Faculty

CHARLES JULIUS LYON, A.M. '34, Professor of Botany Emeritus, died at Dick's House on August 6 at the age of 75. Although he retired in 1963, Professor Lyon continued his faculty activity as Adjunct Research Professor of Botany and at the time of his death was still carrying out an important research program under grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Professor Lyon, who believed that plants might someday provide both oxygen and food for astronauts on long space flights, was widely known for his research on the effects of weightlessness on plant growth. Having established that plants would grow erratically when not subjected to the force of gravity, he was engaged in learning why this was so and how plant growth in space might be controlled.

Professor Lyon came to Dartmouth in 1920 as Instructor in Botany and spent the next 43. years teaching here. A native of Grand Gorge, N. Y., and a 1918 graduate of Middlebury College, he earned his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard in 1920 and 1926. Prior to joining the Dartmouth faculty, he served as instructor in chemistry at Middlebury during 1918-19, and as instructor in mathematics at Simmons College during 1919-20.

Even before man first penetrated space in 1961, Dr. Lyon was conducting basic research to determine whether plants could be used to replace bulky oxygen tanks aboard a space craft and also serve as a minor food source for astronauts on the lengthy space explorations of the future. In 1962, he predicted that plants, in the absence of gravity, would grow into weird, twisted specimens. His theory proved true when the United States launched a miniature "space garden" aboard Biosatellite II in 1967. His was one of 13 biological experiments aboard the flight which was conducted by NASA. Actually, Dr. Lyon had simulated the results of Biosatellite II in his earth-bound laboratory at Dartmouth. Using a device called a clinostat, he was able to counteract the gravitational force on plants which produced specimens whose leaves folded back around the stem and whose roots grew up instead of down.

In an application to NASA in 1962 for research funds, he wrote, "It is too soon to know what species of plant will prove most efficient as a producer of oxygen and at the same time be a minor source of food for man on long space flights, but the odds favor fastgrowing, herbaceous annuals." He concluded that scientists must first learn how to control the erratic growth of plants in weightlessness before plants could be assigned to space capsules with confidence.

Professor Lyon was also involved with the problem of the rate of rise of the Atlantic Ocean. His research in this area began in 1931 along the coast of New Hampshire and Novia Scotia. Using the Carbon-14 dating technique on submerged logs on the tidal flat, he determined that it took 320 years for the Atlantic Ocean to rise one foot on New Hampshire's coast line at Odiorne Point, in contrast to only 51 years at Fort Lawrence and 62 years at Grand Pre, both in Novia Scotia.

In the early 19505, Professor Lyon reported that ground granite could be used as a fertilizer for a variety of plants. From his initial work with perthite, a variety of feldspar which is common in granite, he found that alfalfa and Alsike, white and Ladino clovers benefit from an application of perthite.

Dr. Lyon was the author of FloweringPlants and Vegetation in 1959 and translator and editor of Plant Respiration in 1927 and Chemical Plant Physiology in 1931. He was co-editor of Natural Areas of New HampshireSuitable for Ecological Research in 1971. He also authored more than three dozen scientific papers, ranging from the effects of chemicals on plant growth to plants in a weightless state.

Listed in Who's Who in America and WorldWho's Who in Science, Dr. Lyon received the honorary Doctorate of Science from Middlebury College in 1968.

He is survived by his widow, the former Gertrude Morrow Adair of Hanover, and a son, Dr. George A. Lyon '47 of Anchorage, Alaska. Services were held in New York. In lieu of flowers the family asked that contributions be made to the Department of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth for the purchase of books in Professor Lyon's memory.

JEANNE MELCHIOR PROSSER, Assistant Professor of History, died August 21 at her home in Hanover at the age of 43, after a long illness. She was the wife of Reese T. Prosser, Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth.

Born in Philadelphia, Professor Prosser attended the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr. Pa. and was graduated in 1950 from Radclift'e College, where she majored in French history and literature and received the Radcliffe Junior Prize in History and Literature. She continued her studies as a Fulbright Scholar in France where she earned the degree of Doctor of Letters with honors at the University of Bordeaux.

