 he received at a class officers' meeting in Hanover the James B. Reynolds Trophy for 30 years as 1908 head agent, the longest service by any head agent in the Alumni Fund organization.

On June 1, 1911, Arthur was married to Eva Caroline Hilton, sister of Conrad Hilton of the Hilton Hotel chain. They were parents of three girls and a boy. Art is survived by two daughters, his son, and 14 grandchildren. On January 1, 1941, he married Naomi Kirchner of Cincinnati, who had a daughter Marcia. Art and Naomi lived on North Street in Medfield, Mass.

JUSTIN HOWARD MCCARTHY, retired vice pres- ident of St. Regis Paper Co., died June 10, 1968 in Jacksonville, Fla., where he lived at 5028 Yacht Club Rd.

Justin was born September 13, 1894 in Ports-mouth, N. H., and received his B.S. degree from Dartmouth in 1915 and his C.E. degree a year later.

Joining St. Regis as plant engineer in 1946, he was located in Tacoma, Wash., until 1951 when he moved to Jacksonville where he became resident engineer while that plant was under construction.

He was appointed chief engineer of the pulp and paper division in 1952 and was elected vice president, special products group, in 1955. He held this position until his retirement in 1965. Since his retirement he had served as a special consultant with St. Regis.

While serving as vice president for special projects, Justin was primarily responsible for three major expansions undertaken by St. Regis - the Jacksonville mill, the Hilton, Alta., Canada mill, and the recently completed mill at Monticello, Miss.

1916

JUSTUS CHRISTIAN DOENECKE, known to his classmates as Dutch, died July 31 in Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was born on May 15, 1895. Those of us at our 50th reunion will recall Dutch walking slowly with a cane, with one or another of us helping him along. Some years ago he had been operated on for varicose veins in his legs. Following a period of relief, the circulation in his feet gradually worsened and at last, bedridden for half a year, he recently submitted to amputation of his legs below the knees. But his physical deterioration had progressed too far.

Dutch was with us at Hanover during only our first two years, having been forced to leave to help his father in the latter's contracting business. In these years as an underclassman he participated prominently in Dartmouth theatricals, notably in the casts of "She Stoops to Conquer" in the winter of our freshman year, and the next year in "The Misleading Lady" during the Winter Carnival and in the operetta "Ta-Ta-Tango" of Junior Prom week. It was in the second of these productions that Walter Wanger, the luminary then practically in charge of the Dartmouth Dramatic Association, in Dutch's own words, "scored a coup which has been unrivalled in the realm of college theatricals," for the play was staged at Hanover while a professional company was playing it at the Fulton Theater in New York City. And during that run the Dartmouth boys by invitation gave a matinee performance in the same theater.

Almost single-handedly for many years Dutch ran a series of Class dinners in New York City. All of us cherish his recent series of sixteen articles in our Class newsletter on these plays and on extracurricular activities of college life and traditions. But perhaps his love for the College may best be appreciated by the method of his return for our 50th reunion. Barely able to get around, he doggedly insisted on returning to Hanover by train to re-live his first such trip up-river to become, for all life, a Dartmouth man.

Dutch was married on October 19, 1935 to Eleanore Howard Smith, who survives him along with their son, Justus D., assistant professor at Ohio Wesleyan University; a stepson, and a brother.

EARLE BARRY ROBINSON, who had been a patient in a nursing home in Hollidaysburg, Pa., for the past several years, died there on July 2, 1968. Several weeks before he had fallen and fractured his hip and in the course of time he developed pneumonia, the real cause of his death.

He was born in Johnstown, Pa., on July 27, 1893. On March 6, 1924 at Johnstown he married Mildred O. Goff who predeceased him in April 1961. There was one son by the marriage, Earle Barry Jr., and he survives.

1918

JAMES MCLELLAN LANGLEY died from a heart seizure and shock June 23 at Concord, N. H., Hospital.

Jim or "Cap" wrote his own obituary for publication in the Concord Monitor, a newspaper he owned from 1923 to 1961 and of which he remained Editor. Excerpts from his own death notice: "My boyhood was lived in Vermont - I entered Dartmouth in 1913, flunked out midterm my sophomore year, returned the next fall, left to enter Plattsburgh when this country went to war, and finally graduated in 1917, wearing the two bars of a Captain of Infantry. To justify its diploma Dartmouth gave me scholastic credits for military service, offsetting credits it had denied me because I had taken excessive Chapel cuts."

