Faculty
HEWETTE ELWELL JOYCE, 87, professor emeritus of English at the College, died April 16 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover after a brief illness.
Born in Brunswick, N.H., Professor Joyce was graduated in 1912 from Yale University, where he also earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in 1915 and 1926. He was assistant instructor at Yale from 1913-15, master in English at the Groton School from 1915-18, and head of the department of English at Noble and Greenough School in 1918-19.
He came to Dartmouth in 1919 as an instructor, was made assistant professor in 1920, and was promoted to full professor in 1928. His teaching specialties were Chaucer and the Age of Milton. For many summers, he taught at Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English, where he was acting director during World War II. While there, he became a close friend of Robert Frost. Dr. Joyce was the author of two textbooks and a number of scholarly articles and was past president of the New England Council of Teachers of English.
At the time of his retirement from Dartmouth in 1959, he gave these thanks for his career: "For the associations with people of learning; for friendships too deeply felt to speak of; and, by no means least important, association with youth - for all these parts of a college teacher's way of life I feel deeply grateful."
In 1916 he married the former Eleanor Russell of New Haven, who died in 1976. His daughter Eleanor predeceased him also, and he is survived by his son Hewette E. Jr. He leaves also four grandchildren and a sister.
ANDREW H. MCNAIR, 68, for 39 years a member of Dartmouth's geology faculty, died May 1 at the Brookside Nursing Home in White River Junction, Vt., after a long illness.
A native of Victor, Mont., Professor McNair graduated with an A.B. degree in 1926 from the University of Montana, where he also earned a master's degree. He took a doctorate from the University of Michigan in 1935. Prior to joining the Dartmouth faculty, he was assistant in geology at the University of Montana, where he also served as assistant to the president. Later he spent a year as assistant in geology at the University of Michigan.
Professor McNair joined the Dartmouth faculty as an instructor in 1935 and was promoted to assistant professor in 1937 and to full professor in 1945. He was an expert in paleontology and stratigraphy. In 1940 he was geologist for the New Hampshire Planning Commission and did consulting for several mineral and petroleum firms as well. During 1944 he was on leave from the College to work with the Geological Survey in Washington, D.C., chiefly on mica resources. He also did consulting for Phillips Petroleum and Gulf Oil in the early fifties.
In 1960 Professor McNair participated in the first International Symposium on Arctic Geology, held in Canada. He also spent several summers in the Canadian Arctic islands, doing research. One of his trips to Victoria Island resulted in the discovery of animal fossils older than any previously found. They were preCambrian brachiopods at least 720 million years old. He was one of 20 Americans chosen in 1961 to take part in the first International Geological Field Institute, funded by the National Science Foundation and held in Great Britain. At Dartmouth he served on numerous faculty committees and had been chairman of his department. He held membership in numerous professional societies and also in many local civic organizations.
In 1939 Professor McNair married the former Evelyn Lyford, who survives him, as do their three children, two brothers, and four grandchildren.
1907
WILLIAM COLBY WILDEY died last March at the Alice Peck Day Extended Care Unit in Lebanon, N.H.
Bill graduated from Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H., and was matriculated with our class. He left Dartmouth before graduating, however, and transferred to Hesser Business College in Manchester, from which he took his undergraduate degree. Later, in 1917, he took an LL.B. degree at Northeastern College in Boston.
He served as a buyer for United Fruit company in New York City for over 43 years, after which he retired to Meriden.
In 1907 he married Ella Louise Derry, who died in 1954. Their son, Warren C. Wildey '39, survives him, as do two grandchildren.
1908
JOHN WILLIAM THOMPSON, known to his friends as "Tommy," was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1884 and died in New York City on February 8. He prepared for college at East High School in Cleveland. He was president of the Class of 1908 freshman year and was a member of D.K.E.
His great interest during college and in after life was painting, but, being a practical man, he went to law school after graduation, receiving his L.L.B. in 1911 from New York Law School. For the rest of his life John rode two horses, one as a dedicated artist (usually, as he himself said, a "Sunday one") and the other as a successful patent attorney. Most of his legal life was spent as a member of the firm finally known as Curtis, Morris & Safford.
