Faculty

NATHANIEL GEORGE BURLEIGH '11, Professor of Industrial Management Emeritus, died April 6 at Dick's House, the College infirmary, after an extended illness. He was 80 years old.

Professor Burleigh retired in 1957 after teaching at the Amos Tuck School for 38 years. During that period he was Acting Dean of the School from September 1951 until Arthur Upgren was appointed Dean on January 1, 1953. Last June, when Tuck School paid tribute to Professor Burleigh's long service, Dean Hennessey said, "Generations of Tuck students knew his hearty, forthright teaching style, his unusual blend of the practical and the scholarly. His wide consulting experience kept him in close touch with the practicing management profession. Even after his 1957 retirement from active teaching, he continued his consulting, plus his longtime contributions to civic affairs."

In 1953 Professor Burleigh was granted leave of absence to become Dean of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Business Management in Turin, Italy. This was the first graduate school of its kind in Europe and was patterned after American business schools at the instigation of the presidents of the Fiat and Olivetti companies.

In 1941 Professor Burleigh took leave to join the Office of Production Management in Washington, and after Pearl Harbor he became Director of the Service Equipment Division of the War Production Board. He continued in this latter post until June 1, 1945 and at its conclusion he was honored by the office equipment industry at a dinner in New York. Professor Burleigh also served as lecturer at the U. S. Command and Staff School in Kansas City, as consultant to the National Security Resources Board in 1948-49, and as consultant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense in the summer of 1955.

Along with his Tuck School duties Professor Burleigh took on many college and civic responsibilities in Hanover. He was graduate manager of non-athletic student organizations at Dartmouth from 1920 to 1939, when a full-time manager was employed. He was a Precinct Commissioner of Hanover for 12 years, nine of them as chairman; a founder and secretary of the Hanover Finance Committee and Zoning Board; a director of the Hanover Water Works; and a member of the Advisory Assessors Board and the Hanover Improvement Society. He was a trustee and treasurer of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital for many years, and also a trustee of the Church of Christ.

With all his educational, government, and civic activities Professor Burleigh was a devoted worker for the College and for the Class of 1911. Among the College's alumni he was one of the most widely known. Until his resignation a few months ago because of ill health he had been 1911's class secretary for 48 consecutive years and its president for 14 years. He was a founder of the Dartmouth Club of New Haven and twice served as vice president of the General Alumni Association. On the occasion of 1911's 50th reunion the Alumni Council honored him with the Dartmouth Alumni Award.

Nat Burleigh, as he was known to everyone, was born in Franklin, N. H., and entered Dartmouth from Phillips Exeter Academy. Graduating with Phi Beta Kappa honors, he attended Tuck School, received an M.C.S. in 1912, and took his first job with the Boston Elevated Railway Co. In 1916 he moved to the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. and was assistant sales manager when he left in 1919 to join the Tuck School faculty. As a full professor he received Dartmouth's honorary A.M. degree in that year. The professional societies of which he became a member were the American Management Society, the Society for the Advancement of Management, and the American Trade Association. His fraternity was Phi Gamma Delta.

Professor Burleigh's first marriage, in April 1914, was to Theodora Tufts, who died in 1948. In July 1950 he married Beatrice Bridges. Survivors are his widow and a daughter by his first marriage, Mrs. John H. Hewitt of Newton Highlands, Mass. A memorial service was held at Hanover's Church of Christ on April 9.

DR. WILLIAM NESBIT CHAMBERS, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at Dartmouth and practicing physician on the staff of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and Hitchcock Clinic, died in Hanover on January 25, 1970 after a prolonged illness.

Son of Dr. Robert Chambers, the eminent microbiologist, Professor Chambers was born May 1, 1914 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was graduated from Amherst in 1936 and received his M.D. degree from Cornell Medical College in 1941. He then served his internship and residency at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City.