Mrs. Prosser taught in the French department at Tufts University from 1962 to 1965, and became a Fellow of the Radcliffe Institute for Independent Study the following year. In 1966 she joined the Dartmouth faculty with her husband. Her special interest was the French Revolution and in recent years she had been working on a computer-assisted study of the social and economic conditions in the city of Bordeaux on the eve of the Revolution. This work was supported initially by the Radcliffe Institute and the Milton Fund of Harvard University, and more recently by the American Council of Learned Societies.

A lifelong advocate of higher education for women, Mrs. Prosser served as a member of the Dartmouth Trustee Study Committee on coeducation and as chairman of the Subcommittee on the Education of Women. She also helped to organize the Women's Faculty Caucus at Dartmouth. In October 1969 she took part in the panel discussion at Radcliffe on the status of women faculty at Harvard and the feasibility of the Harvard-Radcliffe merger.

Professor Prosser was a member of the Modern Language Association, the French Historical Studies Association, the American Historical Association, the American Society of 18th Century Studies, and the French Society of Modern and Contemporary History. In addition to her husband, she leaves her mother, Mrs. Marthe Melchoir, of Haverford, Pa. and four children, Elizabeth, Charles, James, and David, all of Hanover.

Administration

ROBERT DANIEL FUNKHOUSER '27, Comptroller of the College from 1950 to 1966, and since then special consultant to the Treasurer and the Comptroller, died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in Hanover on September 3. He would have been 66 on September 28.

Mr. Funkhouser took early retirement in 1966 for reasons of health, but he remained active in the business affairs of the College in a consulting role and was at the office for part of nearly every working day. He also devoted much of his time to the Church of Christ, of which he was former treasurer and was a deacon at the time of his death.

He returned to Hanover in 1937 as Assistant Bursar of the College after several years in industry. He was an Assistant Professor of Accounting at the Tuck School from 1944 to 1948 and Acting Bursar from 1947 to 1948. He was appointed Comptroller in 1950.

Mr. Funkhouser's career as a financial officer of the College saw vast changes in accounting procedures. When he joined the staff, the College budget was $1.9 million, and income and disbursement figures were handposted. Later simple accounting machines were used, and by the time he retired the budget had increased ten-fold and computations were being done by electronic data processing.

Under Mr. Funkhouser's leadership, Dartmouth adopted the "market value" method of accounting, used by investment trusts for distribution of endowment income, to college accounting. The two papers on the subject which he presented before the Eastern Association of College and University Business Officers in 1953 and 1959 were influential in the adoption of the system by a number of other educational institutions.

A native of Dayton, Ohio, he prepared for college at the Moraine Park School. At Dartmouth he was a member of Casque and Gauntlet, Green Key, Palaeopitus, and Chi Phi. He was on the Athletic Council and was a member and manager of the varsity track team.

After receiving his MCS from the Tuck School in 1928, Mr. Funkhouser was with a General Motors affiliate in Detroit for one year before returning to Dayton to join the Frigidaire Division. He was one of 20 honor men from 15 leading colleges and universities chosen in 1929 for Frigidaire's second junior executive training program. He was with Frigidaire, rising to assistant general accountant, until he returned to Hanover.

Mr. Funkhouser has served the Hanover community as well as the College in many capacities in the intervening years. In addition to his church activities, he was for several years treasurer of Howe Library, had been a trustee and treasurer of Casque and Gauntlet since 1947, and was a former director of the New Hampshire-Vermont Physicians Service. He was a former member of the executive committee of the Eastern Association of College and University Business Officers and a member of the executive committee of the Class of 1927. While he was with Frigidaire, he was secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Dayton.

He is survived by his wife, the former Margaret Mann; three daughters, Patricia, Mrs. John Kirby, of Manchester-by-the-Sea Mass., Gretchen, the wife of Ryan M. Ostebo '60, and Deborah, a graduate student at Brown University; a brother, Richard L. Funkhouser '30 of Palo Alto, Calif.; and four grandchildren.

A memorial service was held September 7 at the Church of Christ in Hanover. Interment was private.

