1912

George Geiser was a prominent lawyer in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He died in his sleep at his home in Orange, N.J., on January 11, 1976.

GEORGE WASHINGTON GEISER was bom January 31, 1890 at Easton, Pa. His preparation "for college included Lerch Academy and Mercersburg Academy-. At Dartmouth he was secretary of the Mercersburg Club and a member of the Banjo Club and of Beta Theta Pi. He did graduate study of law under a preceptor from 1913 to 1915, and studied at Franklin and Marshall in 1916. In 1951 he studied at Stevens Institute of Technology.

He enlisted on April 30, 1917 and, after training at the First Officers' Training Camp, was commissioned in August a second lieutenant of infantry, and assigned to the 316th Infantry, 79th Division. He went overseas in July 1918, participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive; was gassed and suffered shell concussion. He spent the remainder of the war in a base hospital, receiving his discharge on March 24, 1919.

George practised law at Easton for 20 years. Then for three years he was a plant attorney in High Ridge, N.J., and in Easton, for two more years he was with an aircraft corporation in Allentown, Penn. In 1946 he was with the Bureau of Aeronautics, U.S. Navy, in New York. There followed six years as an administrator with the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in Dover, N.J., retiring March 15, 1957.

He was admitted to the Pennsylvania and Federal Bars in 1916. He was a census supervisor, 1919-1920; district attorney for the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore, 1922-1934; assistant district attorney for Northampton County, Pa., 1924-1931; and legal advisor to registrants, for the U.S. Selective Service in Northampton County, 1940-1941.

1918

LESTER BLACKWELL GRANGER, 79, the retired executive director of the National Urban League, died January 9 in Alexandria, La.

Les was the League's director from 1941 until 1961. His work to integrate blacks during World War II was praised by two Presidents, and the national civil rights organization grew substantially under his direction. As of February 1, 1976 the Class has contributed over $2,000 from 200 participants. Rick is looking for 75 per cent participation from the Class of '75 and indicates that participation rather than a dollar amount is the key.

A delegation of cockroaches has risen and is commencing to carry away the preceding pages of this report. They still aren't quite sure what is trash and what is not. Perhaps I'm the one who doesn't know. Anyway, best wishes to you all until next month.

Les, a professional social worker, once described the black Americans' goals as "the right to work, the right to vote, the right to physical safety, and the right to dignity and self respect."

The third executive director of the league which was founded in 1910, he was born in Newport News, Va. His father, William Randolph Granger, was a ships cabin boy from Barbados who worked his way through Bucknell University and the University of Vermont to earn a medical degree. His mother, the former Mary L. Turpin, was a schoolteacher.

Les was the only one of six sons not to pursue a career in either medicine or law. After serving in the Army in France during World War I with the 92nd Infantry Division as a second lieutenant he went to work in 1919 for the New Jersey Urban League. He then taught school in North Carolina and New Jersey until 1934 when he went to work for the National Urban League in New York City.

World War II came seven years later, after his appointment as executive director, and during it he served as a special assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, traveling more than 60,000 miles.

He was awarded the Navy's highest civilian decoration, the Distinguished Civilian Service Award. President Harry Truman, upon presenting Les with the President's Medal of Merit, said Mr. Granger had contributed more than any other person to the effective utilization of Negro personnel in the service. President Eisenhower described him in 1961 as "a man of the highest character and integrity."

Lee was responsible for several major innovations within the league, including the "Litchpin Pilot Placement Project" that put blacks into significant jobs for the first time. The number of league affiliates grew from 41 to 63 during his tenure, the full-time staff increased from 216 to 456, and the annual budget went from $600,000 to $4.5 million.

Les worked within the system but was not hesitant to speak out against what he saw as its abuses. "We have fought against the attempt in the war industry to extend the physical segregation of negro workers from whites," he wrote. And criticizing a Navy "experiment" in the same units, Les once said: "The league sees no reason why the use of negro sailors, Marines, and Coast Guard members should be an 'experiment' in a democracy. Neither does the league approve the over-timid and frequently contradictory policies which the Navy has instituted."

