1905

One of the College's most enthusiastic supporters for three quarters of a century, ROGER WHITTEMORE BROWN, died February 24 in Lawrence (Mass.) Memorial Hospital. He had reached his 93rd birthday on January 10.

Born in Concord, Mass., Roger, known to classmates as Red, came to Dartmouth from high school there. He became a member of Sigma Chi and played on the class football team in 1901-02.

Following graduation he returned to his home state and in Bedford set up as an independent merchant in the coal and lumber business, at the same time living on a farm which supported 40 cows. After 15 years he sold the farm and maintained the business which had come to include transportation. In 1920 he founded the Brown Trucking Company. It evolved to a large con- tracting firm, the Brown Terminal and Warehouse Co., which operated a fleet of trailer trucks hauling mainly heavy construction materials to points throughout New England, including materials for the construction of Hopkins Center. He had also been for 60 years an investor in real estate.

College officials can testify that Roger took a keen interest in all aspects of the institution. In 1970 he received the Alumni Award, recognizing his numerous services to his College and Class, among them as class newsletter editor and as class secretary, bequest chairman, treasurer, and agent, the latter four positions he held at the time of his death. In 1965 he led the Class to win the Old Timers Green Derby, simultaneously per- forming as chairman of the 65th Reunion. He saw to the restoration of the Earl of Dartmouth portrait and to the installation of the acoustical ceiling in the DOC House.

Roger was an enthusiastic student at Alumni College, beginning with its second session in 1964 and it is doubtful that he missed many reunions, formal or informal, or Dartmouth-Harvard games in the years since 1905.

He was a corporator of the Somerset Savings Bank, Somerville, Mass.; a director of the North Cambridge Coop Bank; and a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Somerville Rotary Club, and the Bedford Grange.

He was married in 1906 to Maude White who died in 1926, and in 1945 to Frances Jackson who died in 1956. He is survived by his third wife Eliza Jane, by a daughter Elizabeth; two sons Roger W. Jr. and Lawrence S, a sister Carol, a brother H. Whittemore, and three grandchildren.

1911

Dr. ROLF CLARKE NORRIS passed away in Methuen, Mass., on March 24 at the age of 87. After graduating from Methuen High School he worked for one year before joining our Class in Hanover in September 1907.

In Hanover, Spim played on the class football team and was goalie on the varsity hockey team as one of five from 1911. He was a member of the Gamma Delta Epsilon fraternity. At the end of freshman year he underwent an appendectomy at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital where two important events happened: first, he met and later married his nurse Margaret Cardigan and second, the seeds of the decision to study medicine were sown. Result: seven good years in Hanover - B.S. in 1911 and M. D. in 1914. Then one year as intern at Mary Hitchcock with Howard Clute '11.

After Hanover, Spim went to France with the Harvard Surgical Unit which staffed a British Base Hospital before the United States was in the war. They arrived in France in December 1915 and the first gas attack occurred while he was there; their hospital, like all others, overflowed with victims, as the English were totally unprepared for such an attack. He was with that British Base Hospital unit for nine months.

He then returned to the U.S.A. and married Margaret, after which he joined the U. S. Army and made another trip to France with a field hospital, a part of the Fifth Division which saw plenty of action at St. Mihiel, the Argonne, and the Verdun sector. He was a captain in the Army Medical Corps 1917-1919.

After the War, Spim returned to his home town Methuen, Mass., and became a surgeon and later simply practiced medicine all his life in Methuen. He received the degree of Fellow of American College of Surgeons in cap and gown with 300 others on the stage of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.

His outside activities included director of a National Bank, Deacon of his church, etc. He and Margaret had three children. Allan '47, the only son, was in Dartmouth for only one month. He had the option of com- pleting the college year but chose to get into the war and was called into service by the Navy Air Force in 1943. Just as he was about to receive his wings, he was in a fatal crash at Pensacola.

Two daughters, Mildred and Louise, married World War II officers during the War just as their parents had done. His wife Margaret passed away several years ago. One grandson Andrew Breen is a sophomore at Dartmouth. He is survived by his two daughters and several grandchildren.

1912

After several years of steadily failing health Hal Baker slipped quietly away in his Cleveland home on February 24. He had been one of the great men of his time, unassuming, respected in business and among acquaintances as a man of unusual abiltiy and of blazing integrity. His loss will be greatly felt by many including his many Dartmouth friends.

