Faculty

LOUIS MORTON, 61, Daniel Webster Professor ofHistory and one of the nation's foremost militaryhistorians, died February 12 at the Mary FletcherHospital in Burlington, Vt. He had been on leave forthis academic year.

Writer teacher, administrator. Professor Morton was "... the Department's elder statesman," said Chairman F. David Roberts, "... There must be countless Dartmouth students who remember the wit, the clear penetrating analysis, and the engaging charm with which he explained America's past."

During the academic year 1971-72 Professor Morton served as provost of the College and also undertook a study of the office which, as the result of his recommendations, was abolished at the end of his term. In 1972-73, he served on the President's task force on budge priorities, a group that made many helpful reassessments of the College's economic structure.

In addition, over the years he served on many faculty committees, chairing those on educational policy and on instruction. He had been chairman of the History Department, faculty chairman of the committee advisory to the President, a member of the advisory committee on the Daniel Webster papers, and Dartmouth's representative on the editorial board of the University Press of New England.

Earlier he had served on the presidential search committee which worked with the Trustees in selecting John G. Kemeny to succeed John Sloan Dickey.

Professor Morton received a bachelor's degree from New York University in 1935, a master's from NYU Graduate School in 1936, and a doctorate from Duke University also in 1936. Before coming to Dartmouth in 1960 he taught at the University of Wisconsin, City College of New York, and William and Mary College. During World War II he served with the Army in the Pacitic and subsequently was a civilian historian in the Department of the Army. In that position he supervised he preparation of the 12-volume series on the Army's role in the war against Japan.

He was the author and co-author of several books, including The War in the Pacific: Strategy and Command and The Historian and the Diplomat. He published numerous articles in Foreign Affairs,American Heritage, The American Historical Review, and The Journal of American History, among others. He was general editor of a 21-volume series being published by the Macmillan Company on Wars andMintary Institutions of the United States.

In 1967-68 he was visiting scholar at Harvard's Center for International Affairs and in 1959 he received the Rockefeller Public Service Award for research in national security policy. He also won NASA's Apollo Achievement Award in 1970.

Professor Morton lectured periodically at the National War College, the Army and Navy War Colleges, the Naval Academy, West Point, the Coast Guard Academy, the Inter-American Defense College, and the Air Force Academy, where he also served as a consultant. He belonged to numerous historical and other scholarly professional organizations, including serving as a juror of the Pulitzer Prize Committees in history and biography.

A memorial service was held in Rollins Chapel February 17, with remarks by his colleagues Gene Lyons, Leonard Rieser, Marysa Navarro, Calvin Silvert, and John Kemeny, all of whom paid tribute to Professor Morton's integrity. As President Kemeny put it, "Lou Morton had very, very strong convictions. If something was a matter of principle to him, he would argue it to the very end. If it meant that he was a minority of one, so be it. After years of knowing him very well I came to the conclusion that the fight in which Lou Morton was on one side and everyone on the other side was an evenly matched fight."

He is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Gold- stein; one daughter, Rachel L. Franzman, Shelburne Falls, Mass.; two sons, David K., Bloomfield, Conn., and Nathanial B„ Hanover; and one grandchild.

The funeral services for Wilfred, who resided at 11 Dorset Road, Belmont, Mass., were held February 19.

Dartmouth and the Class of 1907 have lost a very loyal man in Wilfred Smart.

1908

CROSBY ARTHUR HOAR, who devoted the 40 years of his active career to the U.S. Forest Service, passed away on January 10, 1976 in Fairfax Hospital, near Washington, D.C. of complications following a stroke.

