Faculty

FRANCIS LANE CHILDS '06, Winkley Professor of Anglo Saxon Language and Literature Emeritus, historian of his college, of Hanover, and of Henniker, N.H., his birthplace, died August 26 at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover. He was 88.

In Francis Childs, as President Dickey said when awarding him an honorary degree in 1961, town, gown, and granite state were uniquely met. Beginning his teaching mission at 17 in a country school, he joined the Dartmouth faculty three years after graduation. Professor Childs' classes, particularly those in Shakespeare, were a joy to students for the next 45 years, until his retirement in 1954. "Retirement" for him meant editing the Hanover Bicentennial Book, published in 1961, to which he also contributed chapters on "Personages and Eccentrics" and "Town and Gown." And writing a history of Webster Cottage, the student home of Daniel Webster. And giving countless talks on the people and events - great and small - of Hanover, Norwich, and Henniker. And, from 1957 to 1971, he personally delivered to "each entering class "A History Lesson for Dartmouth Freshman," a 50-minute lecture on three of Dartmouth's most famous men: Eleazar Wheelock, Daniel Webster, and William Jewett Tucker, ninth President of the College. He concluded this lecture-of-love with the statement: "You young men are now entering into this historic heritage. You are now a part of Dartmouth, and for as long as your lives shall last Dartmouth will be a part of you."

Professor Childs also was a guiding force in the creation of the Wiiliam Jewett Tucker Foundation. He was chairman of the faculty advisory committee which recommended in 1951 the establishment of the Tucker Foundation to further the moral and spiritual work of the College through a variety of social service and educational programs, both local and national in scope.

At Professor Childs' birthday party last December, Charles F. Dey '52, then Dean of the Tucker Foundation, acknowledged the debt of "countless men ... who have benefited from the ideas turned loose by Francis Lane Childs." Dean Dey then unveiled an architectural rendering of the Francis Lane Childs Room in College Hall, which is now open to the Dartmouth community for conferences, lectures, and other activities.

Following his graduation summa cum laude, he earned his master's degree at Dartmouth in 1907 and his doctoral degree at Harvard in 1914. Named Professor of English in 1920, he served as Chairman of the English Department from 1943 to 1947 and was Chairman of the Division of the Humanities from 1947 to 1951. Professor Childs was a life member of the Modern Language Association, a member of the American Dialect Society and the New Hampshire Historical Society, and for several years was Vice President for New Hampshire of the New England Genealogical Society. For five years he served as President of the Dartmouth Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. He also was active in many capacities for the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College.

Serving his college in every possible way, he was Class Secretary from 1925 to 1938, a member of the Alumni Council from 1940 to 1946, and, at the time of his death, was both Class Treasurer and Newsletter Editor. The Alumni Council presented him with its highest honor, the Dartmouth Alumni Award, in 1959; besides his Dart- mouth honorary degree, he also was made an honorary doctor of literature at New England College in Henniker in 1961.

Professor Childs was married in 1929 to the former Leila Brown Kelsey, who died fifteen years ago. They had no children. He is survived by a number of nieces and newphews.

Funeral services were held at the White Church on August 29, with Fred Berthold Jr. '45, Preston Kelsey Professor of Literature and first Dean of the Tucker Foundation, officiating. The Town of Henniker met on September 16 to pay its respects to Professor Childs at a public memorial service at the Congregational Church of Henniker.

JOHN BARKER STEARNS '16, retired Daniel Webster Professor of Latin Language and Literature died of cancer at his home in Hanover on July 14. He was 79.

A classicist by training, by nature and by outlook Professor Stearns studied, taught and wrote about the classics for better than a half-century; he enjoyed the classic verities of bird-watching, gardening and skiing; and he looked upon his world of town and gown with a tolerant, philosophical and amused eye.

Born a Down-Easter in Norway, Maine, he came to Dartmouth in 1912 from the Portland School and was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the College. After graduate study at Princeton University, where he earned an M.A. degree in 1917, Professor Stearns entered the United States Army and served two years overseas attached to the French Army as an interpreter. He was wounded once, gassed once and awarded the Croix de Guerre.

He was an assistant professor at Alfred University in 1920-21 and an instructor at Princeton from 1921-24, earning his Ph.D. there in the last year. After three years as an assistant professor at Yale, he began his long association with the Dartmouth faculty in 1927 as an Assistant Professor of Classical Languages and Literatures. He also taught courses in art and archaeology.

Professor Stearns was named a full professor at Dartmouth in 1931 and in 1961 he was named the Daniel Webster Professor of the Latin Language and Literature. He formally retired from the faculty in 1961, but kept very active in college and community affairs.

He served Hanover as town moderator, on the Board of Education, as a member of the Hanover Improvement Society and the Town Planning Board. He was formerly a trustee, vice president and president of the Howe Library in Hanover and was a member of the New Hampshire Art Commission.

