Faculty

EVERETT WALTON GOODHUE '00, Professor of Economics Emeritus, died June 19 at the Austin Home in Warner, N. H. One of only two living members of his Class at the time of his death, he had served as secretary for 1900 for the past 15 years and despite total blindness in his final years he continued to prepare the class notes and to show a lively interest in all Dartmouth affairs.

Professor Goodhue retired from the Dartmouth faculty in 1948 after 27 years as a member of the Economics Department. For the next seven years he served as professor of economics and consultant on curriculum for-Principia College in Elsah, Ill., making 53 years of teaching in all.

"I climbed out of an apple tree into the teaching profession," Professor Goodhue remarked on his retirement. "One day (in 1902) while I was at the top of an apple tree picking applies, I received a call from Montpelier (Vt.) Methodist Seminary which resulted in my going there to teach." He had been a Dartmouth Fellow in Sociology in Boston, 1900-02, which later led to a Dartmouth A.M. degree, but his first teaching subject at Montpelier was history. In 1903 he went to Colgate University as instructor in sociology and economics, establishing a new department there. He became a full professor before leaving Colgate 17 years later to accept appointment as Professor of Economics at Cornell University, where he had done graduate work in 1911-12. He remained at Cornell only one year until called to Dartmouth as Professor of Economics. In addition to teaching basic economic principles to many hundreds of Dartmouth men, he gave advanced courses in banking and economic liberalism.

Professor Goodhue was born March 17, 1878 in West Barnstable, Mass., the son of Mary (Perkins) and Henry A. Goodhue, Class of 1857. He was married in June 1911 to Mary Julia Taylor of Hamilton, N. Y., who died in 1970. There were no children.

Among Professor Goodhue's Dartmouth honors, he was named Class Secretary of the Year in 1966, and in 1968 the Alumni Council bestowed upon him the Dartmouth Alumni Award, its highest tribute. In the latter citation it was said: "Through the years you have maintained your youthful state of mind, your verve, flexibility, enthusiasm, and interest in things about you — the Dartmouth Outing Club, its trails you hiked, its runs you skied; the daily football practices you watched; the Vermont hills you wordpainted so beautifully . . . You have loved all people and animals too. Never were you guilty of passing by on the other side. You have been ever grateful and always you have found in the expression of gratitude a life-giving, buoyant quality of thought."

Professor Goodhue was a member of the American Economic Association and American Academy of Political Science, and was a Fellow of the Royal Economic Society. He was a member of Chi Phi fraternity and while living in Hanover was a deacon and chairman of the board of trustees of the Christian Science Society.

A memorial service was held June 29 in Rollins Chapel at Dartmouth. Secretary of the College J. Michael McGean '49 spoke on behalf of the College. Mrs. Richard W. Morin ('24) conducted the Christian Science service.

EDWARD JORDAN FLETCHER, the last of our men from Maine, died June 25, 1972, after a long illness. He had been nearly blind for months. He was born in Portland, November 30, 1878, and spent most of his life there. He entered college with us, and was with the Class for two years. He then began a long career as an investment broker, forming his own company in 1928. He retired several years ago. His survivors include a daughter, two sons, five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

In college Ned became a member of Theta Delta Chi. He was quiet and unassuming, and did not appear on any athletic squads. In later years he was an ardent hunter and fisherman. His interest in Dartmouth stayed with him all his life. He was a member of the Maine Dartmouth Club and was a generous supporter of the Alumni Fund. His home was 51 West Main St., Yarmouth.

At our reunion Mrs. Thompson reported that she had called on him in the hospital just a short time before, found him quite cheerful, and ready with amusing stories.

HERBERT GOODING PARKER died July 31, 1972, in Worcester, Mass., five weeks after his 93rd birthday.

Herb had followed his father and two brothers in coming to Dartmouth, where he became an active member of his Class. He was a member of the glee club and tennis club. His fraternity was Theta Delta Chi. In junior and senior years he was choirmaster of St. Thomas Church, where his fine tenor voice and wide knowledge of church music was much appreciated.

After college he studied law at Boston University, and at the Indiana Law School where he won the LL.B. degree. In 1913 he began the practice of law in Indianapolis, and was admitted to practice in the Indiana Supreme Court and other state courts. He served as Counselor, Attorney, and Solictor in Chancery, and was a member of the bar associations of the city and state. In World War I he was a member of the local draft board. In 1949 he retired and returned to Worcester to live with a widowed sister. Herbert never married.

