Faculty

FLETCHER LOW '15, Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, former big league baseball player, state and town legislator, and VISTA volunteer in his mid-70s, died unexpectedly in Hanover June 6, at the age of 80.

After graduation Professor Low embarked on the first two of the several careers which kept occurring throughout his lifetime: he joined the Boston Braves and played in the World Series his first season out; and that same fall of 1915 started graduate work at Columbia University, where he earned both his master's and doctoral degrees.

He returned to the College in 1917 as an instructor of chemistry, going back to professional baseball for the next two summers until an arm injury wrote finis to that career. His keen interest in sports remained, however, and in 1954 the Dartmouth College Athletic Council honored Professor Low for his 18 years as a member of the Faculty Committee on Athletics and of the Council, the longest term of service but one in the history of the College.

During his 43 years of teaching, the last 26 as a full professor, he served devotedly the College, his Class, and the community, as well as his students. He was Class Agent for 1915 for two years and Class Treasurer for five. He was a member of the Hanover Finance Committee from 1937 to 1944; of the Hanover Board of Education from 1941 to 1950, for three years as chairman; of the town's Board of Selectmen from 1950 to 1964, ten years as chairman. He was active in many official capacities at the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College. He was a trustee of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital for five years and of the Howe Library for 20.

Retirement for Professor Low meant, rather than increased concentration on library or laboratory, golf course or trout pool, a renewed quest for fresh fields of endeavor. He ran successfully for the New Hampshire State Legislature, where he represented the citizens of Hanover from 1961 to 1966. But this failed to suffice as adequate outlet for his energies, and a notice about VISTA programs enclosed with a retirement paycheck in 1966 led to his becoming a Volunteer In Service For America.

"I join3d VISTA partially because I am a man who has been used to doing all my life," he said later. "There I was at 73, perfectly able and doing nothing. Then I heard about VISTA. I thought the program was a great idea. It was a 'something' job that I could get started on."

The "something" job became three years of teaching and tutoring young men - in the words of VISTA's charge - "who are not sharing in this nation's promise" at the Tremont Job Corps Center in Townsend, Tenn. Professor Low called it "overcoming years of poverty, especially poverty of the mind."

He found continuity in his work, despite the world that separated teaching chemistry at an Ivy League college and tutoring trainees who couldn't add or subtract. "I know young America - its aspirations, fulfillments, and disappointments. They are the same in the Job Corps as they are at Dartmouth. And the feeling of understanding between teacher and pupil is the same, too."

Professor Low was married in 1916 to the former Margery Story, who died almost 15 years ago. Their only son, David '41, died in 1956, and they lost a daughter Georgia at the age of six. Professor Low is survived by two daughters, Nancy of Boston, Mass., and Joanna (Mrs. Donald W. Publicover) of Framingham, Mass., and two grandsons.

Graveside services were held in the Old Dartmouth Cemetery on June 8.

FRANCIS WILLIAM GRAMLICH, A.M. ’48, Stone Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, died of a heart attack at his home in Hanover on June 4. He was 61.

One of the more dynamic members of the Dartmouth faculty, his courses always drew sizable enrollments and his open nature and rapport with students involved him in many activities outside the classroom. This year he was teaching courses in The Philosophy of Human Nature and The Philosophy of Education. He had spent the winter term at the University of Edinburgh where he was the first director of a philosophy study program for Dartmouth undergraduates under the Foreign Study Program.

Professor Gramlich, who joined the Dartmouth faculty 33 years ago, was a founding co-director of a Comparative Studies Center which was established at Dartmouth in 1963 under a $675,000 grant from the Ford Foundation and which was a prelude to the College's current Comparative Studies major. He also was a former director of the East Asian Language and Area Studies Center and a former chairman of the Faculty Committee on Educational Planning when that body did the planning for Dartmouth's Summer School, inaugurated in 1963 as a prologue to the College's introduction this year of year-round operation.