Crosby was born in West Acton, Mass., on September 9, 1886 and prepared for Dartmouth at Lawrence Academy. After graduating from Dartmouth, he entered Yale University's new Forestry School and graduated in 1910 with a diploma proclaiming him "Forestariae Magister and he passed an examination to join the relatively infant U.S. Forest Service. After eight years in the forests his lot led him to the District Office in Denver and then to a branch of the Denver office in Duluth, Wise. Crosby relates that his instructions from the District Forester were terse. "You are too far away from us (Denver) for us to give you close attention. Do all the good things you can, keep out of mischief and we will let you alone. There were 55,000,000 acres in the territory. After seven years in that job, four years in a newly-formed district in Milwaukee, and two years in Amherst, Mass., Crosby retired in 1950, and settled down in the home which he had acquired in Arlington, Va., 1817 N. Kenmore St. 22207.

In 1914, Crosby had been transferred to serve as deputy superviser at a forest headquarters at Delta, Colo. Shortly before the transfer, he was married on April 8, 1914 to Margaret N. Hendricks of Somerset, Va. Their two children were born in Delta: Nancy Hendricks Hoar who is in the civil service and had served abroad in World War II; John Sherman Hoar, prac- ticing law in Sumter, S.C., with three children.

Because of his busy program, and the great distances involved, Crosby had little opportunity to attend reunions or other class gatherings. However he stood high as a . faithful correspondent. Every one of our classmates joins in a message of sympathy to his widow Margaret and the children.

1909

FRANK STEARNS AUSTIN passed away very suddenly on the morning of December 27, 1975 at his home on the St. John's river-in Hibernia, a suburb of Green Springs, Florida.

Frank was born in Lynn, Mass., on November 6, 1886. He entered Dartmouth from the English High School of that city. He was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Immediately after graduation, Frank entered the engineering department of the.Boston & Albany R.R. and was assigned to Pittsfield, Mass., as supervisor of tracks and became general storekeeper with offices in Springfield, Mass., and then purchasing agent with offices in the South Station, Boston, Mass. In 1936, he moved to New York City and became associated with the New York Central Railroad, first as assistant purchasing agent and finally purchasing agent. In 1948, he became vice president in charge of purchases and stores until his retirement in 1953.

Active in railroad circles, in 1930 he was president of the New England Club; in 1948-1949, president of the New York Railroad Club; in 1950, chairman, Association American Railroads, Division Purchases and Stores.

Frank was married to Constance Clapp at Lynn, Mass., on June 26, 1926. She survives as does a nephew George Lawrence Austin Jr. M.D. '43 of West Hartford, Conn.

Memorial services were held in St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, Hibernia, Fla., on December 30, 1975. Frank had served as senior warden and treasurer until ill health forced his retirement.

1910

DONALD WHITTIER GREENWOOD, 89, died January 9 in the Taormina Retirement Community, Ojai, Calif.

A member of Sigma Nu Delta and of band and orchestra at Dartmouth, Don did post-graduate work at the University of Wisconsin and received his C.E. degree in 1914. He worked then for the Maine State Highway Commission, being promoted to resident engineer. From 1917 to 1919 he served in the Aviation Service and following his discharge from that, joined the South Dakota Highway Commission as an engineering draftsman. From 1921 to 1931 Don was a designing engineer with the Illinois Central and from 1931 until his retirement in 1962, he was superintendent of buildings and grounds for the Theosophical Society in America, Wheaton, 111. He lived some years with his brother in their childhood home in Farmington, Me., and was reported in 1971 as living in Ojai.

Don was married in 1920 to Dorothy Christensen and the one daughter and one son of their union both died before reaching their seventh years. The marriage ended in divorce in 1931 and Don had never remarried.

The most recent college questionnaire was returned with the notation by the retirement home's secretary, "As you can see, he tried to fill out this record but was not able to complete it."

1912

Stan Lovell was a genius. He was a chemist, an inventor, a holder of more than 100 U.S. and foreign patents, a registered patent lawyer, a writer, and at the end of World War II was the recipient of the Presidential Medal for Merit, the nation's highest award for civilian enterprise. He was, carried in Who's Who InAmerica and in American Men of Science. He died in his home in Newtonville, Mass., on January 4, 1976 of a heart attack.