After graduation, he joined the staff of Vermont Marble Co. at Proctor, and soon transferred to their New York office as salesman. In 1917 he moved to the Cleveland office, where he remained until 1920. He then helped form the Allen Marble Co., of which he later became president, until the depression forced liquidation in 1932. With a friend, Don organized a real estate development, with boating facilities 40 miles west of Cleveland, until 1942 when World War II interfered. The next four years he was construction engineer with the Federal Public Housing Authority, covering three states.

With sadness we announce the death of our classmate THOMAS WILLARD TOWLER at the age of 80. At the time of his death he was dozing in his TV chair at his home in Summit, N. J., and succumbed apparently without pain. "Bill" had a long and colorful career and was a tireless worker for his Class and for Dartmouth, and to say that he will be sorely missed is putting it mildly.

Born in Freeport, Me., October 16, 1891, he attended Portland schools and was graduated from Deering High School and Dartmouth College.

He entered the Army in 1916 and served during World War I. He retired with the rank of captain in 1934. During the early months of World War II he was commander of the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in the Portland area.

Word of his death was received from his only surviving relative, his daughter, Phyllis Strickland.

1916

CHARLES EDWIN BRUNDAGE, senior partner in the New York investment counseling firm of Brundage Story & Rose and 1916's president from 1966 to 1971, died in Morristown, N. J., Memorial Hospital on July 28. He was 77.

Charlie's career added up: thorough preparation enabled him to settle into his life work by 1923. His exceptional drive and stamina then enabled him to maintain momentum on more fronts much longer than do most men.

With his brother Norman, he came to Dartmouth from West Orange High School. On campus he was a founder member of the Cosmos Club, was graduated Phi Beta Kappa, then earned an M.C.S. from the Tuck School in 1917. He additionally held a postgraduate fellowship at Carnegie Tech and immediately after World War I studied at the Sorbonne. In the AEF 1917-1919, he served in the 15th U. S. Engineers, the first volunteer regiment to land in England.

On coming home, four years of related experience — successively as assistant personnel manager of the Celluloid Company at Newark, as an examiner in Washington for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and in the bond department of the Guaranty Company led him into investment counseling. From 1923 to 1931, he was an associate, then general partner of Scudder, Stevens & Clark. In 1932 he formed his own firm and was active to within a month of his death. He was also a founding member of the Investment Counsel Association of America.

In May 1922, Charlie and Edna Thompson of West Orange were married. In 1930 they acquired the large farm on Mount Freedom Road, Dover, N. J., which has since been their home. Perhaps it has been more a base, for Charlie traveled far and wide on business and even when home he commuted five days a week, nearly two hours each way between Dover and lower Manhattan.

Even so, with the expansion of his land holdings in the middle years he took on the character of a concerned country squire. In 1937 for example he proposed the first ordinance for a rural township in New Jersey, providing zoning regulations and a planning board in Randolph Township, then served as its chairman until 1954. This done, he and Edna, of the extensive acreage they had assembled, donated nearly half to provide two parks. He also served for decades as chairman of the Morris County Shade Tree Commission; also as a member of the Morristown Draft Board.

As more of his business travel and detail fell to younger associates, Charlie became freer to devote more of his time to two other symbols of growth and stability: Dartmouth College, and the conservation of land and wildlife — and from then on his Land Rover rolled up major mileage between Dover and the Northland.

To the College in memory of their son Robert Peter, a marine lieutenant killed in action on Okinawa, Charlie and Edna gave the Brundage Ski Lodge which serves the Skiway near Lyme Center. From the inception of the College Bequest Program, Charlie had a prominent role in it and was our Class Bequest Chairman from 1956 to his death. He served a term on the Alumni Council, two three-year terms as an Overseer of the Tuck School, received an Alumni Award in 1961, and was a member of the Major Gifts Committee of the Third Century Fund.

Of many other affiliations, appointments or honors that bespoke Charlie the man, a few were: Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Canaan College; Trustee, Union Dime Savings Bank of New York; Director, Trust Company of Morris County; Dartmouth Bequest Chairman of the Year, 1965, and Chairman of the Association of Class Bequest Chairmen; Charter Member and Past Commander of American Legion Post #22 of West Orange; Life member and recently vice-president .of the Fifteenth U. S. Engineers Association; and, of many supporting memberships, one in the Covered Bridge Association of New Hampshire.