Professor Gramlich represented the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Dartmouth's Charter Night dinner celebrating the 200th anniversary of the granting of its founding charter on December 13, 1769. He was co- chairman of plans for Dartmouth's "Canadian Year" program held in 1967 in conjunction with the Centennial of the British North American Act which established Canada's independence. He was also a former member of the Committee Advisory to the President and the Ad Hoc Committee on Investment Objectives.

He was associated for many years as a teacher with the summer program in liberal arts conducted annually at Dartmouth for executives of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co.

Professor Gramlich was co-editor of two textbooks. Philosophic Problems and The Problems of Ethics. In 1962-63 he spent the academic year doing research at the C. C. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, and in 1965 he pursued his studies in Kyoto, Japan.

Born in Buffalo, N.Y., on October 12, 1911, Professor Gramlich was graduated summa cum laude from Princeton in 1933, where he earned his master's degree one year later and his Ph.D. in 1936. He began his academic career teaching clinical psychology at Canisius College in Buffalo and served for three years as psychologist for the Buffalo public schools. He also was consulting psychologist for the Park School and was associated with the University of Buffalo's Child Guidance Laboratory and the E. J. Meyer Memorial Hospital Psychiatric Clinic.

He joined the Dartmouth faculty as assistant professor in 1940. During World War II he was an officer in the U.S. Navy, serving as a clinical psychologist. In 1945 he was chief psychologist for the Neuropsychiatric Service at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Corvallis, Oregon.

Professor Gramlich was promoted to full professor at Dartmouth in 1948, receiving at that time the College's honorary master's degree. He was named to the Stone Professorship, one of the College's oldest endowed chairs, in 1960.

He is survived by his widow, the former Caro MacArthur of Bowmansville, N.Y.; a son, Francis C. Gramlich, a graduate student at Stanford, who was studying in Taiwan at the time of his father's death; and a daughter, Caroline, who recently completed a year of study in France prior to entering Radcliffe College in the fall.

A memorial service was held June 8 in the 1902 Room of Baker Library, with Fred Berthold Jr. '45, Preston Kelsey Professor of Religion, presiding. Tributes were spoken by several faculty colleagues and by one of Professor Gramlich's students.

1902

CHARLES HOWARD DUDLEY of Hanover, for 25 years a local sporting-goods merchant and for 40 years president of Interlaken Camps, Inc., died May 18 at the Hanover Convalescent Center, at the age of 95.

Born October 29, 1877, Mr. Dudley entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1901 but has long been affiliated with the Class of 1902, which he served as Secretary from 1969 to 1972.

At Dartmouth he became a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Kappa Kappa, a medical fraternity. Mr. Dudley completed three years at the Dartmouth Medical School, which he left because of the demands of his Hanover business, a camping outfitting firm he had organized as an undergraduate.

Mr. Dudley married Ida Louise Ockerblad of Burlington. Vt., in 1904. Mrs. Dudley died in January at the Hanover Convalescent Center, four months after they had celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary.

In 1923 the Dudleys founded the Interlaken Camp for Girls in Croyden, N.H., which they operated together for 40 years. Mr. Dudley was a former president of the New Hampshire Camp Directors Association and a director of the New England and American Camping Associations. He was a trustee of Franconia College and of Dow Academy.

Mr. Dudley is survived by four sons: Charles M. '29, H. Andrew '33, Robert, and Bernard; and a daughter, Mrs. Joseph E. Casey. Among the 14 grandchildren and five great grandchildren who survive are Joseph E. Casey Jr. '63 and Carol L. Dudley, Vassar '71, who was an exchange student at the College for one year.

Memorial services for Mr. Dudley were held at the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College.

ROBERT CUSHMAN CLARK died May 19 in the Brattleboro (Vt.) Memorial Hospital. He was born in West Brattleboro on October 3, 1878. Two brothers had preceded him at Dartmouth, where he was one of a group which roomed in Wentworth for all four years. For his senior year, Bob elected to take the first year of the Tuck School program. In college he became a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

His long career in banking began in 1906 as a bookkeeper with the Vermont National Bank in Brattleboro. Following several promotions, he was appointed by Governor Redfield Proctor in 1923 as State Commissioner of Banking and Insurance. Three succeeding governors reappointed him to his position. In the financial crisis of the early thirties he won national distinction for his handling of the situation. In 1934 he resigned this position to accept the offer as treasurer of the bellows Falls Trust Company, a position which he held until 1937 when he was elected president. He retired president in 1959, but continued as chairman of the board until 1972.

