Faculty

ALLEN RICHARD FOLEY '20, professor emeritus of history, for 35 years a member of the Dartmouth faculty, died at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital on February 16, at the age of 79. Found unconscious in his Norwich home, he was rushed to the hospital and died there in a short time, probably of a stroke.

Immediately after graduation, Al Foley became the youthful headmaster of Farmington (N.H.) High School, where he remained until 1923, when he left to take an M.A. in history at the University of Wisconsin. From 1925 to 1928, he was a teaching assistant at Harvard while working toward his doctorate. He began teaching at Dartmouth in 1929 and retired in 1964.

Former chairman of the history department, he had been a member of numerous faculty committees and of the DCAC. He served his class as an Alumni Fund agent and, for more than 20 years, as newsletter editor. He received an Alumni Award in 1967.

After his retirement, Al Foley ran successfully for the Vermont legislature, which he served with distinction from 1964 until 1972. He was moderator for the Town of Norwich from 1956 until 1975 and honorary mayor of the village. He was president of the Vermont Historical Society for four years, beginning in 1970.

Professor Foley's American history course entitled "Western Expansion" became a legend at the College under the student nickname of "Cowboys and Indians," terminology which persists among undergraduates to the present day. His ability as a storyteller was put to good use not only in the classroom, but in print and on records, in his famous collections of Vermont humor.

There was scarcely a seat vacant at the memorial service held February 20 at the Norwich Congregational Church, where a predictable variety of Al Foley's friends and neighbors came to pay him honor. The pastors of the Norwich church and the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College and his faculty colleagues, Professor Emeritus Donald Bartlett '24 and Professor Fred Berthold '45, participated in the service. The Dartmouth Aires sang "Men of Dartmouth" for the anthem.

The College has established a memorial fund in his name for the purchase of history books.

ADELAIDE B. LOCKHART, Director of Library Services at Dartmouth College and a nationally prominent librarian, died January 15 in Hanover after an illness of many months. She was 61.

A 1950 graduate of Boston University, Lockhart began her career nine years earlier as an assistant at the Brockton (Mass.) Public Library, work which was interrupted by wartime service in the Women's Army Corps. After the war, Lockhard joined the staff of the Boston Public Library, working in the young people's room and in the reference department, while taking her baccalaureate degree in political science from Boston University. She then took a master of library science degree from Simmons College (1951) and also did graduate work in Paris at the Sorbonne (1953) and at Western Reserve University (1954).

For seven and a half years she served as management research assistant in the Yale University Library, after which, in 1960, she joined the Dartmouth library. She began at the College as assistant librarian and rose to be the chief operational officer of the college's library system.

Widely known professionally throughout New England, she was active in the New England Library Association and served as its president in 1970-71. Lockhart was also a member of the Council of the American Library Association, which she served in many capacities, including membership on its budget committee. For many years she was consultant to the Micropublishing Projects Committee of the association.

In 1976 Simmons College presented to Lockhart its annual Alumni Achievement Award, citing her "distinguished career in academic librarianship and administration."

Lockhart, who for many years had maintained the family vacation home at Ipswich, Mass., had planned to retire there at the end of this academic year.

1908

WARREN "CHICK" CURRIER, who prided himself on being a direct descendant of Eleazar Wheelock, died on December 13, 1977, at La Jolla, Calif.

He was born at Greenley, Colo., in 1885 and prepared for college at Greenley High School. He entered Colorado College, where he spent one year, but in 1906 he transferred to Dartmouth, where he was graduated with the Class in 1908.

While in Colorado College, he became a charter member of the local Sigma Chi fraternity and continued this affiliation at Dartmouth. In college he was prominent in dramatics and music, being a member of the Glee Club, the Choir, and Orpheus, and was in the casts of several college productions.

After graduation, Chick spent a year in Brocton, Mass., and then in 1910, he joined the Imperial Valley Hardware Company at Holtsville, Calif., as a salesman. In 1914 he was made treasurer and in 1915 manager and treasurer. In 1925 Chick became secretary and sales manager of the entire chain, which eventually expanded to 18 stores.

Chick retired in 1951 and went to live in La Jolla, where he spent the remainder of his life.

In 1910 Chick was married to Jessie Ladd Abrams, who predeceased him. He is survived by his son Warren Currier III, two grandsons, and a great-granddaughter.

