Lawyer, banker, animal breeder, and outdoor sportsman, Lee White died sudden- ly at his home in Lebanon, Conn, on July 22, 1970.
William Lee White was born at Stamford, Conn, on August 20, 1888. He prepared for college at Stamford High School. At Dartmouth he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and won departmental honors in English. He was vice president of the Gun Club, and a member of Kappa Sigma. His outstanding student achievement came as one of the founders of the Dartmouth Outing Club. As vice president and then president Lee was a leader in organizing this group. Due to his energetic interest, the year following his graduation saw the erection of the first D.O.C. cabin on Moose Mountain, followed by a second cabin on Cube Mountain.
Lee graduated from New York Law School in 1915 and one year later became associated with the Bankers Commercial Corp., serving as president from 1948 to 1960. From 1930 to 1960 he was also with the American Piano Corporation and its successor in 1957, the Aeolian American Corporation of which he was chairman of the board.
Lee White was a well-known sportsman. He became a breeder of English setters for field and hunting purposes. As past president of the Amateur Field Trial Club of America, director of the New York State Bird Association, chairman of the Grand National Grouse Association, and life delegate to the Association of New England Field Trial Clubs, he was elected in 1959 to the Field Trial Hall of Fame.
From childhood Lee was an ardent horseman. He owned and campaigned several trotters, driving them himself when possible, in the New York and New England Fair Circuit during the 1930’s and early 1940’5. Intensively interested in conservation, he was for many years a member of the Advisory Council of the Connecticut Board of Fisheries and Game.
Two years ago the Whites moved from their home in Darien, Conn., to Lebanon, Conn. Lee represented the Class of 1912 at the celebration of Dartmouth’s bicentennial in Lebanon where Eleazar Wheelock’s first Indian Charity School was established.

Lee and Alma were present at 1912’s 58th reunion one month before his death. He was respected by those who knew him and loved by his intimate friends.
1913
Howard Thompson Ball, of 86 Summer St., Claremont, N. H., died May 26, 1970 at a local hospital. “Howie” was born in Claremont, N. H., and received his degree of A.B. with the class in 1913. March 18, 1916 he married Alta B. Kimball who died. In 1949 he married Luella Wilson Vaile, a Doctor of Music, in New York.
Howie was very active in athletics while in college and was captain of the cross- country team his senior year. During World War I he served as a first lieutenant with the U. S. Army, and was in charge of security of President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson upon their return from France at the time of the formation of the League of Nations.
Howie was active in the formation of the Young Men’s Christian Association in Clare- mont and Keene and served as secretary at the YMCA in Manchester for several years. He then returned to Claremont where he engaged in business with Rand Ball and King Cos., hardware and coal dealers, becoming president and treasurer before retiring in 1967. He was an active member of many organizations and a former member of the Claremont Barber Shop Quartet as well as the national organization.
Surviving are his widow; a son, Dana K., a daughter, Mrs. Richard A. Herbert, a grandson, and a stepson.
Grenville White Kimball, treasurer of the Richard D. Kimball Cos., consulting engineers of Boston, died August 2, 1970 at Massachusetts General Hospital after a 5- month illness.
Kim was born in Beachmont, Mass., and received his early education in the Medford schools. At Dartmouth he was a member of the Music Club and Phi Sigma Kappa. In World War I he was commissioned First Lt., First Division, Fifth Field Artillery, and saw action in France. Back in civilian life, he joined the Richard D. Kimball Cos., a firm founded in 1897 by his father, a pioneer in mechanical engineering and inventor of the underground steam conduit, whose first major project was the original Dartmouth College Central Heating Plant.
During Kim’s many years in business he designed and supervised the mechanical engineering for hospitals, schools, private and public buildings in New England and New York where he was a Registered Professional Engineer.

