Faculty

MAURICE PICARD, A.M. '29, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, died at Dick's House on December 6, 1970 at the age of 80, following a long illness. He was born in Nyack, N. Y., on July 18, 1890 and was a member of the Dartmouth faculty from 1929 until his retirement in 1958.

A graduate of Trinity School in New York, he received a bachelor's degree with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1910, and a master's degree earned as a William Mitchell Fellow in classics in 1911-, both from Columbia University. He began his teaching career at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania as an instructor in Greek, Latin and botany, but left after a year to study botany further. He was a Goldwin Smith Fellow in Botany at Cornell University and then went to Middlebury College as assistant professor of botany during the academic year 1913-14.

He then decided to become a priest in the Protestant Episcopal Church and entered General Theological Seminary in 1914. Following graduation in 1916, he was made a deacon, but continued at the seminary as a Mayo Fellow until 1917 when he was ordained a priest in the New York diocese. Instead of entering the service of the church, however, he returned to secular studies, attending New York University which awarded him a Ph.D. in philosophy in 1919.

For the next three years he was a lecturer in philosophy at Barnard College, and during part of this period he was a special instructor in Greek at the Seminary and in philosophy at both City College and Columbia. He left New York in 1923 to become an assistant professor of philosophy at Wells College and two years later assumed the same position at Lehigh University, where he remained until he came to Dartmouth in 1929 as professor of philosophy.

In 1926, Professor Picard married Catherine Adams Moore of Chicago. She was the daughter of Adrian Webster Moore, professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago. The Picards had two children, Charlotte, now Mrs. William Ratcliffe of Montreal, Canada, and Jerome, a member of the class of 1955 at Dartmouth who now lives in New York. Mrs. Picard died in 1952.

At Dartmouth Professor Picard taught courses in logic and the history of philosophy. As an ordained priest of the Episcopal Church, he served in many parishes while teaching, and officiated occasionally in St. Thomas Church in Hanover. A scholarly man, Professor Picard enjoyed playing the piano, and spent many hours in practice. The family had a summer home in Kezar Falls, Maine.

In addition to numerous articles in philosophical journals, Professor Picard was the author of a book, Values, Immediate andContributory, and their Interrelation, published by the New York University Press in 1920. He was a member of the American Philosophical Association, the American Association of University Professors, and the Sons of the Revolution.

1900

The Class of 1900 has lost another able member, ARTHUR STANLEY ROBERTS, who passed away November 29, at a Massachusetts nursing home. A memorial service was held December 2 at the Bacon Street Chapel of the First Congregational Church, Natick.

Arthur entered Dartmouth from Phillips Andover Academy in the fall of 1896. In college he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, Casque & Gauntlet and the Dramatic Club, sang in the Episcopal choir, and gave the class day oration to the President. He was graduated Phi Beta Kappa and majored in the Classics. In the fall of 1900 he went to the Shattuck School, Faribault, Minn, as Greek Master; then in 1902 he was appointed Greek Master and head of the English department at St. George's School, Newport, R. I. From 1903 until his retirement in 1946 he served St. George's as senior master.

During his years in Newport he was president of the Newport Council, Boy Scouts; senior warden, St. Columba's Chapel; vice-president of the Redwood Library and Atheneum; and chairman of the Secondary Education Board, now the National Association of Independent Schools. Sabbatical leaves gave him opportunity for travel and he spent a number of winters in Europe and summer vacations found him at his "Farm" in Conway Center, N. H.

In 1907 he married Honka Szalnar, Budapest, Hungary. After her death in 1944 he married Ruth Mulligan of Natick. He is survived by his widow Ruth and his daughter, Ilonka.

Arthur was ever a loyal and devoted member of the Class of 1900 and of Dartmouth College.

MORTON HULL, one of '08's most outgo- ing, active and beloved members, died December 7, 1970 after twelve years of illness.

He served also as president of the New England Wholesale Grocers Association. Mort gave his time freely to innumerable civic efforts, but he still found time for the Dartmouth Club of Hoiyoke, which he served as president.

Mort was married on June 16, 1914 to Marguerite Sears of Holyoke, who survives him, as do one niece, and three nephews. Memorial services were held in Skinner Memorial Chapel on December 9. The sincere sympathy of the Class is extended to Mrs. Hull and members of his family.

JAMES JACKSON NORTON died in Temple City (Calif.) Hospital on November 24, 1970 after nine years of what he had called "my tiresome entertainment of Mr. Parkinson's disease."

1912

No longer shall we be entertained at Class reunions by Bud Hoban's fine voice, his masterful skill at the piano, and his fine colored pictures of Mexico, New Hampshire, and other points of call. He died November 30, 1970 at Hollywood Fla., from a vascular cerebral accident following a long siege with herpes zoster. He will be sorely missed.

BERNARD ARTHUR HOBAN was born in Claremont, N. H., on April 21, 1890. Graduating from Stevens High School, he entered Dartmouth in September 1908. In college he was a three-sport man, captain of the freshman basketball and baseball teams, and a member of the freshman football team. He won his "D" in basketball and baseball and was a member of the varsity football squad. In addition to these accomplishments, he played in the college orchestra, sang in the college choir and glee club, and was Class chorister. He was elected to Phi Sigma Kappa, Casque and Gauntlet, and Palaeopitus. A man of many talents, in the summer of 1907 with two other classmates, he took over the services at what is now Trinity Church in Cornish, N. H. They preached, played and pumped the organ, rang the bell, and did whatever else was needed of them.