Bob's first wife died in 1939, and he later married Mrs. Jessie Watkins. who was with him at all the later unions of the Class. She survives him, with her son Douglas Watkins.

Bob was a devout churchman, and served as deacon in the churches he attended in Montpelier and Bellows Falls. His record of public service is outstanding. While in Montpelier he served one term as president of the National Association of Supervisors of State Banks, and one term as president of the National Association of Securities Commissioners. He was for over fifty years one of four trustees of the Brattleboro Retreat; a director of the Brattleboro Home for the Aged for many years; a trustee of the New England Kurn Hattin Homes, and treasurer from 1934 to 1968. In addition he was a Mason, a Rotarian, and an Odd Fellow.

Bob was quiet and reserved, but far from being uninteresting. He was a loyal Dartmouth alumnus and class member, with a long record of attendance at reunions. Since the establishment of the Alumni Fund his card shows no omissions except for two years shortly after the start.

CARROLL WORTHEN DAVIS died April 13, 1973, at his trailer home in Paradise, Calif., the oldest alumnus of the College since February 12. He entered with us in 1898, as did two others of the same surname, and soon acquired the nickname by which he was known to his classmates as long as he lived. He worked hard to pay his own way, often milking cows at an outlying farm while the rest of us were still asleep. One of his ventures was to go to all the dormitories in the early evening to sell soap to any and all. Thus the nickname, "Soap."

His ambition was to become an engineer, yet somehow he managed to make the 1902 baseball team, and later appear in the college squad. Nevertheless he stayed with us academically, and for his senior year was accepted for the first year in the Thayer School. He received the B.S. degree from the College in 1902, and after completing the second Thayer year won the C.E. degree in 1903.

He added practical experience as superintendent for the Hastings Paving Co., and as general superintendent of construction for the Harlem Construction Co., both of New York City. In 1910 he moved to California and began to change to business management. He was in Orland until 1926 when he moved to Paradise where he lived the remainder of his life. His only survivor is his son Morton, who accompanied him to reunion in 1972.

His loyalty to Class and College was noteworthy. Heprobably held the long-distance record for attendance atreunions, though possibly challenged by his close friendPlumer after the latter moved to Hawaii. A generousdonor to the Alumni Fund, his gift was often designatedin part for memorials to classmates, particularly tofellow members of the 1902 baseball team. He liked towatch baseball and football games directly or indirectly.In his own community he was famous for his preferencefor pinochle.

After graduating from Olivet, he undertook the manufacture of time switches in South Bend, Ind. Later he went into real estate sub-divisions, and developing 18- hole golf courses. Sometime before 1930, he located in Pasadena, Calif., as a realtor, and continued in that line until retired in 1958.

He was author of a book, The End Result, on the subject of the U.S. banking system.

Ed was married in 1909 to Laverne Lane, a graduate of Oberlin. They have three children, Helen, Charles and Marjorie, and several grandchildren, as well as several great-grandchildren. As Ed expressed himself, "The children are all close to each other and to us."

Chuck was born in Columbus, Ohio. He entered Dartmouth from Pleasantville High School. He began his college career in precocious Co. I of the Student Army Training Corps. As a member of Phi Sigma Kappa, he was a well-known classmate, noted not only for his spirited football ability but equally for his cheerfulness and his sincere friendship. His manifest loyalty to Dartmouth, continued throughout his life.

Beginning his long career in the petroleum industry with two years spent in the Texas oil fields, Chick then joined the Shell Oil Corp., served in several managerial positions, and came to Keene, N.H., in 1947 as a franchised distributor for Cheshire County under the name Keene Distributors. A longtime member of the Petroleum Institute and past chairman of the New Hampshire organization, he was also a trustee of Elliot Community Hospital and a past director of the Keene Country Club.