As an artist he exhibited in many, shows with acclaim.
In 1917 John went through the Plattsburgh Camp training course and received a commission in the U.S. Army. He was in the Field Artillery and spent several months in Washington, being finally mustered out as a first lieutenant.
John was married in 1917 to Dorothea M. Litzenger, also an artist. She died in 1925, and in 1926 John was remarried, to Lucille Arkins, whom he survived by many years.
John was popular among his classmates and was sincere and conscientious. He left no survivors and lived for a number of years alone in his New York home on Mitchell Place.
ELISHA FREEMAN WINSLOW ("Lish") was born in 1884 in Norwood, Mass., and died April 15 in East Falmouth, Mass. He prepared for college at Norwood High School, and while at Dartmouth was on the varsity football squad for all four years.
Soon after graduation Lish became an apprentice with Winslow Brothers and Smith, tanners, at Norwood. He remained with this firm until his retirement in 1949, with the exception of the three years (1912 to 1915) when he was in the employ of Armour and Company, Chicago and Kansas City.
Lish was married to Fannie Mable Thorn in 1914. They had three sons, Elisha Jr., John Churchill, and Robert. Robert and John were both casualities in World War II, which must have been heartrending for the parents.
Since his retirement, Lish had been living a quiet life in a home in East Falmouth which he himself designed and built. It must have been an ideal existence for Lish. He had a large garden to care for and could catch fish, including bluefish and sea bass, from a nearby breakwater. Fannie survives him, and to her and the other survivors the sympathy of his classmates is extended.
1911
BENJAMIN S. LIVINGSTON passed away on April 18. Ben had to leave Hanover after freshman year and return to his home in Albany, N.Y., after his father died. He then went to Rensselaer Polytech in nearby Troy, where he earned a C. E. degree in 1912. But he always maintained a keen and loyal interest in Dartmouth and in 1911.
He first worked with the New York City Public Service Commission, then entered the commercial field with a firm of hydro-electric consulting engineers who were developing an export department. He learned the business by working in the commercial cable section, which was vastly more important then than now, since all cables were transmitted in code and there was no airmail.
The Army called him in 1917 and he was assigned to duty with the Gas and Flame Corps, which later became the Army's Chemical Warfare Service. Returning to the same firm of consulting engineers in 1919, he was put in charge of the Far Eastern department, which was the start of his real life's work - buying and selling steel and non-ferrous products in the Far East. His first long trip lasted 14 months.
In 1920 he joined the Foreign Traders Company and became their Far Eastern department. In 1930 he went into the same business with a classmate from Rensselear. He retired in 1962, but after eight months "fooling around and doing nothing," he incorporated B. S. Livingston & Company, and went back actively into the work he loved so much.
His most exciting experience was in Japan during the terrible 1923 earthquake in which 143,000 people were killed. He left Tokyo for Yokohama on an electric train two or three minutes before noon. At exactly noon he thought the train was jumping the tracks, but actually the tracks were doing the jumping. The first shock had occurred. Open charcoal fires overturned and caused big fires as far as could be seen. Not a train, auto, or ricksha was running, so he started walking towards Yokohama (18 miles), figuring to walk away from the quake but Yokohama was hit even harder than Tokyo, so he had to walk out and around for 30 miles, only to find all his possessions had been wiped out.
He is survived by his wife Gloria. We believe they had no children.
ALFRED NUTT of Hacienda Carmel, Carmel, Calif., passed away at the Beverly Manor Convalescent Hospital on April 9 after a period of failing health.
He was a native of New York City and joined our class from Cliff Side New Jersey High School. In college he was on the class football team and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
From 1911 to 1926 he was employed by a New Jersey corn products company. He then went to Penick and Ford, Ltd., in Cedar Rapids, lowa, where he was a plant executive in a products business until his retirement in 1956.
From Cedar Rapids he moved to Sonoma, Calif., and then to 172 Carmel, on the Monterey peninsula. There he was a member of the All Saints Episcopal Church.
