HAROLD EVERETT FEAR of 114 St. John Street, Ilion, N.Y., died in the Mohawk Valley General Hospital on May 26, about two months prior, to his 84th birthday.

Among those living classmates who matriculated in 1916, he was our oldest member, having been born July 22, 1894.

He remained at Dartmouth only one year, living off campus as a freshman. In his Ilion High School days he played football and was active in dramatics. He was also the president of his class his junior year. His college activities are unrecorded, but he was known as a gentle, quiet, and friendly young man. He did not return to college after his freshman year, a circumstance not unusual in those war-torn times.

Harold lived most of his life in Ilion, where he was a member of the St. Augustine Episcopal church and an active member of the Ilion Elks Club for more than 50 years. At one time he served his local club as exalted ruler, was a district deputy in his area, and the New York State vice president in 1941.

He retired in 1970 from sales service for the Langdon & Hughes Electric Company of Utica, by whom he had been employed for more than 33 years.

To his family we extend our sympathies.

JOHN VROOMAN WILKIE joined his 1920 classmates in the autumn of 1916, coming from Amsterdam, N.Y. He left them on January 7, 1978, at the age of eighty.

In college "Dutch," as he was known by his classmates, was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and active on the staff of The Bema, a literary magazine. He had charge of the magazine's circulation. A modest, quiet, hardworking fellow, he was a highly respected member of his class.

Following his college career, he returned to Amsterdam and joined the John H. Wilkie Clothing Company, a family firm, where he served as vice president.

In 1934 he shifted his allegiance to the Prudential Life Insurance Company, serving that firm as its local agent. He retired from Prudential in 1962.

In 1925 he married Elizabeth Mitchell, who survives him. Other survivors include two nieces, a nephew, and several cousins. Our heartfelt sympathies go to all, but especially to his wife, who has lost her helpmate of more than 50 years.

Dutch was well known in his native city and area. He was a veteran of World War I, a longtime member of the Elks Lodge, and a Mason in this area for over 50 years.

He retained a youthful quietness and modesty through his life and displayed warmth and generosity in his maturity. We have lost a highly-respected classmate.

1921

HARRY BAXTER GARLAND, a resident of Nashua, N.H., died suddenly on July 8 in Stoughton, Mass.

Harry's business career included employment with Jordan Marsh Company of Boston, George E. Keith Company of Brockton, and then the Brockton National Bank, where he served as assistant vice president up to the time of his retirement.

There was no more faithful and loyal alumnus of Dartmouth than Harry Garland. He and his wife Mary were rarely ever absent from alumni gatherings and activities, and he will be greatly missed. He was active in holding together the 1920-1921 Tuesday luncheons in Concord, as well as the annual picnics at the Burroughs farm in Canterbury, N.H.

His family, his classmates and his many friends and associates will miss Harry's genial presence and his solid reliability, and he always will be remembered as a Dartmouth graduate in every sense of the word, setting an example for all who knew him in carrying on the traditions of Dartmouth College.

He loved Dartmouth and big band music, and attended all reunions, even after the stroke, wheelchair and all, with a side-line pass to football games. Of the few words he spoke, his oft-repeated "Okay!" signified his full participation and enjoyment of reunions.

His three great children once sent up a surprise case of champagne to a fall reunion to show appreciation.

Services in Wyomissing were a sincere and moving eulogy for this popular classmate. The Sayres, Dorans, Erdmans, Bankarts, and Joe DeMay attended.

His family, classmates, and friends were deeply saddened by the death on May 21 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital of JAMES EDWIN SCHWEDLAND '48, victim of a malignancy. Schwed, reared in Wisconsin, first came to Hanover with ROTC during World War II, developed a love for northern New England, joined the Dartmouth Outing Club, became chairman of Cabin & Trail, and graduated as a civilian in June 1948.

Schwed's love of the outdoors led him to take a master's degree in forest management from Yale in 1950. Following several years with Crossett Paper Company in Arkansas, he returned in 1963 to his beloved Hanover. The Dartmouth Trustees, per a grant established by Henry J. McCarthy '31, established the position of educational officer of the DOC to promote the use of Dartmouth's outdoor resources within students' academic and extracurricular activities. Schwed filled this position until 1963, when he became a popular teacher specializing in conservation and ecology at Lebanon High School. He continued to teach until less than a month before his death.

The year of his return to Hanover also saw his happy marriage to Jane Overton Logan, who survives him, along with their daughter, and two stepsons.

"A tire flew off the top of a tractor-trailer... on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, slamming into a car and killing the driver, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania." This was how the death of Jim Cornman was reported in the Philadelphia Bulletin.

JAMES CORNMAN was a technically oriented person when he entered Dartmouth from Haverford School. He left Dartmouth before graduation and worked for several years in textile production with Collins & Ackman. He returned to Dartmouth and received his degree with the Class of 1956.

It was at Dartmouth that Jim's interest in philosophy was awakened, and he determined to follow that field professionally. He earned both a master's degree and a doctorate from Brown University and went on to teach at Ohio State, University of Rochester, and University of Pennsylvania.

Jim was a man of strong views who, as befitted his profession, had thought through many of the issues of our day. He and his wife Betty were active in Democratic party politics in Radnor Township, always upholding the liberal point of view with distinction. At the personal level, he was a strong supporter of the local Radnor ABC Program, and was well known for his quiet personal participation in that effort.

The Class extends its sympathies to Betty and their four daughters.