The National Urban League's current executive director, Vernon E. Jordan Jr. said, "The contributions Mr. Granger made to the League and the nation were immense and helped alter the course of America. He worked effectively to institute opportunities for blacks when fair employment practices were regarded as a radical idea and he opened countless doors."

The funeral service was held January 13 in the Christ Chapel of the huge Riverside Church. President Dwight and Peg attended as did Chet Hulbert. Dwight said there about 300 people present. It was a most impressive ceremony and the assembled people were equally impressive.

(The Roar of November 21, 1973 would be worth rereading for a more personal and detailed summary of Les' career and philosophy than space permits here.)

Les was a trustee of St. Paul's College, Virginia, from 1960-1970. He was a member of the National Conference of Social Workers and president 1949-51 and of the International Conference of Social Workers and president from 1960-64.

Les was preceded at Dartmouth by two brothers, William R. '15 and Leo Y. '16. The Grangers were all track men and they helped earn their way by running a cleaning and pressing service. William and Leo finished the two-year course at Dartmouth Medical School and went on to become physicians. Scholastically Les won honorable mention in English and attained the Third Honor Group on his Junior year. "He was followed by two more brothers at Dartmouth, Lloyd M. '20 and Carl V. '23. This made five out of six Granger brothers who attended Dartmouth.

Les had no children and seems to have left no close relatives.

It appears to be inescapable after reading the foregoing recital of his myriad endeavors and accomplishments that Les was, as some have said, the greatest man in our Class.

1918

LEON CARL STOWELL, adopted member of 1918, died January 5 in New Rochelle, N.Y.

Leon had served as chief executive of both the Dictaphone Corporation and Underwood Corporation and as such had lectured at Tuck School.

He is survived by his widow Ruth, daughter Sally, and son Samuel, to all of whom the Class extends its sympathy.

1920

SALTEAU FREDERICK CALHOUN passed on August 27, 1975 in Winchester, Mass., where he had lived for many years at 33 Dix Street with is wife Lucile who survives him. Had he lived a month longer he would have attained the age of 78.

Cal's career at Dartmouth was interrupted by an illness which required successful surgery by Dr. Lahey in Boston. Thereafter, he attended Massachusetts State at Amherst and took his B.A. degree in 1922. In 1923 he married Lucile Schmickle, a Mt. Holyoke graduate, and soon thereafter they went to Los Angeles, where he was in the employ of a large engineering firm. While on the coast he was an active participant in Dartmouth affairs and carried on graduate studies in accounting at the University of Southern California. In 1933 the Calhouns returned to the Boston area where Cal was associated with several different businesses in a managerial capacity before undertaking the work of a certified public accountant with the Federal government until he retired at age 70 in 1967.

Cal never lost interest in Dartmouth and his participation, which started in California, continued while he was a resident in Winchester in the Boston area.

He was a member of the Masons; an active church member, serving the First Congregational Church in Winchester as an auditor; and was past president of the Boston Chapter of the Federal Government Accountants Association. He was also a member of several other accounting organizations, including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant.

He was a man of many interests, especially enjoying the theatre, music, and books. He was an active gardener and a devoted family man. He and Lucile had one child, Nancy Frederica, who also attended Mt. Holyoke and then went on to a successful career as an account executive in New York City. Until her death in 1974 she maintained very close ties with her mother and father.

To Lucile we extend our deepest sympathy in her bereavement. Her loss is ours, too.

1922

DONALD CYRIL SPAULDING, 75, died November 22, 1975, in Florida where he and wife Juanita have lived for the past 18 years. Their home for several recent years has been 1985 N. Habiscus Drive, North Miami.

Don was a native of Bainbridge, N.Y., and he came to Dartmouth from Washington Academy, Salem, N.Y. He was with us through junior year and he had many friends among classmates.

His 35-year career was entirely in the insurance business. He began in 1922 with the Glens Falls Insurance Co. in the headquarters office and eight years later he became special agent for the company in Baltimore. In 1935 he started an association of 22 years with the Jamestown Mutual Insurance Co. During these years he was the company's special representative and he lived in Scotch Plains, N.J.; Darby, Pa.; and Richmond, Va. He retired from business in 1957.