Dr. Chambers was a medical officer in the U. S. Army during World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star for his work in France. After military service he joined the medical staff of the Hitchcock Hospital in 1946 and in that same year became a Teaching Fellow in the Dartmouth Medical School. He was named Instructor in 1947, Assistant Professor in 1955, and Associate Clinical Professor in 1969. His teaching and professional practice since 1946 were all in Hanover, except for the year 1949-50 when he was Research Fellow and Instructor in Medicine at the University of Cincinnati.

Dr. Chambers was the author of a great number of studies and papers, among them: "The Spiritual Factor in Medicine" and "Responsibility and Illness," both of which were taken from lectures he gave at Haverford College in 1960. In 1969 he was the first recipient of the Certification of Merit Award to be given by the New Hampshire Rehabilitation Association. The award was given in recognition of "his longtime contribution to the cause of rehabilitation of disabled persons."

Professor Chambers was a member of the Grafton County Medical Society, the American College of Physicians, the American Federation for Clinical Research, the American Psychosomatic Society, the American Society of Internal Medicine, the Friends' Medical Society, the National Rehabilitation Association, the New Hampshire Medical Society, the American Heart Association, and the New Hampshire Council on Social Welfare.

He was on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Council on Alcoholism, vice president of the New Hampshire Heart Association, 1957-59, president of the New Hampshire Heart Association, 1959-61, and a member of the Community Service Committee of that organization from 1965 to the time of his death. He was also Director of the New Hampshire Cardiac Work Evaluation Unit.

Dr. Chambers is survived by his wife, the former Susan Bottomley, and three children: Miss Elizabeth Chambers, Mrs. Stephen Day, and William N. Chambers Jr.

There were no funeral services. A memorial service will be held in Rollins Chapel on May 2.

1905

CHARLES ADAMS BROOKS, retired farmer and grain dealer, died at his home in Hampstead, N. H., on March 16. He was 87.

At the time of his death Charlie was Town Clerk for Hampstead, a post he had held for 44 years. He earlier had served as Selectman, from 1915 to 1926.

A native of Claremont, N. H., Charlie entered Dartmouth from the public schools there and was a choir singer and a member of Phi Gamma Delta. Upon graduation he was employed by William E. Barrett 'BO, owner of the BostonDaily Advertiser and Boston Evening Record, and for most of a ten-year period he was in the advertising departments of those two papers. In 1915 he decided to switch to an entirely different career and bought a 57-acre farm in Hampstead, ten miles north of Haverhill, Mass. As a self-taught farmer he achieved a great deal, operating a dairy farm, a sizable chicken farm, and an apple orchard. He developed a prize herd of Ayrshire cattle. Farmers in a group of towns around Hampstead chose him as their representative in the Eastern States Farmers Cooperative Exchange, in-which capacity he ordered carloads of grain and other farm supplies for distribution to farmers in the area. He was a member of the Rockingham County Farm Bureau and the New Hampshire Town Clerks Association.

Charlie was married October 14, 1911 to Jessie Maddocks of Melrose, Mass., who survives him. He and Jessie brought up three foster children after losing three of their own. Also surviving is a brother, John C. Brooks '10 of Claremont, N. H. Funeral services were held March 19 at the Hampstead Congregational Church.

1914

Unreported earlier but now confirmed is the death of another classmate, NATHAN ALLEN FARWELL of 20 Summer St., Rockland, Me., on December 26, 1969 at age 78.

Nate was born in Rockland, August 7, 1891 and entered Dartmouth from Phillips Exeter Academy. He was a member of KKK fraternity and in his sophomore year a member of the cast of the memorable play, "The Green Parasol," as one of the "Smythe Girls."

After graduation Nate was advertising solicitor for the Rockland Opinion until 1917 when for two years, he served overseas in the ambulance service, earning the Croix de Guerre with two stars.

Still a newspaper man at heart, Nate returned to the U.S. and joined the Pillsbury Flour Mills of Minneapolis. From 1919-27 he was editor of their company publication. Our Golden Book reports he was a self-employed turkey farmer from 1927 until his retirement in 1945. He was not married.