At or before the funeral services held at Orange on July 31, the Class was represented by Burton Lowe, Herbert Dingwall, Philip and Sarah Stackpole, and by the sixteen red roses sent to Edna. In lieu of personal flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Dartmouth College.

Surviving Charlie are his widow Edna and a son John Edwin at Dover; a daughter Mrs. William B. Cater of Milburn; two brothers, and three grandchildren. To them all, the deep sympathy of the Class is extended.

Our one and only DANIEL WEBSTER COAKLEY died in a Santa Monica (Calif.) hospital on July 4, 1972.

Born at Wakefield, Mass., April 3, 1889, he was older than most of us because, upon the death of his father, Dan left school at 10 to help his younger brothers and sisters through. He eventually made up his points in two years at Powder Point Academy, entered Dartmouth on condition, worked his way in Jim Haggerty's Grill, and graduated with honors.

At Powder Point from 1910 to 1912 wiry Dan. a sprinter, was one of a four-man track team that swept New England meets. At Hanover, in our freshman tryouts, barely a month after entrance, he pulled a tendon that could have ended a career, but not Dan's. In his last month as a senior, May 1916, he twice qualified for his "D," in the Penn dual and the New England championships. In the latter, he also equaled the New England and Dartmouth record of 10 seconds for the 100-yard dash which, the plaque in Leverone Field House still shows, came to be shared by a total of nine men, and stood from 1899 to 1940. Dan was a Sigma Chi.

His business career was in surety bonding. Except for 1917-19, when he served as 2nd lieutenant of Ordnance AEF, he was with the Aetna Casualty and Surety Co. at Boston until 1922. Then he moved permanently to the Los Angeles area where he was surety bond manager successively for Aetna, Commercial and Globe, Regal & Royal Indemnity until 1937. Then he became an independent broker. In recent years he lived quietly at 19238 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu.

Dan was buried in Inglewood (Calif.) Cemetery. He is survived by his widow Ida at Malibu, and by a brother Leo at Bell Gardens, Calif. We share their loss. The hill winds know his name.

The friends of MERRILL LINCOLN GREELEY will be saddened to hear that he died at Whitney Manor Hospital in Hamden, Conn., on June 29, aged 80.

Born in Whitman, Mass., "Doc" came to Hanover via Thayer Academy, became a member of Kappa Sigma, and helped John Butler start The Student's Store. Regretfully, our record of his career is almost as brief. Until 1924 he was a salesman with the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. at New Haven. In 1926 he married Louise Wilder of Leonia, N. J., moved there, and successively was a manufacturer's agent, a salesman for Pabst Cheese, and in 1934 the Eastern District sales representative of the Rival Packing Co. of Chicago.

The next entries, via our 1968 questionnaire over thirty years later, reported his return during World War II to the Winchester Company to serve as assistant to the executive vice president in charge of plant and equipment rehabilitation and maintenance, and his then being senior vice-president of the North Valley Savings and Loan Association in nearby Tenafly, with a record in local church, Boy Scouts and Red Cross leadership matched only by that of his wife.

When a change of address to Hamden came through last winter, however, followup revealed that Doc's wife had passed away in January after a long illness, that their daughter had brought Doc to the nursing home near her — and now he has gone. With its deep sympathy, the Class extends to his daughter and her family its appreciation of her kindness to Doc, and her courage.

1917

ALFRED EDWARD GOSS died April 7, 1972. Like many others of the Class of 1917, Babe enlisted May 10, 1917 in the Signal Corp, U. S. Army. He served overseas and in May 1919 was discharged with the rank of Private First Class. His early interests were in investment and commercial banking. He served in the investment house of Borton and Borton in Cleveland and later was connected with the Equity Savings and Loan Co. of Cleveland. The only recent information available was received through one of his employees who states: "I have been a sales lady for Mr. Goss in the real estate business for the past 22 years. He was a great man and employer whom I shall surely miss." Babe is survived by a brother, Robert C. Goss of Oklahoma City.