He is survived by his wife, Pauline K. Nutt of Hacienda Carmel, P.O. Box 5397, Carmel, Calif. 93921, and two sisters. He had no children.
1916
SPENCER EDWARDS SULLY died February 28 in Laguna Hills, Calif. Spence came to Dartmouth from Cornwall Heights School in New York City. His fraternity was Alpha Delta Phi. At the beginning of World War I he enlisted in the 69th Infantry, New York National Guard, which became the 165th Infantry in famous 42nd Rainbow Division. He was with this division for two years and took part in eight major battles.
After the war he went into the oil business, later going into business for himself dealing in oil and gas leases. On retirement he made his home in Laguna Hills, Calif.
He is survived by his wife Katherine, three daughters, seven grandchildren, and a brother Wilberforce Sully Jr. '16.
1917
We are sorry to report the death of EDWARD RUSSELL DEWEY at the Presbyterian-University Hospital in Pittsburgh on February 6. Ned was born in 1895 and attended Shady Side Academy, from which he entered Dartmouth. He spent about a year with us, then left to finish his education at Harvard, where he received his B.S. degree, cum laude, in 1920.
After a few years in engineering, mostly with the U.S. Rubber Company, he decided to go into business for himself and founded the Foundation for the Study of Cycles in Nature and Social Science, in which he was active for the rest of his life. As a result, he became co-director of the Center for Cycle Research and an adjunct professor of research at the University of Pittsburgh. Ned also served in Herbert Hoover's administration on the Banking and Industrial Committee and was a chief economic analyst in the Department of Commerce. He published many articles while working in several research study groups.
The number of scientific organizations to which he belonged is amazing; among them are the New York Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a Fellow of the World Academy of Science and in 1972 won a gold medal from the Biometeorology Research Foundation. Ned was also a member of the Cosmos Club of Washington, D.C., and the Harvard Club of New York City.
In 1922 Ned married Catherine Doak, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley. We extend our sympathy to his widow, and to the surviving son, daughter, and grandchildren of this astounding man.
ROBERT DONALDSON SCOTT died rather suddenly on May 6. A few years ago he had undergone a serious operation for the removal of a large tumor, recovering enough to make trips to Florida' as usual and to play his golf and attend class and reunion activities.
Bob was born in 1895, and after attending Bartel (Vt.) Academy he entered Dartmouth. He went on to Thayer School and earned a degree in civil engineering in 1918. In World I Bob became a first lieutenant in the Engineering Corps. Upon discharge in 1919, he worked with the Turner Construction Company of New York and other companies until 1947, after which he became vice president of L. E. Waterman Engineering and Manufacturing Company of New York until he retired in 1955.
After college days, Bob became active in many class and alumni affairs. He chaired his class from 1971 to 1977 and co-chaired with Duke Howe the 60th which was most successful, largely through the efforts of these two men, both of whom were laboring under difficult health problems.
Bob was much interested in golf, so much so that he became a member and officer of many golf associations. He was also a member of the Royal Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, a governing body of golfers outside the United States. As an undergraduate Bob was a member of the Cosmos Club and as an alumnus was president of the Connecticut State Alumni Association (1940-45).
In 1922 Bob was married to Anita Hotchkiss. She, a son, and a daughter survive our genial, loyal, and hardworking classmate. We all shall miss his enthusiasm and his hospitable nature. The wholehearted sympathy of the Class of 1917 goes out to his wife and family.
1918
Word has been received from his daughter Paula Gordin of the death of HOWARD PIERSOL EGAN on January 24 at his home in Delaware, Ohio. Howard apparently withdrew from the College after one year, but his family continued to be very proud of his Dartmouth affiliation. He was in the service in World War I.
His business career was that of a salesman of hospital supplies and equipment.
His first marriage, to Mercedes, was in 1926 and resulted in the birth of two daughters, Johanna and Paula, who are his survivors. His first wife died in 1937. His second marriage, which was in 1941, was also ended by death several years ago.
Howard entered Dartmouth from the Cleveland area. In recent years he had lived in Columbus and finally in Delaware.
