1904

Class notes for the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine ceased abruptly at March 13, 1971 with the death of 1904's talented and beloved President, Edward K. Robinson, or "Robbie" to his classmates and contemporaries.

For many years he had been a resident of South Dartmouth, Mass., (on Buzzards Bay), and was the class member who had had the most to do with keeping the Class on the map, so to speak.

"Robbie" had been a member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, 19 3 6-1942. He had been nurtured in the Dartmouth tradition, with his father a graduate of the Dartmouth Class of 1887; and his earliest relative associated with the College a graduate of the Class of 1824 and a trustee of the College from 1865 until his death.

Robbie's long service with Ginn & Company (of school book fame), of which he became an employee upon his graduation from college, led to his becoming salesman, advertising manager, managing editor, partner, a stockholder and director of the later formed corporation, as well as treasurer for both the partnership and the corporation. He was also an inventor of what he termed "a couple of unimportant book-binding devices." His loss to the Class was great indeed.

He is survived by his wife, Hope Dunlap Robinson; son-in-law Harvey F. Phipard. Jr., and two lovely grandchildren.