Jim was born in Hyde Park, Mass., October 11, 1894. His father founded the Barre (Vt.) Daily Times so his son early in life, during school vacations and after school, worked at the Times at different tasks.

He helped create the N. H. State Planning and Development Commission and became its Chairman. He served as Chairman of the Concord Planning Board ten years. The Concord Hospital was the outgrowth of his leadership and he became its first president. Jim organized and was president of the New Hampshire-Vermont Blue Cross and urged and helped organize its affiliate, Blue Shield. "Along the way, I was involved in many other civic activities. I was Chairman of the State Land Use Board, Chairman of a Commission on Reorganization of the State Tax Structure, Chairman of a Commission on Revision of the State Corrupt Practices Act, chairman of the commission to study problems at the University of N. H., founder and first President of. Concord Regional Development Corp., and a member of the Bow School Board."

"I served as Chairman of the United States Delegation in negotiation of an agreement on Trade and other matters with the Philippines." He was later appointed U. S. Ambassador to Pakistan.

'I married Florence M. Granger during World War I. We had two children who survive me and nine grandchildren. Also surviving me is my widow Lois to whom I was married in 1947 and our three children; Jane, Jeremy and Jill, of Bow (N. H.)."

"There will be no funeral, memorial or burial services for me, at my request."

DR. EDWARD STUDHOLME MCDOWELL, of point View Terrace, Plattsburgh, N. Y., passed away on May 22, 1968, in the Physicians Hospital Unit of the Medical Center. He was 72 years of age.

Ed, who practiced surgery and obstetrics in Plaţtsburgh for 43 years, retired from medical Practice in 1965. The next year the Clinton County Bar Association presented him with a Liberty Bell Award in a special term of the County Court. The Association's president said that Ed was the poor man's champion and the last of the era's family doctors."

Ed was born February 4, 1896, at Moriah N. Y., and went to Plattsburgh in 1922, where he became associated with the Physicians Hospital when it opened in 1926. He served as the first X-Ray Department Chief at the hospital.

He was not only a physician to his fellow city residents, but also served the community in many other capacities. He was a member of the Board of Education and a member of the Plattsburgh Air Force Base Liaison Commission.

He graduated from Dartmouth in 1918, after two years of pre-medical study. In 1920 he graduated from the University of Cincinnati Medical School. Later he interned at the Albany Hospital.

Ed is survived by his wife, Hazel, one son, Dr. David B. '46 of Plattsburgh, and three daughters.

ADOLF FREDERICK YOUNGSTROM, one of Dartmouth's all-time football greats, died after a long illness on August 5, 1968 in the Deaconess Hospital in Boston.

Born in Waltham, Mass., in 1897, he pre- pared for college at Waltham High School, where he made a notable start on his brilliant football career. Later, the Swede (the nickname carried all his life) became one of the most famous guards ever to play for Dartmouth and the leading punt-blocker of Eastern football. In one season he blocked nine punts in major games, three of them crucial in tieing Colgate, two to win against Cornell. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa and of Casque and Gauntlet.

In World War I he served in the Navy, where for a time he played football in the Second Naval District at Newport, R. I., on a team that included other contemporary Ivy League greats. In 1919 he was named All-American guard by Walter Camp, at that time the final arbiter.

Later he played professional football for the Buffalo All Americans and after that for the Frankfort Yellow Jackets, meanwhile coaching at New York University.

After a career in real estate he was named review appraiser for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1961. Following a serious operation for stomach ulcers in 1958, he suffered steadily declining health.

He is survived by his widow, the former Ruth C. Armstrong, to whom the Class proffers deep sympathy. Hubie and Estelle McDonough, Ed Ferguson, and John Donahue represented 1918 at the funeral services, where also were present George Fiske '20 and David Bowen '21. Mrs. Youngstrom has requested that her thanks be conveyed for the flowers sent by the Class.

1919

CHARLES STANLEY DEARSTYNE died in a nursing home in Troy, N. Y., on July 22 after a long illness. Charlie came to Hanover from the Albany (N. Y.) Academy with Jerry Kerwin and was a Phi Beta Kappa and a Rufus Choate Scholar in his junior year in Hanover, an honor very rare in our Class or any other.

