Faculty

Louis MILTON GILL JR. '36, Associate Professor of Music, was one of 32 persons killed in the Northeast Airlines crash on nearby Moose Mountain on October 25. A well-known performer and composer of organ music, he was returning home from a two-week series of organ recitals and seminars in several cities, including Boston, Cleveland, and Washington, D. C., where he had just completed an appointment as lecturer-in-residence at the College of Church Musicians, associated with the National Cathedral.

Professor Gill, who was College Organist and Chairman of the Department of Music, had been a member of the Dartmouth faculty since 1959. He was highly regarded for his interpretations of both contemporary and baroque organ music, especially the music of Bach. As a composer, he won national first prize from the American Guild of Organists in 1962 for his Toccata for Organ. He also wrote a number of choral works and his setting of Psalm 130 for mixed voices and organ was first performed by the Handel Society Chorus in February 1963, with Professor Gill as organist. His Processional for Organ, used recently at both Convocation and Commencement, was written largely while he was in Germany on a Dartmouth Faculty Fellowship in 1964-65. There he studied organ with Heinz Wunderlich.

A dedicated and popular teacher, whose enthusiasm for Bach was too great to be restrained, Professor Gill was genuinely mourned by students and faculty alike. The Dartmouth praised his enlargement of the place of music in the life of the College, and said, "Students will remember Milton Gill as the man who showed them how to experience the joy of music."

Professor Gill was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., on October 31, 1932. He attended Culver Academy and was graduated with honors from Princeton in 1954. After two years' service as an officer in the Army field artillery, he returned to Princeton to obtain a Master of Fine Arts Degree in 1959, studying composition with Roger Sessions and organ with Carl Weinrich. While at Princeton, he directed the freshman glee club and served as assistant organist and choirmaster for the University Chapel.

Professor Gill was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the College Music Society, and the American Guild of Organists. He was married in 1958 to the former Patricia-Anne Hillman of Cambridge, Mass., who survives him He also is survived by a daughter Kathryn, 7, a son, Jeffrey, 4, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Milton Gill of Baldwin, Long Island, N. Y.

Funeral services were held October 29 in St. Thomas Episcopal Church, where Professor Gill had served as organist and choir director. Officiating were the Rev. Edward H. MacBurney '49, Rector of St. Thomas, the Rev. Robert S. Mac Arthur III '64, Curate, and the Rev. John L. Mitman, Assistant Rector.

1896

STEPHEN CHASE, 94, of Ozona, Fla., oldest living graduate of the College, died October 5 in Dunedin, Fla. He had lived for many years in Dunedin, where from 1922 until his retirement a few years ago he owned and operated a large citrus grove.

Mr. Chase was a member of one of the most distinguished of Dartmouth families. His grandfather was Stephen Chase, 1832, Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth from 1838 to 1851, and his father was Frederick Chase, 1860, Treasurer of the College from 1875 to 1890. He had three Dartmouth brothers: Frederick Chase '05, Philip Chase '07, and the late Theodore Chase '99; and two Dartmouth sons: Stephen Chase Jr. '25 and Frederick Chase '30. His grandson, Frederick Chase Jr. '53, was the fifth successive generation to graduate from Dartmouth. He was also related to the noted Lord family of Hanover, and Prof. John K. Lord, 1868, onetime Acting President of the College, was his uncle.

Stephen Chase was born in Hanover on July 28, 1874. As a Dartmouth undergraduate he was a nationally renowned track star and would have been on the U.S. Olympic Team of 1896 if College authorities hadn't opposed it. In 1894, running as a member of the New York Athletic Club, he established a world's record of 15.6 seconds in the 120-yard high hurdles, and the next year, in a heralded race against England's Godfrey Shaw, he won and lowered the record to 15.4 seconds. Mr. Chase was a member of Beta Theta Pi and Casque and Gauntlet.