1898

The last surviving member of the Class of 1898, and the oldest living alumnus of Dartmouth College, JOSEPH PATRICK CARNEY, died at his home in Oyster Harbors, Mass., on June 29. He was 95 years old.

Born in Gardner, Mass., Mr. Carney attended Gardner High School before coming to Dartmouth. He received his law degree from Boston University in 1902. Associated with various businesses and industries, he was chairman of the Board for Thayer Inc. of Gardner, a large furniture manufacturing firm. For many years he was also chairman and president of the Gardner Trust Company.

In 1933 he was appointed by President Roosevelt as the Massachusetts Collector of Internal Revenue. A year later he was appointed New England Reconstruction Finance Corporation director. The corporation made funds available to keep depression-affected industries in business. He resigned his federal appointments in 1937 to return to private business, but in 1940 was named to head a national Franklin D. Roosevelt Library fund-raising committee.

Survivors include his widow Catherine, a son, and three daughters, 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

1904

JAMES CHRISTIE WALKER died in Lynn, Mass., April 30, 1971. He was 91 years old.

Mr. Walker retired in 1949 from English High School in Lynn where he had been director of social studies since 1917. Mrs. Walker predeceased him in 1968.

Survivors include a son, Dr. James C. Walker '33, and three daughters. A grandson, Andrew C., is a member of the Class of 1968.

1905

SHIRLEY BECK CUNNINGHAM died in a hospital in El Paso, Texas on June 19, 1971 at the age of 86. He was born in Wellesley Hills, Mass., on August 27, 1884. He graduated from Wellesley High School in 1901 and from Dartmouth College in 1905, where he was a Rufus Choate Scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Chi fraternity.

The first part of his life was spent in the public utility field and the last part in the publishing field. In 1946 he retired as a vice president of Prentice-Hall, Inc. of New York. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and a former member of the Dartmouth Club of New York.

He leaves his widow, Louise B. Cunning-ham of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

VERNEY WARREN RUSSELL died June 17, 1971 in Yakima, Wash., at his home at 3909 Sunrise Park Drive.

Mr. Russell was born in Thetford, Vt., and after graduation went west to Cody, Wyo., to work for the Reclamation Service on the Shoshone Dam. He then returned to Thayer for his engineering degree and once again headed west where he spent the next 45 years working for the Reclamation Service. In 1950 the Secretary of the Interior awarded him the Department's Honor Award for meritorious service.

His assignments covered all phases of irrigation, and his projects included the Kittitas Project, the Columbia Basin Project, Grand Coulee, and the Columbia Basin Irrigation System. He retired in 1950.

Survivors include his widow Ina, to whom he was married in 1921, their daughter, and two granddaughters.

Born in Chelsea, Mass., July 12, 1882, he prepared for college in Newton High School. He was a quiet, pleasant undergraduate, a member of Psi Upsilon. He was successfully engaged in thel insurance and banking business in Boston all his life. For over thirty years he was a special agent in the Boston office of the American Indemnity Company of New York.

In 1910 he married Roberta Watt, who died more than forty years ago. He is survived by two sons, H. Howard Cheney Jr. and Robert H. Cheney; one daughter, Mrs. Janet Cooke; six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

On July 13, 1930 at Westminster, Vt., he married Mary Spofford Ireland. She survives as do their son and daughter. She lives on Rt. 2, Dunbarton.

Earle was a Congregationalism a member of the Grange and a very loyal Dartmouth man.

1908

RAYMOND EUGENE MARSH, one of '08's distinguished national foresters who received their MF degrees from Yale in 1910, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 31, 1971, after a long illness in a Spokane, Wash., nursing home. About a year earlier, Ray had given up his quarters in the Cosmos Club in Washington and moved to Spokane where his son James lives.

Ray was born January 27, 1885 in Westport, N. H., and prepared for Dartmouth at Keene High School. In college he was assistant editor of the Aegis.

Ray's career began as Assistant Forester and Deputy Supervisor in posts in southwestern United States. In 1917 he was made Supervisor with headquarters in Flagstaff, Ariz., and two years later was promoted to Assistant District Forester, Southwest District, at Albuquerque, N. M. In 1926 he was transferred to Washington, D. C., as Assistant Chief, Branch of Research and Chief, Division of Forest Economics. In 1936 he was promoted to Assistant Chief of the Forest Service, where he had major responsibility for program planning, legislation, and policy.

