RUSSELL RAYMOND LARMON '19, Professor of Administration on the Benjamin Ames Kimball Foundation Emeritus, died at his home in Hanover on January 4. He had been in failing health for some months and prior to the Christmas holidays had spent a period in the intensive care unit of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.

Professor Larmon, known to all his friends as "Cotty," came to Dartmouth as a freshman in 1915 and never really left, although there were periods during his distinguished career when he was granted leave to fill such positions as State Director of the Office of Price Administration; Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the Eisenhower administration; and chairman of the board of The Rumford Press in Concord, N. H.

Upon graduation in 1919 he became assistant to President Ernest Martin Hopkins, while earning his M.C.S. degree at Tuck School, and in 1922 he was named executive assistant to the president. When a legacy by Benjamin Ames Kimball, 1854, established a Dartmouth professorship in the science of administration, Mr. Larmon in 1926 was appointed its first holder with the rank of assistant professor. For two years, however, before inaugurating the new department he traveled and studied in this country and Europe, assembling case studies. After six years of teaching he was promoted to Professor of Administration on the Benjamin Ames Kimball Foundation, the position he held until his retirement in 1963. Over the years his two courses in administration were heavily elected by juniors and seniors and were known as demanding but very worthwhile.

Professor Larmon was born in Red Oak, Iowa, on March 6, 1897 and lived most of his early years in Omaha, Neb. As a Dartmouth undergraduate he was one of the prominent members of his class, captaining the freshman and varsity tennis teams, winning his basketball letter, and serving as class treasurer and a member of Palaeopitus. He was a Rufus Choate Scholar and a member of Round Robin, Sphinx, and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He interrupted his undergraduate course to enlist in the Navy and served in the Quartermaster Corps from May 1917 to December 1918.

During his years in the President's Office, Mr. Larmon was executive secretary of the Alumni Fund, 1920-24, and the originator and first editor of The Bulletin. Later, while a member of the faculty, he served on the Dartmouth Athletic Council, headed the committee that made an extensive study of student social life, chairmanned the second Hopkins Center Planning Committee, and during the Administration of President Dickey was a member of the TPC subcommittee on plant planning, the executive committee of the Dartmouth Medical School Campaign, and the steering committee of the College's first Capital Gifts Campaign. For ten years, 1959-69, he was president of the Class of 1919.

In 1926 Governor Winant named Mr. Larmon a member of the state crime commission and he also assisted the governor in establishing the New Hampshire liquor commission. During World War II he was Director of New Hampshire's Office of Price Administration, 1942-44.

When the Department of Health, Education and Welfare was first established, President Eisenhower named him Assistant Secretary of the department, 195354, during which period he sometimes served as Acting Secretary. For the next three years he was a member of the National Heart Council of HEW's Public Health Service, and from 1959 to 1962 he was a member of the National Advisory Health Council.

Active in business as well as education and government affairs, Professor Larmon was for varying periods a director of the Northern Railroad, United Life and Accident Insurance Co., the Dartmouth National Bank, and the Rumford Press, of which he was board chairman in 1951-52. He was a trustee of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital for 17 years, and a consultant on administrative problems to several corporation presidents and boards.

Professor Larmon received Dartmouth's honorary A.M. degree in 1934 and New England College's honorary Doctorate of Civil Laws in 1963. The Dartmouth Alumni Council in 1966 honored him with the Dartmouth Alumni Award, in recognition of service to both the College and the nation.

Professor Larmon was married in 1938 to the former Katharine Graves of Concord, N. H. She survives him with their son John, of Columbus, Ohio, and daughter Jane, of Boston. Also surviving are two grandchildren and a brother, Sigurd S. Larmon '14 of New York City. Another brother, Park J. Larmon '16, died in 1957.

A memorial service was held in Rollins Chapel on January 8, with the Rev. Fred Berthold Jr. '45 officiating. President Kemeny and President Emeritus Dickey, as well as several Dartmouth Trustees and a large delegation from the Class of 1919, were among those present.

