FRANK CUDWORTH FLINT, A.M. '41, Professor of English Emeritus, died at Dick's House, Hanover, on February 11 after a long illness. He was an active member of the Dartmouth faculty for 34 years until his retirement in 1963, since which time he had continued to make his home in Hanover.
Professor Flint's special interest was in modern literature and in contemporary poetry in particular. If any one modern poet held his deepest interest it was Wallace Stevens, the subject of several of his critical essays and reviews. For years Professor Flint wrote Poetry Chronicle, an annual review of modern poetry. When he was scheduled to be the speaker at the College's Ticknor Club, a full turnout was always assured, for his brilliantly written papers were characterized by scholarship and original insights and were eagerly awaited. Despite requests, he never permitted any of these papers to be published.
Professor Flint not only gave advanced courses in his specialty, but he enjoyed teaching Freshman English, of which he was chairman at various times. In the late 1940's he offered a special course for foreign students whose English was not up to grasping Chaucer and the King James version of the Bible.
Professor Flint was born in Bellingham, Wash., on May 23, 1896 and was a direct descendant of Patrick Henry. Following his graduation from Reed College in Oregon in 1919, he went to Balliol College, Oxford University, as a Rhodes Scholar. There he received the B.A. degree with honors in 1922 and won the Oxford University Chancellor's Prize for an English essay. He began his teaching career as instructor at the University of lowa in 1923. Later that year he joined the Princeton faculty, leaving in 1927 to become editorial assistant with The Macmillan Company. Bowdoin College appointed him Assistant Professor of English in 1928 and in the fall of 1929, after receiving his M.A. from Oxford University, he came to Dartmouth as assistant professor. He was elevated to full professor in 1941 and at that time received Dartmouth's honorary A.M. degree.
Professor Flint also taught at the Breadloaf School of English at Middlebury College and at the Harvard Summer School. While or leave of absence from Dartmouth in 1945 and 1946 he taught at the U. S. Army University at Biarritz and the Area Command School at Bremerhaven.
A prolific contributor of critical essays and reviews on modern poetry, literature and religion, Professor Flint wrote hundreds of pieces for such publications as The SouthernReview, The Symposium, The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Kenyon Review, Chimera, and The New York Times Book Review.
He was a member of the Modern Language Association, the National Association of Teachers of English, the College English Association, the Association of American University Professors, the American Society for Aesthetics, and the Renaissance Society of America. In Hanover, he belonged to the Ticknor Club and the Tucker Fellowship and was past chairman of the Hanover Unitarian Fellowship.
Professor Flint, a bachelor, had no surving relatives. A memorial service was held in the Sanborn House Library on February 19. Among the tributes by his English Department colleagues was a long memorial poem, written for the occasion by Prof. Thomas Vance.

1916 lost one of its stalwarts when PAUL HATHAWAY DAVIS died at his home in South Dennis, Mass., on January 4. Coming to Hanover from Chelsea, he became a member of SAE. In World War I he enlisted with Bill McKenzie, quickly earned his commission, and served as a Ist Lieutenant of Infantry in the A.E.F., 1917-1919. Earlier upon graduation, also with Bill McKenzie, he had joined the Goodyear organization and by 1922 was that company's special representative in Belgium and Luxembourg, the first of his many responsible assignments abroad. In the mid-20s he was back in the States but in 1928 entered on a 13-year term as Fisk Rubber's European manager with headquarters at Antwerp. When the Germans invaded Belgium and broke through to the Channel, he was one of the last Americans to be evacuated out of Dunkirk.
At this juncture, Paul and a retired British naval officer formed a partnership—Anglo- American Distributors—to service Europe and the Near East, and this was also active for a time after the war. But from 1942 to 1946 Paul was an officer of the Allied Military Government, variously in North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany. From this he retired with the rank of Lt. Colonel.
In Le Mans, France, in May 1919 he married Marie Mercier, and their daughter Marguerite Hathaway was born on August 2K, 1921. After the death of his wife, Paul brought his eleven-year-old daughter to the States to make her home with his sister, Mrs. Vannevar Bush.
When the partnership terminated, he returned to the States. For several years he operated a turkey farm in Jaffrey, N. H., then he retired around 1950 to his mothers ancestral home in South Dennis and became a dedicated "Cape Codder."
In later years he often remarked that there were only two places to live, Cape Cod and Paris. Hanover, however, was a close third and his greatest enjoyment was to return each year for a four-day football weekend at the Hanover Inn with Ruth and Bill McKenzie. Alec Jardine, Peg and Cliff Bean, and other classmates.
Paul was extremely modest, with a benevolent and humane philosophy. He had a rare sense of humor and among his close friends he established himself as an accomplished raconteur with his anecdotes of the native life of Jaffrey and Cape Cod.
He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Dame Mautner, and three grandchildren of Laguna Beach, Calif.