Ray retired December 31, 1950 and was designated Assistant Chief Emeritus, U. S. Forest Service, and lifetime consultant to the Department of Agriculture and the Forest Service. He remained active, serving his due time as president of "Fossils," a group of retirees who remain active after retirement Notably, he visited the Scandinavian countries and became a consultant to them on forest policy. He is author of a book on policy toward private forests in Sweden, Norway and Finland. He authored also many technical articles and was honored by both Swedish and Finnish governments.

Ray was a Fellow of the Society of American Foresters and of the Association for the Advancement Science, and a member of the Organization of Professional Employees of the Department of Agriculture and the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church. In 1951 he was chairman of its Korea Committee which pionered the establishment and maintenance of the New Hope Orphanage for Boys in Taegu, Korea.

Ray was married September 6, 1913 in Alamosa, Colo., to Lillian M. Sutherland. She passed away March 16, 1967 after a long illness. Surviving are a son James, a daughter, and seven grandchildren. The sincere and heartfelt sympathy of the Class is extended to all of these.

Ray's ashes were buried in the family plot in Keene Cemetery on July 24, 1971. At the graveside services, Leon Woodward represented the Class.

1910

REV. WILLIAM COLLINS HAINSWORTH MOE, D.D., died at a convalescent home in Hartford, Conn., June 27, 1971. Born May 31, 1876, he was the oldest member of the Class of 1910 and at the time of his death was the second oldest alumnus of the College.

Bill Moe's life of service was so well described in the citation when in 1955 Dartmouth conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity that we repeat most of it: "Your life has been immense in all the dimensions that count: courage, conscience, competence, kindness and generosity. Reared as an orphan who knew not the meaning of parents until adopted into the hard life of a farm family at seven, for well nigh sixty years as student and pastor, you have done all that was in you to do in the service of your God. Fifteen years after finishing high school—years spent in work, teaching, the study of theology and preaching—you came to Dartmouth and as pastor of the Congregational Church in Norwich worked your way through this college to graduate summa cum laude with the Class of 1910. You have been, and you are, a pastor who truly gives of himself to others according to their troubles. No man in trouble is a stranger to you. Ten years after most men retire, you do double duty as pastor of your parish and as chaplain to the inmates of a county jail who except for the generosity of your caring would know precious little of either the brotherhood of man or the fatherhood of God."

Funeral services were conducted in the First Congregational Church of Guilford, Conn., where Bill was the pastor from 1925 to 1948. When he decided in 1948 to seek a smaller parish, the church in Tolland called him, and there he served for another nine years, rendering distinguished service in addition as chaplain of the county jail.

He was married September 26, 1901 to Georgia C. McCullough at Buffalo, N. Y., who died in 1955. He is survived by two sons, Robert L. and Russell T., and one daughter, Orilla of Hanover.

Bill Moe was one of the most loyal of the alumni, a devoted member of the Class. He gave freely of his time and money in the service of the College.

DALLAS FORBES SMITH died June 19, 1971 at the Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Mass. He was born June 26, 1889 in Roxbury, Conn.

After graduation he began a teaching career successively at the Stearns School in Mount Vernon, N. H., the Choate School, and the Westminister School, outstanding preparatory schools in Connecticut. His subjects were mathematics and science in both of which he was expert. He retired from scholastic teaching in 1931. During his latter years he was associated with The Melrose Inn.

It is quite appropriate that his memorial service should have been conducted in the Church where his father served—South Harwich Methodist. The interment was in the South Harwich family lot.

Dallas represented the last of his generation in the Smith family.

1911

CHESTER ARTHUR EMERSON died at the Kennebunk hospital on July 2 after a long illness. Chuck was born in Stowe, Maine, moved to Medford, Mass., and graduated from Medford High School, where he was captain of both baseball and football. At Dartmouth he played baseball for four years and was captain his senior year. Many years later 1911 'ers were still talking about his three-bagger against Penn that year which won the game for Dartmouth.

