FRANCIS ELLSWORTH MERRILL '26, Professorof Sociology Emeritus, died suddenly in Nice,France, on November 22. Having retired thispast June, he was in France as visiting professor at the University of Nice, teaching coursesin both sociology and cultural aspects of American literature.

Professor Merrill's two-year appointment tothe Faculte des Lettres et Sciences Humainesof the University of Nice, which began in thefall of 1968, made him one of the few non-French scholars holding a faculty position inthe French national university system. Fluent inFrench and a frequent visitor to that country,which he greatly admired, he had made a studyof the French family in 1955 under a grantfrom the Social Science Research Council andhad taught at the University of Rennes and theUniversity of Aix-en-Provence as a FulbrightFellow in 1959-60. A second Fulbright Fellowship in 1966-67 enabled him to serve as lecturerat the University of Nice.

As a sociologist, Professor Merrill was an authority on social problems and on the family, and was one of the most prolific authors on the Dartmouth faculty. Two of his best-known hooks, Culture and Society and Social Disorganization, have gone through numerous editions and are standard texts in college courses throughout the country. He was the author alsoof The Family in American Culture (1947, withProf. Andrew G. Truxal), Social Problems onthe Home Front (1948), Courtship and Marriage (1949), and Social Problems (1950), and in addition he was the editor or contributing author to several other books in sociology. At the time of his death he was working on a book on the sociology of art.

Professor Merrill was born in Fort Dodge, lowa, on May 21, 1904. As a Dartmouth undergraduate he was a Phi Beta Kappa student, a member of Green Key, Sphinx, and Alpha Delta Phi, and was graduated as valedictorian of the Class of 1926. He was with Harcourt, Brace and Co., publishers, the first two years after graduation and then was in investment banking for a period before becoming Instructor in Sociology at the University of Kansas in 1931. The next year he began a three-year term as Assistant Professor of Sociology at Roosevelt University in Chicago, and during that period he earned his A.M. degree at the University of Chicago in 1934. In 1937, after returning to Dartmouth, he also received his Ph.D. degree from Chicago.

Professor Merrill joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1935 as Instructor in Sociology. He became an assistant professor in 1938 and a fullprofessor in 1946. During World War II hespent two years in Washington with the WarProduction Board, the Department of Justice,and the Board of Economic Warfare.

Professor Merrill was a member of theAmerican Sociological Society and the National Council on Family Relations. He was a former associate editor of the American Sociological Review and also of Social Problems. Known as "Red" to classmates and a large circle of Dartmouth friends, he added to his scholarly work an intense interest in Dartmouth teams and for several years he served as sports editor of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Professor Merrill was married March 30, 1934 to Emily Wellington Archibald, who survives him and is continuing to live at the Residence St. Jean, 06 St. Jean Cap Ferrat, Nice, France. Burial was in Nice.

The Class of 1926, of which Professor Merrill was a prominent member, paid him this tribute: "For his classmates of 1926, the passing of Red Merrill is a very real and heartfelt loss. He was a unique person. Red was the outstanding scholar of the Class, the only Rufus Choate Scholar of the Class for the entire four years in college, one of the few junior class members of Phi Beta Kappa, and was graduated with Valedictory rank; yet he was a fine athlete and a member of the varsity track team from sophomore through senior years. His warm and outgoing personality endeared him to all of the Dartmouth community as an undergraduate. With his many accomplishments and honors, he was still a man of great sensitivity and with a sincere dedication to humanity. The College and the Class of 1926 have lost a fine gentleman, a loyal and devoted friend and an outstanding scholar."

1926

With the February 12th passing of TREVOR GORDON BOYCE, in Dayton, Texas, '26 lost one of its "most unforgettable characters." In dignified later years, perhaps, he became "Trevor Gordon"... but to all of us who knew him in Hanover and environs he'll always be just "Red"... fun-lovin'est of the many "fun-loving rovers" who made the '20's roar. Including the roars for Boyce & Marsans, when that song-and-dance duo brought down the house at every performance of the Dartmouth Players. Angular "Red" and rotund "Tiny"... what aTV twosome they'd have made today!

Red's difficulty at Hanover was that there just weren't enough hours in the day. Probation knocked him out of freshman basketball, a sport in which he'd been All-State center at Buffalo's Hutchinson High. That same "olddebil grades" cut his Dartmouth years to two.

Fragmentary news of the years that followed: chemistry and mineralogy courses at U. of Buffalo and U.C.L.A. Marriage into the gubernatorial family of West Virginia. Jobs in the field of corrosion engineering. South Pacific wartime service in the Merchant Marine. "At Guadalcanal, a 'Dear John' letter turned my hair white, overnight." In 1946, a happy marriage to Bertha Sheppard, of San Antonio. In 1947, the start of his own corrosion engineering company, Trevor Boyce Associates, Inc. And business success.

Back once more to our Hanover days... Red Boyce always had his full share of fun. Maybe too much. But he also gave a huge chunk of fun to others ... and always in a kindly way. It's nice to think that perhaps a reunited Boyce & Marsans are doing just that, today!

The Class of 1926 has lost one of its most creative and brilliant minds with the death of REGINALD EVERETT THOMPSON at Glencoe, Ill., on October 6, 1969.

Tommy was born at Hartford, Conn., on August 29, 1904. He entered Dartmouth as an honor student from Loomis Academy. While in college he was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Old customers of the Dartmouth Co-op will remember Tommy's smiling face behind the counter there with John Piane. He also wrote the Co-op advertising. That was the beginning of a long and illustrious career in the field of advertising.

After graduating from Dartmouth magna cum laude, Tommy joined J. Walter Thompson in New York briefly before going to William & Saylor. Two years later, in 1935, he switched to McCann-Erickson where he spent 26 years. He retired from Interpublic (McCann-Erickson) as vice president and associate creative director in May 1961, and a few months later joined Leo Burnett Co. in Chicago as vice president, director, chairman of the Creative Review Committee, and assistant to the chairman of the executive committee. While in Chicago, he was a member of the Skokie Country Club and the Mid America Club.

On August 31, 1929, Tommy and Caroline Cushman of Simmons College were married in Auburn, Me. They have two children, Susan Peables and Douglas Cushman and four grandchildren, all of whom survive him.

The Class of 1926 extends sincerest sympathy to Caroline and her family in a great loss we all share.

On October 29, 1969 30 kilometers east of Soc Tran, South Vietnam, Navy Lt. STEPHEN SHERWOOD MACVEAN was shot and killed by enemy fire while taking part in a board and search operation. Steve is the second '65 to give his life in the war in Southeast Asia.

At Dartmouth he was active in many areas. He was a member of the Naval ROTC unit, a brother and vice-president of DKE, and an Interdormitory Council member. His major was engineering science; he received his B.A. in 1965, his B.E. in 1966, and spent the following year and one-half working toward his master's at Thayer School. At the time of his death he had completed all of the requirements for his M.E. save his thesis. As an undergraduate Steve was the recipient of several academic citations as well as the Reed Descriptive Geography Prize.

He was commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Navy in June 1966 and after a leave of absence to continue his engineering studies was assigned in March 1968 to serve aboard the "USS Nicholas" in the Pacific.

Steve is survived by his mother, Mrs. Homer MacVean of Forked River, N. J.; a brother, Lt. Commander Charles R. '59; and two nieces and a nephew. All of them have the sincerest sympathies of Steve's classmates and Dartmouth friends.

Donations in Steve's memory may be made to Dartmouth College.