Word has been received from several sources of the death of THOMAS O. GROVES on April 29, in Orlando, Fla.
His brother Samuel '31 writes as follows: "He had been living in Orlando for quite a few years, and lately his health had not been good. Several knee operations and some rather severe internal problems along with emphysema had compelled him to use a walker. His love of Dartmouth was, however, undiminished, and his years there were certainly the happiest and most important in his life."
Tom entered Dartmouth from Bradford High School in Bradford, Pa. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Arts, and he was awarded honors in English at graduation.
In 1918-19 he served briefly in the Navy. After his discharge, he returned to Hanover, where he became assistant manager of the Dartmouth Press and an assistant editor of the Hanover Gazette. He then became director of new services for Dartmouth. He was also an instructor in English during the late twenties.
Tom earned a master's degree from Columbia in 1936. From 1944-54 he taught social studies and English, first at the Barnstable, Mass., high school and later at North Attleboro High School. He became head of the English Department at both schools. Interspersed during Tom's teaching career was a considerable amount of writing for various periodicals and the theatre, mainly in the form of poetry, light verse, and lyrics.
In 1941 he married Olive Wenstrom. His son Nicholas was born in 1945 at Hyannis, Mass. Some time later, Tom and Olive separated and remained so. In the late fifties or early, sixties, Tom moved to Florida, residing First in Winter Park and later in Orlando. He is survived by his son and by his brother.
1920
JAMES FRANCIS DANIELL entered Dartmouth in 1916 from Michigan, where he had attended the Menomenee High School.
Dan left Hanover early in World War I. Apparently he transferred to the University of Michigan, for he was enrolled there in the Student Army Training Corps.
His post-college life was connected with real estate. At an early age he became a real estate agent for the Wisconsin Public Service Corporation, which organization he continued to serve until his retirement. The Daniells lived in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
In 1923 he married Myrle Miller, and from this union four children were born, Edward, Patricia Ann, and twins Nancy Jean and Elizabeth Jane. Their mother died in 1949, and two years later Dan married Martha Long. She survives him, as do his children by his first marriage. Our sympathy is extended to his widow and his children.
His wife wrote that Dan died January 25 in Tucson, Ariz., where he was spending the winter.
Dan had two brothers who attended Dartmouth, William I. '15 and John H. '24.
ROGER ASHTON HORTON entered Dartmouth in September 1916 from Stevens High School in nearby Claremont, N.H. He passed on January 23. just a few months short of his 80th birthday.
In college Roger was a highly respected and popular member of his class. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
After graduation Roger joined the Worthington Pump organization and was associated with that company for about a year. Later he joined the William Filene Company in Boston, starting his merchandising career as a stock boy - the usual role assumed by all newly employed young men. Later he became an assistant buyer of dresses. In that capacity he traveled throughout New England and New York State buying store stocks for Filene's Automatic Bargain Basement. Later, Filene opened a new store in nearby Worcester, and Rog was chosen to manage its basement operations, which he did competently until his retirement in 1963.
In 1923 he married Gladys Wallon. They acquired a home at 156 Richmond Avenue in Worcester where Roger spent many happy years. He was an avid gardener and found much pleasure in raising fine vegetables and lovely flowers. Meanwhile he and Gladys raised a son, Roger Jr., and a daughter, Barbara Ann. Unfortunately, Barbara died in 1941. Both Gladys and Roger Jr. survive, and to them we extend our deepest sympathy for their loss, which we share. Roger was a loyal member of his class and of his college.
1921
GEORGE BLANCHARD HARRIS JR., 79, of Unionville, Conn., passed away at his home on April 3. He was vice president and secretary of R. P. Burroughs, Inc., of Manchester, N.H., for 25 years prior to his retirement in 1965. Previous to that he had been an executive of G & C Merriam in Springfield, Mass., for 14 years. He was a Marine Corps veteran of World War I, and he earned the M.C.S. degree from Tuck School in 1923.
At Dartmouth Harris was a member of Theta Delta Chi fraternity and Sphinx Senior Society and was the winner of the varsity baseball "D" for four consecutive years.