HAROLD TOWER BAKER was born in Joliet, Ill., on June 26, 1890. At the end of his junior year in Manchester (N.H.) High School he studied for two years at Norwich University where he was an honor student. He then transferred to Dartmouth with the Class of 1912 in its junior year. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, was an honor student, elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated magna cum laude. Receiving a B.S. degree, Hal went on to Thayer School from which he obtained a degree in civil engineering in 1913.

Hal began his career in Maine with the Great Northern Paper Co. as a paper mill engineer. With the advent of World War I he enlisted in January 1918, spent some time in an engineering training camp in Virginia, and was commissioned second lieutenant in the Engineer Reserve Corps and assigned to the 308th Engineers, 87th Division, just in time for the Armistice.

Ferguson Co. of Cleveland where he remained for 20 years, at first as a project engineer and then as paper mill consultant. In addition to the above States he did work for companies in Texas, Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee, Canada, Alaska, and India. He retired in 1958.

In 1940-1941, as the Second World War developed, Hal was chief engineer at the installation of a shellloading plant and ordnance depot at Milan, Tenn., in- volving the expenditure of over $30 million.

Holder of several patents on improved paper machinery, he was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry. He was also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, Order of Founders and Patriots, the Western Reserve Historical Association, and a 32nd degree Mason and a Shriner. He handled his retirement with zest and imagination. A weaver and a musician, he belonged to the Musical Arts Association and was active in the Cleveland Senior Council. He was for many years a member and trustee of the local First Baptist Church. His greatest joy was his family and perhaps next came his class reunions which he attended as long as he was able.

On June 17, 1915, Harold Baker married Katharine Elizabeth Rothman of Chicago who survives him together with two sons, a daughter, 11 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and a sister.

Seven years later he became a freight agent for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Port Ivory, Staten Island, where he remained for 40 years. In 1956 he retired and moved to Exeter. At one time he was manager of the Bloomfield (N.J.) Senior Baseball League.

EDWIN CURTIS MILLER, M.D., died February 26 while vacationing at Grand Canyon, Ariz.

Born September 5, 1897 in Malone, N.Y., he attended Franklin Academy and then Dartmouth. He left to enlist as a seaman first class in the U.S.N.R. in 1917 and was on active duty for months in the Atlantic until he was transferred to the Dartmouth Naval Unit in October 1918 and continued his studies in the Medical School for a two-year course. As a result of his excellent performance the Medical Faculty enlisted his help from 1920 to 1923 as a lecturer in anatomy and histology until he entered Harvard Medical School to obtain his M.D. At Harvard he also served as a lecturer.

At Dartmouth, in addition to being a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, he was a member of Alpha Kappa Kappa, Gamma Alpha, and the Dartmouth Scientific Association.

After receiving his M.D. he interned at the Massachusetts General Hospitals and lectured in many regional institutions, as well as doing research at the Marine Biological Institute, Woods Hole. In 1927 he became a resident physician in the Memorial Hospital in Worcester where he rose to become its medical chief of medicine, a post he held until retirement in 1974. While the Worcester Memorial was his main base (in the field of internal medicine), he also served on the courtesy staffs of the Hahnemann and Fairlawn Hospitals, as consulting physician at the Grafton and Worcester State Hospitals, and the Harrington Memorial Hospital. He was also a trustee of the Metropolitan State Hospital in Waltham and medical director for the physicians department of the American Red Cross.

Dr. Miller was medical consultant for the Ringling Brothers Circus and became acquainted with its personnel, especially the clowns of which Emmett Kelley was preeminent. Later, in retirement, the doctor transferred his talents to clowning and became a charter member of the Park-Rec Clown Club, the main purpose of which was to entertain people - to brighten their lives. This he did with enthusiasm, in children's wards and at meetings of retirees. Classmates will long remember his clowning at our 55th Reunion. He provided all the ingredients - costume, makeup and ingenious program of mimicry, and, above all, enthusiasm and joy.

Special mention should be made of two of his interests one, his long years of service for the Grenfell Association for which as director he went on numerous missions to remote Labrador regions dispensing his medical knowledge and skills.