For one year after graduation he was athletic director at Knox College. In 1897 he returned to New England to be owner and manager of the Passumpsic (Vt.) Fiber Leather Co. In 1907 he added to this business the operation of the New Hampshire Experiment Station Farm in Hanover, which was mainly a dairy farm. In 1917 the war effort called him to Washington to head the livestock section of the Food Administration's statistical division. After the war, he became an instructor and farm manager at the McDonough School in Pikesville, Md., and remained there three years until moving to Dunedin, Fla., in 1922.

In Dunedin, Mr. Chase served on the Dunedin Commission and was president of the Pinellas Growers Association, a cooperative group. His avocation was the raising of gladiolus, most of which was done at his summer home in Danville, Vt. He was a well-known hybridizer, introducing a score of new glads and winning many prizes and one grand championship.

Mr. Chase in 1902 married Helen Watts of Peacham, Vt., and two sons and one daughter were born of this union. Mrs. Chase died in 1945. His second marriage, in 1949, was to Helen C. Ross of St. Johnsbury, Vt., who survives him with the three children, Stephen Jr. '25 of Sao Paulo, Brazil; Frederick '30 of Wilson, N. C., and Mary (Mrs. Maxey N. Morrison) of Swarthmore, Pa. Seven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and two brothers also survive.

A graveside burial service was held in the Old Dartmouth Cemetery, Hanover, on October 11.

1903

WILLARD LAMONTE HARTSHORN, of Claremont, Calif, died August 15, 1968 in South Pomona, Calif. Willard was born December 19, 1881, in Clinton, Wis. He entered Dartmouth from Evanston (Ill.) High School. At Hanover he became a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the Dramatic Club, and Aegis board. In 1901 he was president of the Dramatic Club.

Willard married Rachel E. Richardson in 1906. She and a daughter Mary survive. For many years Willard was in the building business but more recently had been retired. Since 1965 Willard and his family have lived in Claremont Manor. They continued their interest in 1903 and loyalty to Dartmouth.

The Class extends deepest sympathy for Mrs. Hartshorn and daughter Mary, who live at 653 West Bonita Ave., Claremont.

1904

HARRY BOIT MORSE died July 12, 1968. He was born August 9, 1881 in Newtonville, Mass., the son of a prominent lawyer. Harry's college preparatory work was mostly at Cheshire Academy but he also attended schools in Dresden, Germany, and Lucerne, Switzerland. He remained at Dartmouth for two years, after which he worked in a textile mill for several years.

Ever since his childhood Harry had dreamed of going west and actively participating in what was then the last frontier. In 1906 he went to Rifle, Colo., and, in order to learn the livestock business he worked for several of the larger cattle ranches in the area. In 1909 he married Ray Lucille Johnson, the great-granddaughter of Gail Borden, a Texas patriot who invented condensed milk. Mrs. Morse survives her husband and lives in a nursing home in Hemet, Calif.

In 1909 Harry purchased land near Keen, Calif., which he expanded in the next few years to the Keen Kern Cattle Company, a ranch which became well known throughout California and a large part of the west. In addition to his ranching activities during this period Harry was also actively engaged in the oil business, drilling and leasing wildcat wells. He numbered many intimate friends among the cowhands with whom he worked during his first years in the west. He was intimate among the tycoons of the cattle and oil businesses and numerous motion picture celebrities during the 20's became his close friends. There were numbered among them Will Hays, Douglas Fairbanks, and Cecil B. DeMille.

The outstanding career which Harry enjoyed for thirty years was cut short in 1936 when he contracted tuberculosis, and he was never active again in business after this time. He lived on the desert for 15 years and spent the rest of his life in the Hemet Valley where, completely cured of his illness, he spent an active life.

Of the three children born to Harry and Mrs. Morse, a daughter, Phila Morse Hyland, is now deceased. Two sons, Richard B. Morse of Fort Worth, Texas, and Harry B. Morse Jr. of Walla Walla, Wash., survive.

We cherish his memory.

1905

CHARLES EDWARD ESTES died September 16 at the Tri-County Osteopathic Hospital in Kittery, Me. He had been smitten with a moderate heart attack on August 10, but had appeared to be making a good recovery until a series of additional attacks proved to be fatal.

At Dartmouth "Ned" made many friends. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta, served as Glee Club accompanist for three years and was a member of the College Choir for two years.