Kimball ’46 is the present Assistant Dean, Tuck School, Hanover, where he resides with his wife Jacqueline and their four daughters. In September 1961 Kim married Helen A. Sullivan of Winthrop, Mass., who survives him at their home 60 Phillips Road, Lynnfield, Mass.
1914
In his introduction to the Class of 1914 Golden Book, which he edited, Ellsworth Brewer Buck wrote: “It is in the nature of things that nearly half of us have gone, many of our most companionable and bril- liant.” This was written in 1964. As of now, more than half of us have gone, and Ellsworth must now be included in the growing majority. He died on August 14 in Crivitz, Wis.
Certainly he was one of our most companionable and brilliant classmates, as well as one of the most distinguished Dartmouth men of our generation. An outstandingly successful businessman, lie lived an active and productive life of service to others—his class, his college, his city, his nation.
He was 1914’s class agent and president. He held several offices in the Alumni Council, such as membership on the Alumni Fund Committee, the Bequests Committee, and the Capital Gifts Steering Committee. The Buck Lounge in Hopkins Center was the gift of Ellsworth and his gracious wife Constance as a memorial to their only son, whom they lost during World War 11.
His services to his community included directorships in many organizations such as the American Museum of Natural History, the Staten Island Hospital, the Community Chest, and the Staten Island Zoological Society. He was a member of the New York Board of Education for ten years, and its president from 1942 to 1944,
His services to his country began with duty in the Navy during World War I. In 1944 to 1948, while serving in the House of Representatives he was a member of the committee which wrote the Taft-Hartley Law. It was during his time in Congress that he was shot and dangerously wounded by an unbalanced seaman. He held important posts in the Foreign Operations Administration in 1954 and in 1955 went to Geneva as political adviser to the U. S. Delegation to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. He was chairman of the Republi- can Committee of Richmond County in 1952 and the same year was a delegate to the Republican National Convention.
Ellsworth’s services to Dartmouth were recognized by an honorary M.A. degree, the Reynolds Trophy and the Alumni Award. He was also honored by Wagner College with the honorary LL. D.
This abbreviated record of the accom- plishments of our classmate would be incomplete without mention of his endearing personality, his happy family life, his enthusiasms, his humor, his loyalty to old friends and, withal, his genuine modesty.
Another good man and good friend has left us, but we can say, with Plautus; “Bonis quod bene fit baud perit”—what has been done for the good does not perish.
To his widow and family go our affectionate sympathy in their, and our, loss. Mrs. Buck lives at 245 Benedict Rd., Dongan Hills, Staten Island.
L.K.L.
1916
Charles Leslie Campbell died at Schoharie County (N. Y.) Hospital on June 4, after years of failing health. But Les, as we knew him, always made the best of whatever life offered.
Les came from the old countryside around the Albany-Troy area, so we knew him in terms of comfortable old dorms like Crosby and Hubbard, fireplaces, and singing which he did in both Glee Club and Choir. When the Cosmos Club was formed in 1915 and took over the big old house down South Main Street, he was president of that, which later became a chapter of ATO. It was typical of Les’ modesty that only now, over fifty years later, we learn of his pride in the Silver Star he earned for conspicuous bravery as a sergeant in the 30th Infantry, Third Regular (Marine) Division, 1917-18.
After a few years with the Texas Company in New York and with the American Red Cross in Washington, he returned to the Albany area to enter the New York State Civil Service. He started as an examiner in 1924; when he retired in 1952, he had for nine years been its administrative director. As long as he was able to live on the land, he gardened.
Les and Ethel Preston of New York were married at Peekskill in August, 1917. She survives him at 8 Jay Ridge Apartments, Cobleskill, N. Y. So do two daughters who, happily for all, lived nearby. To the whole family the sympathy of 1916 is extended.
1917
Bradley Nelson Davis passed away in Omaha, Neb., on May 5, 1970. Brad, as he was known to members of our class, was born in Newport, Vt., where he attended high school. He graduated with the Class of 1917 and there followed service in World War overseas from August 1917 to June 1919. Bradley served in the Ordinance Department and was discharged in May 1919 with the rank of Second Lieutenant.
After brief employment with the Winches- ter Repeating Arms Company, his interests centered in education. He subsequently joined the faculty of the State University of lowa where he taught Industrial Manage- ment, Marketing, and Scientific Manage- ment. He also served as Dean of the School of Commerce in that University.
Bradley kept close ties with Dartmouth and in 1946 taught at the Tuck School from which he had earned a Master’s degree in 1920.
He is survived by his widow Gladys (Fairbanks) Davis of 3514-94 th St. South, Omaha; a son. Dr. Richard B. of Omaha, a brother Donald ’lB of Greenfield, N. H., and by three grandchildren.
Our classmate Isaac Sprague Jr. passed away in Boston, June 29 after a brief illness. In his undergraduate days Ike was aided by our good Doc Bowler in physical improve- ment. He obtained his A.B. degree in 1917. As a major in English, and as a student of languages, he continued his studies after graduation at Harvard Graduate School of English. While a resident of Wellesley Hills, Ike served as a member of the school board. In recent years, he was Athenaeum Librari- an in Boston.
He leaves a son, Bertrand C. of Spring- field, Vt, and three daughters, Mrs. Lewis Koenigsberg of Oswego, N. Y., Mrs. Stanley Putnam of East Woodstock, Ct„ and Miss Mary L. Sprague of Rochester, N. Y.
Memorial services were held at the Kings Chapel, Boston, of which he was a member.
Sadly we report the passing of a devoted member of our class, Everett Edwin Robie on August 6 in Bridgeport, Conn., following a long illness. Ev had been injured severely in an automobile accident and never recovered from the effects of it.
Ev served long and faithfully in many schools in both Massachusetts and Connecti- cut. His interest in youth was evidenced by his direction of several summer boys camps. As we well remember, he was an ardent musician skilled in many instruments and a director of choruses and church choirs.
Following his graduation from Dartmouth in 1917, he did graduate work at Boston University, Columbia University, Columbia Teacher’s College, and New York Univer- sity, where he received his master’s degree in education.
He was a veteran of the Army in World War I. As one of our most enthusiastic choristers and supporters of our interest in reunions, Ev will be greatly missed.
Funeral services were held August 8 at the Union Memorial Church in Glenbrook. He is survived by a son Dr. Richard A. ’5O of Silver Spring, Md., a daughter Marcia L., a brother, a sister, and one grandchild.
1918
Horton Lloyd Chandler, after a long illness died at age 72 on July 6, 1970. He was a lifelong resident of Concord, N.H. At the time of his retirement he was vice president of New England Gas and Electric Association.