1917

CORNELIUS FRANCIS MURPHY died May 10, 1972 in Maiden, Mass., at the age of 78. Connie was an outstanding athlete, serving as varsity captain of baseball. After graduation he served in the SOS, AEF, from December 1917 to March 1919, at which time he was discharged with the rank of Second Lieutenant. His first business interests centered in Boston as a salesman for F. A. Donahue and Co., produce brokers. Later he was a senior analyst for the Massachusetts Division of Employment Security. He served in various capacities in the city of Maiden. He was appointed Liquor Commissioner as well as a Judge at Wonderland Park. It is interesting to note that during these years in his home city he continued his interest in baseball and played for several years in the Maiden Twilight League.

He is survived by his widow Mary (Brady), a son Cornelius Jr., a daughter Mary Allen, and three grandchildren.

ROBERT EDWIN NUESE died May 19, 1972 at his home in West Cornwall, Conn. He was born in New York City on December 16, 1893. He had lived in Cornwall for 42 years and had taken an active part in the political life of the community, serving as Republican Town Committee Chairman for many years. He was chairman of the town board of finance from 1937 to 1941, trial justice of the town from 1949 to 1961, and justice of the peace from 1961 to 1964.

After Bob left Hanover, he transferred to Columbia University, graduating in 1917 with a BS degree. In spite of this affiliation, he maintained a close interest in the Class of 1917 and Dartmouth. During World War I he joined the American Ambulance Service attached to the French Army and saw active service as an ambulance driver. Later, when this service was dissolved, he transferred to the American Air Force in France.

For many years he was in the advertising business in New York and owned his own agency. He retired in 1930 and moved to Cornwall, buying the old Beauty place. The Hayloft Book and Print Shop which he established in 1945 has been well known throughout the area. He was a great lover of books and a tribute to his interest in them was written by Mark Van Doren who referred to "his joy and pride with the books in a building which not everyone felt free to enter. If you did enter it, you were at once in a collector's paradise."

Bob is survived by his widow, the former Josephine Carter, two daughters, and a son.

GEORGE KEYES PAGE died June 16, 1972 at the McLaren General Hospital in Flint, Mich. Keyes was most active in his college days, serving on The Dartmouth board as well as being editor of the 1917 Aegis. After serving in World War I, he was discharged at Camp Dix, N. J., in October 1919 with the rank of First lieutenant.

Years of experience in the investment and banking business included connections with the Guaranty Company of New York, White Weld and Company of New York City, and Willison Neely Corporation, Ltd. of Toronto, Canada.

Keyes, a native of Perry, N. Y., went to Flint from St. Joseph, Mo., where he had been director of the Citizens Good Government Association. In Flint he was one of the organizers and secretary of the first mayor's fact-finding committee for capital improvements in 1955, secretary of the 1958 fact-finding committee named to review the City of Flint budget, and chairman of a temporary steering committee for urban renewal in 1959. In 1960 and 1966, he was a member of committees which set up census track boundaries in the Flint metropolitan area. He was also a member of the research sub-committee for the Flint township annexation committee in 1960. He belonged to the Elks Lodge 222 and the Rotary Club of Flint, of which he was a former president and had served as secretary since 1956.

He leaves his widow Frances, a son, three grandchildren, and a brother.

HOWARD WARE COLE, prominent Boston attorney, died at his home, 36 Washington St., Marblehead, Mass., on July 5. He entered college from Salem and had lived in Marblehead and Beverly all his life.

A graduate of Harvard Law School, he was senior partner of Biiickley, Sears and Cole at the time of his depth.

1920

GEORGE HUMPHREY MACOMBER died suddenly on July 21 in Sarasota, Fla., where he had made his home since 1969. It is impossible to list the many tasks he undertook and handled so willingly for 1920 and Dartmouth.

George was born November 28, 1896 in Nashua, N. H., where he lived until entering Dartmouth in 1916. In college his outgoing personality won him a large circle of friends. He became a devoted alumnus, interested in all that concerned the College, and a staunch supporter of the Alumni Fund. He always attended 1920 class reunions. Among Dartmouth men George was highly admired as a loyal and concerned alumnus.

During his years at Hanover George lettered on the freshman and varsity cross-country, relay and track teams. He was a member of Delta Upsilon, the Sarasota Dartmouth Club and the Ivy League Club. An army veteran, during World War I he took early training at Plattsburg, followed by service with the U. S. Field Artillery as a Lieutenant. After graduation he continued at Tuck School, graduating with his M.C.S. His early business years were with S. S. Pierce Co., Boston, after which he became a partner and later owner of A. J. Cunningham Co., wholesale pork dealers in the Boston market.

