Faculty & Administration

Jost MARIA ARCH, professor of Spanish emeritus, died at a hospital in Walnut Creek, Calif., on October 13 after a period of failing health. He was 84.

Born in Santo Domingo, Costa Rica, he had been a member of the Dartmouth faculty for 33 years at his retirement in 1961. He had taught Spanish, with particular emphasis on Latin America.

He received his A.B. degree from Columbia University in 1922 and an A.M. in 1923. He did postgraduate work at the Universidad de Madrid and Centro de Estudios Historicos from 1923 to 1926. In the summer of 1924, he studied at the Universite de Dijon and in the fall of that year studied at the Instituto di Magistero in Venice.

After teaching at Columbia and Hunter College, he became an instructor in Spanish at Dartmouth and was promoted to assistant professor in 1929 and to full professor in 1941. He was also a member of the faculty of the Middlebury Spanish School for several years and a visiting professor at both Duke and Ohio State Universities.

In 1959, he was appointed a member of the Academia Costarricense de la Lengua in his native country, and he had been a correspondiente de la Real Academia Espanola since 1968. He was a life emeritus member of the Modern Language Association and of the American Association of University Professors.

He married Beatrice Galimberti of Turin, Italy, in 1926. She survives him, together with their daughter and six grandchildren.

E. JEANETTE GILL, 77, manager emeritus of the Dartmouth Dining Association, died on October 11 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover.

Manager of the DDA for 17 years, from 1951 until her retirement in 1968, she planned three meals a day for about 2,200 hungry college students. She supervised a staff of 80 people who prepared and served the food at Thayer Hall, at the Tuck School, and at the snack bar in the Hopkins Center.

Jeanette Gill first came to Dartmouth in 1932 as manager of the Dartmouth Outing Club House, where most of her clientele was alumni; "the easiest people to serve and care for are alumni," she once observed.

In 1942, she joined the Women's Marine Corps as a first lieutenant, working on Marine food service at various East Coast bases. She left the service with the rank of major and later became a lieutenant colonel in the inactive reserve. After World War 11, she resumed her post at the DOC House and, in 1951, was promoted to manager of the DDA.

A native of South Dakota, she earned a B.A. in home economics in 1923 at the University of Nebraska, where she remained on the staff for a year following her graduation. She then taught home economics at the University of Tennessee.

She was a resident of West Lebanon, N.H., and is survived by one sister.

1911

LIN-YI HO passed away on June 21 at a hospital in Newport Beach, Calif., near Irvine, where he had made his home with his daughter.

Lin-Yi was born in 1888 in Shanghai, China, where he lived until 1909. For the next three years, he was a student in this country, spending'one year each at the University of Wisconsin, Dartmouth, and the University of Pennsylvania, which awarded him a master's degree in liberal arts. Upon returning to China in 1912. he found the country in utter confusion, which only increased through the two World Wars.

In 1948, a period of tremendous inflation in China, Lin-Yi wrote a letter published in the ALUMNIMAGAZINE which said: "My monthly salary amounts to hundreds of millions, but in terms of your currency it is a trifling amount. . . . Last week I had a haircut, shave, and shampoo and it cost me $1,600,000." After the crash and collapse of 1949, Lin-Yi lived behind the Iron Curtain for 12 years before his escape to this country in 1961.

In 1966, Lin-Yi wrote a fascinating history of his life for the 1911 newsletter, excerpts of which follow. "Married in Shanghai in 1918. One son who died in Shanghai in 1950. Another son who came to the U.S. as a student in 1950 died in 1958. Next, a daughter who has been in the U.S. since 1948. Member of AF&AM in Shanghai until all Masonic Lodges ceased to function in 1951. One of my earliest sufferings . . . was the dearth of news during my 12 years behind the Iron Curtain, police visits, and their constant checkups.

"Thus I have come back," he concluded, "to the land of the free after all the misfortunes and losses, trials and tribulations, stress and strain. . . . Like an imprisoned bird out of a cage, I enjoy and treasure the peace and happiness which go with freedom. At the same time I have become better able to withstand hardships and difficulties, more easily contented with the good things on this good earth, deeply grateful for the opportunity of living in a free country, and more appreciative of what kindliness and good will mean to mankind."

Lin-Yi is survived by a brother-in-law, Francis K. Pan '26, and his daughter, Julia Ho Wang, who reported that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and letters from classmates brought him happiness and fond memories during his final years.

PETER KIEWIT, 79, builder of one of the world's largest construction companies and a very generous benefactor of Dartmouth, died on November 2 in his native city, Omaha. President John G. Kemeny, plainly saddened, said at a convocation in Dartmouth Hall: "I have extremely distressing news that will upset you as much as it does me. Peter Kiewit, a very dear friend, one of the dearest alumni of the College, one who did so much for computing, and a classmate of mine, has died." And, after observing a period of silence, "It is very hard for me to think about computing without thinking of Peter."