STANLEY PLATT LOVELL was born August 29, 1890 at Brockton, Mass. He prepared for college at Brockton High School and spent his freshman year with the Class of 1912 at Dartmouth. Looking around for a college with more courses in chemistry, he transferred to Cornell from which he graduated with a B.S. in 1912 and two years later received a Master of Science degree from the same university. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and of Cornell Senior Society.

Following graduation Stan returned to Brockton for four years in the shoe industry. There followed six years in New Jersey as general manager of Celastic Corporation; 19 years as president of Arden-Rayshine Co. of Watertown, Mass.; and for part of the same period president of Latex Labs of Watertown and vice president of Beckwith Manufacturing Co. of Boston. In 1945 he established his own chemical company in Watertown as president which position he held at the time of his death.

At the onset of World II he was called to Washington to work in the Office of Scientific Research and Development as an aide to its director, Dr. Vannevar Bush. After three years he was transferred to the Office of Strategic Services till the end of the war. It was while in this department he became famous for his innovations in detecting the developments of the enemy. Sworn to secrecy as to what he saw, heard, and did while serving in the OSS during World War II, after 20 years he was able to reveal untold stories of that period which he published in his book, Of Spies and Stratagems. It is a masterpiece.

Stanley Lovell was a member of the American Chemical Society, had served as a director of several corporations in the chemical field as well as of the Union Market National Bank in Watertown and of Chemical Corps, Department of the Army. He was the founder of Castex Laboratories which developed a material used as a substitute for plaster casts. He was a member of several social clubs in Newton and Boston and at one time was a member of Cosmos Club in Washington. He was a trustee of the Museum of Science in Boston and a member of the Planning Board of Newton.

On June 26, 1919 he married Mabel L. Bigney of Brockton who survives him together with one son, Richard, five grandchildren, and five great-grandchiidren. Funeral services were private. Burial will be in the family lot in Osterville, Mass.

Stan's letters, more frequent of late, reveal the versatility of his talents. He was a student of Shakespeare and of the ancient Greek philosophers. His original poems revealed much of his own philosophy. His knowledge seemed to have no bounds. One letter in particular contained a discourse on the Roman origin of the secretary's address (street and town). It is said that his freshman year at Dartmouth was one of the happiest in his life.

1914

SHERMAN WHIPPLE SALTMARSH was born in Everett, Mass., November 24, 1891 and passed away in Winchester, Mass., his home town of many years, on February 22.

After graduation from Dartmouth, Salty went on to Harvard where he received his law degree in 1917. At the beginning of World War I he enlisted in the Navy as a seaman second class. He was later commissioned an ensign and, until September 1919, he served as an executive officer in the First Naval District in Boston. He also served in the Navy as a lieutenant commander in World War II and at one time was Judge Advocate of the First Naval District.

While at Dartmouth Salty made a name for himself as a cross-country and mile runner. In 1914 he won the National Intercollegiate Indoor Mile Championship and after his service in World War I he continued his racing career as a member of the Boston Athletic Association and won numerous races in distances from one to 10 miles. In later years he coached the Winchester Hockey Club to three New England Amateur Titles. He was a lifetime director of the New England Amateur Hockey Association.

Salty was an avid disciple of Isaac Walton and for more than 50 years went camping and fishing in Maine. He was considered to be such an expert in the woodlands north of the Bingham Dam that he became one of the few non-resident guides in the State.

He was a member of the Massachusetts, Middlesex, and American Bar Associations, the Massachusetts Civic League, and the Middlesex Club.

On October 18, 1924 he married Dorothy Daniels who predeceased him. Their son Sherman W. Jr. survives.

1915

It will be with great sadness that Fifteeners learn of the death of ROBERT HAMILTON GRIFFIN on February 7. The end came peacefully at Lawrence Hospital, near his Crestwood home.

His widow Helen wrote that despite two years of declining health that he had kept up his interests and activities until his final short illness.

We had missed Bob and Helen at our last Reunion because they had an accident as they were driving to Hanover, Bob suffered some broken ribs on this occasion but a later report indicated that he had recovered from this injury.