On June 6, 1925 he married Hazel Jane Shippee of Worcester, Mass. They spent most of their married life in Wellesley until retiring to Florida in 1969. We all knew and appreciated the Macomber team — Hazel and George — who for years wrote so well the '20 news in the Alumni Magazine.

Survivors include his widow, a son Harvey — who followed his parents to Florida where George was helping him in his construction organization — and five grandchildren. To them the Class extends its deepest sympathy.

A funeral service attended by many Dartmouth Floridians was held in Sarasota on July 23. A memorial service in the chapel and interment in the family plot at Edgewood Cemetery, Nashua, was on August 5, attended by many of his classmates and other friends. The service was conducted by Allen Foley who paid fine tribute to George.

1921

HERMAN GEORGE MCMILLAN died of pulmonary congestion at Venice, Fla., on April 17, 1972.

Born September 17, 1896 in Gill, Mass., he prepared for college at Mt. Hermon School. At Dartmouth he became a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity.

During World War I he was a naval aviator. He was Lt. Commander at North Island, Calif., Administrative Assistant at Pearl Harbor; Commandant at Luganville Air Field in Esperito Santo; Commander of Fighter Strip at Guadalcanal; and finally as Assistant in Charge of Training on the West Coast until the termination of the war.

After an honorable discharge from the Navy he became associated with the Mobil Oil Co. in industrial sales, later becoming a national troubleshooter. He was also involved with the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in Washington, D. C.

In 1928 he was married to Helen M. Williams, who died in 1958. In 1963 he married Elizabeth Stenger, who survives him.

He was a member of the Masonic Order, the American Legion Air Service, the Aviation Commandery Naval Order of the U.S., the Quiet Birdmen, and a life member of the Constantinople Club in Istanbul. In 1962 he moved to Nokomis, Fla. and became a member of the St. Boniface Episcopal Church in Sarasota.

Besides his widow he leaves one son, H. George McMillan Jr., and one granddaughter.

DAVID SEEGAL died July 24, 1972 in Columbia Presbyterian Hospital after many months of a painful, slowly progressing disease.

Born June 23, 1899 in Chelsea, Mass., he entered Dartmouth from Chelsea High School, and roomed with Herman Schulting in New Hampshire Hall. After a semester at Dartmouth he transferred to Harvard University where he received his bachelor's degree in 1921. Returning to Harvard Medical School, holding a James Jackson Cabot Fellowship, he obtained his M.D. degree.

He served his internship at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, and in 1936 became director of Columbia research service into chronic disease. At a time when the main thrust of medical science was to deal with acute infectious diseases, Dr. Seegal's unit directed fresh attention to circulatory, respiratory, kidney and liver disease, and to cancer. After eleven years in the post he became director of medical service at Maimonides Hospital, also teaching at the Long Island College of Medicine and the State University of Medical Center. In 1951 he returned to Columbia as Professor of Medicine. In 1964 he received the emeritus post, but continued practice.

Following that date, being physically house-bound, he devoted much of his time to writing poetry, and had over 200 poems published in periodicals. Many of his efforts were sent to Jack Hurd, and a lively correspondence followed from which he derived much pleasure and support.

The Class of 1963 at the College of Physicians and Surgeons dedicated its yearbook to Dr. Seegal, noting that he had provided new implements for the doctor's bag: the Golden Rule, the open mind, the ability to say "I don't know."

He was editor of the Journal of ChronicDisease, and initiated the Brandeis University "Living Biographies" designed to bring via video-tape the lives of professional medical men.

He leaves his widow, Beatrice Currier, who received her M.D. from Johns Hopkins, a sister, and three brothers.

1922

EDWARD DUNNAHOO MORSE died June 8, sadly on the eve of 1922's 50th Reunion, in Avon, N. Y., where he had lived for more than 30 years.

Eddie was a native of South Bend, Ind., and entered Dartmouth from South Bend High School. His many college friends remember him as a good student and a sincere, friendly classmate.

His father was a brick manufacturer and ceramics expert and the young graduate's initial business experience was with the Kulage Brick Works, Hobart, Ind. He then joined the Theona Operating Syndicate, brick manufacturers in St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, Mich. After that he became a representative for manufacturers of clay products.

