Faculty

HANNES BECKMANN, emeritus professor of art at Dartmouth, died July 19 in Hanover.

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1909, the versatile Beckmann was painter, photographer, stage designer, and critic. He trained as a painter at the Bauhaus in pre-World War II Germany with colleagues such as Kandinsky, Klee, and Albers.

Opposition to Hitler made him a refugee from his homeland and led him to study photography in Vienna and in 1934 to flee to Prague, where he was arrested and held in a Nazi concentration camp. After the war he was awarded honorary Czechoslovakian citizenship for his part in the Czech resistance movement.

In 1948 Beckmann came to the United States, where he became a citizen. From 1948-52 he was head of photography at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and in 1949 had his first exhibit there. He was professor at the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture in New York from 1952-70 and visiting critic at Yale University 1960-61. He had one-man shows at the Kanegis Gallery in Boston and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Mass., and the art museums of St. Louis, Seattle, Pasadena, Baltimore, Newark, and the University of Texas. His work is part of the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Harvard's Busch-Reisinger Museum, Bauhaus Archives, Newark Museum, and the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City.

Professor Beckmann, after two summers as visiting artist at Hopkins Center, became artist-in-residence at the College in 1970. The following year he was appointed professor of art, and in 1975 he retired. In retirement he taught at Hanover High School and exhibited at the Ava Gallery in Hanover. The Goethe House of Boston's north American tour of his paintings (beginning in September) was to have included lectures by him.

Elsa Naess Beckmann, his wife of 21 years, survives him, as do a daughter and a brother.

W. RANDALL WATERMAN, emeritus professor of history, died at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover July 28. He was 85.

Waterman, a specialist in the social history of the United States, was a member of the history department at Dartmouth College for the whole of his teaching career, some 39 years.

A 1915 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University, he earned his M.A. degree there in 1916 and received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 1924. He joined the Dartmouth faculty as instructor in 1921, was promoted to assistant professor in 1924 and to full professor in 1930. He retired in 1960.

Waterman's book Frances Wright, about an early worker for women's rights, was published in 1924, and he contributed numerous articles to professional and historical journals.

In addition to his teaching duties at Dartmouth, he was for many years corporation treasurer of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, of which he was a member.

In retirement. Waterman was curator of the Webster Cottage of the Hanover Historical Society.

His wife Ellen, to whom he was married in 1922, died in 1968. Their only child, a daughter Nancy, was born in 1924. Two nephews, Thomas M. Magoon '44 and Bruce A. Magoon '50, attended Dartmouth.

1907

PHILIP HARTLEY CHASE died peacefully on July 4 at Lankenau Hospital near Philadelphia, Pa., at the age of 91. He had been admitted only one day before.

Phil was the youngest and last of the "four Chase brothers" born and educated in Hanover, N.H. His father, Frederick Chase, Class of 1860, was treasurer of Dartmouth College, and his grandfather, Stephen Chase, Class of 1832, was professor of mathematics at the College. Phil's brothers were Stephen '96, Theodore W. '99, and Frederick '05.

He entered Dartmouth from Hanover High School. He was a member of DKE, lettered in track, and won the Thayer Mathematics Prize. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1909 and earned his M.S. degree in electrical engineering the next year at Harvard. For the next 47 years, he worked for public utility companies such as the Public Service Electric and Gas Company in Newark, N.J., the American Railways Company in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Electric Company, where in 1928 he was promoted to chief engineer and in 1948 to assistant to engineering vice president, retiring in 1957.

Phil contributed immeasurably to the growth of the electric utilities industry during his career. In addition to his engineering, system planning, design, and managerial duties, he actively participated in and chaired many professional and trade associations, such as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Engineers Club of Philadelphia, Electric Standard Board, U.S. National Committee of the International Electro-technical Commission, Association of Edison Illuminating Companies, Pennsylvania Electric Association; he was a member of the executive committee, Edison Electric Institute and of the aviation committee, Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. Phil was exceptionally creative and received numerous U.S. patents. He was honored with the Modern Pioneer Award by the National Association of Manufacturers in 1940 at its anniversary observance of the founding of the American patent system.

Phil golfed, skiied, and gardened. He was a lifelong proponent of energy conservation and throughout World War II drove an electric automobile which he had converted from gasoline to battery power. He was a noted numismatist who specialized in Confederate paper currency and published an authoritative book entitled Confederal Treasury Notes.