Bob received a degree in engineering from M.I.T. after graduating from Dartmouth where he was a Kappa Sigma. He held approximately 20 patent applications for mechanical and electronic inventions.

He served in World War I as a naval aviator and in World War II in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. He was a member of the Asbury Methodist Church and served on the Finance Committee.

Bob is survived by his widow Helen, a Barnard graduate whom he married in 1928. A son, two daughters, and seven grandchildren also survive. A memorial service was held at the Asbury Methodist Church on February 10. Memorial gifts may be made to the Church, 167 Scarsdale Road, Crestwood N.Y.

1916

NATHANIEL PRENTICE WINCHELL died in Tallahassee, Fla., shortly after the death of his wife Betty. Prentice was with us for one semester and went out and on to a life of editing and writing for business magazines and writing mysteries.

When radio was at its height Prentice wrote stories for the Mutual and National Broadcasting Networks under the name of Stewart Sterling for the mysteries. Black Mask, Maverick Jim, The Timid Soul, Red Trails, and Adventures of Mike Shayne.

1918

DWIGHT JAMES EDSON died January 4, 1976 in Houston, Texas.

He had developed internal cancer last fall and he cut short a vacation in Palm Springs to return to Houston to undergo treatment. At first reports were good but his condition worsened at Christmas time though he was in good spirits. Apparently a rapid decline occurred the next week when by a supreme effort he managed to attend the wedding of his grandson, Kevin Mc Gillicuddy '75. The following day he went into intensive care and though he held his own until January 3, his condition declined during the night and he died the next day.

At Dartmouth Dwight was an excellent student, keenly interested in class affairs and very popular with his classmates. He attained the third honor group in his sophomore, junior, and senior years.

Many of these details have been supplied by David Hedges '34 who was one of the pallbearers. Dave informs me: "The service .. . was beautifully done and upon its conclusion, the organ played "Men of Dartmouth" and also "Dartmouth's in Town Again," a very touching moment, which I know Dwight would have appreciated. I do not know who was responsible for this thoughtfulness but it surely broke up all the Dartmouth men there." He goes on to say: "Dwight Edson was as loyal a Dartmouth man as ever lived and the College has lost a faithful and generous friend. Your class, the Houston Dartmouth Alumni and myself personally will miss him terribly."

Dwight came to Dartmouth from Leominster, Mass., and during his senior year enlisted in the Navy. During 1919 he took postgraduate work at Northwestern University.

In 1920 he joined the Amerada Petroleum Company as a geologist and he performed the same services for the Humble Oil and Refining Co. from 1920-1925. In 1925 he organized the Edson Petroleum Co. which was engaged in oil production. He was president of the company until his retirement in 1971.

He was a director of his own company and also of the Minas X Petroleos del Ecuador, S. A. and Petrolera Yasuni, S. A. 1967-1969. He was a member of the Houston Geological Society and the American Society of Petroleum Geologists.

His social organizations included the Houston Petroleum Club, Lakeside Country Club, the University Club and the Cosmos Club at Dartmouth.

He served a term on the Dartmouth Alumni Council and was president and secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Houston.

Survivors include his wife Mary and his daughter Betty McGillicuddy, his son Dick, several grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His first wife, Ruth Annett died in 1937 and two of his sons predeceased him. They were Dwight James Jr. 45 and David Elwin, who attended Stanford.

1919

ARTHUR CLIFFORD HAVLIN died on February 13, after a brief illness in Osterville, Mass., where he had lived since his retirement. He has been a loyal son of Dartmouth and he will be missed.

Art left college at the outbreak of World War I and served overseas with the famed "Yankee Division. Wounded in the Battle of Seicheprey he recovered to participate in the second Battle of the Marne, the St. Mihiel offensive, and the Meuse-Argonne offensive.

After the War, he went to work for the Boston Edison Co., with which company he spent his entire business career, retiring as treasurer in 1960. For years he lived in Weston, Mass., and was busy with many civic activities. At Osterville he was also active in many ways, including service on the Boards of several historical museums.