After a move to Dallas, in 1940 he went to Avon, N. Y., and worked in Rochester where for many years he was manager of the heavy hardware department of Weed and Co. and more recently was associated with M. T. Doland, Inc.

Eddie and Rachel Sackett were married October 18, 1924. Since 1947 they made their home at 22 High St., Avon. He is survived by Rachel, their son Edward D. Jr., three grandchildren, and Eddie's sister. The Class joins them in bereavement.

He was a past president and director of the White Mt. Regional Association and the N.H. Good Roads Association. He was also active in the Rotary Club and was a member of the Lancaster Municipal Budget Committee and the board of directors of Weeks Memorial Hospital.

Hart's survivors include his widow, the former Roma Davis, a son John, a daughter Nancy, and four grandchildren.

1924

EDWARD WILLIAM BAILEY was found dead in his Bennington (Vt.) home where he had presumably died earlier in the week of "natural causes." Word came to the College from his son Thomas, his only adult survivor, who lives in Bellows Falls, Vt. Ed and Alice, who died in June of this year, retired in 1962 and moved to Bennington in 1967 to be near their son and family.

Ed came to Dartmouth from Needham (Mass.) High School. After graduation he earned a master's degree at Harvard while working at home with the William Carter Co. Then he found his life work for 35 years with the United States Bureau of Fisheries, starting in Washington, D. C., as a Junior Aquatic Biologist for two years; then for three more he was at the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge, Mass. His premedical courses prepared him very well for his career as a scientist rather than as a physician. He returned to Washington as Assistant Division Chief, and finally went to Boston as Assistant Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

Ed had a strong interest in St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Natick. The press notice indicated that "memorial contributions" to his church, where he had sung in the choir for 15 years, been Superintendent of the Sunday School, and also vestryman.

He came to Dartmouth from Shattuck Military School, but (as a Class Letter quoted him) left in February 1922 when studies seemed less important than falling in love. He also described himself as a "loyal ex-classmate" who was proud that his son, James III, graduated from Dartmouth College in 1950. Bill was married in 1925 to Helen LaDoux, who also survives him, as does a brother.

1936

The Class has lost another member who represented a rapidly disappearing segment of American life in the death of CHARLES WARD HOFFMAN on June 29, 1972. Bunny had been ill with leukemia and died at Albany Medical Center.

He was born in New Rochelle, N. Y., on March 11, 1915. At Dartmouth he was a member of Sigma Chi and majored in chemistry. After graduation he took two postgraduate years at Columbia, studying chemistry and botany. After further study of greenhouse work and hybridizing, he bought a fruit and dairy farm in Dutchess County, New York. He continued farming for the rest of his life, an activity shared by very few other members of our Class. As costs went up and farm labor became scarce, Bunny converted to fruits and vegetables for retail sale, which he continued to the time of his death.

In 1941 he married Mary Humphries, who survives him. They had three sons, Roger, Jonathan, and David, and two daughters, Mrs. James (Susan) Ellis, and Barbara who is at home. Also surviving are one granddaughter and his brother, Roger '41 of Ipswich, Mass. The Hoffman family live in Red Hook, N. Y.

Among those attending his memorial service were R. w. "Spike" Daniels '36, and Alan Bryant and William Coe '37.

1937

DR. WILLIAM FLETCHER RUSSELL JR. suffered a heart attack April 26 on his way to work and died before his arrival at the hospital in Conifer, Colo.

He was born in Nashville, Tenn., and came to Dartmouth from the Horace Mann School for Boys in New York City. He left Dartmouth to attend U. of Arizona before receiving his B.A. from the U. of Denver in 1938 and an M.D. degree from Columbia in 1944. He served in the Army Medical Corps from 1945 to 1948. In 1951 he received an M.S. from the U. of Colorado then became assistant medical director at National Jewish Hospital in Denver. He became medical director of Jefferson County Health Department in 1961 where he served until his untimely death.

He authored many scientific publications mostly on tuberculosis and one on falconry.

His administrative assistant, Mrs. Genie Wood, wrote to the College: "His wife Ruth and eleven children survive him, living at Rte #2, Box 76E, Conifer, Colorado. He also had eight grandchildren. He was a wonderful person and we shall miss him greatly."

The Class extends deepest sympathy to Ruth and the children.