He was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and in addition to baseball played on the class hockey team, was manager of the freshman football team and class secretary freshman and sophomore years.

Most of Chuck's business life was with Converse Rubber Co. and U. S. Rubber Co., although for several years in the early 1930's he owned and operated the Maple Villa at Intervale, N. H.

He retired in 1954 to Cheshire, Conn., later in 1961 to North Conway, N. H., and finally to Country Field Circle, Kennebunk, Maine. He was a member of various Masonic Orders, and Aleppo Shrine of Boston.

He had four sons. Roger D. '46 was in the first ski troops and was killed in action August 16, 1943. He is survived by his wife Emma Rawson Day Emerson and three sons, Hugh, Chester A. Jr. '38, and Robert C. Also by eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

1912

EARL MILTON CUTTING died in Haddon-field, N. J., on June 19, 1971 following a short illness of only a few days. He and Edna had made their plans to join his Classmates for our 59th reunion in Hanover that same week but it was not to be. He will be greatly missed at these gatherings as he was the life of the party year by year. He lived at 2 Linden Ave.

Earl was born at Northfield, Vt., on August 4, 1888. He prepared for college at Northfield High School and then attended Norwich University for one year before entering Dartmouth as a freshman. He remained at Dartmouth for one year.

At first Earl was interested in a dry goods and boot and shoe store at Northfield and divided his time between this and timber and lumber interests. The war interrupted his business in May 1918 and for the succeeding 16 months he served as a corporal in the 76th Division, Headquarters Troop, 31st Regiment, with the major part of his service overseas. Following his discharge he returned to operate large timber holdings which he and his brother held in the Adirondacks, including 2500 acres of virgin timber. From 1933 until his retirement in 1958 he was an insurance broker for Prudential Insurance Co. At the time of his death he was a member of DeWitt Clinton Lodge of Masons and of the Northfield Country Club where he had continued to enjoy golf with old friends.

Earl married Edna M. Cordery Nixon of Atlantic City, N. J., on July 26, 1947. She survives him together with a sister and a stepson.

A graveside service was held in Elmwood Cemetery, Northfield, on June 24, 1971.

TRUMAN EMANUEL JOHNSON died in Fair-mont, W. Va., on June 5, 1971. He was born at Pigeon Cove, Mass., on April 26, 1885 and was the oldest member of the Class of 1912. He prepared for college at Cushing Academy and at Dartmouth was on the freshman football squad, sang in the College choir, and played in two Prom Shows. His fraternity was Chi Phi.

After leaving Hanover he was continuously in the coal business. In October 1933 he represented Northern West Virginia in the formation of the NRA, and later was on the price co-ordinative committee under the Bituminous Coal Act. Then followed a directorship in the National Coal Association and the presidency of the West Virginia Coal Mining Institute. In the late 1930's and 1940's he was secretary for the coal operators in wage negotiations with John Lewis. His memberships included the Coal Producers Committee for Smoke Abatement, the Coal Industry Advisory Committee to the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Committee, and finally secretary of the Coal Traffic Bureau of Northern West Virginia, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. He was a past secretary- treasurer of the Fairmont Field Club and past president of the Fairmont Rotary Club.

On September 10, 1918 Truman married Edna May Jacobs of Fairmont. Edna died in 1950. They had two daughters and several grandchildren.

1913

CHARLES HARDY LINSCOTT, our loyal and active classmate, died June 29, 1971 at the Glover Memorial Hospital in Needham, Mass. He had survived two major operations and was coming along nicely when he was suddenly stricken.

Services were held in the Lucy Stone Chapel of the Forest Hills Crematory.

1914

EDGAR HAROLD ELKINS, our devoted and capable Class Treasurer, died at the Springfield (Mass.) Hospital Medical Center on June 30, 1971 of a massive coronary thrombosis. He was born in Lakeport, N. H., November 2, 1890.

Laconia (N. H.) High School gave him good preparation for the Phi Beta Kappa key he was to earn as an undergraduate, and for the graduate degree in civil engineering that the Thayer School gave him in 1915.

That year he began his lifetime of association with the Adams and Ruxton Construction Co. of Springfield, with whom he served many years as vice-president and from 1962 as president.