He is survived by his widow Janet, (211 Starboard Lane) two stepsons, and five grandchildren.

1921

When ELLIS ORMSBEE BRIGGS retired in 1962 from a 37-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service, it was the late Sidney Hayward who, among others, urged him to move to Hanover. The two shared numerous common interests, and each much admired the other's communication skills. Their correspondence was a delight - Sidney's ever so graceful, Ellis' forthright and charming which, of course, begins to describe the characters of the two men.

Earlier Ellis had wished to sponsor a move to the U.S. of his Korean Embassy driver, and Sid had unraveled enough red tape (a favorite pastime of both gentlemen) so that finally a lovely Korean family arrived in Hanover in 1956. The entire community has been enriched by that very human form of diplomacy ever since.

There was no lack of candor when it came to the way Ellis approached subjects which interested him, and most subjects interested him! Those who stood opposite his opinions could find themselves terribly lonely because he reasoned and spoke from an understanding of history that was extensive, and a global background of on-the-job experience that could be overwhelming. He had been just about everywhere in the course of 17 foreign service posts and seven ambassadorships. His service in South America, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and South Korea resulted from appointments by Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower. Those Presidents desired his presence in places where the relationships of this country required a delicate touch, which Ellis could well manage even with his penchant for reducing nonsense wherever, and with whomever, he found it.

It wasn't long after the final move to Hanover, managed as always by Lucy Briggs, who unofficially has been one of the nation's outstanding ambassadors, that Ellis found himself deeply involved in the work of the College. He became "diplomat-in-residence" at the Public Affairs Center and undergraduates soon learned that his criticism of institutions like the U.S. Department of State and Dartmouth College stemmed from a deep sense of loyalty and devotion to these enterprises.

Alumni of the College were also to share the privilege of his presence. Dartmouth's "Career Ambassador," working with a number of senior faculty members, designed the format and curriculum of the first Alumni College in 1963. The participation of such a gentleman with his "real world" background delighted and stimulated everyone concerned. Soon he was to nourish the curriculum with Farewell to FoggyBottom, a book form of his lectures to Congress on favorite subjects such as the over-staffing of diplomatic missions!

By the late 1960s Ellis was so much involved with college affairs and so appalled at certain forms of dis sent taking place on the national scene that he took to the pages of the Magazine and in other ways tried to set the "new left" to the old right. His actions must have had some effect because Dartmouth was spared, for the most part, the brand of activism that could defeat any rational approach to the problems of those times.

Ellis was generous in his hours spent with students faculty members, alumni, and even young administrative officer types which he suspected were too great in number at Dartmouth. One of those officers devised a plan to meet him monthly at the Hanover Inn for lunch and charge it to his college entertainment account. The meetings took place but the Ambassador was critical of the budget scheme and always picked up the check. Thus began a friendship built on a typical brand of Briggs fellowship (and philanthropy) that anyone would have found stimulating. The Ambassador enjoyed beer with his lunch, so naturally he knew more about beer than anyone alive - and he seemed to know more about leaders, foreign affairs game birds, South America, fish, the Russians! languages, dogs, and the Olympic games, (just to get the list started) than anyone alive.

After Dartmouth Ellis Briggs became a geographyand English instructor at Robert College in Constantinople. Then followed some free lance writing inEurope, after which he joined the United StatesForeign Service in 1925. His Ambassadorships beganafter various stops in Latin America, Africa, London,Geneva, Washington, and Chungking. His role was a key one in the Korean peace negotiations and for thatparticular service he was awarded the nation's highestcivilian award - the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Brazil accorded him its highest honor, the Grand Crossof the Order of the Southern Cross. He accompaniedPresident Eisenhower to Greece in 1959 and that ledtwo years later to the Ambassadorship there.

It is not easy to single out the highlights in such a career. Ellis wrote for such publications as The NetYork Times Magazine, Saturday Evening Post, Esquire, Reader's Digest, and Show. Perhaps his mostscholarly book was Anatomy of Diplomacy: ThtOrigin and Execution of American Foreign Policy,published in 1968. It dealt with the complexities of foreign relations.

