BURTON CARR MILLER died April 22, 1970 at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital at Baton Rouge, La. Death came following his collapse while in a bank. Burial was in Magnolia Cemetery, Baton Rouge.

Burt was born March 27, 1887 in Albany, N. Y. He prepared for college at Albany High School. During undergraduate days Burt ran on the sophomore relay team and in senior year was a member of one of the college relay teams. He studied at Albany Medical College for a short time and then joined his father in the retail jewelry business.

At the outbreak of trouble on the Mexican border, prior to World War I, Burt was called to service as a member of Troop B of Albany. While in the service he suffered injury from a horse and that trouble followed him the rest of his life. He moved to Baton Rouge to be near a Veterans' Hospital. He underwent over twenty surgical operations and always came up smiling. He was engaged in the retail jewelry business in Baton Rouge.

1912

RICHARD REMSEN, remembered for his friendly smile and cordial handshake, passed away on April 28, 1970 at Nassau Hospital, Mineola, N.Y. He was a solid citizen, a philanthropist, a lawyer of distinction, a loyal member of the Class of 1912, and a great lover of Dartmouth.

Dick Remsen was born at Morris Park, L.I ., N.Y., on June 22, 1889. His preparation for college was carried out at Jamaica (N.Y.) High School and Poly-Tech Preparatory School in Brooklyn, N.Y.

At Dartmouth Dick played on the Class football team and was on the varsity football squad. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Dragon. In 1917 he graduated from Columbia Law School where he was a member of the Honorary Society.

He received a commission as first lieutenant, Field Artillery, on November 26, 1917 and saw action in the Metz sector the following October. He was discharged as a captain on March 13, 1919.

Back in the States Dick started the practice of law with the firm of Wayland and Bernard in 1919 and became a partner in 1932. At the time of his retirement in 1968, he was the senior partner in the Manhattan law firm of Remsen, Millham, Bowdish & Spellman.

Dick Remsen's life was a full one, devoted to civic interests and most of all to work for Dartmouth. He was a life-time trustee of the Choate School at Wallingford, Conn., which his three boys attended. From 1925 to 1929, he served as 1912's Class Agent, and from 1930 to 1936 he was a member of the Alumni Council. At his 50th reunion he received an Alumni Award. For many years until his death he served as vice president of the Class of 1912.

Dick was a member of the Nassau County Bar Association, the New York County Law Association, and the New York State Bar Association. His club memberships were many in New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. He was a Mason, a member of the Holland Society of New York, and from 1932 to 1941 a member of the vestry of the Episcopal Cathedral of Incarnation.

Funeral services were held on April 30, 1970 in the Cathedral of Incarnation. Mrs. Remsen lives at 64-2 nd St., Garden City, N. Y. 11530.

Dick Remsen was a constant supporter of everything Dartmouth. His loyalty to the College and to his Class never flagged.

1915

ROBERT CUTTING BGELOW, salesman for O'd Dominion Candy Company of Salem, Va., and a resident of 42 Devens St, Marlboro, Mass. died suddenly May 20, 1970 of a heart attack. He had been to Springfield in the afternoon and was discussing the upcoming 1915 Reunion in Hanover when the attack occurred.

Bob was born March 6, 1893 in Marlboro where he attended high school and graduated from Dartmouth with a B.S. degree in 1915.

While in college, he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Dragon senior society. A Mason, he was an ardent follower of Dartmouth sports events and saw service in World War I in the Ordnance Department of the Army.

His first wife, Anna, died in 1963. He was remarried on June 20, 1966 to Mary D. Shenda, who survives him.

Services were held May 23 in the Congregational Church in Marlboro, attended by '15ers Dale Barker and Sid Bull. An In Memoriam plant was sent to the widow by the Class of 1915.

WALTER JOSEPH KENNEDY of 23 Lee Ave., Bronx, N.Y., former teacher of Romance Languages and a member of the Board of Education of New York City, where he had taught in the school system for 47 years, died May 14, 1970 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in the Bronx after a two-year illness. He had been retired for eight years.

1916

CHARLES SUMNER CRESSY was a frequent user of the telephone to keep in touch with his classmates. The marvelous thing about those calls was that they were always cheery, whether from a bed in Roosevelt Hospital or from his home. You never could tell - and many times in recent years they came from the hospital. He passed from this vale of tears and suffering on April 9, 1970.