Chick was very popular in the Class and will be missed. As one of his classmates wrote, "He was a fine fellow, cheerful, good company, and dependable. I was very fond of him."

1911

[In the December issue of THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE appeared, in error, an obituary notice for CLARENCE HOLDEN '11. Mr. Holden is very much alive and well,and we regret the misinformation that led to his untimely appearance in this column. Eds.]

FRANCIS M. QUA of North Tewksbury, Mass., passed away suddenly in Lowell, Mass., on December 18, 1977. He came from a Dartmouth family. His uncle Lester was '80, his father Francis '99, and his brother Stanley '01.

He joined our Class from Lowell, and in college he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. After graduation he attended Harvard Law School and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1914. He became a partner in the law firm of Qua, Howard & Rogers in Lowell in 1917.

In 1915 he was appointed registrar of voters in Lowell and conducted the first registration for the draft. In 1917 he enlisted in the Navy, later went to Officers Training School, commissioned as ensign, and served as deck officer on the U.S.S. Canton, an ammunition transport running between New York and our naval bases in the British Isles. After the war he returned to law practice in Lowell for the rest of his life.

In 1918 he married Mary T. McKee, who passed away in 1953. They had four sons, of whom Alan was killed in the War on Germany in 1944.

During his professional career, he had two separate periods of great activity in the trial courts. The first following return from service, when he became more concerned in conveyancing, probate, and corporation work than with actual trials in court. Then, with the coming of World War II, he found himself launched into another active trial career. Upon completion of that activity, ,he returned to the field of a small city lawyer in Lowell, although retaining his interest in appellate work.

Other activities included serving as attorney for the Lowell Cooperative Bank (which was the beginning of a more or less parallel career in banking). Then for a quarter of a century, he was president of the Lowell Cooperative Bank and for many years trustee for the Lowell Institute for Savings and their chief counsel. He was vice president and attorney for the First National Bank in Pepperell and director and chief counsel for the Union National Bank of Lowell, with which the Pepperell Bank merged.

His civic activities included the presidency of the Lowell Community Chest Association and of the local branch of the International Institute, a trusteeship of the Lowell Boys' Club, and the vice presidency of the Lowell Chamber of Commerce, the presidency of the board of trustees of the Lowell Visiting Nurse Association, and membership in the Yorik Club, the Vesper Country Club, and the Lowell Literary Club. He is survived by three sons and seven grandchildren.

Warren F. Kimball '11

1912

Until June 1976, when he underwent an operation, Jim Oneal was in good health. The surgical procedure left him in a weakened condition and not fully recovered but alert and bright. On October 5, 1977, he suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage, and he died at the hospital in Pasadena, Calif., on the 27th of that month, never having regained consciousness.

JAMES LOUGHLIN ONEAL was born in Louisville, Ken., in 1889. He prepared for college at University High School in Chicago. At Dartmouth he played on the class football team and was a member of Phi Delta Theta.

Jim was a manufacturer of perfumes and cosmetics, having his own business, the Melba Manufacturing Company of Chicago, Ill. He sold this company in 1926 and in 1929 moved to Pasadena, where he retired in 1933.

Golf was Jim's hobby. A member of the Annandale Golf Club since 1929, he was known as one of its best golfers, winning several championships. His holes-in- one were so numerous no one could keep track of them.

James Oneal married Mildred Jones of Chicago in 1913. She survives him, together with one son, William J. '37, a daughter, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. No details of the committal service are available.

Jimmie Oneal was a very popular Dartmouth man and a regular correspondent with some of his classmates. At one time in recent years he served as bequest chairman for 1912.

A belated notice has been received of the death of H. WALTER FLOOD on September 8, 1977, at his home in Maynard, Mass. A considerable part of his business career was spent with the American Woolen Company, although his activities had been somewhat restricted since an illness in 1963. There is no record of family survivors or relatives.

A clipping from the Pawtucket, R.I., Times reported the death of our classmate, ADAM SUTCLIFFE on November 4, 1977, after a long illness. In college Adam was a member of the DKE fraternity and of the Dragon senior society. He received an M.C.S. degree from Tuck School in 1916.

1916

HENRY BURTON LOWE, class agent for 1916, died November 28, 1977. He was one of the best agents this class ever had, and by his enthusiasm and wide personal acquaintance with all members he brought honors to the Class and recognition of himself by receiving the Fred Howland trophy award in 1974. He was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.