In 1913 he married Theora Hill Williamson following her graduation from Sargent College of Boston University. He is survived by her and several nieces and nephews.

1908

EARL WELLINGTON WILEY died June 7 in Columbus, Ohio. Born in Holyoke, Mass., in 1886, he entered Dartmouth in 1905 after a year at Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., where he joined Delta Upsilon. A year's leave of absence delayed his graduation until 1909, but Earl's loyalties remained with the Class of 1908.

Earl had a distinguished academic and literary career which included 42 years on the faculty of Ohio State University, from 1915 to 1957. He was a recognized authority on Abraham Lincoln interested particularly in his speaking career. Earl published articles, book reviews, and books, in addition to delivering lectures around the country about the martyred president.

After college, he taught English for three years in Oklahoma and in 1915 joined the English faculty of Ohio State University, where he became a full professor. He helped to found the department of speech there, as well, and served for a time as its acting chairman.

Earl's great interest in Lincoln started in 1927 when he unearthed four hitherto unknown speeches of Lin- coln in the dusty archives of the Historical Library at Springfield, Ill. These were published in Earl's first book that same year.

From then on Earl spent much time on Lincoln research, lecturing, publishing articles, and being generally active. He was appointed in 1957 by the then governor of Ohio to serve as chairman of the Abraham Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission.

Perhaps the culmination of Earl's career was the publication in 1970, when he was 83 years old, of his volume, Abraham Lincoln, Portrait of a Speaker, a book widely recognized and praised.

Earl was married in 1911 to Hattie Maud Turner, and the couple had four children, Ellen, Turner, Robert Clifton, and Virginia Ruth. The sympathy of the Class is extended to the survivors.

1911

TROY LASALLE PARKER passed away in Eugene, Ore., on May 18 after a very brief illness and a second heart attack. Troy joined our class from University High School in Chicago and in College was in the Dramatic Club, on the Aegis board and the board of The Dartmouth, of which he became managing editor. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

His far-ranging military service included the First Illinois Cavalry, the National Guard in Texas, aviation training at Fort Sill in 1917, and finally overseas duty before the armistice in Bethelainville, just back of Verdun. Troy narrowly escaped death in a train accident at Meung Loire, in which an officer at his side and a man sitting opposite were killed outright.

Upon return, he became associated with a group of operators seeking "special situations" firms in financing or management. One such project was development of Palmer Gulch in the South Dakota Black Hills, seven miles from the Rushmore carvings. The land deal needed a manager, and in 1927 he and his wife of 10 years, Janet Smith Parker, took their family to the Gulch. When the depression came, Janet and Troy went into the resort hotel business. Daughter Ellen trained and handled their string of 30 horses, and Janet ran the dining room. The reputation built up fast.

Later his son Watson, a graduate of the Cornell School of Hotel Management, ran the place, creating for it the famous slogan: "Famous for what we have not got - no snakes, no bar, no souvenirs, no juke box, no television, and no hellity-whoop."

They finally sold out in the late 1960's and built a small winterized cottage. They moved to Eugene, Ore., to be near Ellen and her family. Troy is survived by Janet, now in a nearby rest home, daughter Ellen, son Watson, and five grandchildren.

Troy was a most loyal member of 1911 and a fine Dartmouth man, and he will be sorely missed.

HENRY SANDERS SMITH passed away in the Leonard Morse Hospital in Natick, Mass., on July 5. He had been hospitalized for about a month. Born in Boston in 1889, he entered Dartmouth from the Norwood, Mass., high school. In college he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. The year following his graduation he received an M.C.S. degree from Tuck School.

He was a retired employee of Berwick and Smith Company at the Norwood Press. He had also been the Mexico City representative of the National Paper and Type Company and was with the Massachusetts Motor Car Company's sales department for 20 years.

He was a past master of the Mexico City Masonic Lodge and had been involved in New England square dance activities for many years.

He was a direct descendant of Henry Smith, 15th settler in Medfield in 1651, and of Daniel Sanders, Unitarian minister in Medfield from 1814 to 1829.

Husband of the late Elizabeth Brening Smith, he is survived by a son, Daniel Sanders Smith, a daughter, Nancy Smith Wolcott, two sisters, eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

1912

ELMER JACQUES BLOOM, a man of many interests and the youngest member of the Class of 1912, died on May 28 at the Methodist Medical Center in Peoria, Ill., after a brief illness. It may have been the result of his finding himself younger than the average college student, or it may have been that his college course was prematurely terminated because of eye trouble resulting from a football injury; whatever the cause, Elmer was frustrated with Dartmouth. After two years there as an honor student, he made an unsuccessful attempt to continue his education at the University of Illinois.