Charley came to us from a succession of good schools: Salem High, Phillips Andover, and Worcester Academy. After graduation he early showed the rugged independence which was his mark. While the rest of us were hunt- ing jobs, Charley had the fortitude to organize his own company, Sturtevant-Cressy, to market a fuel conservation device, a successful busi- ness to which he devoted his energies until retirement came.

Charley never complained, rather made light of the physical problems which were closing in on him. We shall miss those telephone calls and the always ready flow of stories, most of them having a Rabelasian flavor.

Charley is survived by his widow, living at 126 West 74th Street, New York City, and by a son and daughter both living in New York, also by a brother.

H. B. L.

CHARLES HUBBARD DUDLEY, 77, of 109 Norfolk Ave., Swampscott, Mass., died of heart failure in a Salem, Mass., hospital on April 23. He had not enjoyed good health in recent years, but as Bill Caldwell wrote, his sense of humor enabled him to look on the bright side even when he plainly was not feeling well. So it was also at Hanover; he was quiet and all business, a student of Rufus Choate rank majoring in German and the sciences. Yet his intimates in Sigma Phi Epsilon and the Outing Club remember him mainly for his wit and as the one who regularly slipped back and had hot supper ready at camp for the stragglers.

Chuck was born and raised in Concord, N.H. He served as a lieutenant 1917-19 in the Army Sanitary Corps, then worked and made his home in the Beverly-Swampscott-Lynn area for the rest of his life. For two years he was with the United Shoe Machinery Corporation at Beverly; thereafter, with a subsidiary, the Krippendorf Kalculator Company of Lynn until he retired in 1954. On the community side, he was a Mason, a vestryman in his church, and active in the Brotherhood Council and the American Legion.

Charles Dudley was married on October 7, 1924 to Idah Dierauer of Bradford. She survives him, as do a son John M. of Waterville, Me., and a brother, Dr. Thomas M. Dudley '20 of Concord. To all the family, the sincere sympathy of 1916 is extended.

The popular WILLIAM HAROLD MCKENZIE, our estimable Class President 1950-56 and "Mr. Goodyear," passed away suddenly in the General Hospital at Akron on May 19. He went in for a minor throat operation which was successful, but old ulcers flared up and even emergency measures couldn't help.

One of our youngest, Bill was born in Roslindale, Mass., February 27, 1896 and came from Milford, N. H., High to Hanover, where he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. He served in World War I as a first lieutenant of infantry. Upon graduation, Bill, Art Barak, Kike Davis, and Cap Palmer all had gone to Goodyear together; only Bill stayed through to retirement in 1962. From selling tires he advanced steadily to become the first manager of the Company's engineered automotive products sales division and capped his notable career with ten years in that responsible post.

Name a Dartmouth cause or activity and Bill was totally involved in it. Only a sudden five-week trip up the Rhine to Switzerland and Austria kept Bill and Ruth from our interim reunion last year - how fine that Ruth has that memory.

William Harold McKenzie and Ruth Wilhelm of Akron were married there on November 19, 1919, so celebrated their Golden Anniversary last year. She survives him, at their 97 Mayfield Avenue home in Akron. So do two sons, William R. '45 and James W. '51, both of Akron; a daughter, Mrs. Jean Anderson of San Francisco; a brother Charles '20; a sister; and five grandchildren. Cap Palmer sent Class roses to Ruth arid represented us at the services. It is hard to say goodbye to such a man.

1917

Louis CUNNINGHAM died on May 26, 1970 in Altoona, Pa., after an extended illness. He was born in Northville, S. D., on December 13, 1891. Later his family moved to La Crosse, Wis., and he came to Dartmouth from La Crosse High School. He maintained his membership in the First United Presbyterian Church of La Crosse and returned there frequently for visits.

Louis was with our class for only part of our freshman year. Subsequently he attended the University of Wisconsin and received his B.S. degree in 1917. Thereafter he was with the National City Company of New York City up to 1933 and was its representative in central and western Pennsylvania for part of this time. Later he represented other securities firms and at the time of his death was a licensed representative of Janney, Battles and E. W. Clark, Inc. of Philadelphia.

Louis was married on October 24, 1918 at the Little Church Around the Corner to Beulah Irene Masters. They had two daughters, Phyllis (Mrs. Richard J. Vogel Jr.) of New York City and Dingmans Ferry, Pa., who during 1959 and 1960 lived in Hanover while she was a secretary for Dartmouth College, and June (Mrs. Floyd Lang) of Hanover, Pa.