For his college. Professor Stearns was 1916 class secretary in 1944-45 and was renamed to that post in 1971. He was editor of his class newsletter, the 1916 Balmacaan Athletic Club Newsletter, from 1966.

In the newsletter post, he was given to adding a paragraph or two at the end of each issue, entitled "Here in the Village." These vignettes of persons purported to live in the Hanover area, were writings, their author claimed, of "ineradicable veracity," but to which, he admitted, was added "a touch of color."

Over the years the "Village" characters included Antonio Vivaldi (a onetime Volunteer Hose Co. member), Stefan Kastriota (the only one on the Hanover check-list who spoke fluent Albanian), Abner Gulick (who was worried because he was not allergic to anything) and Alvin Witherspoon (who was both laconic and antiecologist).

In 1966 the Alumni Council presented Professor Stearns with a Dartmouth Alumni Award, honoring his contributions to his college and his community. He was named Class Newsletter Editor of the Year in 1971.

Professor Stearns, with his wife Elsie and daughter Mary narrowly escaped Europe in fall of 1939 as World War II borke out. He later encouraged his Dartmouth students to refer to Adolf Hitler as Schicklgruber and the Nazi swastika as a "fylfot," another and less grandiose term for that totalitarian emblem. However, he did use Hitler's "Mein Kempf" as supplementary reading to Thucydides in his course on Roman history.

In 1945, Professor Stearns set out for a February 11 commencement exercise of a Navy V-12 class from his home in full cap-and-gown - on skis. He commented just this year (1973) on a classmate's praise about Florida's charms, saying that whenever he explored Madiera, Florida or like climes: "I get these dreams about frosty mornings here on my ridge when your nostrils stick together and the smoke from the chimney rises straight up in the air. This makes me so homesick that I pack up and head for home."

Professor Stearns was a member of the American Philological Association, the Classical Association of the Atlantic States, Delta Sigma Phia and Kappa Kappa Kappa. He had, at various times, articles and reviews published in the Classical Weekly, Classical Philology and other periodicals. His scholarly work culminated in the publication, in 1961, of Reliefs from the Palace ofAshurnasirpal II. a study rising out of his interest in Assyrian reliefs collected by the College in the 19th century.

Professor Stearns is survived by his widow, the former Elsie H. Thrall; a daughter, Mrs. William (Mary) Macdonald of Durham, N.H.; and two grandchildren, John Malcolm and Margaret Mary Macdonald.

1908

ROYAL PARKINSON CARTER passed away at some time prior to or in the first week of May 1973. "Nick," as we knew him, was first cousin to '08's late Dana Parkinson, and the third in the long line of Parkinsons at Dartmouth to bear the name Royal. He was known to be suffering, indeed crippled, for some years, spending much of his time lying down and reading.

"Nick" was born June 27, 1886 in Woburn, Mass., and prepared for Dartmouth at Woburn High School. In college he played on the freshman football team. He took a first year at Tuck. Shortly after graduation he accepted the post of superintendent of schools and of native teachers in the Philippines, first in Sorsocan Province, then in Mindanoa. About 1940 "Nick" became a planter and moved to Bohol Province where he lived the rest of his life. His plantations were scattered and he spent much of his time travelling.

He fell upon perilous times when the Japanese invaded Bohol. A band of terrorists had stolen all the family shoes. The family was forced to take to the hills. Nick became infected with hookworm and much bleeding from his feet. After the islands were retaken, he was treated at a U.S. Army hospital unit and cured. His first wife was murdered. He then married again to Tomasa Saleg. He had 12 children, six by each wife. Three of the children died from drinking polluted water during the Japanese occupation.

"Nick" was well read and informed. He never hesitated to express his opinions. He disagreed with some aspects of U.S. policy in Southeast Asia, as well as what he called "coddling" of minority groups in his native country, but he revealed his loyalty by naming one of his sons "Herbert Hoover" and another "Douglass Mac Arthur."

He was an avid 1920 man. On every occasion he attached 1920 or '2O to whatever he possessed. He lived at 20 Dartmouth St. in Rutland, obtaining the street name and number by special appeal to the proper civic authorty. His licence plate bore Vermont 1920 and finally, after much effort, he succeeded in getting his telephone number in Rutland changed to read 1-802-775-1920.

John is survived by his widow, Eva Stebbins Hill of Rutland; two sons and a daughter by his first marriage - John W., Frank F. and Virginia (Kingsbury); and their respective children. To his family we express our deep sympathy for the loss of a loved one. His brothers, F. Richard '21 and Kenneth B. '25, predeceased him.

Dartmouth has lost a loyal and generous son and 1920 a highly regarded member.