Burt majored in chemistry at Dartmouth and spent his entire life in the chemical field, gaining personal distinction by being the only chairman of the New York section of the American Chemical Society who did not hold a doctorate in chemistry. He was a longtime active member of the New York section, serving as program chairman, councilor, and treasurer prior to being elected chairman.

During World War I he was one of the first men selected to concentrate on the making of high explosives, and eventually he became supervisor of this process in a three-state area.

1920

CARROLL EUGENE HILL came to Dartmouth from nearby Pittsfield, N.H. He departed from this world on December 20, 1977, in St. Petersburg, Fla., a few months after his 80th birthday.

In college he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and an ardent outdoor man. During W.W.I, he joined the U.S. Navy, and after service he rejoined his class to graduate in June 1920. He then went on to the Tuck School and received his M.C.S. in 1921. He was wellknown and popular with his classmates.

After college he spent two years with the Eastman Kodak Company, but left Eastman to try his hand with real estate in Florida. Later he saw opportunities in serving as a travel agent, so in 1930 he established himself as the Hill's Travel Agency in St. Petersburg, Fla. He was a pioneer in that field. His eminence in the field was recognized when he was chosen in 1964 to be the general chairman of the 34th World Travel Congress. He was a past president of the Travel Agents' Society Southeast Chapter, a member of the board of directors of Area 6 of the Society from 1962-1968, a member of the board of the Sun Coast Travel Association, a member of the Downtown Rotary Club of St. Petersburg and of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Politically he was an Independent, and his church affiliation was Congregationalist. For a Yankee who went south, he made the transition very successfully.

"Pick" Hill, or "Pappy," as he became known in the South, was a respected member of the 1920 Class. He retained his fondness for Dartmouth throughout his life and kept alive his friendships with Dartmouth men in his area and elsewhere. No doubt he assisted many a Dartmouth man in making his travel plans.

Pick married Olive Potter in Bangor, Me., on Christmas Day 1925. To them a daughter, Jean, was born. His first marriage was terminated by divorce in 1947, and he was remarried to Mildred Ownby in 1953. His wife Mildred, his daughter, a son, and four granddaughters survive him. His brother Elliott '24 also survives him. To all his kin we express our deep sympathy for the loss they have sustained. Their grief we share.

1922

ROGER CHURCHILL BACON, 78, died June 25, 1977, in Cambridge, Mass. His father, George Preston Bacon, was in the Dartmouth class of 1887, and he had three brothers who were Dartmouth alumni. Roger was with 1922 for the first term of freshman year, after which he transferred to M.I.T. He graduated in 1922 from Tufts and later received an M.A. from Harvard. Early in his career, he was an instructor in English, chemistry and mathematics at Syracuse University, Colby College, Wyoming Seminary, Lawrence Academy, and Worcester Academy. He was later employed by General Electric and as a research engineer by Doble Engineering Co., Watertown, Mass. Before his retirement in 1967, one of the devices he had invented for testing transformers was adapted as a federal standard. He and his family lived for many years at 7 Edison Ave., Medford, Mass. He is survived by his wife Mary (Paxon), a son, and a daughter.

ALFRED EDWARD DAVIDSON JR., beloved classmate and most loyal alumnus, passed away December 3, 1977, in Evanston, Ill., where he had been hospitalized for approximately a month.

Ted, as we all knew him, leaves his wife Edith, their daughter Edith, their son Alfred III, and seven grandchildren. With 13 Dartmouth alumni in the Davidson family, the College was a particularly significant bond. Ted's brothers Frederic A. and L. Henry were '14 and '19 respectively. Brother-in-law Donald H. Gray was '24. His son was '51, and six nephews and two cousins were also Dartmouth men.

Ted was born in 1898 in New Rochelle, N.Y., and he entered Dartmouth from high school there. In college he was a highly esteemed classmate, affable to all, noted for the sincerity of his friendship and his willingness to participate actively in worthy causes. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, and, like others in the '22 delegation, his loyalty to Dartmouth was steadfast throughout the years. He worked on the Alumni Fund and contributed to it every year after graduation. He was a long term member of the class executive committee, and there never was a class reunion without Ted and Edith present.