By 1921 he had served two years in the Navy, earned his LL.B. at George Washington University, and entered on a life-long career of teaching combined with the practice of law, mainly in labor relations. From 1921 to 1953, with the exception of five early years of practice in Montgomery and Tampa, he was professor of law at the University of Alabama. While there, he also was a member of the executive committee of the Association of American Law Schools and vice-president of the National Academy of Arbitrators.

1919
REAR ADMIRAL PAUL JAMES HALLORAN, Civil Engineer Corps, USN, retired, died unexpectedly at his home in Yorktown, N. Y., on February 14, at the age of 74.
Paul Halloran was devoted to his family, his faith, the profession of engineering that he began at the Thayer School, Dartmouth, and the Class of 1919. Nobody ever knew which came first, but it didn't matter since he himself was not one to sort out such abstractions.
Paul, or "P.J. " was a man of immense "Pagination and talent. He was master Mechanic, skilled craftsman, electronics buff, Photographer, musician, artist, writer, actor, and athlete. But most of all he was a builder. Sometimes, during his 27 years in the Navy, he built the machines of war. Foremost of those was the mighty aerodrome on Tinian, in the Mariannas, from which B-29 bombers flew t0 drop conventional and atomic bombs on Japan during World War II. The 6th Brigade Seabees, which he commanded, was twice awarded the Presidential Unit Citation and Paul was twice decorated with the Legion of Merit wit V for valor for his wartime service.
Even so, Paul hated destruction. Construction was his game. He built roads and bridges to open up the wild and beautiful back- country of Haiti, for which he was given the Haitian government's Medal of Honor and Merit He built a library in Samoan architecture for which he was named a full-fledged chief with the title of Asofausia.
After the war and his retirement from the Navy, he became vice president of Foley Brothers, Inc., a heavy construction company with headquarters in Pleasantville, N. Y., and turned his attention to the building of plants and railroads and piers throughout the Western Hemisphere to serve the commerce of the world. And after his second retirement in 1958, he continued to build with his own hands and sweat at his home known as Oran Hall.
Paul Halloran was a complicated man and perhaps not an easy man to know. He was a stern, proud, and driving man who belonged to that now-vanishing breed of self-made men. He almost always hid his emotions and open displays of affection made him uneasy. But behind that sometimes gruff facade was a generous and sensitive spirit and a fierce loyalty to those whom he loved.
Paul died the way he lived, going hard up to the last minute. He was outside that Sunday morning, clearing ice off the road and doing jobs before coming in to change his clothes to go to Mass. He hung up his coat, sat down, and, literally, died with his boots on. Had the Lord given him a chance to write his own ticket—and no man wanted to write his own ticket more than Paul Halloran—he would have had it no other way.
Paul left his wife of 43 years, Catherine; two sons, Richard '51 and David '53; a daughter, Joan Ensley; and ten grandchildren. They, and the Class of 'l9, will miss him, but he will remain, as that most beautiful of Dartmouth hymns has it, "miraculously builded in our hearts."
1920
JAMES FRANCIS WARBASSE died December 23, 1970 at the Saint Barnabas Hospital, Livingston, N. J., having contracted pneumonia and other complications.
Jim entered Dartmouth in September 1916 and was an apprentice seaman in the Dartmouth Naval Unit during the S.A.T.C. days on the campus during World War I. He was enrolled also as a student at Columbia University during the second semester of 1919.
His early business career was served with publishing companies: Wyoming Valley Distributing Co., McFadden Publications, and Crowell Publishing Company. Later he did advertising and promotional work for the Magus Magazine Company. At some time he switched to the oil business and was employed by Sun Oil Company. Subsequently he owned and operated a retail gasoline and oil products business.
Jim and Carol, his wife, made 279 Inner Drive, Venice, Fla., their retirement home. In addition to his widow, Jim is survived by his son, J. Richard, and his daughter, Carol.
Jim was one of several Warbasses who attended Dartmouth: two brothers, Lawrence H. '18 and Charles '20 (deceased) and a brother-in-law, Albert Whaley '23, (deceased).
To Jim's widow, Carol, and to his family the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