LT. COMDR. LEROY N. MCKENNEY, A.M. '46, who was Executive Officer of the Navy V-12 Unit at Dartmouth from 1943 to 1946, died December 5 at Jordan Hospital, Plymouth, Mass. He was 75. In recent years he made his home at 15 Sunset Road, Duxbury, Mass., where he was Assistant Superintendent of Schools before World War II.

Commander McKenney came to Hanover in May 1943 and had responsibility for organizing the nation's largest Navy V-12 Unit, a training school of 2000 Navy and Marine students. He served as Executive Officer and Assistant Professor of Naval Science until June 1946 when he retired from Navy service and was saluted by Dartmouth with the honorary A.M. degree.

A native of Brewer, Maine, he was a student at the University of Maine when the United States entered World War I. He enlisted in the U. S. Navy in June 1917 and in April 1918 was transferred to the sth Regiment, U. S. Marines, with which he served in France in the battles of Belleau Wood, Chateau Thierry, Soissons, St. Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne. He was decorated with the American Navy Cross, four Silver Stars, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Courragere, and the Victory Medal with five stare, and in addition received two personal citations from General John J. Pershing.

After the war, Commander McKenney completed his course at the University of Maine, from which he later received the M.A. degree in education. He was Submaster of Williams High School in Oakland, Me., from 1922 until 1927, when he went to Duxbury, Mass., to be Assistant Superintendent of Schools and Principal of Duxbury High School. In April 1943 he enlisted in the Naval Reserve, was sent to Columbia University with the rank of lieutenant to undergo special training for the Navy V-12 Program, and reported to Dartmouth in May 1943. After leaving Dartmouth in 1946 he turned to the field of hospital administration, received the M.H.A. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1949, and for twelve years prior to retirement in 1961 was ad- ministrator of the Sister Elizabeth Kenney Institute in Minneapolis, a hospital for crippling diseases.

Commander McKenney is survived by his widow, the former Grace Matthews; a son, Leroy Jr.; a daughter, Mrs. Robert E. Peterson of Westport, Conn.; and three grandchildren, one of whom is Robert E. Peterson Jr. '70. Robert B. Matthews Jr. '51 is a nephew. Funeral services were held in the Pilgrim Congregational Church, Duxbury, on December 8.

KENNETH BEAL, retired teacher and one of the three surviving members of the Class of 1899, died January 1, 1973 at South Shore Hospital, Weymouth, Mass., at the age of 93. For the past four years he had made his home at the New England Friends Home in Hingham, Mass., where he met his second wife, the former Miss Maude Fowler, and was married to her in January 1970. The first Mrs. Beal (Annie May Lopaus), to whom he was married for 62 years, died in 1965.

"K" Bears service to Dartmouth College and the Class of 1899 extended over more than 50 years, going back to his first period as class secretary, 1919-24. He returned to the secretaryship in 1958, became newsletter editor as well the next year, and in 1966, as class membership grew smaller, he assumed all the duties of the class officers, continuing until his eyesight failed recently.

"K" was born February 6, 1879 in Cohasset, Mass. As a Dartmouth undergraduate he was a Phi Beta Kappa student and became a member of Phi Delta Theta. His long teaching career began at Kenyon Military Academy, Gambier, Ohio in 1899.

H. 1901-02; Melrose, Mass., 1902-05; Salem, Mass., 1906-08; and Mechanic Arts High School, Boston, 1908-42. He then settled on a farm in South Newbury, N.

In 1934, Harcourt Brace published his book Grammar for Speaking and Writing.

"K" was active in church and Sunday School work all his life, and as he reported for the 1899 class book, "was a deacon here and there." While living in South Newbury he was a member of the school board.

In addition to his widow, "K" leaves four sons by his first marriage: Arthur R. of Pompano Beach, Fla.; K. Malcolm '28 of Coconut Grove, Fla.; William M. of Winchester, Mass.; and George '34 of Somerville, Mass. There are six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

1912

Cap Allen, as all classmates knew him, met a tragic death on November 5, 1972 when he was struck down by an automobile while crossing the street to a neighbor's house at dusk. He died several hours later.

