MYRON ELLIS WITHAM, who won Dartmouth football immortality by leading the team that first defeated Harvard and thus spoiled the dedication of the new Harvard Stadium in 1903, died March 8 at Burlington, Vt. He was 92.
Witham had a long career of both coaching and of teaching engineering and mathematics. The most notable coaching of the former All-American quarterback was done at the University of Colorado from 1920 to 1932. There in 12 seasons he had two undefeated teams and an overall record of 60 wins, 24 losses, and 7 ties. While at Colorado he also taught in the engineering school for eight years and then was full-time coach until he left in 1932 to become assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Vermont. Retiring at Vermont in 1945 at the age of 65, he then became professor of mathematics at nearby St. Michael's College for another nine years. A second retirement in 1954 was of short duration, because one year later he was recalled for a two-year term of teaching and as late as 1960 he was teaching calculus at the summer session. St. Michael's in 1960 honored him with its Doctorate of Laws.
Myron Witham was born at Pigeon Cove, Mass., October 29, 1880 and entered Dartmouth after attending Gloucester High School and Phillips Exeter Academy. He was quarterback on the Dartmouth varsity football team for three seasons, captaining the famous 1903 team and reaching his pinnacle as a Walter Camp selection for that year's All-American team. He was also on the track and baseball teams, and was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and Casque and Gauntlet.
After teaching and coaching at Mercersburg Academy for one year, he returned to Dartmouth to get his engineering degree in 1906. During 1905-06 he also was graduate manager and assistant football coach. He coached at Purdue in 1906 and then for 14 years was engaged primarily in engineering until he was invited to the University of Colorado in the dual capacity of engineering professor and football coach.
In Colorado he served as president of the Dartmouth Club of the Great Divide in 1926-27. He maintained a lifelong interest in Dartmouth and since 1964 had served as Bequest Chairman for the Class of 1904.
Myron Witham was married in 1911 to the former Marie Tobin, who survives him with one son and five daughters. Mrs. Tobin resides at 348 College Street, Burlington, Vt. 05401.