As an undergraduate he was a member of Paelopitus and served on the staff of The Dartmouth. He succeeded Sherman Adams as president of the Outing Club, and he was captain and manager of the Gun Team. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. His College awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree in 1955 and the Dartmouth Alumni Council presented to him its highest honor, the Alumni Award, in 1957. Numerous other honorary doctorates, especially from colleges in New England, were to f follow.

Surviving, in addition to his widow Lucy, are a son Everett '56, and a daughter Lucy.

So ends the career of a distinguished public servant, scholar, and gentleman. His fellow alumni, countrymen, and friends around the world will share theii associations with him proudly.

J. MICHAEL MCGEAN '49

Secretary of the College

1922

ALFRED REMICK CRAMPTON, 74, former vice president of the Weeden Co., Boston investment and brokerage firm, died February 16 at Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis, Mass.

He was a loyal alumnus and had many close relations with Dartmouth.

At the end of his active business period Jack and his wife Lorraine spent seven months in the Far East representing the Associated Dry Goods Association, spearheaded by Lord and Taylor, to survey the markets in this area with the purpose of reviewing and organizing the business outlets of the Association. In retirement, as before, they enjoyed sailing, golf and riding.

Jack was a worker for Dartmouth, serving as a class agent and in other capacities, and was a devoted member of the Class, attending local gatherings where he lived and reunions in Hanover whenever possible.

George was married during his senior year to Imogene Evans December 3, 1925 at Council Bluffs, la. Upon graduation he decided upon a teaching career - or as he later wrote: "I just fell into teaching because I could talk French. In fact, Imogene 'pushed me in'." He was on the faculties of the University of Omaha, the University of Minnesota, and Yale University, and while at Yale he took his Ph.D. degree. He also was a professor at Russell Sage College before joining Wayne State University, Detroit, Mich., teaching there for 25 years, becoming chairman of the Department of Romance and Germanic Languages until his retirement in 1972.

During World War II George was a radio program director and psychological warfare officer with the U.S. Army, and won a citation for Normandy and Central France campaigns.

He was the author of four books and produced several films on the French language.

FRANCIS DANIEL HEALY of 29 Rose Avenue, Eastchester, N.Y., died January 25 at the Mt. Vernon, N.Y., Hospital after a long illness. He was born in Bradford, Pa., December 20, 1904.

He graduated from the high school there in 1922 and at Dartmouth he was a member of Beta Theta Pi, was on the freshman track team, and the freshman and varsity cross-country teams. An active member of the Class, he had many friends and many interests.

He then went with the Board of Education of the City of New York where he was director of transportation until his retirement. He was a long-time director of the Mt.

He and his wife Mae were frequent visitors in Hanover for class formal and informal reunions and football gatherings.

In 1936 he earned his LL.B. (later J.D.) at Fordham Law School, and during World War II he was in service for four years spending three and one half years in Europe. He achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Army Transportation Corps.

Frank was married to the former Mary Surch in Mt. Vernon on September 3, 1936, who survives him. Our Class, and in particular the many members who have had the opportunity of knowing Mae at class functions, have her in their thoughts at this time.

PAUL HENRY LEUSSLER died January 24 in Claremont, Calif., after a long illness. He was bom in Omaha, Neb., January 7, 1904. He graduated from Omaha Central High School. Besides having many friends in the Class at Dartmouth and being active in undergraduate activities, Paul took a great interest in Hanover town affairs. One incident, previously described in Smoke Signals class newsletter, was a town meeting when he and a classmate, the late Don MacKay, came to the rescue of George Gitsis whose restaurant was about to be reclaimed by his landlord, the Town of Hanover. The result - George kept his restaurant and the Town made other satisfactory arrangements.

Paul went to work after graduation as a laborer for Omaha Steel Works, becoming executive vice president in 1940. In 1950 he was in Europe for ECA, sitting in on the Schuman Plan origins which later became the European Common Market.