HORACE EUGENE ALLEN was born at Swanton, Vt.,on July 19, 1890, and prepared for college at Kimball Union Academy. At Dartmouth he gave evidence of his editorial ability by serving, for two years each, on the staffs of The Dartmouth and Jack-o-Lantern, and also as one of the first editors of the Dartmouth AlumniMagazine's "Undergraduate Chair." An enthusiastic mountain climber and snowshoer, he became secretary of the Outing Club in his senior year. From Dartmouth he entered Harvard Law School, from which he received the LL.B. degree in 1915. He engaged in the practice of law in Springfield, Mass., and continued in the same until his death.

Limited service kept Cap out of training camps in World War I, but in the summer of 1918 he volunteered for a detachment of lawyers organized by the Army Service Corps, was commissioned a first lieutenant, and reported at Camp Upton for overseas service. The armistice beat out the embarkation order and Cap was discharged in December 1918.

Through the years Cap's practice was general and he was a partner since 1923 in the firm of Allen, Yerral, Appleton and Thompson. For 16 years he was treasurer of the Massachusetts Bar Association until, in 1947, he became vice president. As a member of the American Bar Association he was sent to the House of Delegates, 1946-50.He served on the Council of the National Conference of Bar Examiners and also on the Massachusetts Board of Bar Examiners and was a member of the Boston Bar Association. He was included in Who's Who in America.

Cap's political offices included chairman of the Springfield Republican City Committee, Public Administrator of Estates, member of the Civilian Contracts Review Board of the Springfield Ordnance District, president of the Horace Smith Fund for scholarships and student loans, and chairman of Longmeadow Future Planning Committee.

Cap's loyalty to Dartmouth and to the Class of 1912 was unlimited. Attendance at reunions was a regular pleasure for him and only the day before his death he was in New Haven for the Dartmouth-Yale football game. He kept up his interest in education by attending the Dartmouth Alumni College and this year was on hand for the Cape Cod Seminar. A staunch supporter of his college and a beloved classmate, he will be warmly remembered.

We all mourn his passing and our deepest sympathy goes to Swanhild and his sister, Mrs. Raymond Conner.

1914

CHARLES SHAW BATCHELDER, whose name and" life will always seem inseparably a part of the records of our Class of 1914, died in Reddington, Fla., on December 5, 1972, overtaken at age 80 by progressive diabetes.

Born in Dorchester, Mass., September 28, 1892, he came to Dartmouth from Dorchester High School with well-developed qualities of personality and talent that won him friends everywhere and recognition that carried on throughout his entire business, military, and civic activities of later years.

Somehow in college Charlie found time to play tennis in championship form, to make the college hockey team, to sing in the College Choir and Glee Club, to play in the musical comedy "Green Parasol," and, best of all, to play the piano wherever and whenever men gathered in fellowship.

Charlie, who grew up in his father's flag, tent, and awning business, carried it on for many years in Boston, Wollaston, and Quincy, Mass., as president of C. S. Batchelder and Co. and of other companies in related industries.

World War I found him in 1916 in the Royal Flying Corps, Guthry's Black Watch—crusaders then in 1917, in the U. S. Army Signal Corps, 301 st Regiment, and in the U. S. Air Force as a captain.

His postwar record of civic activities seems incredible and includes among others: Quincy Community Fund, Co-organizer and past vice president; Wollaston Post, American Legion, past commander; Quincy Red Cross, past director and drive chairman; Quincy Civic Association, director; Massachusetts PTA, past president; and Quincy Veterans Council, past commander.

Charlie became our Class Treasurer in 1950 and in this position served many years, earning the award of Treasurer of the Year in 1957, meanwhile originating the 1914 Memorial Book Fund now adopted by many other classes.