Don's first wife, the former Laura J. McCarthy, whom he married in 1930, died in 1947. In 1951 he married the former Juanita K. Ward. She survives him together with his son Donald Jr. and his daughters Mary K. (Mrs. T. F. McNichol) and Ann D. (Mrs. W. D. Tanner). The Class joins them in sadness.

1923

THOMAS ROHAN COUGHLIN died December 13, 1975 following a lingering illness.

A native of Bristol, Conn., Tom came to Dartmouth from its local high school. He was a member of Sigma Chi. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army from September 1942 to June 1945. Prior to his retirement in 1965 he had been employed for 24 years by New Departure - Hyatt Division of General Motors.

Tom's only survivor is his widow the former Anna Dzekosky to whom the Class of 1923 extends its deepest sympathy.

FREDERICK ADOLPH MUEHLECK died on December 4, 1975 at his home in Phoenicia, N.Y.

A native of Hoboken, N.J. Fred came to Dartmouth from the Pauling School. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa. After graduation he attended the Yale School of Forestry where he received his M.F. degree in 1925.

After his retirement as assistant superintendent for purchasing and traffic personnel at Western Electric, Fred worked for seven years on the Shandaken Planning Board, five years as chairman, to introduce land management in the form of a zoning ordinance to preserve the quality of that Catskill Park community which had been growing without restriction or direction. It was uphill work as regulation of any kind was anathema to the local citizenry. Just before he died however a final ordinance was under consideration by the Town Board. Unfortunately, without Fred's drive, it has still to be adopted.

Fred's first wife died in 1946. In 1949 he married the former Helen Boyd Duggan who survives him. Helen writes: "The 50th Reunion of 1923 was a great event for Fred and for me, since I had the pleasure of meeting some of the classmates of whom he had spoken so many times. Fred had such a good time and was planning on making the 55th. It is good one cannot see around the corner."

In addition to his widow Helen, Fred's survivors include two children by his first marriage, four stepchildren, four grandchildren, and seven stepgrandchildren. The Class of 1923 extends to all of his family its deepest sympathy in their great loss.

1926

Dartmouth College and the Class of 1926 have lost one of their most loyal and dedicated members with the death of ROBERT DENNISON SALINGER on February 2, 1976 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston after waging a long and gallant struggle against a very debilitating case of emphysema.

Bob was born in Boston July 14, 1903, but spent a good part of his life in Newton, Mass. He followed his father and three uncles to Dartmouth after graduating from the Newton High School where he was a prominent member of his Class of 1922. In college Bob was well known and active in undergraduate affairs. Among his other activities he was manager of the Swimming Team, vice president of the Interfraternity Council, president of the Newton Club, and a member of Phi Gamma Delta, Casque and Gauntlet, and Green Key.'

After graduation, Bob went, with several other members of his Dartmouth class, to the Harvard Law School from which he received his LL.B (now J.D.) degree in 1929, and later became a member of the American Bar Association.

He began his career in the practice of law in 1930 with association in the Boston firm of Fish, Richardson and Neave, noted patent attorneys. After this experience in patent law, he joined the legal department of the United Shoe Machinery Company in 1932, was appointed its general attorney in 1955, and was elected vice president and general counsel and a member of the board of directors in 1960.

Bob had always taken an active part in Dartmouth alumni affairs, attending the various functions of the Boston Association, all of his class reunions, and the many football game gatherings. He was chairman of 'he 1926 reunion committee in. 1941, class treasurer 941-46 and became secretary-chairman of his class in '946. He would, undoubtedly, have continued in the active leadership of the class affairs over the following years had he not been assigned in 1947 as his company's lawyer to defend United Shoe Machinery in the famous anti-trust suit brought against them by the Justice Department of the United States Government and in which he was deeply involved even up to the time of his retirement in 1968.

Bob and his wife Dot were great devotees of golf and bridge from which he found so much enjoyment, friendships and relaxation from the pressures of his heavy responsibilities of business and professional life. He was a member of the Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Mass., and the Bald Peak Colony Club in New Hampshire.