He joined the family firm, Dearstyne Brothers, a nationally known tobacco distributor, and remained with them during his business life, retiring in 1964 after 47 years. Chuck was a member of the University Club of Albany, a 32nd degree Mason, a member of Rotary, and an Advisory Director of the National Association of Tobacco Distributors.

Chuck never married and is survived by two nieces, to whom goes the most sincere sympathy of 1919.

CHARLES WESLEY EATON died July 18 at the age of 71 after a long and painful illness. Chuck was with the class one year and trans-ferred to M.I.T. but left in 1917 to join the Army Air Service.

He spent his entire business life in the investment field, latterly, before his retirement, as a partner in Shields and Co. The Eatons lived m Cohasset, Mass., for many years and were members of the local golf and yacht clubs and the Algonquin Club of Boston.

His wife Charlotte (Eddy)' predeceased him. He is survived by a cousin. A memorial service was held at St. Stephen's Church in Cohasset on July 23. Chuck was very prominent in Boston brokerage circles and will be greatly missed by his local classmates.

1922

RICHARD WYMAN NOYES died February 10, 1968, in Colebrook, N. H. He was 68 years old. He was born in Colebrook and was graduated from Colebrook Academy in 1918 He attended Dartmouth as a freshman. Apparently he lived most if not all of his life in his native town. Eƒorts by the Class and the Records Office to ascertain if he left survivors have been unavailing.

The Class has received word that THOMAS POWER SULLIVAN of 46 Ocean Ave., Marblehead, Mass., passed away December 9, 1966 after a long illness. He was born July 13, 1900 in Danvers, Mass., and was graduated from its high school. He will be favorably remembered by friends of his two years at Dartmouth. He later attended Boston University.

In 1938, according to class records, he was an accountant with the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation. He later was a supervisor in this department and in 1951 he became director of the department. Due to ill health he retired in 1958 and was home for eight years preceding his death.

Tom's first wife died 25 years ago. In 1945 he married Anna C. Coyne at Portland, Me. To her and to three children who also survive him the Class offers its condolence.

MORRISON SMYLIE BEGGS died at South Shore Hospital, Weymouth, Mass., on June 25 following a heart attack. At the time of his death he was president of the M. S. Beggs Co., advertising and public relations consultants in Boston He and his wife, Edith, made their home at 8 Whittier Place, Boston.

A native of Glen Ridge, N. J., Shiner came to Dartmouth from Glen Ridge High School. At Hanover he fulfilled the athletic promise of his high school days by representing the College for four years on the gym team, the last of these as its captain. He was also a member of Phi Gamma Delta, Palaeopitus, Casque and Gauntlet and Occum Council and was College Club Representative during his junior year.

During practically all his business career Shiner was involved with the merchandising of advertising, public relations, and the promotion of various publications. The firm which he headed at the time of his death was the result of a long and successful background of experience in these and related fields of business.

An early entry in the 1923 Class Scrapbook records Shiner's long-standing friendship with Frank Doten, Sherm Clough, Fred Bailey, Bob McMillan and Jim Broe. All were present at his funeral services.

During the mid-twenties Ed spent a tew years in Brockton, Mass., and Providence, R. I., in the employ of the New England Telephone Company. I had many good times with him during those years most of which we lived together in the same boarding houses.

Word has just reached us of the death of RALPH WILLENER PIEKSON at Waco, Texas, on April 25.

Ralph was born on December 5, 1900 in Bloomingdale, Ill. He came to Dartmouth from Normal, Ill., and was a graduate of University High School. Ralph was with us only during freshman year. After leaving Dartmouth he earned his A.B. degree at Yale in 1924. Notice of his death was forwarded to the Alumni Records Office by his widow but we have been unable to contact her regarding his other survivors or obtain any information concerning his business or professional life.

1924

It is a coincidence that two retired classmates, both having years of service with the telephone companies in their areas, should die in the same month and year. LAWRENCE SHERMAN STONE'S widow, Aletha, telephoned me the sad news just after he had slipped away painlessly, fortunately—after a losing battle with cancer. He had been living at Smoke Rise Farm, Walpole, N. H.