He was rated one of the greatest pitchers ever to wear the Green.
He was a former trustee of the Franklin Street Church, president of the Manchester, N.H., Y.M.C.A., and a former director of the Boy's Club of Manchester. From 1938-42 he chaired the school committee in Longmeadow, Mass.
Survivors include his wife, Madeline Hodsdon Harris; two sons, George B. Harris III '5O, and Joel H. Harris, two daughters, Judith Reed and Mrs. Lawrence Bill of Duxbury, Mass., a brother Edmund Harris '29, and 16 grandchildren.
1922
THEODORE EDWARD RASSIEUR passed away November 2, 1977, in St. Louis.
He was born in 1901 in St. Louis, and he lived there throughout his years. He was a brother of our classmate Ben, who died in February 1973, and of George M. '20, who died in 1971.
Ted entered Dartmouth from University School of St. Louis. He was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha and was with our class through junior year. He received the BSC degree in 1924 from Washington University, St. Louis.
His business career, according to our somewhat incomplete records, was chiefly as an investment counselor. He began with Lorenzo E. Anderson Company and a short time later became president of Rassieur Sweeney and Company, Inc. For many years he was also president and owner of the T. E. Rassieur Trend Interpretation Service. Later he was likewise president of the Central Mine Equipment Company.
Ted and Margaret Kuen, a graduate of Washington University, were married in 1927. She and two sons, Theodore and Charles, are his survivors.
RANSOM GILMAN WALLACE, 77, former president of Warren Brothers Company of Cambridge, Mass., died from a heart attack on March 10 at his home in Sarasota, Fla.
Gil was with 1922 during freshman year, and throughout life he enjoyed the friendship of many Dartmouth men and was always interested in the welfare of the College.
He graduated from Boston University Law School in 1923. For the following 15 years he was assistant general counsel at Warren Brothers, a large, wellknown business in bituminous concrete pavements and mixtures. From 1938-46 he was counsel for the American Optical Co., Southbridge, Mass. He then returned to Warren Brothers as general counsel, subsequently became executive vice president, and in 1962 president. He retired six years later and moved to Sarasota.
He and his family lived for many years in Winchester, Mass., where he was long a member of the town's finance committee, chair of the appeal board, and a director of the Winchester Hospital. He was a deacon and moderator of the First Congregational Church. He was a director of the Union Warren Savings Bank of Boston and the Harvard Trust Company of Cambridge. He was a member of the Algonquin Club and the Commercial Club of Boston, likewise the Bird Key Yacht Club and the University Club of Sarasota.
Gil and Helen England, a Radcliffe graduate, were married in 1941. She, their daughter Susan, son David (Tuck '68), and five grandchildren are the survivors.
1923
JAMES MILTON MCCABE died at Putnam Memorial Hospital in Bennington, Vt„ on March 15. He had been in failing health for several years. A native of Cavalier, N.D., he graduated from the Duluth, Minn., high school. At Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.
After graduation Jim traveled for a year and then entered the construction business in Beverly Hills, Calif. In 1925 he and Elizabeth were married and moved to Canada, where he worked in Winnipeg in the grain and feed industry for nearly 20 years. During World War II both were deeply involved in war work. After the war they moved their family to a farmhouse in West Arlington, Vt., which Jim in a 1969 letter described as "bare of furniture, unheated, and just barely plumbed." Followed many years of hard work restoring the farmhouse and the land and educating their three children. During these years, Jim developed emphysema and finally had to give up most of the hard labor involved with Vermont farming. He had, however, become well integrated and greatly respected in the community, and in 1958 he was appointed postmaster, a position he graced for ten years.
During the last 20 years of his life Jim worked closely with Dr. George A. Russell, who had an extensive Vermontiana collection. Following his retirement from the post office, he carried on his abiding interest in Vermont history as curator of Dr. Russell's collection. He was particularly interested in the tracing of local Loyalist families. The following, from a local obituary, is a most appropriate tribute: "The present is poor for the loss of Jim McCabe. The past to which he has gone is so much richer."