He is survived by his widow Jeannette (Lamond) Batchelder, whom he married in 1925; a daughter Jean, now Mrs. Richard R. Stackpole of Richardson, Texas; and a grandson. Mrs. Batchelder lives at 165 Marlboro St., Wollaston, Mass.

WILLIAM WALSH BRESLIN died on December 9, 1972, in Delaware County Memorial Hospital, Drexel Hill, Pa. Cause of death was heart failure complicated by kidney malfunction. He was 80 years old.

Bill was born in Waterford, N. Y., June 19, 1892. He graduated from Peekskill Military Academy in 1910 and from Dartmouth in 1914. During World War I he served in Europe as a Ist lieutenant in the United States Army.

Bill lived most of his adult life in Rutherford, N. J., until he retired from Wesley Associates advertising firm in New York City. Several years ago he moved to Upper Darby, Pa., where he lived with his oldest daughter Jean.

Although in critical condition and in the intensive care unit of the hospital, he anxiously awaited the Sunday, December 3, newspapers to read of Dartmouth's con- quest of the University of Pennsylvania. Among his most prized possessions were his badge and cane from the 50th Reunion in 1964.

Bill's wife died in 1964; he is survived by five children: Jean, Janet, Joyce, Bill, and Don. There are also 19 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

He was buried in Waterford, N. Y., on December 12. In lieu of flowers, the family asked for contributions to the Dartmouth Alumni Fund.

1915

ROY MARCHANT NORWOOD, of 399 Linebrook Road, Ipswich, Mass., Died December 6, 1972.

He was a cost engineer for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co. for many years and was also connected with Maverick Mills.

He is survived by a son, William '49; three daughters, Nancy, Jane, and Ann; 15 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

1916

PERCY CLIFFORD BURNHAM died suddenly on December 2.1, 1972 at Guadalajara, Mexico, just as he and Aline were about to celebrate their arrival with old friends of many winters. He was 79 years young. .

Perc came to Hanover from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, played freshman football, and was a member of Delta Tau Delta. He served as Class Treasurer, 1921-31, and was second in the sequence that ran Class dinners in New York until our 50th.

His career was divided between silk and investments in New York, and the armed services all over the world. With five other Sixteeners he started with J. H. & C. K. Eagle, Inc. and he wound up his silk cycle as vice-president and treasurer of Dundee Silk Corporation in September 1932. During the next decade he was associated successively with three investment firms—two of them were name partnerships of his own.

His first tour in the services (1917-19) was as a Lieutenant (j.g.) in the U.S.N.R.F., variously escorting supplies to the Azores, mines to Inverness, troops to France, and joining "no ship" at Vladivostok. In World War II he served as captain to Lieut. Colonel in the Army Transportation Corps based at New York from 1942-48 and thereafter to retirement in 1954 at the Seattle Port of Embarkation. In the process he visited virtually all seaport countries of Western Europe, the Mediterranean, India, and the Far East.

Perc really was wedded to the service for on April 2, 1949 he was married to Bessie Aline Beeland of Forest, Miss:, who also served. What a striking pair they made, coming cross-country to grace and keep so many of our reunions young.

Aline survives him, at home at 1534 Grand Avenue, Seattle. So does a sister Ruth. The sympathy of 1916 goes out to them both.

J.B.S.

1917

EMDON FRITZ JR. died in Marion, Mass., on November 28, 1972. "Em" took an active interest in athletics and was a member of the freshmen and sophomore tennis teams. He was a member of the team which included another excellent player of 1917, Karl Koeniger. On April 21, 1917, he enlisted in the U. S. Navy at Boston. After a brief period of service he was commissioned as ensign on November 27, 1917. After serving in various assignments on the U. S. steamships Massachusetts and Hildgard, he was discharged at New London, Conn., on January 13, 1919.