Immediately after graduation Ned taught music and English at Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey. There he was made head of the music department. His success was outstanding. Using English as a language base, he combined singing with the study of the English language. His students had an original background of no less than twenty foreign languages.

In 1947, after having retired from Robert College Ned became organist and choir master at the First Parish Congregational Church in Dover, N. H. There he served with enthusiasm and pleasure for twenty years.

The people of the First Parish Church honored Prof. Estes' retirement with a testimonial dinner in the church on January 16 of this year. There was a warm expression of appreciation for the completion of these twenty years which rounded out a career of more than 60 years in music. Some 200 people attended and presented Ned with a beautiful plaque.

While Ned's life was mainly devoted to music, he enjoyed gardening as a rewarding pastime. He served as president of the Rotary Club in South Berwick where he lived after his return from Turkey.

In 1915 Ned married Caroline Lee, granddaughter of Cyrus Hamlin, founder of Robert College. She died in 1932. He is survived by a son, a daughter, and five grandchildren.

1906

RALPH GLAZE of Cambria, Calif., died in a nursing home in Atascadero on October 31, after a long and distressing illness.

"Pitcher" Glaze, as he was always known to his college contemporaries, was born in Denver, Colo., March 13, 1882. and came to Dartmouth from East Denver High School. Lively, friendly, outgoing, with his remarkable athletic skill and accomplishments, he quickly became one of the prominent members of his Class. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Turtle, and Sphinx. He played on both football and baseball varsity teams throughout his four years and won his D in both sports. He played right end on the eleven and pitched for the nine. In his senior year Walter Camp named him All-American end.

For over twenty years after graduation Pitcher followed a career in athletics. He coached football at Dartmouth in 1906 and baseball in 1908. He then spent eight years in professional baseball, as a pitcher for the Red Sox and Indianapolis. He served as athletic director and coach of both football and baseball for varying periods at such universities and colleges as Rochester, Baylor, Southern California, Drake, Lake Forest, Colorado State Teachers College, Colorado School of Mines, Texas Christian, and St. Viator.

From 1930 to 1946 he was a foreman for the Mystic Terminal Co. (B. & M.) at Charlestown, Mass. Retiring in 1946, Ralph moved to California and after 1951 resided at Cambria. He built a pleasant home near the Pacific Ocean, where he followed a happy and active life, gardening, fishing and hunting. His health remained excellent until his 'last illness, and he customarily walked or ran from two to five miles every day.

He is survived by his widow, Winifred; a son, Ralph Jr.; and a daughter, Marian (Mrs. Elmer Hollo way), all of Cambria; also four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The sympathy of the Class goes out to all of them.

1912

ROLAND BENJAMIN AHLSWEDE passed away in La Canada, Calif., on September 10, 1968 after a long illness. The last occasion on record of a diminutive 1912 reunion in that section of the country was two years ago when "Ole, Swede Ekstrom, and Jim Oneal all met at the latter's home when Swede was visiting on the West Coast.

Ole was born in Chicago, Ill., on December 3, 1888. His college preparation was at Wayland Academy, Beaver Dam, Wis. At Dartmouth he was on the class football team sophomore year and on the varsity football squad for three years. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta and of Dragon.

For 33 years following graduation Ole was a manufacturer of porcelain enameled products on sheet steel, being connected with the California Metal Enameling Company of Los Angeles. He lived in Pasadena, Flintridge, and finally retired at La Canada.

Ole had many diversions. His hobby was yachting, but his memberships included the Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena, the Bel Air Club of Los Angeles, the Flintridge Golf Club, the Flintridge Riding Club, and the Live Oaks Tennis Club. He was past secretary of the So. Calif. Assoc.

On September 27, 1913 he married Katharine Wadsworth of Pasadena. She survives him, together with two daughters, one son, John W. '41, three brothers, two sisters, twelve grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted September 12, 1968 in Pasadena.

HARRY MADARA BROWN passed away August 29, 1968 at Flagler Hospital, Saint Augustine, Fla., after a stay of two days for treatment of respiratory trouble.