Bob and Dorothy Schuck were married at Riverside, Calif., in June of 1929. She and their daughter Barbara (Mrs. Robert Fornshell), son Richard 8., and five grandchildren survive him.

Bob Salinger possessed a deep sensitivity, sound judgement and total integrity that commanded the trust of all who knew him or ever worked with him. A brilliant lawyer, he pursued a distinguished career and was widely respected by his business peers. With it all he had the rare gift of a keen sense of humor.

For those who have known him through life he leaves a lasting heritage of honor and respect which time will never erase. The esteem and admiration in which he was held was evidenced by the overflowing of his friends and associates in the Chapel of the Newton Cemetery at his Memorial Service.

Rev. Boyd M. Johnson '53, Minister of the Union Church of Waban, who conducted the service paid a fitting tribute in saying, "One of his great involvements was Dartmouth College. In the tradition of his family, he graduated from the institution and continued to support it with his talents, time, and financial backing....... We are thankful for all the kindly deeds and thoughts, the love freely given, the truth which have passed from his life into lives of others and made the world richer for his presence."

The Class of 1926 was represented at the service by Gardner Brown, Russ and Betty Clark, Bob Cleary. Hub and Det Harwood, Bill Hughes, Don and Libby Norstrand, Walt and Billie Rankin and Carl Schipper.

The Class extends its heartfelt sympathies to Bob's family in this loss we all share.

1928

Due to a physical disability, Charlie had to retire in 1966 and he and Blim divided their time between their home in Delray Beach and a summer home in Jaffrey Center, N.H.

Born February 5, 1907 in Mount Vernon, N.Y., the son of a physician, Charlie came to Dartmouth from Mount Vernon High School. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Dragon. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia in 1932.

Charlie served five years in the Navy from 1941-46, including two years on the hospital ship USS Relief, and rose to the rank of commander.

After interning at Bellevue Hospital and being a resident surgeon there and at Presbyterian Hospital, Charlie started his own practice in 1937, and became an instructor in urology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the same year. He also practiced at Northern Westchester Hospital and at one time was chief of urology at Mount Vernon Hospital and at Grasslands Hospital.

1929

CHARLES BEAUCLERC GAYNOR, who wrote sketches, lyrics, and music for Broadway shows, died of a heart attack in Washington on December 18, while visiting friends in order to see a new musical show at the Kennedy Center.

Charlie became interested in musicals at the age of 14 when an aunt took him to see George White's "Scandals" in Boston. As he later told the NewYorker, "I went out of my mind with joy. After that I thought of nothing but musical shows. I went to Dartmouth because I wanted to write the Carnival Show there, and I did, twice." His two successful Carnival shows were The Green Peach in 1928 and DoubleTrouble in 1929.

After graduation he spent three years in Vienna studying music under Franz Lehar and Edmund Eysler. Back in this country during the Depression he coached singers and wrote college songs for Fred Waking's radio program. For several years he wrote revues for the Indianapolis Civic Theatre, including Lend an Ear. This was later put on by the Pittsburgh Playhouse and by a summer stock company in Cohasset. Many years later the show opened in Los Angeles and in 1948 came to Broadway, playing for 460 performances. The cast included Carol Channing.

In reviewing Lend an Ear Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times wrote, "From first to last this is the most enjoyable bantam revue that has dissipated the normal boredom of Broadway for quite a long time." One critic wrote that Charlie's success was "probably unique in Dartmouth alumni achievement."

During World War II Charlie served as an intelligence officer in the Signal Corps but continued song-writing and wrote two numbers, "I Lost My Little Glass Slipper" and "The Horse With the Hansom Behind" for Herminoe Gingold's long-run London revue, Sweeter and Lower.

After the war he did special material for Jane Pickens and wrote Show Girl, a revue starring Carol Channing. He was last represented on Broadway by Irene, which ran for 605 performances at the Minskoff Theater.

All who knew Charlie will regret the passing of this talented, "slight, leprechaunish man," as the NewYork Times obituary described him.