Death came to DEAN ABBOTT EMERSON at Hewitt Memorial Hospital in Shelton, Conn., on March 5, 1970. He was 87.

Dean was not only our classmate but also a graduate of Thayer School in 1915. Two years as an engineer with the Aberthan Construction Co. followed, and in 1914 Dean entered the Army, becoming a lieutenant in a construction squadron engaged in building airfields in England.

On his return to civilian life, he married Helen Robinson in September 1919 and the same year began his career with the Star Pin Co. of Shelton, Conn. At the time of his retirement in 1964 he had served as president of this company for nine years.

His long list of civic activities included 25 years as a member and president of the Board of Apportionment and Taxation in Derby, Conn.; six years as member and secretary of the Town Plan and Zoning Commission in Orange; and ten years as founder and secretary of the Hewitt Memorial Hospital. For many years he was a deacon of the Second Congregational Church of Derby where he founded the Chick Emerson Fund in memory of his son, a paratrooper, killed in action in the invasion of Normandy in 1944.

Our classmate is survived by his widow who lives at 126 Old Hickory Rd., Orange; a son, William H. '42; a daughter Constance; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. His, brother Mark F. '25 also survives.

1916

Our colorful classmate LINUS JOSEPH MURPHY, 74, died of a heart attack on February 22, at his home in Glendale, Calif. Fortuitously Linus accepted an invitation a year or two ago to be reactivated, thus giving the BALMACAANS and his old friends Dan Dinsmoor and Freddy Frederiksen the chance to reciprocate.

Linus was born in Plymouth, Mass., came to Hanover from the local high school, and became a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. After three semesters, during all of which he roomed with Freddy, he was gone - to become co-owner and instructor of a military boarding school for boys in Los Angeles. Came the war, his fascination for flying early brought him a captaincy of aviation in the A.E.F. 1917-19, the Croix de Guerre with two palms, the Legion d'Honneur, and wounds and injuries which kept him for five and a half years in government hospitals until he left - in order to marry his nurse.

Settling in California, he made a career with Shell Oil as an industrial lubrication engineer until retirement in 1957, and long held a pilot's license. His last letters and picture were those of a happy family man, hale and zestful until his number came up.

Linus is survived by his widow Amelia of 835 Cumberland Road, Glendale, and by two married daughters. To them all, the deep sympathy of 1916 is extended.

1917

The Class has just received news of the death in early March, of the prominent and well known industrialist, WILLIAM DOUGLAS FLEMING of 233 Melrose Ave., Corpus Christi, Texas.

"Doug" was born in the Boston area on November 10, 1894. He attended the Tuck School and later Harvard Business School. During World War I, he served in the Navy Supply Corps. In 1920, he was discharged with the rank of lieutenant.

He was married to Ruth Lane of Cambridge, Mass., in Washington in 1917. Doug's business interests commenced in New York where he assumed the position of assistant treasurer of the Shell Eastern Petroleum Producers of New York City. Moving in 1939 to Corpus Christi, he served as vice president and general manager of the Coast Iron & Machine Works and manager of the West Gulf Oil Co. and the Texas Gulf Minerals Company. Beginning in 1955, after his retirement, Douglas spent three years in Mandeville, La., on the staff of Palmer & Baker, an engineering firm which at that time was building the longest vehicular bridge in the world.

He was not only successful in his business ventures but also active in civic affairs. He was a deacon and elder of the First Presbyterian Church and member of the Rotary Club of Somerville, Mass. and of the Blue Lodge in Masonry. At the time of his death he was chairman of the Board of the Salvation Army.

He is survived by his widow Ruth, a daughter, and two grandchildren. An expression of sympathy will be forwarded to the family by the Secretary.

It was only a few weeks ago that your secretary reported on our classmate EMERSON COLE WARD through his wife Vera who had maintained an active interest in our class. It is our sad duty now to report of his passing in Rochester, Minn., on January 25. It did not come as a distinct shock as we were aware that Emerson had been in failing health for about three years.