The second was his alma mater. As "Captain Snow," (a sobriquet he acquired as a fishing companion to classmate Paul Sample and Sid Hayward '26 while cruising Labrador waters in search of fish), he was a tower of strength in Dartmouth affairs. He served the Class as an officer, on the executive committee, in bequest and estate planning, and as an assistant class agent. He was also a member of the Alumni Council and continued to attend its meetings as a past member. He was elated when Dartmouth launched its new medical program. With his wife Harriet he regularly attended Alumni College.

In his enthusiasm for life Dr. Miller had many diverse interests and belonged actively to many organizations, professional and civic. One wonders how he found time to do so many things and so well, but he did - even to serving in World War II as a lieutenant colonel - for he worked hard, steadily, and efficiently from early morning to late night. He was "one of the old breed of doctors" who continued to make house calls up until retirement.

Yet he found time for his family: for Harriet and for Dusty, his son, and Edith or Dee-dee, his daughter, and their respective families. He was a devoted and understanding husband and father who lived his life intensely with joy.

All of us mourn his passing and offer condolences to his family. Each of us gained much for having known him and we share his family's grief and some of their joy of association with Captain Snow, whom his minister described as the healer, the adventurer, the clown, and the good neighbor.

Ted was a kind and friendly man and seems to have had his happiest years after he moved to Florida. He served as class agent for seven years and in 1973, just a few months before our 50th, hosted a party for the large group of 1923 men who were spending the winter near where he lived in Fort Lauderdale.

Dartmouth lost a dedicated alumnus and 1926 an outstanding classmate in the death on March 30 of RICHARD HENRY MANDEL at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City. For some time Dick had a health problem with emphysema which did not improve. He was born September 4, 1905 in Colorado Springs, Colo., grew up in Chicago where he graduated from Harvard Preparatory School.

Besides working on the Alumni Fund he was most generous in his financial backing of the College. His chief interest was Baker Library and he devoted much of his time, energy, and resources to enrich its facilities. In 1965 he presented to the College a room to house the history of Dartmouth. It is named in honor of Harold G. Rugg '06 former Associate Librarian. He gave many rare and valuable books and manuscripts to the Library including collections of Aldous Huxley, H.L. Mencken and James G. Huneker. Dick was a founder and former chairman of the Friends of the Dartmouth Library. He founded the Richard H. Mandel Library Fund and was instrumental in founding the 1926 Memorial Book Collection consisting of illustrated books published in New England during the College's first century 1769-1869 - a collection to honor the deceased members of the Class. Dick and his brother Frank established an annual prize in comprehensive literature which was suggested to them by the late Herb West '22. In 1965 Dick served a term as a vice president of the General Association of Alumni. He was a member of the Alumni Council, a position he resigned last fall due to ill health.

Upon the death of his brother, Dick established the Frank E. Mandel 1924 Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Medical School.

Dick - a quiet, gentle man, with a great ability for friendship and a keen sense of humor had a driving force to do those things which enhance education. With imagination and initiative he led the Class into a very worthwhile service to the College with tme creation of the 1926 Book Collection.

Dick and Bunny (Dorothy M.E. Buchman) were married September 11, 1926 at Schroon Lake, N.Y., and she and two sons Richard H. Jr., and Stephen F., six grandchildren, brother Thomas D. Nast, and sister Helen E. Nast survive him. The Class joins them in sadness.

Born on August 30, 1908, in Brooklyn, Shep graduated from Brooklyn Poly Prep in 1927, and was admitted to Dartmouth in the Class of 1931. A varsity halfback for three years, he went into the record books in his sophomore year when he scored on a 92-yard kickoff return in a game against Cornell. This was then the longest kickoff return in the history of Dartmouth football, and has since been surpassed only four times. In his senior year, when the team played a 0-0 tie with Yale and lost only to Stanford (14-7), Shep was top scorer with 43 points in nine games - six touchdowns and seven extra points by dropkicks. In the three years Shep played, the team compiled a 19-7-1 record.

Shep was a member of Psi Upsilon Fraternity and of Casque and Gauntlet. In addition, he was a member of Green Key, and Palaeopitus, and served a chief of the Emergency Fire Squad. His major was Tuck School.

Perhaps Shep's most treasured moment as an undergraduate came when he was awarded the coveted Barrett All-Round Achievement Cup. It was an honor richly deserved by one of the most popular, unselfish, and dedicated men in the Class.