Chesty was born June 17, 1892 at Philadelphia, within four days of being the youngest member of the Class of 1912. He prepared for college at Mt. Kisco (N. Y.) High School and Sturtevant High School in New York City. We will remember him for winning the Thayer Prize in Mathematics and for receiving honorable mention in Physics. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduated from Thayer School with high honors in 1914.

He was associated briefly with the Southern Railroad, and the Truscan Steel Company. He served as a corporal in the cavalry in the Mexican War and as a Ist Lt. with the 234th Aero Supply in Arcadia, Fla., during World War I. From 1920 to 1928 Chesty was with the Florida East Coast Railroad as special assistant to the president for engineering. In 1931 he went with the Public Works Administration, Washington, D. C., as Chief Engineer until 1941.

During the period of 1941-60 he was one of the two senior partners of the J. E. Greiner Company, consulting engineers of Baltimore, one of the two best known civil engineering firms in the United States. Chesty was responsible for all engineering activities of the company relating to the design, construction and supervision of major highways, toll roads, and bridges.

Chesty was both a golfer and a gardener. In St. Augustine he was active in church activities and was an Episcopal vestryman. He was a member of Merchants Club, Engineers Club, and Dartmouth Club, all of Baltimore, and of the Indianapolis Athletic Club, American Society of Civil Engineers, and Society of Professional Engineers.

On February 17, 1918 he married Undine Virginia Babcock of Washington, D. C. They had one son and one daughter; six grandchildren, one of whom is Dean Brown '67, and one great-grandson. Undine died in 1964 and since then Chesty has lived with his daughter in St. Augustine.

1913

Major GEORGE FRANCIS ARTHUR MULCAHY died October 28, 1968 at South Easton, Mass., his home town. He came from Dorchester, Mass., and was a graduate of Boston English High School. George was a veteran of both World Wars.

He retired in 1945 after release from the Air Force.

He leaves two sons, five daughters, and a brother, Robert C. M. '20 of Watertown, Mass. The Class extends sincere sympathy to the family.

CHARLES SMITH RILEY, of 3 Country Club Drive, South Yarmouth, Mass., died at his home October 19, 1968. Dan Chase very kindly sent me the details of Chuck's death. He was there when Chuck died and he said he went quietly, even happily. He had lived on borrowed time for many years after a series of major operations.

Chuck was born at Lawrence, Mass., April 23, 1892 and prepared for Dartmouth at Lawrence High School. He was a member of the freshman track team and ran the hurdles (both the 120 and 220) for the varsity.

In October 1916 he married Barbara MacMonagle at Haverhill, Mass. They have one daughter, Phyllis, who lives at 344 Nassau St., Princeton, N. J. Chuck spent his entire business life in the insurance field and retired in 1947, after a very successful career, to Cape Cod. Barbara died in 1967.

Dan Chase said that he called on Chuck several times since his return from the 55 th reunion. He enjoyed the visits, seemed well and recovered from his latest operation. Dartmouth and the Class have lost a staunch friend and loyal son. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to his daughter Phyllis.

1915

EARLE ATKINS CARPENTER, retired proprietor of the W. Carpenter Co., paint and wall paper business of Concord, N. H., died October 27, 1968 after a long illness.

"Mose," as he was known to his classmates, was born March 17, 1891 in Concord, N. H. He was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, attended Colby College, and spent one year as a member of the Class of 1915 at Dartmouth where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

He leaves his widow, Myra (Tewksbury) Carpenter, a son, Dr. Thurston J. '45 of Pitts-field, and three grandchildren. Services were conducted by Rev. John W. McKelvey of Wesley United Methodist Church and burial was in Blossom Hill Cemetery.

1916

The many friends of ROBERT WHITE DANA will mourn his passing at Brookline on October 16 after a long siege with cancer.

Born in Canton, Mass., in 1894, and graduated from Canton High School, Bob was with us only through sophomore year, then left for a career in the wool business in Boston. In his early years he was with Crimmins and Pierce. From the time of its formation in 1922 to the time of his death he was associated with Draper and Company, Inc., a large Boston wool dealer of which he was treasurer at the time of his retirement a few years ago. His travels were world-wide while with Draper and he was a former president of the Boston Wool Trade Association.