From Dartmouth Bud went to St. George's School in Newport, R. I., where he was in charge of athletics for two years and again from 1926 to 1934. From 1914 to 1917 he was at The Hill School and in 1917 he took charge of athletics for nine years at Gilman Country Day School in Baltimore. In 1935 he was assistant football coach at Harvard and in 1942 held the same position at Brown. , .

Bud introduced American football in Mexico in 1941 as an appointed representalive of the Rockefeller Commission on International Affairs, remaining until 1946.

One of Bud's crowning achievements, in which his wife Barbara was an active partner, was the establishment in 1916 of Camp Wallula for boys at New London, N. H., followed by Camp Marlyn for girls in 1930 at Andover, N. H. He retired and sold the camps in 1960

Another interesting highlight is the fact that as a descendant of James Hoban, the architect who designed the original White House, Bud received recognition from the same House in 1965 when he proposed a plan for a national bicycle network as part of the President's Physical Fitness Program.

On September 9, 1916 he married Barbara Louise Bogle of White River Junction, Vt. Since his retirement they made their home in Hollywood, Fla.

1924

We are sad to report that with the death of PAUL FRANKLIN LOCKWOOD in Newton, Mass., on December 2, the third and last of the Class's Lockwoods left us.

Paul was born in Hyde Park, Mass., in 1902 and was graduated from the local high school. In college we knew him as "Lefty."

Looking back to the record, which is meager, Paul was living in Waban and working for the Shawmut National Bank in Boston in 1927; with the depression just arriving, he turned to the field of wholesale produce, in Faneuil Hall, Boston. In 1929 he was with the Swift Co., turning to the accounting department in 1935; then similarly with C. H. Stone Co. His first wife, the former Mary Jacoby of Summit, N. J., died in 1934.

The Dartmouth Athletic Council appointed Jack chairman of a committee which drew up plans for a modern ice arena for Dartmouth. Jack's interest in this sport stemmed from the fact that his son, John Jr. '63, was captain of his freshman team at Dartmouth and later captain and star of the varsity hockey team.

DR. WARD WEIMAR was killed tragically November 24, 1970, struck by a car while crossing the street in front of his home in Brightwater, N Y.

Ward was born in New York City, moved to Greenwich, Conn., at an early age, and was a graduate of Greenwich High School. A member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Dartmouth, he was the designer of the 1946 Winter Carnival statue in the middle of the green.

He enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1942. In December of that year he was one of nine men on board a converted auxiliary yawl crippled by a gale while patrolling the New Jersey coast. The ship was lost for 21 days but it and its crew managed to survive two hurricanes, ten gales and 50-foot waves before it was located off North Carolina.

Returning to Dartmouth for his B.A. degree after the war, Ward graduated from the N. Y. State University Downstate Medical College in 1950 and practiced medicine on Long Island from that time on. At the time of his death he was Senior Surgeon, Good Samaritan Hospital, West Islip, and Attending Surgeon at the South Side (Bay Shore), Pilgrim, and Central Islip State Hospitals.

Ward was a talented painter and sculptor, but his great love was the sea. The family owned an auxiliary sloop, Blue Teal, and spent most of their weekends on the water. He was buried at sea in keeping with a long-expressed wish.

Ward is survived by his wife, Nell; four children: Laura, 19, Ward Ir., 17, Charles. 16, and lames, 13; and his parents and twin sister. To them go the deepest sympathies of the entire Class.

The end of 1970 brought some distressing news of the death of another classmate. FORRESTER (TERRY) MAPHIS succumbed to a kidney ailment at the Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D. C., on November 21, 1970.

Terry's career was both interesting and intellectually rewarding. His interest in political science and international realtions, in which he majored, was probably inspired at the time he was a page in the House of Representatives prior to college. This interest continued after college during his studies at the University of Paris and later Georgetown University where he received a Master's degree in History and a Bachelor of Laws degree.

Although Terry was a practicing lawyer with the firm of Mercier, Sanders, Baker and Schnabel in Washington, his intellect demanded more. He edited a trade publication for the Machinery and Allied Products Institute, taught French at Georgetown University, and at the time of his death was completing his Doctorate in World History at the University of Maryland. Non-academic pursuits included activities with the Art Club of Washington and several small theater groups.

Never married, Terry leaves his mother, Elsie Forrester Maphis of Washington, D. C., and a sister. The class extends its deepest sympathies to them.

GERALD SOKOLEC, truly a loyal classmate, died August 25, 1970 after a long illness. Gerry came to Dartmouth from the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago. While in Hanover he worked on the Aegis, was a brother of TEP, and graduated from Tuck School.

Gerry returned to Chicago where he was active in sales and management as vice president of the Wilmar Printing Corp. He continued to have great interest in Dartmouth, as shown by his service as chairman of the high school recruiting and interviewing program for Chicago's south side and suburban schools, and by working as an outstanding regional coordinator for the class Alumni Fund drive.

In his last year Gerry worked for a special aldermanic election in his ward, helping an independent candidate win by carrying .bis precinct with the second largest plurality. Although he had been sick for almost four years, his illness did not deter him from doing so many things so well.

The Class extends its sincerest sympathies to Gerry's parents as well as to his twin brother and our classmate, Cary.
