HERBERT MORRIL ANDREWS passed away on December 18, 1968. He was born in Chelsea, Mass., and joined our class in the fall of 1900 along with Squid Lampee and Delbert Jackson, who came also from Chelsea. In 1890 his family had moved to Newton, Mass., where Bert was educated in the Newton schools, being captain of the high school football team and the ice hockey team.

During the spring of 1901 his hearing suddenly began to fail and the difficulty experienced in hearing in the lecture rooms and in the classrooms drove him to transferring to Stanford University, where it was hoped the milder weather would prove beneficial for his health. His trouble continued there, however, and he left college in the spring and worked on the orange ranches until returning to Boston.

Bert came from a Dartmouth family. His father was David H. Andrews, Class of 1869, and his brothers were John G. '01 and Walter '07. John G. Jr., a nephew, was graduated in 1927.

On returning to Boston after a year in California, Bert entered the employ of the Boston Bridge Works, a very successful enterprise that had been established by his father, and became superintendent of the fabrication shop. The company built heavy railroad and highway bridges, frames for structures, and fabricated ships and various other types of similar structures. For Dartmouth, the company fabricated the structural work for the gymnasium, the grandstand on Alumni Oval, the ski jump, and a number of dormitories.

In 1906 Bert married Mabel Bartlett Gray of West Newton, Mass., who passed away in 1964. They had two daughters, Eloise and Kathleen. Bert lived with Kathleen for many years in South Brooksville, Maine. Other survivors are: a grandson and three great-granddaughters. The Class of 1904 extends deep sympathy to the surviving members of Bert's family.

Before joining the Miami faculty in 1929 Bob taught briefly at Northwestern University and Radcliffe. His fields of specialization included American literature, particularly New England writers; literary criticism; and seventeenth-century English literature. He was especially interested in Emerson, Whitman, and Sherwood Anderson. At Miami he soon achieved leadership in his department and had much to do with formulating policy. And, not surprisingly, he gained the affection of his students to an unusual degree. A student later wrote of his reading to his class from Thomas Wolfe: "He knew and loved the material so well, and interpreted it with such warmth and understanding that this reading equalled any theatrical performance in its spell-binding quality, and when the bell rang the class rose and left in silence, so moved were they by the combined talents of Wolfe and Almy."

With other members of Miami's English faculty he was co-editor of two volumes of readings: Approach to America (1942) and Selection: A Reader for College Writing (1955). Articles on Sherwood Anderson were published by Saturday Review and by the Ohio Historical Society.

Bob is survived by his wife Eleanor Bly Almy, two daughters, a sister, a brother, and eight grandchildren. Miami University has established a Robert F. Almy Memorial Fund to which his friends may contribute.