Edgar was an active member of the Grace Baptist Church, various Masonic bodies and the local Kiwanis Club, as well as being a director of the Springfield Goodwill Industries.

1916

In the passing of JOHN DORLAND CREMER the Class has lost a man who devoted his life to the service of his fellow man. Death came to him on July 22, 1971 after a long period of failing health.

Dorland came to us from Eastern High School of Washington, D. C. At Dartmouth he was an organizer and member of the Cosmos Club. His scholastic excellence earned the Phi Beta Kappa key.

"Hod" was long active in the American Textbook Publishers Institute and was its president in 1959-60. A vice president of Holt, Rinehart & Winston, whose college department he managed for many years, he took leave in 1963 to make a survey in West Africa for Franklin Book Programs, a non-profit organization aiding native book publishing in developing countries. Upon returning from that volunteer mission, he offered to join the Franklin staff at greatly reduced salary; he became vice president for Africa and filled the post until 1968. Although serving also as consultant and observer in Asia and the Far East, he worked mainly in Africa and established three operating offices in Nigeria and a fourth in Nairobi, Kenya. Datus P. Smith has written, "The very least one can say about Hod's contribution to African education and African publishing is that he helped to point the way to the path now being followed, and that he offered the stimulus toward Africanization that seems to hold the key to the future."

Hod moved to the Association of American University Presses to be Executive Director, but had held this post for only two years when his final illness came. For AAUP he inaugurated training institutes in editing, design and marketing, and he also worked toward his dream of an international association of scholarly publishers. An association in Korea was one result of a three-week trip he made to Asia just prior to entering the hospital.

Hod was born in Hanover, N. H., where his father, the late Eugene F. Clark '01, was Secretary of the College. His grandfather was the Rev. Francis E. Clark, 1873, founder of the Christian Endeavor Society, and his uncles Harold S. Clark '09 and Sydney A. Clark '12. Hod prepared for college at Hanover High and Tabor Academy. He majored in French, spending his junior year at the Sorbonne in Paris and was a member of Psi Upsilon.

He entered the publishing business with Prentice-Hall in 1934 and also was with Foundation Press and American Book Co. prior to joining Henry Holt & Co. in 1945. He was named vice president of Holt, Rinehart & Winston in 1951 and held that post until 1963 when he joined the Franklin project. In Wilton, Conn., he was a Library Board member, chairman of planning and zoning, and head of a high school building committee.

Hod leaves his widow, the former Helen Greer of Wellesley, Mass.; two sons, Alden Jr. '61 and William G., and a daughter.

1935

CHARLES ALEXANDER TOSI JR., vice president and treasurer of the Pastene Company, Inc., a New York wholesale food distributor, died May 6 at his home, 160 Blauvelt Ave., Ho-Ho-Kus, N. J., after a long illness.

Charlie's business career had won him the admiration of his associates. He was a past president of the Olive Oil Association, and was involved in the international operations of his company as president of its subsidiary, Pastene Company, Ltd.

He is survived by his widow, the former Bernadette Beasley, whom he married in 1938, a son, three daughters, three grandchildren, and a brother Jerome R. '38.

1937

JOHN BERNARD HANDRAHAN died June 2, 1971. Johnny, as he was affectionately known, was an important member of the famous Earl Blaik football team that first defeated Yale.

Last winter he complained of shortness of breath which led to a five-week hospitalization and G.I. series that showed fluid in the chest cavity while the primary tumor causing the malignancy defied location, so John was released. On May 25 he returned to the hospital. This time all tests showed positive and he was gone in a matter of days.

A four-letter man from Hingham (Mass.) High School, he was Dartmouth's varsity fullback for three years. He won All-East honors and Ail-American mention in 1936, and played in the East-West Shrine game in San Francisco in 1937. He was a member of DKE and Sphinx. John became varsity backfield coach under Earl (Red) Blaik and a Navy Lieutenant in World War II. In later life he was chairman of the Boston area's South Shore enrollment committee, in charge of interviewing, and a member of the executive committee of the Boston Alumni Association and South Shore Dartmouth Club.