He is survived by his widow, Margaret (Brown) of Longwood Towers, Brookline; by a son, Ptichard Hardy Dana of Westport, Conn.; two grandchildren, a sister, and a brother. At the services in Bigelow Chapel, Mount Auburn Cemetery, on October 19, the Class was represented by the usual sixteen red roses and by our faithful Parker Hayden.

The thirty-third of our classmates to pass on since our 50th reunion, HAROLD FREDERICK GIBSON, died in an Asheville (N. C.) hospital on October 24 after a brief illness.

With Perc Burnham, Pete Gibson came to Hanover from Erasmus Hall in Brooklyn and became a member of Alpha Delta Phi but was with us there only our freshman year. Thence he went to Princeton, graduating in the Class of 1917. He was a pioneer pilot in World War I, serving successively in the Royal Canadian Air Force, as a flight instructor at Pensacola, and as a lieutenant (j.g.) in our U.S.N.R.F., 1917-19. His career interest was banking from which he retired early as a vice-president of the Hanover Trust Company of New York to live in the Asheville area, latterly at Sugar Hill Farms, Fairview, N. C. Widowed and childless, Pete left only a brother and two nephews.

KENNETH MANNING HENDERSON, former president of Ditto, Inc., prominent in Dartmouth affairs, and a leader in civic causes in both Chicago and his home village of Winnetka, Ill., died on October 14.

Ken was born at Weedsport, N. Y., on June 17, 1893, was graduated from Rochester's East High School, and had his freshman year at the University of Rochester before joining us at Hanover in the autumn of 1913. On campus he was manager of the Musical Clubs and a member of the DCA Cabinet, Casque and Gauntlet, and Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Upon graduation he joined the German American Button Company of Rochester and left on the declaration of war to serve as a second lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps. In 1919 he joined Ditto, Inc. serving first as secretary-vice-president, then as sales manager, finally as president from 1946 to his retirement in 1958. For several years thereafter he volunteered as a lecturer in business administration at Northwestern University, even travelling abroad to develop case studies. Typically, at about this same time, he wrote that nothing was giving him more of a kick, or teaching him more, than working with half a dozen gifted small boys who were bored with their school work.

Chicago civic institutions, his home village of Winnetka, and the College all called on Ken's administrative ability over the years. In Chicago, he was prominent in Junior Achievement, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Duncan YMCA, treasurer and otherwise active in the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago, vicepresident and director of the Community Fund from 1950 to 1960, and a trustee of the Ravinia Festival Association.

Among his services to Winnetka, he was on the Village Council from 1953 and was chairman of its finance committee and village treasurer in 1956 when he was elected to the first of two two-year terms as president. In that capacity he led major expansions in development of an all-over village plan. Long a trustee of the Winnetka Congregational Church, he also took on in "retirement" the combined responsibilities of treasurer and business manager to enlarge its site and buildings.

For Dartmouth, he served as secretary of the Chicago Alumni Association in the early '20s, as a member of the Alumni Council, 1951-54, and its president in 1953-54, as chairman of the 1952 and 1953 Alumni Fund campaigns, and as a member of the Board of Overseers of the Tuck School, 1954-57. In recognition of such contributions he was presented with a Dartmouth Alumni Award in May 1962. Currently he was a member of the Third Century Fund Committee.

Ken was married at Evanston on September 3, 1925 to Marie Blanchard of Evanston. She, after a similar life of service, died barely a month before Ken. Surviving are a son, Kenneth M. Jr. '51, and a daughter, Mrs. Ann Bannard, both of Winnetka; a sister, and five grandchildren. The deep sympathy of the Class goes out to them all.

Quiet, able, friendly JOSEPH DAVID NEWMAEK died at Phillips House of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, on October 4 after an illness of several weeks.