Jim's survivors include his widow, the former Elizabeth Tyson, two sons, a daughter, eleven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
LLOYD KELLOCK NEIDLINGER died at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Mass., on April 22, following a long illness. Funeral services were held at the First Congregational Church in Chatham on April 24. The Class of 1923 was represented by Olive and Ted Caswell and Paul Morgan. A memorial service conducted by Preston Kelsey, Professor of Religion at Dartmouth, was held on April 29 at Rollins Chapel. Robert D. Kilmarx '50, Pudges' son-in-law and a Dartmouth trustee, delivered the eulogy. At this service 1923 was represented by Frank and Gladys Doten, Joe and Alice Pollard, Clarence and Priscilla Goss, Walt and Connie Dodge, Ike Phillips, Truman Metzel, and Ted Barstow. Following the memorial service Marion and her family received their friends in the Wren room of Sanborn House, where Pudge's por- trait hangs over the fireplace.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1901, Pudge was a graduate of the East Orange, N.J., high school. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, Delta Omicrom Gamma, Casque and Gauntlet, Round Robin, Outing Club, and Palaeopitus and was one of the founders of Green Key. One of Dartmouth's athletic greats, he won varsity letters in football and hockey in '20, '21, and '22.
Following graduation Pudge was assistant to the president of Peerless Tube Company, from 1923-27. From 1927-32 he was Princeton's varsity hockey coach and also served on the football coaching staff and attended the Princeton School of Architecture. From 1929-33 he worked with several architectural firms in Boston. In 1933 he became assistant dean of the College and in 1934 was appointed dean. In 1950 he was elected president of the National Association of Deans and Advisors. In the words of Johnny Allen at the time of Pudge's appointment as Dean: "Those ten years after graduation were just a journey back home; a journey which led over a road not always smooth nor well-marked, but which brought this friend of ours back to Hanover and to the desk of the much-respected Craven Laycock."
In 1953 Pudge became executive director of the United States Council of International Chamber of Commerce, where he served for ten years. From 1963 to 1965 he was director of college recruiting for International Paper.
We remember Pudge for many things: a lifetime of love and loyalty to the College, remarkable athletic ability, a career that combined business, education, art, and architecture, and most particularly for his sensitive and moving memorial tributes to our departed classmates at two of our most recent reunions. We will miss him greatly.
In addition to his wife, the former Marion Walker, Pudge's survivors include three daughters, Mary Ann Kilmarx, a Rhode Island legislator, Susan McLane, a New Hampshire legislator, and Sally Hudson, as well as eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
GEORGE RICHARD SCAMMON died April 12 at his winter home in Del Ray Beach, Fla., after a long illness. A lifelong resident of Exeter, N.H., and a graduate of Phillips Andover Academy, he was a World War I Marine Veteran. At Dartmouth he was a member of Sigma Chi, Sphinx, and Green Key, and he played on our freshman football team.
After graduation from Harvard Law School in 1925, George joined his father's law firm, Scammon & Gardner, and later founded his own firm, Scammon & Gage. A Rockingham County solicitor from 1931 to 1937, he was Exeter town counsel for 47 years and a judge of the Exeter Municipal Court from 1947 to 1968. He was a director of the Exeter Banking Company, a trustee of the George Wentworth Trust, treasurer of the Exeter Manufacturing Company, a past master and 50-year member of Star in the East Lodge and a member of several other fraternal and professional organizations. In 1975 the New Hampshire Bar Association presented him a citation honoring his 50-year membership in that organization.
George and Hazel (Knight) celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1972. He is survived by his wife, their daughter, and two grandchildren.
1924

He worked at odd jobs and in antique shops while seeking employment on the hill. He was able to volunteer as an intern with Congressman Claude Pepper's staff. A few months later, Pepper appointed Steve his aide on the House Rules Committee.
Although Steve had only been with the Rules Committee since last summer, he was highly respected by his associates for his affability, integrity, and professional talent. He never ceased to find pleasure in every experience, great or small, and so brought delight to those around him. In a life cut too short, Steve had discovered great satisfaction.
Steve is survived by his parents and by his sister and her family.