He semi-retired in 1961, continuing with occasional management consulting assignments. Paul earned his M.B.A. degree in June, 1954 at University of California, Los Angeles.

When in England in 1950 Paul married Margaret Manford, a graduate of Chetenham Women's College, and who survives him as does his daughter Mrs. Eugene (Mary) Anderson and a granddaughter Sherry Rissi. The Class sends its sincere sympathy to them.

, GEORGE FREDERICK MYERS died November 9, 1975 in Baildon, Yorkshire, England. He had lived in England for over 40 years. He was born in El Paso, Texas, August 15, 1904 and lived in Cranford, N.J., at the time he entered Dartmouth, having graduated from Kingsley School nearby. George was with us in 1922-23 and was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He roomed with don Robinson who also came from Cranford, and was classmate at Kingsley School as well as at Dartmouth with Ed Montenecourt, also from Cranford.

His widow Marjorie, a self-styled "died-in-the-wool" North Country Englishwoman, wrote two beautiful letters describing George's and her life in England. They were married in Bradford, Yorkshire, in September 1932 in a church where records of both sides of her family went back 200 years and more. George's entire business career was in the textile trade for which the Bradford area is noted the world over. He represented two old established firms in Manchester

George was a member of tennis, rowing, and sculling clubs and played for the Bradford Rugby Union XV Very much a lover of the outdoors, he and Marjorie hiked in the English Lake Region. He was termed by his wife "a quiet unassuming man who supported many good causes, but always stayed in the background never seeking the limelight." During the war he served 4½ years with the Royal Navy as a commissioned officer, seeing forsign service without being able to return home for 2½ years.

George and Marjorie enjoyed foreign travel, having visited most European countries, including a glimpse behind the "Iron Curtain." In 1958 they came to America where they met with George's former Cranford Dartmouth classmates and their families.

He had been a member of Rotary, St. Andrews Society, and Choate Club. He was also a director of the local Red Cross and Community Chest, chairman of the Planning Board and Mayor of Tewksbury township.

He is surved by his widow and two daughters Kelsey L. Cameron and Mrs. Thomas Wroth.

CARL WILLIAM STERN died January 25, 1976, after a long battle with cancer.

The Class has lost one of its outstanding members and supporters of the College. He was a highly respected business man in the world of finance and a beloved civic leader whose quiet accomplishments in San Francisco were less heralded than many because of his innate modesty.

Following graduation Phi Beta Kappa, he joined the investment firm of A. G. Becker. In 1941 he joined the Army and in 1942 he married Marjorie Gunst, a '37 Smith graduate. From 1942 to 1945 he served on the War Production Board and Foreign Economic Ad- ministration. In 1946 Carl returned to Becker to open a San Francisco office for them. He was later a founding partner of Lawson, Williams & Stern Company.

He was active with several Jewish charitable organizations, The American Friends Service Committee, and YWCA. He was a director of the World Affairs Council and the American Cancer Society. Out of respect for Carl's passing the Board of Supervisors for the city of San Francisco adjourned its regular meeting and wrote a note of sympathy to Marj. Also the official bulletin of the San Francisco Public Library made note that Carl and Marjorie who is a Commission Member have been two of the most devoted and effective supporters over the past 15 years.

We should like to quote on paragraph from the memorial service. "Unencumbered with the pain we felt with him, there now emerges again the recollection of the vital, energetic and creative person Carl was. The shadow his illness cast upon him is now dispelled by the brightness of his memory. Our sense of helplessness is now replaced by the strength he personified. The very resources Carl developed and nurtured in life stood him in good stead when adversity befell him. His quiet dignity, his uncompromising straight-forwardness, his impeccable honesty, and his solid intelligence remained unimpaired to the end."

Besides his widow Carl leaves two sons Carl Jr. (Harvard) and Peter, and a grandson.

He became president in 1962 and was the company's chief executive officer. As was observed by the clergyman at his funeral, "He was a good person who shared a full life with us."