Following graduation, Shep started his career as a sales trainee with the Brooklyn Union Gas Co., becoming residential sales manager in 1945. Later that year, he became New England sales manager for Bryant Manufacturing Co., a Boston firm producing gas heating and cooling and water heating appliances. In 1961, he was elected vice president, sales, for the Boston Gas Co., and was elected to its board of directors in 1965. He retired in 1967, and lived in South Pomfret, Vt., before moving to Etna, N.H., in 1970.

He was a former director of the Guild of Ancient Suppliers, a past member of the American Gas Association and of the Boston Better Business Bureau, and for a period, served as chief of the Volunteer Fire Department in Wayland, Mass., where he lived for 22 years.

Shep never lost his interest in and his involvement with his College and his Class. For several years after graduation he scouted opponents for the football team, and in recent years - 1970-73 - served Dartmouth as a member of the Alumni Council. He also served for the past six years as chief finish judge for all home meets of the Dartmouth track team. He was a former secretary of the Dartmouth Club of the Upper Valley and a member of its Board of Directors.

His principal interest, however, was the Class of 1931. For many years he was a member of the executive committee; served as class secretary from 1960- 65; and as class treasurer from 1965. In 1973 he was elected Class Treasurer of the Year by the Class Treasurers Association. During his years as treasurer, Shep wrote innumerable notes to classmates, and as a result of these efforts and his own personal interest and enthusiasm, the Class, in recent years, has consistently rated among the top classes in percentage of graduate and non-graduate dues payers.

Shep was treasurer of the C. & G. Trust, and, as such, developed a close personal and working relationship with all of the active members. He was also a trustee of Psi U. Fraternity.

Shep was well-known throughout the Hanover area for his wood sculpture, and in September, 1973, was named Craftsman of the Month by the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. For the past four years, the Society for the Preservation of New Hampshire Forests has used his works of art - carved clusters of mushrooms - as awards. He was also highly skilled in the rare art of scrimshaw.

He is survived by his widow, the former Harriet Lockwood, of Brooklyn, whom he married in 1932; a son, William S. Wolff, '55; a daughter, Mrs. Nancy E. Dumaine, of Plainfield, N.H., and four grandchildren. The Class shares their great loss and extends to them its deepest sympathy.

Memorial contributions may be sent to Dartmouth for the W.C. Wolff 1931 Memorial Fund.

His widow Bonnie wrote a poignant letter about their family and their life together with their four children.

For many years Lance was in international marketing and advertising. He was five and a half years in the Belgian Congo where he and Bonnie met and were married and where Keith '74, their oldest son, was born. Keith is now with the Reader's Digest Book Section in Montreal as an editor. The Bellows had been for 22 years in Canada where the other three children were born; Lindsay, 19, in her first year at Brock University; a second daughter Kyle in her last year of high school; and a second son Bruce who is one year behind her and hopes to go to Dartmouth.

While Lance was with Baker Advertising in Montreal he was lent by them to be director of marketing for Expo '67 which was a most exciting assignment for him. The last five years he had his own consulting firm and also was in real estate and taught a marketing course at Brock University in St. Catharines.

He was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Green Key. Dartmouth was always dear to his heart. It was the first place he took Bonnie when they returned to this country and it meant a lot to him to see his son Keith graduate from his old Alma Mater. His classmates extend their deepest sympathy to his family.

1965

ANDREW JULIAN TRUSKIER died January 13 in Long Beach, Calif., after a year and a half battle with leukemia. At the time of his death Andy was about to leave his career in radio journalism to attend law school at Berkeley. It was at Berkeley that Andy received his bachelor degree in Political Science following what was really just a brief couple of years at Dartmouth. Perhaps it was his interest in mountain climbing that drew him so far from home in 1961.

An active roll in the civil rights movement prompted a similar interest in the Indochina wars which Andy covered on location. Before returning to Long Beach, which is also the home of his parents, he managed to visit North Vietnam, Korea, Algeria, and the Soviet Union. Mr. and Mrs. Jan Truskier have established the Andy Truskier Memorial Fund to send medical equipment to Vietnam. Contributions can be sent to P.O. Box 4400, Berkeley, Calif. 94704. Andy embarked on his life of long distance travels from Rome, Italy, in June, 1943.