It may be a surprise to many to know Larry was born in Quebec, where his father had a lumbering business. Returning to Walpole was truly a homecoming, for he attended Bellows Falls High School but graduated from Monson (Mass.) Academy. His career is a straight line with the Southern New England Telephone Company in Hartford, Conn. He joined them in 1927 and retired as their general marketing manager in early 1965.

Larry is survived by his wife, Aletha, and three daughters as well as a sister. No mention of grandchildren was made in the newspaper account so cannot be included here. The Class will be glad to know Aletha plans to continue the strong ties to Dartmouth and '24.

There is such a good write-up in the 40th Yearbook that I will refrain from repetition of all but the basic facts, including the sad one that CASPER ELMER WHITNEY died July 31, in Omaha, where he lived at 7202 Webster St.

Cap was one of our older classmates, being born October 2, 1898, in Nashua, N. H. He moved to Nebraska in 1952 as General Division Superintendent for Northwest Bell Telephone, and was with them until his retirement in 1965. Then he kept busy as a registered representative for investments and securities. His war record is known to many: captain to major in the Army Signal Corps, 1942-46, at Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.

He is survived by his widow, Lillian and two daughters, also by four grandchildren and three brothers.

I wrote last fall of the Whitneys' travels, and was glad they had so much fun. Cap had a huge capacity for enjoyment, and that is never lost to those who shared in the fun.

1925

EDWARD DAVID QUINT died August 25, 1968, at Charlevoix, Mich.

Born in Russian Lithuania on October 27, 1902, Ed prepared for college at Keene (N. H.) High School but remained for only his freshman year. He obtained a law degree from Harvard in 1928.

He was a partner in the law firm of Butzel, Levin, Winston & Quint and had practiced law in Detroit 40 years. He had served on several committees of the State Bar of Michigan and Detroit Bar Association.

Surviving are his wife, Frances; a son, Peter; a daughter, Mrs. John C. Gray; and three sisters, to whom the deep sympathy of the Class is extended.

1926

HARRY JEROME FISHER of 94 High Farms Road, West Hartford, Conn., died August 9 at Middlesex (Conn.) Memorial Hospital. He had become ill the evening before while attending a performance at Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn.

Harry had retired February 1, 1968 from the business he formed in 1955, Fisher Supply Co., at which time he also acquired an interest in the Windsor Co. of Windsor, Conn. Always a tobacco man, he was prior to that manager of the Connecticut Leaf Dept. of the H. Duy's Co. of New York.

Busy as he was in his business and with his family he could always make time for Dartmouth and '26. The Class will always remember his outstanding performance as our 30th Reunion chairman. At the same time and characteristically he made it seem fun for himself and Mary too. And who among us will forget his leadership in class gatherings before the Yale game? Before the era of big clubs and big tents he made between the johns on the visitors' side of the Yale bowl "our turf."

His clubs were the Dartmouth Club of Hartford, City Club of Hartford, Farmington Country Club, and the Country Club of Avon, of which he was president in 1944. A Nutmegger by adoption, he came to the College from Ridgefield Park, N. J. and while at college became a member of Delta Tau Delta.

At memorial services August 12 the Class was represented by Don Church, Bob and Dot Salinger, Henry and Ellen Andretta, Helen Weeks, Dick Sagendorph, and Dave and Helen Harriman. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rice '23 and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zimmerman '23 were also present.

To Mary and their two sons Harry H. Fisher of West Hartford and Andrew M. Fisher of Wilmington, Vt., the Class extends its sincere sympathy.

WILLIAM HOWARD BARCLAY JR. suffered a fatal heart attack at his home, 17 Sea Pine Road, Harbor Coves, Chathamport, Mass., on April 3, 1968. Bill was aware of his heart impairment but he did not let it affect his spirit or his zest for life. He came to Hanover from Pawtucket, R. I., and Clark School. In college he became a member of Psi Upsilon.

Bill's avocations were sports and Dartmouth. Until forced out of attending the last one by his doctor he had attended every Olympiad since college including that held in Australia.

Only with us two years, Bill's devotion to Dartmouth and the Class of '26 was unbounded. He could always be counted on for anything involving either. His cheery disposition, dry wit, and good nature endeared him to his classmates and all who knew him. Wherever '26ers gather he will be missed.

With the death of GEORGE WHEELER BUCK on August 5, 1968 in Putney Memorial Hospital, Bennington, Vt., the Class lost another of its most loyal members.