Joe was with us at Hanover only for freshman year but no one topped him in interest or loyalty - witness his pinch-hitting as Head Agent, 1963-1965. Similarly he was dedicated to his family, to his business, and to the Salem community where he was born and made his home all his life. After earning an LL.B. at Boston University Law School, then serving in the Navy 1917-18, he joined his brother Abraham, Class of 1914, as co-owner and operator of Newmark's, a leading women's specialty store in Salem, until he retired and the business was sold in 1965. His lovely home was at 411 Lafayette Street, overlooking the water.

Name a worthy Salem civic or social activity and Joe usually was prominent in it. He was a past president of the local Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce, a trustee of the YMCA and a supporter of Salem Hospital, an organizer and director of the Community Chest, a director of the Red Cross chapter, a past chairman of the Family Welfare Society, and chairman of the American Legion Post Executive Committee. He was an incorporator of the Salem Five Cent Savings Bank and the Salem Savings Bank, and from his election in 1952 served as vice-president and director of the Hawthorne Hotel Corporation. His memberships included the Massachusetts Bar Association, Starr King Lodge AF&AM, Aleppo Shrine, Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, and the North Shore Junior Achievement Committee. An avid swimmer, he was a familiar figure in the Salem YMCA pool and also joined other Salem businessmen in organizing a physical fitness program.

Joe and Selma Stern, of Berlin, N. H., were married in Boston in October 1919. They were helpmates through life, working and traveling together and entertaining old friends and classmates wherever they went. Selma survives him as do his brother Abraham and a sister. Private family prayers were held on October 5. Class roses went to Selma.

Characteristic of Joe were his comments on our recent questionnaire: Under nickname he wrote "Call me Mister"; and under life-line: "Don't be bothered. I've enjoyed the flowers you've all given me while I've lived." Joe will be greatly missed.

The beautiful voice that intoned the Lord's Prayer at so many of our reunion memorial services for others is stilled. For KENNETH DENNY TUCKER, at 76, died suddenly at Boston's Baker Memorial Hospital on September 17.

Heralded on campus as a track star from Newton High, Ken for four years stood out in indoor and outdoor track and also captained the cross-country team as a senior. No one fortunate enough to be at the first ICAAAA Indoor Championships in 1915 will forget his part in the thrilling win of the Green's medley relay team over Yale. He played both freshman and varsity football, had a role in the Prom Show of 1913, and sang in the Glee Club. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, The Arts, and Casque and Gauntlet.

For a half-century after graduation he was a sales representative in leather goods imports, first of the Stanley and Stanley Company, then of the Noymer Company, both of England. He also sang on radio, and in concerts and churches. Notably, he was a soloist in the Old North Church for twenty years, then for twelve years in the All Saints Church in Belmont, where he also served on the vestry, and was past president of the Men's Club and the Music Club. In later years poor health slowed him down but, as at the old Madison Square Garden when he ran with the flu, he finished strong.

Ken and Mary Vickers were married at Richmond Hill in the autumn of 1916, and if 1916 had a life-long romance, theirs was it. Mary carries on at 228 Washington Street, Belmont, Mass., their home for 37 years.

At the memorial service held at Belmont on September 19, the Class was represented by the usual sixteen red roses, and in person by Frank and Helene Bobst, Jim and Ruth Coffin, Lucille Cutler and her two sons, Dick and Violet Ellis, Herb Lord, Arthur Marsden, and Parker Hayden.

1917

WILLIAM FRANCIS DOBBINS died February 17, 1962 in New York City. Bill was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., on May 11. 1894, and prepared for college at Polytechnic Preparatory School. He left Dartmouth in 1915, and later attended Syracuse University from which he received an A.B. degree in 1919.

Bill became a branch manager for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, but little else is known about his business activity. He was survived by his wife Mrs. Jeanne Dobbins, at 9 College Place, Garden City, L. I.

SAMUEL SALINE, who had practiced law in New York City and Scarsdale for 49 years, died September 4, 1968. He was a patient at White Plains Hospital at the time of his death.

Sam was born at Escanaba, Mich., on August 24, 1895, and it was from Escanaba High School that he entered Dartmouth. Leaving in 1916, he entered New York Law School from which he graduated with an LL.B. degree in 1919.