Peter was one of 11 boys from Omaha in the class of 1922 and he was a brother in Phi Gamma Delta. He left after freshman year to work in his family's modest building concern. In 1960, he received an honorary doctor of laws from Dartmouth. He was the principal donor of the Kiewit Computation Center, which has added so much to the academic vitality and the prestige of Dartmouth.

Peter began his business career as an apprentice bricklayer before he became president of Peter Kiewit Sons' Company in 1931. His leadership developed a corporate empire valued at more than $400 million. In addition to working on many gigantic construction projects, the company operates extensive coal mines in Wyoming and Montana and a quarry in New Mexico.

1926

Word was recently received that EDWARD BUCKMAN has been deceased for about ten years. The news came from the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Virginia in Richmond, with which he had been associated. He was with the class during freshman year, having come from Haileybury High School in Cobalt, Ontario. No other information concerning Ted or his survivors is known.

The 1926 family and Dartmouth friends have been deeply saddened by the passing of WALTER MESERVE RANKIN. Walter died in his sleep on October 14 at the Falmouth, Mass., Hospital of respiratory complications after a brief illness.

Following a family tradition, Walt entered Dartmouth from Dorchester High School, following his father Walter P. '00, great-grandfather Andrew 1823, and step-grandfather Henry O. Cushman 1887. In his undergraduate years Walt was manager of the Players and a member of the Council on Student Organizations, Phi Kappa Psi, and Casque and Gauntlet. Since graduation, he had taken an active part in alumni affairs, serving as vice president of the Rhode Island Association and chairing the committee for 1926's 35th reunion. He was also active in the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was a member of the standing committee of the New Hampshire Society, and was a trustee of St. Dunstan's College of Sacred Music in Providence.

Walter's entire business career was with the New England Telephone Company, in which he held various supervisory and managerial posts in Massachusetts and Rhode Island until his retirement in 1967.

He was married in 1933 to Eleanor "Billie" Marsh who survives him, together with a son Andrew, a daughter Marsha Rankin Piatt, seven grandchildren, a brother Kenneth, and a sister Marjorie R. Smith (wife of Spencer Smith '22). The class extends its heartfelt sympathies in their loss.

Walter was a special person in the eyes of all who knew him: warm, outgoing, gentle, and imbued with a spirit of kindliness and human understanding. He was devoted to his family and friends and ever-thoughtful of their interests and activities.

The class of 1926 has, indeed, lost one of its most loyal and beloved members.

Jildo had been ill for a good many years but had kept up his activities with the College and his class in spite of his handicap. His staunch attendance at football games in a wheel chair, his devotion to the class and the College, and his love of life were an example to all of us.

Jildo prepared for college at Montpelier, Vt., High School and while at Dartmouth played for the band and majored in French. He was secretary of our class from 1963 to 1965. Jildo's career was mainly in government work and he was an early employee of the Social Security Administration, where he rose to be chief of research and analysis before moving to the Labor Department. He also worked with the Neighborhood Youth Corps and the Manpower Administration. He was retired on disability in December 1975.

Several years ago, when his illness began to progress, Jildo very thoughtfully wrote his own obituary for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. In his instructions, Jildo stated that his greatest wish was to be able to make the trip to Hanover for the 50th reunion of our class. This heartfelt gesture speaks for itself of the man and of his love for Dartmouth.

1935

SEYMOUR MILLSTEIN, who had two careers - neither well-known to his classmates, died of a heart attack on September 29 while on a business trip to Taiwan. Both of Sy's careers stemmed from the career of his father, a vice president of the venerable New York Merchandise Company, an importer of Far Eastern merchandise, whose stately building still stands on Manhattan's West 23rd Street. Because of this family connection, Sy was one of the few Americans with any knowledge of Japanese when World War II erupted. He was quickly assigned to the school of Edwin O. Rieschauer (later ambassador to Japan) at Harvard and to the Office of Naval Intelligence, where he began interrogating Japanese prisoners and eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant commander. Near the end of the war, he was also assigned to General MacArthur's staff.

After the war, Sy continued his Japanese connection in the importing business, becoming intimate with a number of Japanese families as few Americans are. First as a buyer and eventually as president of his own firm. Millstein International, he spent several months of each year on buying trips to the Far East; his Westport, Conn., home was almost an Oriental museum.

A man whose grave mien concealed a marvelous sense of humor and a dry, acerbic wit, Sy was steadfastly loyal to his class and the College. Our deepest sympathies go to his widow Renee and his son Philip.

AMOS LLOYD KRUM died of diabetes in his home town of Reading, Pa., in March.

Dude's autobiographical comments in our 25th-reunion book provide poignant background information in view of his continued medical problems. He wrote, in 1963: "My years at Dartmouth are never to be forgotten. . . . Illness my junior year forced me to make up credits later to gain my degree. . . . The second World War interrupted all plans." (As a naval aviator, Dude was awarded the Purple Heart and the Air Medal.) "Seven years and as many ulcers later . . . a good bit wiser and a few more dependents to keep me awake, saw me hitting the road as a manufacturer's representative, my present occupation."
