MATTHEW WASHINGTON BULLOCK died December 17 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Julia B. Gaddy, in Detroit.
Former chairman of the Massachusetts State Parole Board and one of the first blacks to be prominent as a football coach, Matt Bullock was an outstanding figure among Dartmouth graduates of his time. When Dartmouth conferred the honorary Doctorate of Laws on him in June 1971, the citation said, in part: "Your life is a testimonial that faith, hard work, and perseverance can overcome all obstacles. You were born of slave parents who could neither read nor write. Fleeing the South, your parents came to Massachusetts with total assets consisting of seven children and ten dollars in cash. You started a new century by coming to Dartmouth entirely on your own. Your very active undergraduate career was capped by that memorable football game in which you helped to spoil the opening of the Harvard Stadium. To show that there were no hard feelings you returned to Harvard the next year to study law."
Matt Bullock was born in Dabney, N.C., on September 11, 1881. Coming to Boston at the ageof 8, he attended Everett High School and entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1900. As an undergraduate, he played end on the varsity football team for three seasons and was an honorable mention on Walter Camp's All-American team. He also was a track letterman, sang in the Glee Club and College Choir, and was a member of Palaeopitus. While at Harvard Law School from 1904 to 1907, he coached football at Massachusetts Agricultural College in Amherst and then at Maiden High School. With his LL.B. from Harvard, he joined the faculty of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., teaching history and Latin in the preparatory school and economics and sociology in the college for four years. He then practiced law in Atlanta for three years and from 1915 to 1917 was Dean of Alabama A & M College for Negroes in Huntsville. During World War I he served with the YMCA in France.
After the war, he settled in Boston as executive secretary of the Boston Urban League, 1919-21, and also launched a distinguished legal career that extended over thirty years until his retirement in 1949. Governor Fuller appointed him to the Massachusetts Parole Board in 1927 and he served on that Board under nine governors and was its chairman from 1944 to 1949. During those years he also was Assistant to the Commissioner of Correction and Administrator of the Interstate Compact for Probationers. In 1945, at the close of World War II. he was named by Secretary Of the Navy Forrestal to serve on a six-man commission to visit naval installations in the Pacific to investigate racial relations among enlisted men and officers. The report of this commission marked the start of racial integration in the U.S. Navy.
After retirement, Matt Bullock devoted his energies to the Bahai World Faith, of which he was a member for more than 25 years. At his own expense he traveled more than 100,000 miles, to many centers in Europe, Asia Africa, the West Indies, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
His interest in Dartmouth was undiminished over the years, and he was an active and beloved member of the Class of 1904. He served as class agent for a period an established the Jesse and Amanda Bullock Scholarship Fund in honor of his parents.
His community and social activities were numerous, including the Boston Center of Adult Education, For Hall Forum, Boston Zoning Board, YMCA, 20th Century Association, United Negro College Fund, and Whispering Willows Summer Camp, of which he was board chairman in the 19405.

FRANK EDGAR BAILEY, former Professor of History, Dean, and Acting President of Kenyon College, died December 25 at Gambier, Ohio, after a brief illness.
He prepared for Dartmouth at Massena High School and Monson Academy and, after graduation, earned his master's and doctor's degrees at Harvard. He served as a lieutenant commander in the Navy in the European and Mediterranean theaters during World War II.
Frank went to Kenyon in 1947 as dean of men, after teaching history at Mount Holyoke College and M.I.T. He had not completed two full years as dean and professor of history when the tragic burning of Old Kenyon Hall occurred. In spite of a disc problem in his back, he left his sick-bed to assist in the firefighting and rescuing of lives. Standing on his feet that long night when he' should have been in traction severely complicated his injury.
In 1956 President Gordon K. Chalmers died, and Frank was named Acting President. One of his colleagues recalls that "Bailey really held Kenyon College together when Gordon Chalmers died. It was a very difficult time for faculty and students' morale."
After Franze Lund assumed Kenyon's presidency in 1957, Bailey resumed his duties as Dean. "What really impressed me was his complete integrity, honesty, and openness in dealing with faculty and students. His concern for students allowed them unlimited time as individuals in his office when they had problems," recalls retired Professor of Economics Paul Titus.
Bailey ended his term as dean in 1963 to resume teaching history, which he did until his retirement in 1968. On his farm less than a mile east of Gambier, he spent much of his time raising Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
When Frank Bailey retired as professor of history, Kenyon awarded him an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. It was announced at the same time that he had been elevated to Professor of History Emeritus as well, and the commencement audience burst into a standing ovation.
He is survived by his wife Carolyn, his daughter Ann, his son Robert, a sister, and six grandchildren. To them 1926 extends its heartfelt sympathy for their and the Class's loss.