Elmer Bloom was born at Peoria in 1892. He graduated from the local high school at the age of 15. His business career included a year as a horse wrangler in Wyoming and six years in the sales department of a store in Chicago and of one in West Bend, Wis. He entered his father's firm, the B&M Department Store in Peoria, working up from salesman to treasurer and president. He was forced to retire in 1950 because of a coronary.

A veteran of World War I, he enlisted first in the American Field Service, serving with the 6th French Army Corps as an ammunition truck driver. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre. When the U.S. entered the war' and the American Field Service was terminated, he took the transport Antilles to return and enlist in this country. The ship was torpedoed, and he spent three hours in the icy waters of the Bay of Biscay.

Elmer Bloom played semi-pro baseball, was a boating enthusiast, was active at one time in Peoria Players, and traveled extensively in Europe, whence he sent back many articles to the Peoria Journal. He was a member of the First Federated Church, the Creve Coeur and University clubs, a Mason and a Shriner. He spent his summers at Scituate, Mass.

In 1937 Elmer married Mariesta Dodge Howland of Rockport, Mass., who died in 1962. Surviving are a duaghter, a son, one brother, and three grandchildren.

Jimmie Cleaves had been ill for several years, and he died on April 29 in a nursing home near his residence in Center Sandwich, N.H. Jimmie will be remembered as a popular and active member of Dartmouth 1912. He was elected class treasurer his freshman year, was a musician, and played in the college orchestra and the college band, of which latter he became leader his senior year. He took part in the prom show sophomore year and was on the junior prom committee.

JAMES HAWKES CLEAVES was born in Medford, Mass., in 1890. He prepared for college at Medford High School and Worcester Academy. At Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa and of Casque and Gauntlet.

His first position was with McElwain Shoe Company, for one year; then for over forty years he was in the banking and investment business, at first employed in the Trust Department of the Old Colony Trust Company in Boston. Subsequently, he represented the Old Colony Bond Department in several Massachusetts cities. He became assistant manager of the First Boston Corporation in 1936, and then took a position in the investment firm of Newton, Abbe & Company, and later one with Hayden, Stone & Company, where he remained until his retirement in 1959. During most of this time he lived in Winchester, Mass., where he was treasurer of the Episcopal Church.

James Cleaves married Helen J. Burton of Cambridge, Mass. in 1914. He is survived by his wife, a daughter and a son, and by several grandchildren. As previously requested by the deceased, there was no funeral service.

LEWIS CLYDE COOKE died in Cooley Dickenson Hospital, Northampton, Mass., on April 27 after a brief illness. The following appreciation of this devoted teacher was adopted in 1955 by the alumni association of Cushing Academy: "Lewis Clyde Cooke, senior master, science teacher extraordinary, friend and counselor to Cushing students since 1914, through his personal example as a gentleman, instructor, coach, and friend, truly represents the best of all Cushing traditions - the teacher."

Clyde was born in Alstead, N.H., in 1890. He entered Dartmouth from Hudson (Mass.) High School and in college was an honor student. Following graduation, he taught at Hudson High School for two years and from there went to Cushing Academy. There he remained until his retirement in 1959, except for one year at Marquand School in Brooklyn, N.Y., and six months in the U.S. Navy during World War I.

At Cushing Academy he was interested in schoolboy skiing while serving as head of the science department. He was influential in encouraging promising students to gain admission to Dartmouth. He organized and coached the first tennis and ski teams at Cushing, founded the outing club, sponsored the first winter carnival and originated the senior year book. Many school yearbooks were dedicated to him. In 1961 a new dormitory was named in his honor.

Summers were spent fishing at his camp in Washington, N.H. Clyde was a trustee of the Stevens Public Library, a Mason, and a member of the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers.

He had married Eva B. Brigham of Hudson, Mass., in 1914. Two years later, Eva died, and in 1920 he married Erma W. Wheeler of Boston. She survives him, together with several nieces and nephews.

In spite of four sessions in the hospital in the last four years Ken Kimball was able to enjoy life until his last hospitalization the night before his death on May 10.

KENNETH CHASE KIMBALL was born in the Beachmont section of Revere, Mass., in 1888. He prepared for college at Medford High School, and at Dartmouth he was on the class football team and played in the college band. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa. He received a B.S. degree from Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering.