In 1940 he was inducted into federal service and during World War II served in the South Pacific from 1941 to 1946, returning as a colonel. He was awarded the Legion of Merit with Oak Leaf Clusters for “exceptional meritous conduct” in the Dutch East Indies. He maintained a life interest in military affairs, being named vice president of the Officers of the 197 th Coast Artillery Regiment in 1962. While in college Horton was very active in the management of the Sigma Chi fraternity and musical clubs. He was also a graduate of Harvard Law School.
He became the first 1918 Head Class Agent on the Alumni Fund, serving from 1918 through 1921. Again he served on the Class Agents team from 1961 to 1967. He also took an active leadership in class reunions, having to resign, because of health, the chairmanship of our 50th Reunion.
Members of the family include his widow, Elizabeth (Snow) Chandler; a son Harvey H. ’49, a'daughter, Rosemary, a brother, a sister, and four grandchildren. Services were held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of which Horton was a vestryman.
Kenneth Walker Jones died suddenly on June 13, 1970 on a sidewalk in Boston enroute to his grandnephew’s graduation at Wentworth Institute.
Ken graduated from Melrose High School and after a year at Chauncey Hall entered Dartmouth. While in college he became the circulation manager of the Jack o’Lantern. In 1919 he accepted a three-year duty in Japan with Standard Oil of New York. Next he joined the Boston Electrical Cos. and on his retirement at age 65 was credit manager. For the next ten years he was the financial officer of the Melrose First Congregational Church. He was a member of the Boston Dartmouth Club and served seven years on the 1918 Class Agents Fund team.

Edward Payson Shaw 3rd, of 138 Country Lane, Westwood, Mass., died on June 13, 1970 after a long illness.
On the death of his father, Ed transferred to Boston University Law School from which he received his degree. Although at Dartmouth less than a year he showed his love for the College by annually contribut- ing to the Alumni Fund.
Before moving to Westwood 16 years ago, he resided in Quincy, Mass., where he was commodore of the Wollaston Yacht Club and the first president of the Quincy Bay Race Week. Active also in veteran’s affairs, he served as judge advocate of the American Legion and Veteran’s of Foreign Wars.