He was born in Waseca, Minn., on September 26, 1894, a descendant of the founder and first mayor, namely, W. G. Ward. At the time of his death he lived at 804 East Elm St. in that town. Emerson received his elementary education in Waseca and then attended Shattuck Military Academy from which he was graduated in 1913.

Since that time, he had kept close contact with the school and as early as 1930, was named a trustee of the board and served as its secretary for a number of years. In fact, entire service to that institution covered a period of 30 years. He spent the year of 1913-14 at the University of Minnesota transferring to Dartmouth College where he received his B.A. degree in 1917. In college, he became a member of Psi Upsilon and Casque and Gauntlet Society. After graduation and distinguished service in World War I, he returned to Waseca where he entered the banking business. After this business experience, he turned to the formation of the Ward Dry Milk Company. He continued in this capacity until the business was sold to Kraft Corporation.

His local interests consisted of memberships in the Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion Post 228, and the Calvary Episcopal Church. He is survived by his widow, two daughters, and eight grandchildren. Emerson lived a full life and as this report indicates, served long and faithfully in the interest of the community which had been established by his forefathers. Expressions of sympathy have been sent to his widow by members of the Class.

Members of the class have recently reported the death of MOUNT STEPHEN WILLARD, a classmate from whom we had heard little over the past twenty years. He passed away 14 March 1970.

Born in Boston, Bill Willard had been living at 30 East Main St., Georgetown, Mass., for many years as a retired advertising executive. Until his retirement in 1954, he was a member of the corporation and vice president of Reilly, Brown & Willard, Inc., Boston. He was an account executive for Arthur Brown Associates from 1948-1950. He was a veteran of World War I.

Also known as "Monty" and "Steve," Bill was a member of Chi Phi fraternity. Those of our class who remember him in college days will recall that he was one of the pitching stalwarts on our baseball team. In fact, many thought he would eventually play Big League ball.

Bill leaves his widow Charlotte, a son, a daughter, and a stepdaughter. To them all the Class extends its sincere sympathy.

1918

ALBERT HENRY SIBBERNSEN died peacefully in his sleep at his farm home in Bennington, Neb., on March 20, 1970. His passing bereaves our class of an outstanding member, esteemed by all, and by his closer friends held in warm affection.

Born in Columbus, Neb., in 1895, he came to Dartmouth from Omaha following prep school years at Lake Forest Academy. Here Al became a Psi U, and in that junior spring of '17 as we entered World War I he accepted a Dragon bid just before leaving college to enlist in the First Officers Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minn. On 15 August he came out a 2nd lieutenant, shortly thereafter in the Deep South was an aviation trainee, and subsequently at various southern fields a flying instructor. With the rank of Ist lieutenant, instructor aviation, in January 1919 he was discharged from the service and, entering his father's Omaha firm as an investment banker, resumed civilian life. On 27 December 1919 he married Grace Allison, daughter of a prominent Omaha physician. After ten years in the city and the birth of two sons, Albert A. and David C., the Sibbernsens moved to their sizeable farm 25 miles northwest of Omaha in Bennington, Neb., which became their permanent home.

The Sibbernsen farm, which ultimately comprised almost a thousand acres, gained for Al a nation-wide reputation as a conservation pioneer. Indeed, foreign agriculturists visited it to learn and to admire. He practiced contouring, terracing, waterway-making, strip-cropping, and crop rotation. Despite some severe drought years he hung on, practiced every new soil-saving technique he could learn of, and developed several of his own. In just two decades these measures increased the farm's yield 35%, and it now supports livestock in large herds and wide variety.

In the final ten years of his life, while gradually turning over the responsibilities of farm management to his oldest son, Al nevertheless remained active and happy to the end. Not many an Eighteener has lived such a creative life so joyously. On one of his rare visits to New York City he encountered a classmate who later declared, "Meeting up with Al is like getting a big draught of fresh air right off the plains."