Early in his law career he was with the firm of Geller, Rolston, Blanc & Horan. Later he became general counsel for the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, specializing in estate and trust law.

Sam is survived by his widow, the former Dorothea Carroll, who lives at 888 Scarsdale Road, Scarsdale, N. Y.

1918

RAYMOND CHARLES BALDES, who died in Boston on August 7, 1968, a leading member of the New England bar, a noted teacher of law, and a distinguished scholar in the field Ox his special interests, spent only his freshman year, 1914-15, on the Hanover plain. Dartmouth and 1918 proudly record his constant loyalty to the College and his never-failing warm and friendly interest in the doings of the classmates with whom he had been only briefly associated. From Dartmouth he transferred to M.I.T., where again his stay was of only a year's duration. He next enrolled in Boston University, and there he remained until, in June 1918, he completed his undergraduate work. After that, a year in the U.S. Navy as radio operator on a World War I destroyer, and then in 1919 back to B.U. to study law. He gained his LL.B. magna cum laude in 1920, his LL.M. in 1921, his S.B. in 1923.

His first scholarly publication in the field of law appeared in 1924: Notes on the GeneralLaws of Massachusetts. This was followed in 1929 by his Perry on Trusts and Trustees. In 1936 came Massachusetts Annotations to Restatement of Agency; and in 1941 MassachusettsAnnotations to Restatement of Property. Meanwhile he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1920, and to the Federal bar in 1925. During the period 1928-1945, besides carrying on his own private law practice, he was teaching in the School of Law at Boston University, where he attained appointment as Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Law. He also achieved the professional distinction of election to membership in the American Law Institute. Suffolk University Law School named him Professor of Law in 1945, and at its commencement in 1966 conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence.

Unaccountably delayed is news of GORDON BROWNING LOCKWOOD'S death last May 6, in Muncie, Ind. Gordie, who had been a resident of Stuart, Fla., for many years, was on a business trip to his native state of Indiana. Many of us will remember with fondness how Gordie's small stature was counterbalanced by a strong and self-reliant independence in our undergraduate days. President of the Players in senior year, Gordie will be recalled as the lightfooted jockey in the "Saharah Derby," one of the better Carnival Shows in the 1920's.

In the 1930's Gordie managed the Muncie Evening Press, following the death of his father.

His many close friends in '27 will miss him sorely, and all express their sympathy to Bernice.

HOWARD IRVING RUSSELL died of cancer on September 9, 1968 in the Akron (Ohio) General Hospital. To those of us in the Class who knew him well, "Lil" will always be remembered for his splendid sense of humor, dry wit and unfailing dignity - three qualities which glowed in undiminished brightness from the onset of his long ordeal to the very end.

Although born in Somerville, Mass., he spent his boyhood and high school years in Manchester, N. H. His freshman year was at the University of New Hampshire and then he transferred to Dartmouth in the fall of 1924. In no time, he was churning up and down the Spaulding Pool in the sport he had loved since boyhood. His specialty on the Dartmouth swimming team was the 440. He was a member of Sigma Chi.

After college Lil tried the sales and advertising end of a hometown business firm and then hied himself onto a ship in 1929 to join the '27 trio of Zaro-Stevens-Stone at General Motors Continental S.A., Antwerp, Belgium. Two years later he became an auditor with the Belgian Gulf Oil Company in Antwerp and in 1936 returned to the United States where he found his permanent niche with Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. in Akron. Starting in the auditing and comptroller's office, he progressed through various responsible executive positions in the finance department and at the time of his illness was on the staff of the company's financial vice president. In 1947 his. appointment as Manager, Foreign Subsidiaries-Auditing Department, necessitated long periods of absence from home on the world's highways and by-ways and over the years he became a seasoned world traveler for the company.

According to Lil, the luckiest thing to happen to him after his arrival in Akron in 1936 was to meet Miss Catherine Simmons. They were married November 25, 1937. Their son, Howard Jr., is presently production manager of WSLR Radio, Akron, and daughter Barbara Anne is a senior at Briarcliff. To Cathie, Howard and Barbara, the Class of 1927 extends its sincere sympathy.