Ted's business career was entirely with the construction industry in the Chicago area. He began as a salesman for the Chicago branch of The Patent Scaffolding Co., Inc. He managed the Chicago office for many years, and for ten years before his retirement in 1963, he was vice president and a director of the company.

He was honored in 1976 for 38 years' service to The Community Renewal Society of Chicago, a churchoriented organization which works in the inner city. He was a deacon and a trustee of the First Congregational Church of Evanston, a director of the Chicago City Missionary Society and of the Onward Neighborhood House, and a member of the Builders Club of Chicago.

Ted and Edith Amy Gray were married in 1924 in New Rochelle. For many years they made their home at 2610 Simpson St., Evanston, Ill. Dartmouth and the Class join Edith and the family in deepest bereavement.

JOSEPH BLAIR WOODS, retired businessman, died December 20, 1977, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Joe was a native of Huntingdon, Pa., born in 1899, and he came to Dartmouth from Huntingdon High School. In college he was a well-known, highly regarded classmate with many friends. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. He majored in economics and was active as manager of the freshman football and track teams and as advertising manager of the student literary magazine, The Bema.

After graduating, he returned to Huntingdon and began his business career with J. P. Isenberg and Son Company, of which he later became a partner. During the thirties he went to New York City, where he was associated with Charles E. Wry Company. He next moved to Grand Rapids, Mich., as advertising manager for the May Company. He served four years with the Second and Eighth U.S. Armies in World War 11. He left the service as a lieutenant colonel and returned to civilian life to establish the Woods Sales Company in Memphis, Tenn. After 14 years of successful ownership, he retired in 1960 and moved with his wife Helen to Fort Lauderdale.

Joe's avocations were yachting, fishing, golf, and traveling. Active in community affairs, he was chairman of the county Red Cross and past president of the Rotary Club. He was a member of the Lauderdale Yacht Club and the local country club. And he kept a special niche in his heart for Dartmouth.

Joe and Helen Langdon were married in 1936 in New York City. For many recent years they lived at 408 Coconut Isle, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The Class of 1922 extends its most heartfelt sympathy to Helen.

1923

WILLIAM NEWTON BLOOD died on November 12, 1977, at the Nashoba Community Hospital in Ayer, Mass.

A native of Pepperell, Mass., Bill graduated from its local high school. At Dartmouth he was a member of the rifle team, Canoe Club, Bait and Bullet, and the Outing Club.

For several years, Bill was in the trucking business in Pepperell. In 1962 we had word that he was then a teacher of math and algebra in the .Nashua, N.H., school system. This was followed by other teaching assignments in Milford, N.H., and in Pepperell schools. He retired from teaching in 1968 and took on a new job at Fort Devens with "Project Transition," an intensive voluntary educational program for enlisted men.

Bill and his wife, the former Mildred Evelyn Holt, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1976. She survives him, together with four sons, a daughter, 14 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

CLOSSON PERRY HOLLEY died on December 4, 1977, at Silver Spring, Md. He had been ill for more than four years with lung cancer but was fairly active in retirement pursuits until the last year of his life.

A native of Danbury, Conn., Clos came to Dartmouth from Danbury High School. He was with us in Hanover during our freshman and junior years.

Clos spent several years after leaving Dartmouth with the Vought Sikorsky Company, then became self-employed in the bicycle business and the rental of two apartment houses which he owned in Washington, D.C.

Clos's first marriage to Anne McCurry (by whom he had two sons, Dwight W. and Covert P.) ended in divorce. In 1945, he was married to the former Louise L. Davis, who survives him, together with their two sons, Perry D.

ROY HALL BURGESS died unexpectedly on November 18, 1977, at his home in Eastport, Me. He was 80 years old.

Roy entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1921, receiving credit for two years at Bangor Theological Seminary. He graduated cum laude with our class and later earned two master's degrees, one in education from Bates College and a second in divinity from Bangor.

Ordained in the Church of the Pilgrimage, Plymouth, Mass., in 1921, Roy also taught history and English for 34 years, 17 of them in Freehold, N.J. He taught, too, in several Maine schools, as well as the Baptist Academy in West Lebanon, N.H.

At various times throughout his teaching career, Roy served as minister for Methodist and Congregational churches in Westmoreland, N.H., Sharon, Vt., and Machias, Monmouth, Union, Norway, and Calais in Maine. He was minister at Central Congregational Church in Eastport, Me., as student pastor in 1920 and 1921 and as pastor in 1955 and 1965. He retired in 1964.