His business career was almost entirely with Equitable Life. Starting in the training department, he was later district manager of 'he Gorman Agency. In 1954 he returned to Equitable where he was many times a member of the Group Millionaires Club.

John's first wife, Eleanor, died tragically of penumonia, leaving him with four small children. His retired Dad joined him to help bring them up. A number of years later he married Jane Cusick, who has since worked closely with him in his insurance business and has passed her state brokerage license exam. We are much indebted to Ed Perry for his wonderful letter and tribute. Ed tells us the following classmates came to the visiting hours: Amon, Bankarts, Berensons, Hinmans, Dick Woods, and Al Romanow. Jane also received calls from Dave Camerer, Mutt Ray, Les Barrett, and Earl Blaik, plus many others. We feel it appropriate to quote from Ed's letter: "In spite of the grim picture the doctors painted from the beginning, John never seemed to lose his courage, determination, and optimism. He always said let's take one thing at a time in the hope they could find and treat the primary cause. All I can think of is the way he would put his head down, keep his legs driving, and explode through the line in a football game. He seemed to commit himself totally to everything he did in life, especially in his admissions and alumni work for Dartmouth."

He is survived by Jane; two sons, John and William; two daughters, Margaret and Ann; six brothers including Joe '36; and four sisters including Frances, Ed Perry's wife.

As a devoted Dartmouth man and close friend of many he will be greatly missed. Jane lives at 179 Norton St., Weymouth Heights, Mass.

Interested in continuing education, he attended the Alumni College in Hanover and arranged the first Alumni Seminar in Florida in 1970.

VERGNE LEROY HOFFMAN died April 10, after a long illness. We are indebted to his 19-year-old son, John, a sophomore at Northwestern University, for his helpful correspondence. John relays that his Dad had suffered for many years previous to a final diagnosis that indicated a post-viral cirrhosis of the liver, probably contracted in his youth, and attributed as the cause of death.

Vergne started a business career with a family company, Nutrition Labs, a pharmaceutical house that was owned by his father. This company was purchased by Whittier Laboratories, for which Vergne served as president, before adding to his responsibilities as branch manager of the Midwest branch of A. H. Robins Company, a firm that had in turn purchased Whittier Labs. According to son John, Vergne had developed the Midwest territory into the largest and most prestigious branch of the A. H. Robins Company during his twelve years of service.

Vergne married his wife Mary on February 5, 1944, and is survived by his widow, at 1220 Lynn Terr., Highland Park, Ill.; four daughters, one son, four grandchildren and his mother. We have passed on the Class condolences to the family.

HARVEY BERNARD NOLL of 22 Stonehenge Rd., Rockville Center, N. Y., died after a serious illness on May 13, 1971.

Harvey's wealth of friends can best be summed up by a paid obituary that appeared in the New York Times: "The most I can do for my Friend is simply to be his friend—(signed) Dartmouth Friends." In Harv there was no malice and he derived his greatest enjoyment and pleasures in life from his wife Blossom and daughters Ronnie and Barbara, to whom the entire Class extends their sincerest sympathies.

1958

The Class of 1958 is grieved to hear of the untimely death of THEODORE ROODNER, who passed away in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ted's wife Rena wrote to us about his activities prior to his death: "Ted graduated number one in his class in law school at the University of Washington and also received the top Law Review award. His name is engraved on two bronze plaques at the University of Washington Law School. Upon graduation in December 1964, he accepted a law position with Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen, and Hamilton, a Wall Street law firm. Later, he accepted an international law position with Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation and traveled extensively around the world. At the time of his death he was Latin American Counsel for Kaiser. Life was good to us in the Bay area. We owned a lovely home in Piedmont, a Folkboat sailboat which Ted raced on San Francisco Bay, and skied during the winter around Lake Tahoe. Some of his happiest years were experienced at Dartmouth and for this reason I am hoping friends will send contributions in memory of Ted."

The Class extends its deepest sympathy to Rena, their three daughters, Elizabeth, Kristin and Linda, and his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Elwood Roodner of New York City and Madrid. Rena is living at 1833-40th Ave. E. Seattle, Washington 98102.