We best remember Chick in his Palaeopitus cap rather than under a football helmet - a modest man, a leader in class affairs, a great athlete, a good friend. We will miss him greatly.

Chick's survivors include his widow, the former Hope Thornton; a daughter, Mrs. Patricia B. Wright of Keene; a son Thornton of Spokane, Wash., and six grandchildren.

SOLON DAVID COHN died of a heart attack April 12 at St. Francis Hospital in Miami Beach, Fla. Sol was a paraplegic for the last two and a half years of his life but with all the courage in the world he had still hoped to make it to his beloved Hanover for our 50th.

We know comparatively little of Sol's early business and professional life. We do have a scrapbook note that in 1931 he was practicing law in New York and Brooklyn. In 1957, Irish Flanigan met him in New York while he was with the Stock Exchange firm of Cohen, Simonson and Company. Previously he had spent several years in real estate and insurance. In 1967 he retired and in 1968 he removed to Florida where he spent his remaining years.

1924

PRENTISS BROWNELL GALLUP died May 11, 1973 at home after a lengthy illness with respiratory troubles. He was recently described by a classmate as "One of God's noblemen," when sending us a full press report. Many have reasons to agree.

Pren was born September 29, 1902 in Holyoke where he spent much of his life. All four sons and Pren attended Kent School. His family are well-known for their clothing stores in Meriden and Bridgeport (Conn.); both were sold some years ago. Pren had managed the Holyoke store since November 1, 1924 until he retired to live in South Hadley. He left Dartmouth before graduation in 1924 but graduated in 1925. He married Evelyn Crocker in 1927; they lived in Bridgeport until 1938 or later. Pren was treasurer of the family business in 1944, living in Holyoke after his father's death. The business "developed into one of the best-known men's clothing stores in the Connecticut Valley."

There are four sons; John G. '49, William, David, and Augustus T. II. The current press report gives many details of his business and personal life, so much more than appear modestly in our 40-year book. Briefly: Pren was President of the Holyoke Dartmouth Club, 1951-52; active in Rotary, Elks, Boy Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, all in Holyoke. Fourteen grandchildren and three nephews survive, as well as Evelyn. After a memorial service on May 19 Pren was cremated.

We all have memories of some Classmates who were with us only a very short time. NORMAN CORNELL HILBORN was one of those, having transferred to Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute the first semester of our sophomore year, February 1922.

We have word from his widow that Norm died April 9, 1973 in Englewood, Fla. We have an empty file and no information other than that he was a sales engineer. He was born in Waterloo, Canada, May 6, 1900. He came to us from Erasmus Hall High School, New York City, and in 1938 was in that general area, living on Long Island.

It is our hope to keep in touch with his widow whose nameand address are being added to our file and to Jim Reid's concern. A Memorial Book has been purchased in Norm's memory.

Step by step no promise could have been better kept: A Harvard doctorate, four years as research fellow with Linus Pauling at California Institute of Technology, study in England on a Guggenheim fellowship, and from 1937 a member of the University of Chicago's Chemistry Department. He was made a full professor in 1950 and became famous for his contributions as a researcher, writer and teacher in recreating the theory of organic chemistry. He fulfilled without sign of strain or vanity a judgment expressed by Dr. Pauling in 1938 to Prof. Hartshorn, his Dartmouth teacher, that "there is no other man in the world who has a similar grasp of both organic chemistry and the quantum mechanics."

Bill wrote two books, The Theory of Resonance and Advanced Organic Chemistry, plus many articles on physical-organic chemistry, valence, the theory of resonance, etc.

In 1934 Bill married Betty Clayton of Alhambra, Calif., and she accompanied him on all his travels. When multiple sclerosis forced him to retire seven years ago, he was made a professor emeritus by the University of Chicago. Illness prevented him from indulging his hobbies of photography and hiking, but he and Betty listened to classical music on FM and shared good reading and good conversation.

Bill is survived by Betty and their son and daughter, both of whom followed in the footsteps of their father in being interested in chemistry. He is also survived by his nephew James Wall '59.

The Class and College join Betty and her children in deepest bereavement.