1939

JOHN AMSDEN LARRABEE died in his car on the morning of June 2, 1972 while driving in his hometown, Williamsport, Pa. Jack had experienced several coronary attacks during the latter part of his life, but this last one was too great for him to overcome.

Jack was born in Williamsport on May 9, 1915, and entered Dartmouth with the Class of '39. After one year in Hanover, Jack transferred to Franklin and Marshall, where he was graduated in 1940. He was employed by Gulf Oil Corporation for the past 23 years, serving as Manager of the Gulf Terminal at the time of his death.

He was married to the former Rae B. Crooks in November of 1940. She survives him, as does his son Don M., and a brother Dave '31.

Jack spent many happy hours fishing and hunting, and was, in every sense of the word, an outdoorsman. Those classmates who knew Jack in our first year at Dartmouth may reach his widow at her home, 58 Fairview Ave., Williamsport, Pa. 17701.

1941

SAMUEL WHITING, of South Lyndeborough, N. H., president of Jones & Whiting, Inc., of Milford, died April 26 in Nashua at the age of 53. A native of New Hampshire and member of a family widely known in the dairy industry, Sam did not graduate but is warmly remembered in particular by classmates who came from his state. He was active in business and civic affairs in his section of New Hampshire throughout his career. The sympathy of the Class is extended to Mrs. Whiting, three sons, Samuel Jr., Jonathan and Stephen, and a daughter, Tracy, who survive.

1945

CHARLES CORBETT RONALDS died at his home in Coral Harbour, Bahamas, April 13, 1972. He was born in Montreal, P. Q., July 7, 1921, and prepared for Dartmouth at the Jennings School and Sir George Williams School. Charlie served in the Canadian Armored Corps., 1942-45, and was discharged with the rank of Captain.

He returned to Montreal to serve in various executive positions with the family printing firm, Ronalds Federated, Ltd. He also became the president of Federated Yacht Sales, Inc., and in 1964 moved to the Bahamas where he operated a hotel and marina on South Bimini.

The Class extends its sincere sympathy to his widow, Mary; three children, Charles C., Lorraine and Pamela, and a grandson Charles.

1949

The summer of 1972 will long be remembered for the passing of one of our most revered classmates. On August 15, 1972 EZEKIEL ALBERT STRAW died at the Manchester Hospital in Manchester, N. H., after a long illness. Zeke, who was honored last fall by the Class of 1949 with the Gold Pick-Ax Award, left his stamp on all who knew him and will be remembered as a man of courage and ideals.

A native New Englander, Zeke graduated from the Amos Tuck School before commencing a remarkable career in banking, first with the Amoskeag Savings Bank and then with the Manchester Savings Bank. He rose from the position of Director of Public Relations in 1954 to Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and President in 1970.

During his career he was a director of the Amoskeag Industries, the Manchester Gas Co., the Controlled Environment Corp., The Manchester Management Corp., the Manchester Capital Corp., and the Manchester Mortgage Corp., and was vice chairman of the New Hampshire Industrial Development Authority. He was a member of the American Bankers Association and served on the Banking and Financial Research Committee.

He was New Hampshire chairman for Radio Free Europe; a trustee of St. Anselm's College and the Manchester Boys' Club; chairman of the 1950 Hillsborough County March of Dimes campaign, the 1955 building fund drive for the Manchester Boys' Club and the 1964 Manchester Community Chest Drive; former chairman of the Brookside Congregational Church; former trustee of St. Mary's in the Mountains; and president of the Manchester Boys' Club from 1959 to 1964.

In 1966 Zeke was honored by the Manchester Jaycees as "Young Man of the Year" and in 1971 received the Brotherhood Award of the New Hampshire Chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews.

The surviving family includes his widow, the former Margaret McCracken; three sons, William, Jeffrey and Ezekiel; a daughter Sarah; his mother, a brother, and four sisters.

Zeke will always be remembered for his New England wit and his boyish smile. We can all say with candor "We're proud he was a classmate of ours."

1956

DR. HENRY SAMUEL BLOOM died in an accident in Stamford, Conn., while en route from New York to Boston in August 1970. News of his death was delayed in reaching the College.

"Hank" Bloom was at the top of the Class of 1956 in scholarship from start to finish. He was graduated summa cum laude, of valedictorian rank, with highest distinction in Medical Sciences, and was elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa in junior year. He was graduated from the Dartmouth Medical School cum laude and completed his medical education at Harvard Medical School in 1959.