Although at Dartmouth for only one year, Louis always regarded Dartmouth as his alma mater. In 1929 he was asked to interview an applicant for admission from Pennsylvania, John F. Meek '33, Vice President and Treasurer of the College. Thereafter Louis' interest in Dartmouth became especially keen and he kept in close touch with the College, made a number of visits to Hanover, regularly attended the Dartmouth-Princeton football game, and Beulah and he attended our Fiftieth Reunion in 1967.

The Class extends its deepest sympathy to Louis' widow and to his two daughters. Mrs. Cunningham lives in Altoona, at 2901 Fourth Avenue.

1918

Our classmate JAY LE FEVRE died after a long illness on Sunday, 26 April. Throughout the 76 years of his life he called "home" the town of his birth, New Paltz, N. Y. His address was Box 276 in that town. No farther away than Lawrenceville, N. J., in 1910 he began his college preparation, and four years later with ten of his Lawrenceville schoolmates Jay entered Dartmouth. Here he made the Glee Club and became a member of Alpha Delta Phi. He also did well scholastically, and when, after only two years with us, in 1916 he withdrew to return to New Paltz, he was in good standing. In World War I he came home from Camp Zachary Taylor a Second Lieutenant, Field Artillery. Once more a civilian back in New Paltz, he shared with his father the conduct of the family business - retail fuel, feed, and lumber - under the firm name of A. P. LeFevre and Son, which it still bears. Jay became its president in 1929, and was later elected to a one-year term as president of the Northeastern Retail Lumbermen's Association. He served for a time as member of the New York State Bridge Authority, and also of the New York State University Board of Visitors in New Paltz. A trusted servant of his community, he became first vice president and trustee of the New Paltz Savings Bank and a director of the State of New York National Bank, Huguenot Branch, Kingston, N. Y.

Jay served as elder in the Dutch Reformed Church; he was trustee of the New Paltz Village Library; a town committeeman in New Paltz from 1930 to 1955; a one-time trustee of the Holland Society of New York. These and numerous other business, civic, and social positions that Jay held attest to the esteem in which he was held by the voters in the several New York counties which sent him to Washington four successive times as their Republican Representative in the 78th, 79th, 80th, and 81st Congresses - a proud record.

Though with us on the Dartmouth campus only two years, Jay is vividly and warmly remembered by every Eighteener whom he, our able, smiling choral leader, inspired to lusty harmonizing in those spring-time "hums" of long ago. Some of us, privileged to have known him intimately, share the sorrow his death brings to his surviving family: his wife Mildred, his daughter Elaine, his two sons Jay and John, and his five grandchildren. To them all we, his classmates in 1918, proffer sympathy.

DONALD GILMAN ROBINSON passed away in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, on 5 April 1970. He had lived there in retirement for several years. Don was married to Barbara (Paul) in 1922 and she passed away in 1958.

He is survived by his son, Paul, to whom we extend our sympathy.

1965

Captain JOHN CHARLES SEEL was killed in Vietnam on Tuesday, April 28, 1970, while on duty as a postal officer. He had been in Vietnam for two days. Because many will read this and curse the war that sent him there, this remembrance of John Seel must be written.

John Seel believed in freedom, not as a political concept, but as a basic natural right with which each man is born. Since man is a rational being and therefore cognizant of his being, his natural motive is to enrich and fulfill his life. It is the same rational faculty which enables man to produce and to know he should produce for himself and which makes him realize that each and every other man has that same natural right. Thus, no other man, nor group of men, can morally deprive him of the right of freedom. The function of government, John believed, is to protect man's natural rights from those who would usurp them, whether to satisfy personal greed or under a notion of sacrificing individual freedom for the good of the whole.

His philosophy was not a passive one; he believed in working toward effecting a better society by actively promoting a system of government that will enable men to work and achieve in a free framework. At Dartmouth, John was a member of Army ROTC and the president of Young Americans for Freedom. He was a tireless campaigner for various Conservative Party candidates in New York City and in the State of New York.

While his death can only be considered a tragedy, John would not have thought that he died in vain. It should be remembered, and will be remembered by those of us who knew him, that John worked for and lived his beliefs. He pursued truth and always maintained a gentleness and sensitivity for those who did not agree with him. He was a good listener and, while hardly speaking at all, was usually the most influential speaker in a gathering. John had a facile mind and quick wit; he could hit the heart of any matter with clarity of insight.

John leaves a widow, Laura; parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Seel; and a brother, Thomas. For himself, for them, and for a better world, John lived a truly purposeful life. The sadness that one feels at his passing is particularly poignant since he did not have the time to fulfill the great promise that was his.