"All of us who had the privilege of close association with our friend Dick Livermore have many reasons for gratitude for the experience of working with a good man, a dedicated person, a conscientious and reliable partner and friend, and, perhaps above all, a man whose every act bespoke both his innate kindness and thoughtfulness and his deep concern for the tasks that he had undertaken."

Dick's survivors include his widow Shirley, a daughter Mrs. Carol Norris, and two grandchildren.

The Class sincerely shares their sorrow.

WESLEY L. NUTTEN JR., 73, Los Angeles lawyer and dedicated Dartmouth man, passed away suddenly on April 26, in Beverly Hills, where he lived at 708 North Crescent Dr.

Leaving Dartmouth after his sophomore year, he entered the University of Michigan Law School, where he received his LL.B. in 1923.

He then immediately moved to California, where he soon joined the Los Angeles law firm of Flint and MacKay with whom he remained until 1954.

It was also the controlling shareholder of the California Angels when they were organized.

Wes retired in 1966. Throughout his career his primary interests, outside of the practice of law and his home, were boating, fishing, and extensive traveling. His loyalty to Dartmouth continued through all the years. It was a great joy to have him in Hanover at our 45th Reunion and the Class looked forward to having him at the 50th but that was not to be.

OSCAR RANDOLPH HOCKENSON died on May, following a two-month stay at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, N.Y. He was 73 years old. Hooky's widow Katherine writes: "Hocky died after losing a valiant battle against cancer. His faith and hope of recovery were fantastic and the doctors and nurses were astonished by his bravery and spirit against all odds. His disappointment and final realization that he would not be able to attend the 50th Reunion were heartbreaking. He so wanted to see his classmates again."

Hocky was born in Lynn, Mass., and came to Dartmouth from Lynn's Classical High School. At Dartmouth he was a member of Chi Phi and on the freshman relay team and the varsity track squad. He was also a 1923 Class Director.

Following graduation Hocky began his business career with the Frank Shattuck Co. in Boston. Then came brief associations with Frigidaire Corp., Stanley and Stanley Co., and the New York Telephone Co. In 1935 he became vice president and sales manager of John deKuyper and Sons, a subsidiary of National Distillers Corporation. In 1948 he was appointed Regional Sales Manager of the parent concern, the position he held at the time of his retirement.

Both Hocky and Kay underwent several operations in recent years but Hocky insisted on minimizing his own suffering and did his best to sustain the quiet but happy life he and Kay found it necessary to lead.

Kay is Hocky's only immediate survivor. Memorial services were held on May 23 at St. Stephen's Church in Port Washington, N.Y. The Class of 1923 has lost another good man. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Kay.

Charlie Zimmerman who represented the Class writes: "The memorial services, which were beautiful, were well attended by a large number of Roger's friends in the Southport area. The Wilkinson's home is right on the shore in Southport. I had an opportunity to visit with Maggie who expressed her deep appreciation for the wonderful contribution which Dartmouth and the Class of 1923 had made to their lives."

Roger's survivors include his widow, Margaret Carter Wilkinson; two sons, John Hart Wilkinson of New York City and William C. Gibson of Amherst, Mass.; a daughter Mrs. Ann W.

Word comes to us from Gardner Akin of the death on November 4, 1958 in Arizona of MILTON EDWARD CARROLL. We have had no record of Milton's address for many years and he has been out of touch with his classmates. He was born on April 23, 1898 in New Bedford, Mass., and Gardner recalls that during the early 1940's he was an auto dealer in that city. College records indicate that he was with the Class in 1920 and 1921, but we have no other information concerning either him or his family.

1924

CHARLES MELVIN FRENCH passed away, suddenly and without previous warnings of pain, on June 30, after an attack and coma the day before. He was in the Chagrin Falls (Ohio) home where they had just returned from Arizona, seemingly in his usual vigorous good health, out to see his horses in the stable.

I have given some facts in the July issue and in a special 24 Hour Notice (July 23); the August letter has a page of pictures; the Memorial Book will contain a color picture of Charlie with his favorite horse. As I said, page 86 of the 40 Year Book gives many details of this leader while in college (Phi Gamma Delta, Green Key, Class President, Manager of the Track Team, DCA Cabinet, etc.), his career in the field of containers-manufacturing and sales, and its continuance in retirement with three assignments in Malaya, Cyprus, and Brazil as a consultant to local businesses needing his expertise.