Roy's widow Agnes writes: "The last four years of his life he worked on a religious book, which, with the help of his many friends, was printed last summer. He had the joy of seeing it placed in the libraries of Bangor Theological Seminary and Bates College, and he hoped it would eventually be added to the Dartmouth College library."

Roy's entire life was dedicated to the service of others. With a very limited income, he still found it possible to give a little each year to the Alumni Fund and to continue a love and loyalty to the College that was unique and very personal. In 1971 he wrote: "I am enclosing my Alumni Fund gift. I still consider it only a token, but a sincere one of my appreciation of what I owe to Dartmouth."

Agnes' letter continues: "I was privileged to be with Roy at College on several occasions, at concerts in the chapel, and at his commencement. We have the Dartmouth songbook and the score of the musical for which Sidney Flanigan composed some of the lyrics.

Roy was married in 1922 to Agnes Maybelle Butterfield, who survives him, together with their daughter Mary J. Bego, and five grandchildren.

EDWARD GAYNOR ROE died on December 14, 1977, as a result of complications following a prolonged illness.

Ed was born in New York City and came to Dartmouth from the Pleasantville (N.Y.) High School. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta and Sphinx, won his letter in football, and was a member of the college orchestra.

Ed's daughter, Charlotte Roe Mellars, wrote a very touching poem shortly after her father's death. The following few lines from it tell of her love for him and very well express the memories his classmates have of him.

A man of stature, Yet not above any man. One who tried to make this earth a little better place, Carrying the usual share of human frailties, Yet without a petty bone in his body. His strength will be remembered.

Ed was married to the former Eloise Tarbell in 1939. She survives him, together with their four daughters, Noel Louise, Rebecca Stiles, Charlotte, and Anne, and four grandchildren.

He was taken with severe abdominal pains at a performance of the Icecapades at Madison Square Garden, rushed to the hospital, where the doctors located massive internal bleeding but were not able to determine the source or to save his life. Another of our most loyal and enthusiastic classmates has been taken.

Al was a businessman, a salesman, a community man, a Dartmouth man, and most of all a family man. He was completely devoted to Boots, his wife of 41 years, his daughter Susie, and his son Sandy. Such longterm devotion was his long suit. He spent nearly 40 years, mostly in sales, with one company, J. P. Stevens, rising to manager of the women's wear woolen division before his retirement. He relentlessly served his community of Ridgewood, N.J., in numerous civic posts. And taking over in 1972 as our 11th class agent, he spent long hours in his basement writing personal letters (by hand, every one), phoning classmates, cajoling assistants, and setting new records. His review of our fund-raising history, in our 40th year book, modestly mentions the achievements of everyone except himself. As tribute to his accomplishments, he had been elected to the office of president of the Class Agents Association for this year.

As the legend goes, no salesman has many real friends, for the simple reason that a salesman's success depends upon his getting you to do something you don't want to do. Jake was a living refutation of that statement. His neighbors, his customers, his business associates, and we his classmates and the targets of his Alumni Fund endeavors will testify that he was among the friendliest of persuaders, as well as one of the most successful.

Jake went to Dartmouth after Hackensack High and Andover. He was a member of Phi Gam. He is survived also by a sister Helen and by two Dartmouth brothers, Ed '36 and John '39.

1937

GEORGE REID ANDREWS was found dead in his garage in Wausau, Wis., November 3, 1977, an apparent suicide, according to the police. The pity is that he had so much enjoyed reunion last June and appeared to be the picture of well-being and good health.

He received his master's degree in sociology from Yale and his medical degree from Duke. He interned at Marine Hospital in Seattle and completed his residency at Yale.

HARRISON A. COOKE died December 7, 1977, in Burlington, Vt., at Appletree Point, the retirement home he had built largely himself with the help of family and friends. "Cookie" (also known as Harry) had long suffered from asthma and other allergies, but in 1976 he was diagnosed as having Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), known widely as the Lou Gehrig disease, that paralyzes all muscles, with no known cause or cure.