Em chose New York as an initial location for his business interests. From 1919 until 1923 he solicited advertising for the International Magazine Company. He decided to go into investment banking and joined the sales staff of Blair and Company. During this successful career as an investment banker, he rose to the position of vice president of the American Securities Corporation of New York. Some eleven years ago he decided to retire from business, sold his home in Locust Valley, Long Island, and moved to Manchester, Vt., where he and Mrs. Fritz built a home. For the winter months they decided to rent an apartment in Marion, Mass. to take advantage of the milder climate, but with the object of returning to Vermont in the early spring. At this location, Em suffered an unexpected stroke and passed away after a very short illness. The family was fortunate in being near our classmate, Dr. Raymond H. Baxter of that city. Your secretary has extended sympathy and condolences of the Class to his widow, and family.

PERNE RAWSON HUTCHINSON died November 22, 1972 in Concord, N. H., after a long illness. Perne entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1917 and remained with us until 1914, at which time he transferred to the University of New Hampshire. He graduated from that institution in 1917.

He is survived by three sons, Sewall C. '52, Laurence Hutchinson; a brother Almon, and a niece and nephew.

1919

1920

DR. ALLEN BARNARD PRESCOTT died September 30, 1972 at the Eisenhour Osteopathic Hospital in Colorado Springs after a brief illness. He had been a practicing osteopath for many, many years: in Denver, then in Hugo, and finally in Pueblo—all in Colorado.

Abe came to Hanover from Cleveland. Following his graduation from Dartmouth he entered the Kirksville (Mo.) College of Osteopathy and Surgery from which he graduated. Soon thereafter he settled in Denver. His main career, however, he spent in Hugo, Colo., far beyond the reaches of a modern hospital. There he handled everything that could come to a general practitioner—delivery of babies, emergency care, and the like. He even served for some time as health Officer for Lincoln County which covered a vast plains area in eastern Colorado. Such was the saga of service of this quiet, dedicated, serious-minded man.

WHITTON EVANS NORRIS died November 24, 1972 at the Arlington (Va.) Hospital, following a heart operation. He was 76 years old.

Whit first attended the University of Virginia and served in the French army during World War I with the University's ambulance corps. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre. Following the war he entered Dartmouth and graduated with the Class of 1923, having taken a year off for study in Paris. For several years he worked as a civil engineer and in 1931 went into teaching, first at New Hampton School for boys, then as headmaster of the Ashburnham School for boys.

1924

Born to the lovely wooded hills and lakes of New York's Adirondack Mts., where his father was a game warden, CHARLES ELMORE WOOD was raised on the "shores of Schroon Lake, and entered Dartmouth from the local high school there. His college nickname was "El." He was born December 12, 1901 and so just missed his 71st birthday; he died on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 1972.

The record is scanty, as a reading of the pages of the 40-Year Book will show, but it does provide a glimpse into the two sides of the man: a business man by necessity (real estate and insurance), and a love for the outdoors by choice. He was able to combine the two aspects successfully.

After graduation, Charlie learned the insurance business with Aetna, Century Indemnity Co., and the Connecticut General Life Insurance Co., through 1931.

He married Mary Belle (Pisley) in 1929. Their children are' Catherine, Peter, Susan and Penelope. After the depression, about 1933-34, Charlie was a forest ranger for New York State at his home base, Schroon Lake. In 1939 he was owner and manager of "Wood's On Schroon Lake," a summer hotel. He continued business in real estate and insurance.

Most of us saw Charlie for the last time, playing bridge and smoking a relaxed pipe at Bonnie Oaks over the Princeton game weekend. We know there were warnings of heart trouble, and were glad to know he was to spend the winter in Florida. His too-early passing leaves behind a large number of friends: residents and guests at the summer hotel, and classmates and family.

1925

CHARLES FRYE HAYWOOD died December 5, 1972 in Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He was born February 18, 1903 in Lynn, Mass., and came to Dartmouth from Lynn Classical High School.

Charlie was a vice president of the Lynn Historical Society, a past president of the Lynn Home for Aged Women, and a vestryman of St. Stephen's Memorial Episcopal Church. He served, as a member of the city council and on the urban renewal board, the park commission, and the draft board. He was secretary of the Whiting Club, a men's literary group.