He and Grace Allison Sibbernsen only last December celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary. She survives him, as do their two sons, ten grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. To them all, on behalf of 1918 we declare our pride in and affection for Al, and extend our sympathy in his loss.

1919

VERNON HAHN BURKE died on December 5. Vern left college to enter World War I and after the war he finished up at Western Reserve. Nevertheless he had a great affection for Dartmouth.

For over 35 years he was executive general agent for Ohio for the Buffalo Insurance Company. In recent years he has been on the faculty of a large Catholic high school in West Cleveland. In 1966 Notre Dame awarded him a degree of Master of Business Administration.

Vern was a widower and leaves no children.

RONALD LODGE died on February 1 in Albany, N. Y., where he was born and lived all his life. From graduation until 1958 he ran the family business, B. Lodge and Co. At that time he sold his interest and retired. During his life he was active in church and other civic affairs including Rotary. He served, in the Navy in World War I.

Bunny is survived by his widow Winifred and three children. Mrs. Lodge lives at 21 Lenox Ave., Albany.

1920

KENDRICK ELWELL FENDERSON SR. of 926 18th Ave. N. E., St. Petersburg, Fla., died March 20, 1970 at age 72 after an illness of several months. He was born in Rochester, N. H., and had his preparatory schooling at Dover (N. H.) High School and transferred to Dartmouth from New Hampshire State College. He received his law degree at New York Law School in 1923 and started with Hinckley and Hinckley in that same year. In 1925 he moved from Portland, Me., to St. Petersburg where he joined the "firm of Cook and Harris, the city's oldest law firm at that time. In 1939 he joined the Florida Power Corp., handling its legal matters and from which he retired in 1961 as senior vice president. He did, however, retain his position on the board of directors until 1966.

Ken lived in St. Petersburg 45 years and was a member of the Florida Bar, St. Petersburg Yacht Club, Lakewood Country Club, Dragon Club, the Dartmouth Club of St. Petersburg and was a Kappa Sig.

DR. RALPH EMERSON CAMPBELL of 630 Odell St., Madison, Wis., died March 25, 1970 in a Madison hospital after a month's illness. "Soup" was born in Cherry Valley, N. Y., and went to the Ilion (N. Y.) High School. After graduating from Dartmouth he received his medical degree at Northwestern University in 1923. He was married in 1929 in Hartford, Conn., to Helen Wheeler who later died. In 1941 he married the former Mariel M. Greer.

1921

HERMAN "HOY" SCHULTING JR. died on February 18, 1970 after a lingering illness. He was 72 years old. Born in Passaic, N.

After graduation he was associated briefly in New York City with a bond brokerage firm. During three fall seasons he was backfield coach at Lehigh University.

For 25 years he was involved in Republican Party politics in Passaic County as party leader, retiring in 1950 without having known any elective defeat. Later he was with the real estate firm of Cullen-Schulting, but failing health forced him to retire from participation in active business. Summers were spent at Sakonnet, R. I., where he was an active member of the Sakonnet Yacht Club.

He is survived by his widow, the former Helen E. Robertson; also a son Herman W. III '46, a daughter Nancy Ann, and four grandchildren. The sympathy of his friends and classmates is extended to his family in their bereavement.

Ced was a native of West Newton, and he prepared for college at Dean Academy, Franklin, Mass. Dartmouth classmates remember him in high esteem as a thoughtful, friendly companion and as a member of cross country and track teams. He received his LL.B. in 1925 from Harvard. For the next five years he joined a law firm in New York City. Returning to Boston in 1935, he became a partner in Dike, Calver and Gray.

1923

WILLIAM LAWRENCE EAGER died on March 13, 1970 at Merritt Hospital, Oakland, Cal., at the age of 68. He had been in declining health for several weeks and was admitted to the hospital from his residence at the Lakehurst Club in Oakland on March 9 suffering from pneumonia.