Going back to beginnings: Charlie was born in Lancaster, Mo., came to Dartmouth from the Hutchinson (Kans.) High School where his many-faceted activities are well-remembered in both places. Perhaps a brief documentation of these "many-faceted activities" may be useful: (1) his life-long business career was centered chiefly in the Great Lakes Box Co., which he joined in 1937 and served as president from 1949 until his retirement in 1967. (2) A second business was the Tucson (Ariz.) Green Valley Development Co. as one of the four founders and director. Several classmates have visited there and bought homes in the ranch-development and others have built nearby. (3) Horses played a big part in Charlie's recreation activities as many know by sharing his enthusiasm and riding skill. He was a leader in the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club and the Trail and Riding Club; he went to Ireland to ride the hunt. (4) Religion was important, from St. Thomas' Episcopal Church in Hanover, to Junior Warden of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Cleveland Heights (from which he was buried), and a founder of the Christian Residences Foundation, and active in the Diocese of Ohio affairs. (5) Music was a delight; he served as a trustee of the Cleveland Institute of Music. (6) He was active in social agencies: International Rotary, Union Club, Old Pueblo Club (Tucson); a trustee and director for the Center on Alcoholism; the American Director of the experimental educational project of Kiyosato, Japan. Finally (7) his devotion to Dartmouth College increased over the years since 1920. He has earned our gratitude as Bequest Chairman (sharing this demanding-rewarding task with Harry Holmlund in recent years), as a past member of the Alumni Council, and in 1964 he received the Alumni Award from the Council.

Charlie married Jeannette Shepard in 1927. He is also survived by three daughters: Mary, Margaret Ann, and Jane; a sister; and nine grandchildren, including Peter Conway '74. Classmates present at the funeral included Harry Holmlund, Russ Treadway, Jim Rutherford, Ted Lamb; also his friend and associate, Lee Chilcote.

He served as one of the overseers of the United Fruit banana plantations and also manager and was captain of the Trujillo baseball team. It was here that Bud met Eunice Warren, a native of Jamaica when was a trained nurse with the United Fruit Co. in Honduras. They were married on December 28, 1929

In 1938 Eunice and Bud moved from Honduras to Framingham. Bud went to work for the Dennison Manufacturing Co. and was with them until his retirement in 1967. Having been active all his life, he could not easily accept retirement. For three years thereafter he served as a professor of engineering at Worcester Junior College. Since then he had been doing volunteer work at the Union Hospital.

Bud is survived by his widow and their three children Edward G., Richard W., and Jean W. Bratt. There are 13 grandchildren. Richard, the second son, wrote as follows about his father:

"Bud believed sportsmanship, fair play, and honesty were principles that everyone should follow, whether on or off the athletic field. His own personal life exemplified this philosophy by his continued unselfish concern for others through the sacrificing of his time, energy, and money to make the lives of his relatives, friends, and strangers, more happy and meaningful.

"In addition to leaving his wife, his immediate children with their families totalling 13 grandchildren, he left many other adopted sons, daughters, and grandchildren acquired through his sincere affection and concern. He was loved by all who came in contact with him because he valued and treasured the goodness in people more than material things.

"Bud did not acquire an abundance of wealth or position, but he did acquire his more valued possession - that of complete friendship, love, and trust with his fellow man. People loved him for what he was and for whath he stood for. Anyone who came in contact with Bud can truly say 'To know him was to love him'."

Chet was born in Conway, N.H., and entered Dartmouth from Kennett High School. In college he was a tackle on the junior varsity football team for three years, a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity, and the Camera Club. After graduation Chet went to the Boston University Law School.

During World War II he saw combat duty with the U.S. Marine Corps, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel. Chet spent much of his life in the Washington arena, having been administrative assistant to U.S. Senator Styles Bridges for nine years, and then to Senator Norris Cotton for another seven years. He was appointed by President Nixon to the position of federal co-chairman of the New England Regional Commission in which post he was serving when the President named him to the ICC, a nomination confirmed by the Senate last October.

The ICC is one of the most powerful of the independent federal regulatory agencies, since its work involves the rates and regulations of all ground transportation industries including railroad, trucking and busing operations as well as water carrier businesses. Having talked with Chet but a month ago, while we passed through Washington, we know that he was hard at work reviewing the dismal condition of the U.S. railroads, and was hoping to find some answers for a healthier industry. He had been planning to move to Washington at the conclusion of his interim term, assuming that he would be confirmed for a full term as a member of the ICC.

He is survived by his widow Joyce, who resides in Contoocook, N.H.

FISH will succeed, going on as a living memorial."

Children organization, through which Columbia Records presently assists many children throughout the world.

Fred was a member of Sigma Chi and one of the most popular members of the Class. During the spring semesters of 1947 and 1948 any one within earshot of the campus hearing a strident cry of "Yeah, yeah!" knew that the Sigma Chis were on the softball diamond and that Fred had just made a putout at second base.

In his memory, the Fred Wilmot Memorial Fund has been established in Thornhill, Ontario, to help children through the Canadian Save the Children organization. Contributions may be sent to the attention of his widow Gurley at 6 Milmar Court, Thornhill, Ontario.