Revealing his deep social concern, in 1967 he wrote: "My work is at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. I am a full-time faculty member in the Department of Medicine, with limited private practice in internal medicine and cardiology. Lincoln Hospital is a municipal hospital in the Southeast Bronx, serving a disadvantaged area of a population of 350,000 people. I am engaged with others in attempting to solve the problems of providing adequate medical care on an in-patient and out-patient basis to this large number of people while organizing and operating an effective teaching program. I feel that the war in Viet Nam is wrong, futile, and depriving local communities (such as the one in which I work) of funds sorely needed for domestic improvements."

A member of Tau Epsilon Phi, Hank was treasurer of the Dartmouth Quarterly, the literary magazine. He listed among his other interests the DCU. During a brief tour of duty with the U. S. Army, he was Assistant Chief of Medical Services at Fort Polk, Louisiana.

At his death, he was Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Visiting Physician — lnternal Medicine and Cardiology at Lincoln Hospital, and Assistant Attending Physician at the Albert Einstein College Hospital, also in the Bronx. He was a member of the New York Heart Association, the Medical Committee on Human Rights, and Associate Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. He is survived by his widow, the former Phyllis Oarsley, and four children, Lisa, Beth, Andrew and Howard, all of New Rochelle.

DONALD RICHARD MARRIOTT died on impact when his light plane crashed into the side of Kittatinny Mountain near Blairstown airport in New Jersey early on the morning of June 15, 1972. Rain, fog and generally adverse weather conditions that had plagued the area during the week of the accident hampered search and discovery until the following Tuesday. Among the hundreds involved in the search were Dartmouth classmates Frederick Baker and Leonard Clark Jr., who were also boyhood and high school friends in Verona, N. J.

News items at the time of his death indicate that he was engaged in the process of transferring his base of operations from Fairfield, N. J., to Blairstown, and the short flight from Caldwell airport, near his home in Montclair, had been a daily occurrence.

Initially, Don had joined his father in the family concern, Air Conditioning Products. After his father's death and under Don's guidance, the firm gradually shifted its line of business to swimming pool design and fabrication, and it was his intention to establish in Blairstown a new company, Marriott Manufacturing Corp., exclusively in the pool business.

A member of Beta Theta Pi and Sphinx, Don was an economics major. His teammates on the football team gave him the Manners Makyth Man Award recognizing Don's devotion to the game and that he had "conducted himself to the advantage of the College, and displayed good manners in the sense of William Wykeham's phrase, "Manners Makyth Man."

While proudly wearing the U. S. Air Force uniform, Don served the Country in the Strategic Air Command as a non-flying officer in England and Spain. It was during the past five to ten years that he learned to fly and eventually to own a plane.

The son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Vincent J. Marriott of Verona, Don was the third of four children including a sister, and two brothers, Vincent '51 and William. He was married in September 1971 to the former Mary Faith Newcomb. An uncle extraordinary to lots of other people's children, Don had assumed the role of father to her children, John, Jeffrey and Lindsay. Mrs. Marriott is expecting their child early in the new year.

1963

JAMES MICHAEL HICKEY died June 11. No further details on the cause of Jim's death or his activities in recent years are available.

Jim left Dartmouth during sophomore year. He came to the College from St. George High School in Chicago where he was president of his class and the student council.

Among Jim's surviving kin are his wife and a brother, Thomas J. Hickey '61.

1968

ALEXANDER EUGENE MCCARTHY died March 13, 1972 when the plane he was flying crashed as he was coming in for a landing. At the time of his death he was in the Air Force, stationed at Carswell Air Force Base.

Alex entered Dartmouth from Classical High School in Springfield, Mass. While at Dartmouth he was on the heavyweight crew and became a member of Alpha Delta Pi fraternity, where he served as social chairman during his senior year. One of his greatest attributes was the intense loyalty he felt towards his friends, and his willingness to help them whenever possible. This loyalty was repaid at his funeral when many friends from the Classes of 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969 attended to pay their respects. Those present from his own Class of 1968 included Steve Engelman, Dave Fuchs, Chuck Hall, Lael Kellett, and Don Marcus.

Alex is survived by his mother, Mrs. Margaret M. McCarthy, 92 Santa Barbara St., Springfield, Mass., and his sister, to whom the Class extends deepest sympathy. Alex will be long and loyally remembered by all who knew him.