Books written by Charlie were on a variety of subjects, but mostly connected with New England history and background. They include Yankee Dictionary, dedicated to his parents, the novel No Ship May Sail, You Need aComplete Rest, Eastward the Sea, Minutemen andMariners, and General Alarm.

Many of us also remember with pleasure his humorous accounts of his 1925 trip to Europe as crew member on a cattleboat and his experiences as a draftee in an Army tank division in World War II.

Charlie was a member of several legal groups and active in the Tedesco Country Club where he enjoyed golf. He belonged to the Marine Associates of the Peabody Museum and to the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

He is survived by his widow Dorothy, chief librarian of the Lynn Public Library, and two brothers, Henry S. and Richard M. '26. Funeral services were held in St. Stephen's Memorial Episcopal Church and burial was in Pine Grove Cemetery.

1927

LAMBERT CHARLES VAN AALST died September 3, 1972 at his home, 158-11 98th Street, Howard Beach, Long Island, of a coronary occlusion. He had been hospitalized for five weeks during the summer, but appeared to be on the mend when the fatal attack struck.

The names his parents gave him didn't seem ap- propriate for one of the most happy-go-lucky of the roughnecks of our generation. Van had a heart of gold and his friendship was something to be treasured.

Van was not one to boast of his prowess, and he never claimed to have been a star on that glorious football team of 1925, but he was a loyal second-stringer and I know that one of the happy moments of his life was his, attendance at the reunion they held in Hanover some years ago.

Van left Dartmouth before graduation, but got in another season of football at Canisius. He worked at different times with Macy's, Lewis & Conger, and with his father's firm, L & W Specialties Corporation. For a good many years before he retired in 1968 he was manager of the International Hotel at Idlewild (now JFK). There he encountered many notables from all parts of the world but, characteristically, was less impressed by most of them than they were with themselves.

Van's last letter to me was written August 28, less than a week before he died. After reporting on his hospitalization in intensive care he commented "Luck tho, was with me, no pain before or after or even in the hospital, but breathing was very difficult." Then he added this note, so typical of his attitude towards life and his fellow-men: "No more car for me. If something happened to me, I wouldn't want anyone hurt."

He is survived by his widow, the former Frances Ranft; her son, Frank Ranft, and daughter, Mrs. Agnes Gromley; also six grandchildren and his brother, William.

EDWARD CHARLES PURNELL had a heart attack September 29 while driving in Pinellas Park, Fla., and died before he could be taken to the ambulance. He and his wife had moved to 3980 101st Terr. N. in that city when he retired in 1970.

Ed was a native of Chicago and came to college from New Trier High and the Peddie School. At Dartmouth he led the Freshman Commons orchestra, played sax in the Barbary Coast Orchestra, and was a member of Sigma Chi. Although he left after one year, he was a devoted alumnus. His widow Estelle says the last thing he bought was a large picture of Dartmouth at the Dartmouth Club in New York.

Ed worked in Chicago all his life, first in the insurance brokerage business and, from 1950 on, in the fire extinguisher business. On his retirement he was district manager for Norris Industries, Fire & Safety Equipment Division.

He is survived by his widow Estelle.

Reported briefly in the December issue of this publication, more information has become available about our classmate EDWIN JAMES O'CONNOR, who succumbed last April after a long illness.

Born in Maiden, Mass., November 18, 1905, "Okie" was a graduate of Maiden High School, and came to Dartmouth from Hebron Academy. Captain of his freshman football team, he became a mainstay at tackle for three great seasons on the varsity.

He was a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity. Sphinx, and Green Key, and served on several class committees. In 1929 he was elected a member of the "revived" Undergraduate Fire Squad.

first as an instructor in the Machine Training School and later in Personnel. In recent years he taught in the Hartford School System and made his home at 14 Kenwood Drive, Manchester, Conn.

Okie will be remembered as a quiet, unassuming man, always pleasant and forthright. He will be greatly missed by all whose privilege it was to know him. Margaret and their son and daughter survive him.