He attended- Burlington schools. While at Dartmouth he majored in geology, was a member of Kappa Sig, and a member of the ski team. He received his M.S. from the University of Vermont in zoology. He taught sciences in Vermont schools for four years, in the meantime marrying Kathleen Donahue. In casting about for a bigger teaching challenge he received offers from six schools and two colleges. He chose Westminster in Simsbury, Conn., in spite of its being "too far south." They decided to try it for a year. They stayed until 1976! During this time he became practically a legend as a teacher of sciences, skiing, coaching, and all that goes into inspiring young men to learn well their tasks from a loved and respected mentor. He established work shops on photography, a biology lab, and even predicted the present oil shortage. He was instrumental in setting up a proper ski area (in spite of being "too far south," it worked). Kathy wrote in January that she attended a dedication of this area in his name complete with a bronze plaque appropriately mounted nearby.

During the final portion of his illness he remained at home where he could look for miles down the valley. There he made time to make a radio broadcast ex- plaining to the public what A.L.S. is and about the A.L.S. Society of America that handles it.

He leaves his wife, a son James, and a daughter Kit.

From all we read about him he was quite a guy. We are only sorry we did not get to see and know him through the years of his dedicated life.

The two rejoined in the late forties, when Les was Wyler's assistant on the productions of The Best Years of Our Lives and Roman Holiday.

His longtirhe interest in jazz resulted in teaming with Ward Kimball, a Disney animator, to record Kimball's band, the Firehouse Five plus 2, on their brand new Good Time Jazz label. Their first break came from a Firehouse Five appearance on Bing Crosby's Kraft Music Hall radio program, and they were soon swamped with orders. Next he set up Contemporary Records to handle more modern- sounding music. Through the years these two companies recorded many of the West's best known jazz men.

Les was a well-known, respected, and important man in his field.

He was twice married, lastly to former singer Joy Bryan. Survivors include Joy, four children, and a brother, Julian '41.

We are indebted to Frank Danzig for providing us with all the above, as Les did not participate in class activities through the years, much to our regret.

COLIN CAMPBELL MACLEOD JR., 62, died of cancer December 12, 1977, at the Washington Hospital Center, Washington, D.C.

Raised in Boston and on Cape Cod, "Sandy" graduated from Middlesex School in 1934. At Dartmouth he was a member of Psi Upsilon and the Dragon Senior Society.

Sandy served as lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy in World War II, flying combat submarine patrol on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Among his military decorations were the Atlantic, the Asiatic, and the Pacific Theatre combat ribbons.

Following the war, Sandy, who had been a polo player and fox hunter prior to his naval service, began to build up his own farm, Dunvegan, in Upperville, Va. There he raised thoroughbred race horses and ran them each year at Saratoga and Belmont. One of his best homebred, yearlings, "Besomer," won 13 races and ran in the Kentucky Derby.

Sandy piloted his own twin-engined Apache plane between Virginia and New York over the years in carrying on the day-to-day business of breeding and racing horses. He and his family spent half of the year on his antique houseboat, Yacht Dunvegan, a 60footer converted into a comfortable home away from home. Each summer he lifted anchor and cruised up the Hudson River for the annual races in Saratoga, where he would remain until the end of the season.

Sandy was president of the Ivy Hill Cemetery in Upperville, vice president of the Clan MacLeod Society of America, commodore of the Goose Creek Yacht Club, member of the Rockaway Hunting Club of Cedarhurst, Long Island, member of the Dartmouth clubs of New York and Washington, D.C., and of the Middleburg Tennis Club.

Proud of his Scottish heritage, Sandy frequently wore his kilt for special occasions. Many times he and Dame Flor MacLeod, chief of the MacLeod clan, exchanged visits between Dunvegan Farms and Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye.

He was well-known as an expert rider, jumper, fox hunter, skier, photographer, both combat and civil air pilot (having logged almost 10,000 hours in the air), yachtsman, gourmet cook, bon vivant, raconteur, and good friend of many. At his funeral on December 14, a bagpiper played laments.

Sandy is survived by his wife, Ann Kivlighan MacLeod, and his son, Colin Bruce MacLeod, a senior at Holderness School in Plymouth, New Hampshire. Sandy and Ann would have celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary on Christmas Day, 1977.

JOHN FOWLER GILE JR. died peacefully on Friday, January 6, at the Veterans Administration Hospital in White River Junction, Vermont, following a valiant three-and-one-half-year struggle with a paralyzing stroke which he suffered in the fall of 1974.