On graduation Ken became affiliated with his father's Boston firm, founded in 1897, Richard D. Kimball Company, heating, ventilating, and electrical engineers. At the time of his death he was its president. One of the first mechanical engineering firms in the country, it was responsible for the central heating system at Dartmouth, the first of its kind on the eastern seaboard. Ken made a specialty of designing central heating plants for colleges, hospitals, and large buildings. During World War I the company was awarded several government contracts.

Ken was a member of the Engineer's Club and the University Club, both of Boston, and of the Andover and Nashua (N.H.) country clubs.

He married Elizabeth Wright of Lonsdale, R.I., in 1916. Elizabeth died in 1963, and he then married Alyce Fish, who survives him, together with a daughter and one son, Kenneth Wright '41. There are ten grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Ken was a popular member of 1912 and a frequent attendant at the class reunions, where his friendly spirit added much to the pleasure of all. For the past several years he had served as a member of the class executive committee.

1913

ROBERT OTHEO CONANT (86) died June 3 at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital of a heart attack. Born in Keene, N.H., he entered Dartmouth from Keene High School. Upon graduation from Dartmouth he undertook graduate studies in Romance languages at Yale University for one year.

He is survived by his widow; two sons, David B. and John B.; three brothers; a sister; and four grandchildren.

As class treasurer for so many years, Bob endeared himself to his classmates by enclosing a personal greeting to each with the statements of class dues, and his loss is deeply felt.

THOMAS DONALD CUNNINGHAM died in his home in Denver, Colo., on April 24. He was born in 1889 in St. Louis, Mo., and in another ten days would have been 88.

Don entered Dartmouth from East Denver High School. In college he served as assistant manager and manager of football and vice president and president of the Dartmouth Christian Association. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi and Turtle, and after graduating with a B.S. degree, he entered Harvard Medical School.

Before finishing there, Don went to France with the Harvard Surgical Unit in the service of the British Army in World War I.

Jack, as he was generally known, had lived for many years at 13 Ackerman Road, Saddle River, N.J. The following eulogy at the memorial service in the Zion Lutheran Church there aptly expressed the philosophy of our classmates.

"A man of quiet, unassuming ways, Jack was born in West Lafayette, Indiana, at the turn of the century. He made his way east to Dartmouth for his college years and thence to New York to work for various accounting firms as a certified public accountant until joining Colgate Palmolive Co. as assistant comptroller. Jack and Grace Blythe, married July 13, 1929, found their beloved old farmhouse on a bleak November day in 1935 and thereafter entwined their lives with the pleasures and problems of a small farming community as it grew in size and complexity. Early retirement made it possible for Jack to serve as a volunteer with the International Executive Service Corps to El Salvador, to aid in Red Cross projects, to help with reading for the blind, to be a close friend and advisor to his six grandchildren, and to visit by camper, air, and freighter most parts of the world. His interest in world peace was paramount, and for 31 years he served in various capacities with the World Federalists in their support of the United Nations. In keeping with his philosophy of life, he has given his body for medical research and his eyes so that someone may again have a chance to see."

Jack's survivors include Grace, their son Peter '54, daughters Nancy and Janet, and grandson Peter '80 among the grandchildren. The Class joins them in deep bereavement.

"Because of military injuries in World War II (concussion, paralyzed eye nerve, mildly dislocated spine, and a lot of junk resulting in dyslopia or double vision - classed as unemployable)," he explained in one of his questionnaires, "in 1962 I gave up my regular occupation, executive in sales promotion, merchandising of package foods Moved to Burlington, Vt., from N.Y.C., then to Portland, Me. From 1962-67, attempted 25 mostly outdoor jobs in Vermont but none proved to be permanent breadwinners. Military injuries hampered even outdoor work. Was at Glen Ellen ski area on big lift two winters, at University of Vermont grounds, Vermont state forestry department. When nothing worked, finally reverted to writing, which I'd been doing in army when injured when in training at Fort Jackson, S.C. Couldn't get going with fiction, so went to nonfiction, which brought in photography. Now do mostly photo stories. A rough racket, but, as I say, I love it and am doing better all the time. Don't think of making money. If I did, I'd be a pretty unhappy guy (which I'm not!)."

Bud, known to classmates as the Mad Nomad, gathered the material for his publications in the camper that was his home from Maine to Florida. He published in such well-known journals as Life, Yankee, the New York Times, Boston Sun, Boston Globe, and the Wall Street Journal, as well as in many others.