Larry entered Dartmouth from Framingham, Mass., High School. A consistently fine scholar he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation he taught for a while at the University of Kansas, spent a year at Harvard Law School and obtained an M.A. at the University of Chicago in 1937. A member of the Tuck School faculty from 1930 to 1941 he entered the Navy at the outbreak of World War II. He served in California and London during the war and was discharged with the rank of lieut. commander.

On June 20, 1936 Larry was married to Beulah Worthley who passed away some years ago. There were no children and as far as Larry knew he had no living blood relatives.

After the war Larry returned to San Francisco and for a period was on the editorial staff of the San Francisco Examiner. Shortly thereafter he joined the Economics Department of the Bank of America and at the time of his retirement in 1967 was that institution's international information officer.

Larry never wavered in his love for the College. Dick Carpenter '10 who is administering Larry's estate puts it well this way: "Larry in truth deserves the accolade 'Loyal Dartmouth Man.' You will know of his dedicated service to class and classmates. I know only of his sincere dedication to the projects of the Northern California Alumni Association and of its members as well. So far as I can recall in my 18 years' residence here Larry could be counted on to grace every social event sponsored by the local alumni. He served that group for at least one term as president. He was truly a gentleman and a scholar."

Larry was buried in the San Francisco National Cemetery beside his wife. John Allen represented the class at the funeral and committal services.

Louis EUGENE GROVER died of cancer on March 16, 1970. In early 1968 he had a serious fall and had been in failing health from then until his death. He was 68 years old.

After graduation from New Bedford, Mass., High School Lou entered Norwich University and transferred to Dartmouth at the beginning of sophomore year. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and on the track squad for three years.

Lou went into banking the year after he graduated from Dartmouth — not because he wanted to be a banker but as a stop gap until he decided what he really wanted to be. However, when he got into the investment department he knew he had found his niche. Highly regarded in his field he left the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company in 1935 and moved to the Citizens Savings Bank where he was executive vice-president and head of their investment department when he retired in 1967.

Past president of the Rhode Island Bankers Association and of the Providence Rotary Club Lou was also a member of the Squantum Club and the Anawam Club. A loyal and devoted Dartmouth man he had planned to spend his retirement years in Hanover but ill health made this impossible.

1924

It was a tragic ending, to find CLIFTON EVANS BLAKE so ill with emphysema that he didn't want to see classmate visitors in a nearby Veterans' Hospital. He died March 5, 1970 "after a long illness." One key opened doors — he asked about poetry at Dartmouth and wanted to read it. Our 40-year-book mentions

CORRECTION: The February report of the death of Ernesto de la Guardia '25T, former President of the Republic of Panama, was in error. Mr. de la Guardia, in writing to the College, said that he had been given "a wonderful opportunity to experience a sense of resurrection, as well as to tell you that being, thank God, very much alive, I remain as interested as ever in news from Dartmouth." this as one of the few facts we knew about him.

In college, Clif was a good student and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. His fraternity was Phi Kappa Psi. His interests were on the Jack-o-Lantern Board and in The Players. A year after graduation he had earned a Master's degree at Harvard and became an instructor at the University of Texas for nine years. The record is very vague between 1935 when he returned to Reading, Vt., and his commissioning as a lieutenant in the Army of the United States in 1943.

And so this life began near Hanover and ended even closer. His grade schooling was in Reading, Vt., but he was born in Lowell, Mass. Secondary schooling was at Kimball Union Academy. After his military hitch he earned a living collecting and dealing in American antiques and there used to be many treasures in the Reading-Windsor area. He did not marry, but is survived by his mother and a brother, in Killington, Vt. There was no public funeral; he had given his body to the Dartmouth Medical School for research purposes.

We are informed of the death of HENRY BERNARD STEELE JR. by his wife, the former Ivy Newman, whom he had married in 1930. The record is brief but very clear as to roots deeply put into a family business. They lived at 456 Barry Ave., Chicago.