Jack is survived by his wife, Sally (Charlotte Lyman); daughter Susan, who last summer married John S. Olbrych '77 of Palo Alto, Calif.; and a son, Dewey - currently enrolled at Vermont Academy. Jack Gile's other family members include a brother, Amos W. Gile '51, owner of Roberts Flowers in Hanover; and two sisters: Jane, who is married to Howard Chivers '39, manager of the Dartmouth Skiway; and Nancy, married to Charlie Holt '45, veteran hockey coach at the University of New Hampshire. Jack was a son of Dr. John F. Gile '16 and Nettie (Edmunds) Gile of Hanover, where Dr. Gile was one of the founders of the Hitchcock Clinic.

A graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy '41, Jack entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1945, and spent three years serving with the United States Army in the European Theatre during World War II. After graduation he entered the insurance field, serving with the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Company of Manchester for several years before joining, in 1951, the A. B.

Jack was also active in community affairs, serving as president of the Marauder Booster Club, a supportive organization for athletics at Hanover High; and was a former member of the Hanover Lions Club and a recent member of the Norwich Lions Club.

During the funeral service the minister read a moving tribute to Jack, composed by his son and daughter, which recalled his capacity for giving and caring, an appropriate summation of what Jack meant not only to his family but to so many of us who were privileged to call him friend.

1947

EDWARD MARSH SANSOM JR. died suddenly of a heart attack on December 6 while playing tennis near his home in Basking Ridge, N.J. An ardent devotee of the game, Ted would have approved of the circumstances, but his premature death at age 51 was a tremendous shock to his family and friends as well as the end of a brilliant 30-year career with Exxon Research and Engineering Company.

Born in Cranford, N.J., Ted graduated from the Hill School in Pottstown, Pa., in 1944 and entered Dartmouth's V-12 program. After receiving his A.B. degree in 1947 and his M.S. in mechanical engineering in 1948, he joined Exxon. His superior capacity for analysis and coordination earned him steadily increasing responsibility.

Some of his projects at Exxon included a review of the $12 billion Saudi Arabian gas-gathering project, a general survey of Western European metal fabricating capability, an analysis of labor needs for construction projects in Alaska, Venezuela, and Scotland, and planning the engineering and construction requirements for a major gas-gathering facility on the Canadian Arctic coast of the Beaufort Sea.

Despite his travels and responsibilities, Ted played a major role in helping his wife, the former Cynthia L. Smith (Wellesley '52), raise three fine sons. In addition to a lively sense of humor and obvious enjoyment of family and friends, Ted's personal benchmark was his enormous reservoir of energy. If he met a mountain, he wanted to climb it, and he thought water was meant for sailing, the rougher the better. An enthusiastic skier, he was a founder of a local junior high ski club and sponsor of another. He was also a member of the Bernards Township Recreation and Parks Committee and a trustee of Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church.

In addition to his wife and children, of 38 Fieldstone Drive, Basking Ridge, N.J., Ted is survived by his mother and sister. Ted lived his life with gusto, style, and humanity and he is sorely missed by all.

1973

It is my sad duty to report the recent death of LAWRENCE A. ADELMAN. Larry had been suffering from cancer for approximately 18 months, and on January 24 he died peacefully in his sleep. A native of Newton, Mass., he graduated from Newton South High School in 1969 and entered Dartmouth that fall. While at College he was an announcer for WDCR and a reporter for The Dartmouth. He was intensely committed to the anti-war movement and was twice arrested in demonstrations during the spring of 1970. Following graduation he worked as a reporter for the Middletown (Conn.) Press until the fall of 1975, when he entered Boston College Law School. He completed a year of classes and then withdrew the following fall as the cancer undermined his strength.

Larry was a person of tremendous strength, honesty, generosity, and goodness. As his body succumbed to the ravages of cancer, his will remained unbroken and indomitable. He pushed himself to the limit, and he remained passionately involved in the world and in people. He was an enthusiastic participant in a support group for cancer victims and their families. Larry's spirit sustained not only himself but also his friends.

Larry's illness drastically reordered his whole life, forcing him to abandon all long-term plans and to concentrate instead on making each day as full and satisfying and beautiful as possible. He lived his last year doing just that, and in so doing he served as an inspiration of courage and dignity to those around him. Even now that he is dead, the beauty and courage remain.