A prominent insurance and real estate man in Bennington, George had for 21 years been president of the Wills Agency, Inc. Before forming the agency George was bonding superintendent for the Aetna Life and Casualty Co. in Boston and a close associate of the late Vermont Governor, William H. Wills. He was also a past president of the Vermont Association of Insurance Agents, and the Bennington County Savings and Loan Association, a director of Country National Bank of Bennington, a 32nd degree Mason, and member of Cairo Temple of Rutland.

George entered college from Hanover High School and became a member of Gamma Delta Chi.

To his wife Isabel, twin daughters, Mrs. William Cogswell of Hanover, N. H. and Mrs. John More of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and three sisters the Class extends its sincere sympathy.

HENRY EUGENE HUDGINS died in Baltimore on May 20, 1968 after suffering a long illness that began with a malignancy in his throat a few years ago. He lived at 1643 Waverly Way.

"Bib" Hudgins was born in Baltimore, Md., but came to Dartmouth in the fall of 1922 from the Battin High School in Elizabeth, N. J., where he had made an impressive record as an athlete in baseball, basketball, and tennis. At Dartmouth, Bib played on the freshman basketball team, captained the freshman baseball team, was a member of Green Key, Alpha Delta Phi, Casque & Gauntlet, and shortstop on the varsity baseball team for three years.

Upon graduation, Bib eschewed a professional baseball opportunity with the Cincinnati Reds and joined the advertising firm of George W. Batten in New York. Later this became the famous Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborne, for whom Bib was one of the principal copywriters on the Colgate account. In 1936 he moved over to Arthur Kudner, Inc., where he remained until early 1939 when he moved his family to Onancock, Va., to live the life of a farmer and to carry on a free-lance advertising business of his own.

But the pastoral life evidently did not suit Bib's restive spirit for long. Within a very short time he moved to the Baltimore-Annapolis area where he could again get into the excitement of big city advertising. In Baltimore be was connected with the Joseph Katz and the McManus, John & Adams Agencies. He also became Advertising Director for the National Brewing Company and later with the Leon Shaffer Golnick Agency.

Bib was married in March 1936 to Ruth Robbins in Asbury Park, N. J., and they had one son, Henry E. Jr.

The Class of 1926 and Bib's many other Dartmouth friends extend sympathies to Ruth and Henry Jr. in their great loss.

ALBERT JOSEPH KEENAN JR., a vice president of Moore-McCormack lines and a leading travel executive, died August 14, 1968, in New York Hospital after a brief illness. He was 55 years old, and lived at 16 Sutton Place.

Al's death came as a great shock to classmates, who had seen him as the picture of health earlier this summer. He entered the hospital with a mysterious infection, which doctors were unable to locate or diagnose.

Al had enjoyed a long and distinguished career with Moore-McCormack Lines. He joined them after World War II, and, with tours of duty in Latin America and Europe, rose through the ranks to general passenger traffic manager in 1954 and vice president in charge of passenger service in 1957.

WILLIAM WHITNEY TALMAN, who for many years portrayed the role of Hamilton Burger, the district attorney who never won a case in the "Perry Mason" television series, died on August 30 at the West Valley Community Hospital, Encino, Calif. He had been hospitalized for treatment of lung cancer, first noted last September.

Bill Talman was born in Detroit and prepared for Dartmouth at the Cranbrook School. He did not graduate from Dartmouth but his years in Hanover were marked by an early interest in dramatics. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi. His dramatic activities continued after his transfer to the University of Michigan.

Bill Talman never lost his love for the theatre. He acted in summer stock when he wasn't working in iron foundries, steel mills or boatyards, or as an automobile salesman. His acting ability finally earned him recognition on stage and screen and he appeared in many movies and on television. One of his best known movie roles was in the 1953 film "The Hitch Hiker." His last role was in "The Ballad of Josie" with Doris Day, released in 1968.

During World War II Bill served with the U. S. Army.

He is survived by his widow, Margaret, and their two children, at 15426 Valley Vista, Sherman Oaks, as well as two children by a previous marriage.

1938

Always his own man, "Geb" was a unique friend who lived all out whether he was slashing down a mountain side on skis or unrolling his rich laugh with a friend. He held nothing back. He was Dartmouth at its best and those of us who knew and loved him are diminished by his passing, but grateful for the warm and uncluttered example of his life.