When he retired in 1968 he was vice president and attorney for the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
Survivors include his widow. Pearl H.; two sons, Horton R. and Stuart D.; and a brother Frank.
Although Ed was not too active in class affairs, he certainly gave his talents to his country, community, and college, in the true Dartmouth spirit.
1919
The Class lost, through the death of Charles Greif Raible on June 24, one of its most loyal and generous members. Our Class get-togethers will never be the same without him,
At the very outset of World War I, he was determined to get into the Navy and to be a part of the action. His career was an extremely active one and he wound up with the Croix de Guerre and the Silver Star. After the war he returned to Dartmouth, and following graduation, he entered a long and illustrious career in the business world. He was president and chairman of the board of the Fanner Mfg. Cos. of Cleveland for many years, and was very active in numerous other business enterprises.
His business career was interrupted by World War II in which, back in the Navy, he saw much action as commander of a ship on the Atlantic run. He also participated in the D-day Invasion and was deputy naval officer in charge of Utah Beach.
In late years Greif had lived in Lexington, Ky., where he busied himself with the breeding and racing of thoroughbred horses. Some years ago he set up a scholarship fund with the College, and when in Hanover he was always interested in looking up and getting to know the recipients of these funds.
He is survived by his widow Kay, two daughters, and two sons. Mrs. Raible lives on Pebblebrook Farm, Route 3 in Lexington, Ky.
Henry Blake Vinkemulder died in his native city of Grand Rapids, Mich., on June 7. He was active in a family enterprise, Vinkemulder Enterprises, up to the time of his death.

He chose real estate as his field of economic activity, conducting business in both Duluth and St. Paul. He never married and during the last 25 years of his life he resided at the St. Paul Athletic Club.
During World War II he served with the Seabees in Okinawa. After his overseas duty he returned to St. Paul which he found more than ever attractive to him. He was a member of the First Christian Church of St. Paul and was known to give generously to a number of charities in which he had an interest. He is said to have been one who possessed a quiet sense of humor which he shared with a small group of acquaintances at his club. He is survived by two first cousins.

He served in Naval Aviation in World War I; returned to graduate; and joined the Guaranty Trust Cos. of New York after obtaining his degree. He left banking to become a stock broker, serving with several well-known brokerage houses until he joined the Martin Hotel Corporation in his native city. For many years he served this corporation as secretary-treasurer until May 1969 when he became its executive vice- president.
In Rochester he was a member of the vestry of the Calvin Episcopal Church, past president of the University Club, past president of the Rochester Hotel Association, member of the Olmsted County Historical Association, Isaac Walton League and Rotary, and patron and supporter of the Rochester Art Center. With his wife, Frances, Arthur contributed much to his community.
He greatly enjoyed outdoor life. He was an expert on the topography of Minnesota, especially its rivers and streams which he knew so well as a hunter and a fisherman. Among his hobbies, also, was the cultivation of hybrid tea roses. He won many prizes at flower shows.
The Class extends to Arthur’s family its deep sympathy. His classmates share their great loss.

Ever since his graduation from Dartmouth 42 years ago, he has expressed his love for the College in ways too numerous to count. As a person, I mourn the passing of a true friend and invaluable counsellor.

1949
All of us will be sad and dismayed to learn of the sudden death of our classmate, Harold Herbert Sawyer, in Orinda, Calif. Tom, as he was known by his many friends, will always be remembered for his warm smile, the twinkle in his eye, and his down east accent.
Tom enjoyed a most interesting career following graduation from Dartmouth. After two years of graduate school he entered the lumber business as a private entrepreneur. Five years later he opted for big business and joined Chas. Pfizer Cos., a mammoth in the pharmaceutical industry. Perhaps it was here that he developed an affinity for the medical profession. Taking a brave plunge at the age of 34 he commenced medical school at Indiana University and was graduated with honors. After a stint of practice in the Hoozier State in Richmond, Ind., Tom followed the call of the west, moving his practice to the small but lovely town of Moraga, in the green and gold hills of Northern California where he lived at 342 Park St.
We all join Tom’s widow, Priscilla, and his children, Sandra, Melinda, Sara, Reed, and Stuart, in their grief. We will always remember Tom Sawyer as we knew him in Hanover.