He came to Dartmouth from Harvard School, but withdrew in June 1922 after two years. The record fails to indicate undergraduate activities but neither does it reveal much after leaving Dartmouth other than business and community activities. He was born on October 27, 1903 in Chicago where his father had the wholesale grocery business Henry was to continue. Our first record is in 1927 when he was listed as with Steele, Wadeles Co. in Chicago. He became sales manager in 1938 and became president in due course. His wife indicates that he was also president of Uniquip Corporation, manufacturers of custom factory equipment. His community activities included the Fund, Chicago Youth Centers, and Drexel Home for the Aged.

A daughter Phoebe, son Eric '41, and three grandchildren also survive.

WILLIAM WALLACE "SHRIMP" THORNTON was many-sided, and so he will be missed in many places now he has gone. He died February 28, 1970 - another victim of emphysema. He had been ill for five years.

He came from Exeter, was a member of Chi Phi, and found pleasure in The Players while in college. Coming from Youngstown, where his father had been in the real estate business, Shrimp lived there all his life; his father was once mayor and also associated with a laundry business. Leaving college, Shrimp taught for four years (junior high school for one year and English and Latin at Manlius Military Academy). But then in 1931 he was back in Youngstown to stay." He became a partner with Joe Butler III (1937) and in Butler, Wick & Co., brokers (1938). He had married Florence Harrington, daughter of one of Youngstown's lawyers and prominent families in 1934 and lived on the Harrington estate until he sold it in 1952. She survives as do their daughter, Patricia, two sons, John and W. Wallace Jr., and four grandchildren. Mrs, Thornton resides at 909 Ravine Drive, Youngstown.

These are the "dry bones" of a very active career. In addition to his several business ventures and affiliations (also People's Bank, Ohio Realty Co., General Fireproofing Co., and both treasurer and a trustee of the Butler Art Institute), he was a fine golfer, being club champion at the Y.C.C. for several years.

EDWARD CRAMER DODEZ was fatally stricken with a heart attack, February 24, at Houghton Lake, Mich., while' he and his wife June were returning from a skiing trip.

A lifelong resident of Fort Wayne, Ind., where he lived at 6427 Covington Rd., Eddie retired in 1960 when he sold his business, Dodez Dental Mfg. Corp. Having no children, he and June were able to do a considerable amount of traveling. They .were among the regulars who returned to Hanover each fall for our informal reunion.

He was formerly the director of the Allen County Historical Society and recently was in charge of the museum grounds. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Indiana Historical Society, Detroit Marine Historical Society, Marine Historical Society of Mystic, Conn., the Lake Wawasee (Ind.)

Always a staunch supporter of the College (in his own words, "the best thing I ever did was attend Dartmouth College"), he served as chairman of the local enrollment committee.

Our deep sympathy is extended to June on the loss of a devoted huband. The Class mourns the loss of a loyal classmate.

1952

It is with deep regret that I inform you of the death of STEWART SCHACKNE JR. Stew was killed on November 14, 1969, when a car in which he was a passenger went out of control and plunged into a gully along the coast road from Malage to Sotogrande, Spain, where Stew was living while overseeing the building of a house there for himself and his family. His wife Mariana was also injured but is recovering. The funeral and burial were in Spain, for which Stew had developed a deep attachment.

Stew was born May 20, 1930, and prepped at Riverdale Country Day School, New York City. He was a member of the DKE and freshman football squad. After his sophomore year, Stew transferred to Rollins College in Florida where he graduated in 1953. He served two years in the U.S. Marine Corps and held the rank of second lieutenant.

Stewart was married to Mariana Townsend Look, of Lexington, Ky., in the chapel of Rollins College in 1952. He engaged in real estate development, first in Tortola in the British West Indies and most recently along the Costa da Sol in Spain.

Besides his widow, who now lives at 1345 Midland Ave., Bronxville, N. Y., he is survived by a son John R. II, 15, and daughters Mariana T., 14, and Patterson, 5.

He was the son of Stewart Schackne '27, and nephew of John R. Schackne '31. Our sincere condolences to the family.
