Faculty

Alvin Louis Pianca '23 died at his summer home in Dennis, Mass., on July 19.

Al was born in Milford, Mass., where he attended high school. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1923, earned a master's at Harvard, and also received degrees from the Sorbonne, the Centros Historicos in Madrid, and the University of Puerto Rico. He joined the Dartmouth faculty as an instructor in 1925, became a full professor in 1940, and retired in 1966. His field was the romance languages of Spanish and Italian. At the time of our 44th reunion, he was honored by a citation from the College, praising his long career as a teacher, the important books he authored, his extensive graduate studies, and the outstanding accomplishments of his two children in the field of education.

Al was a member of the Modern Language Association, the American Association of Teachers of Spanish, the American Association of Teachers of Italian, and the American Association of University Professors.

Al was also devoted for many years to the work of Aquinas House, where his funeral mass was held on July 21, with monsignor William Nolan officiating. His survivors include his wife, the former Belinda Cancel-Acosta whom he married in 1930, son Alvin H. '55, daughter Alicia, and three grandchildren.

Andrew J. Scarlett '10, New Hampshire Professor of Chemistry emeritus at the College, died July 8 at his daughter's home in South'Windham, Me. His death will be mourned by generations of former Dartmouth students who learned their undergraduate chemistry from his rapid-fire lectures.

Born in 1889 in West Boylston, Mass., Scarlett joined Dartmouth's Chemistry Department as an instructor in 1911, the year following his graduation from the College. He taught at Dartmouth for the next 45 years, with just two interruptions - one from 1913 to 1917, during which time he earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at Columbia University, and another in 1945, when he served for a year as head of the chemistry department at the U.S. Army University in Biarritz, France. Scarlett was promoted to assistant professor in 1918 and to full professor in 1925, later being honored by appointment to the New Hampshire professorship of chemistry. He was the author of three nationally recognized and widely-used college chemistry texts.

Scarlett was active in community and in College affairs. For several years in the mid-forties, he chaired the executive committee of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. He was awarded the Veteran's Medal for 50 years of membership in the Masons, and he belonged also to Sigma Xi, Alpha Chi Sigma, Gamma Alpha, Phi Lambda Upsilon, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

He served the College devotedly for over 50 years. He was a member of the Alumni Council from 1946 to 1950, was class agent from 1931 to 1935 and from 1940 to 1946, and was a member of 1910's executive committee at the time of his death. He was presented a Dartmouth Alumni Award in 1963.

Scarlett is survived by his daughter, Marjorie Miner, and by two grandchildren and two great- grandchildren.

Arthur McCandless Wilson, Daniel Webster Professor emeritus, died June 12 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, following a brief illness. He was 76.

"He can teach and he will teach, but nothing can prevent him from constructive scholarship," Professor Donald Bartlett '24 wrote in 1933, recommending him to a Dartmouth president openly skeptical of pedantry at the possible expense of pedagogy.

Teach he could and did, for 34 years at the College, first biography, later government as well. He directed the Great Issues course and the Senior Fellow program. He taught before he came here at a rural school in South Dakota, at Grinnell, at Harvard; during his tenure here, as a visitor at other universities; after retirement, on the graduate faculty at Columbia. Testimony to his brilliance in the classroom was a teaching prize established in his honor.

That "nothing could prevent him from constructive scholarship" was amply demonstrated and widely acclaimed in the world beyond Hanover. His first book, published in 1936, won the American Historical Association's Herbert Baxter Adams Prize. Recognition of his scholarly achievement culminated in the 1973 National Book Award for his two-volume biography of Denis Diderot, the French encyclopedist. Work on Diderot extended over 36 years, taking Arthur and Mazie Wilson repeatedly to France, to England, to Russia. Mrs. Wilson survives her husband at their Norwich, Vt., home.

Named a Rhodes Scholar from Yankton College in South Dakota, Wilson earned three degrees at Oxford and both a master's and a doctorate at Harvard. Dartmouth awarded him the customary M.A. in 1940, when he became a full professor, and the Litt.D. in 1973. He also held a Litt.D. from his alma mater.

Religion Professor Fred Berthold '45 presided at a memorial service June 30 at Rollins Chapel. Columbia Professor Richard F. Kuhns '45 spoke as a former student, Professor Bartlett as a faculty colleague, and Professor Agnes Raymond of the University of Massachusetts as a colleague from the profession at large. The Concord String Quartet played at the service, and, immediately following, the Baker bells pealed "Dartmouth Undying," at Arthur Wilson's specific request.

1910

Ralph Warren Taylor died at his home in Andover, Mass., on July 8. He had celebrated his 91st birthday on June 25.

At Dartmouth, Ralph was on the varsity track team and his class track and football teams, and he was a member of the skiing division of the D.O.C.

After graduation, he worked for seven years in the engineering department of New England Telephone & Telegraph. He served a year in the Navy during World War I and then joined his father in the family's glass and building materials business in Lawrence. From 1939 until his retirement in 1958, he was employed by the Lawrence Plate and Window Glass Company.

Ralph was a member of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Lawrence, a director for five years of the Y.M.C.A. there, a deacon emeritus of the Lawrence Congregational Church, and a 50-year member of the Masons.

After service with the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I, he joined the Boston advertising agency of Chambers & Wiswell, of which he was made vice president in 1928. In 1934, he became an advertising consultant with the Charles H. Tenney Company, gas and electric utilities consultants in Boston. He also worked as an advertising consultant for Hunt Rankin Leather Company. He retired in 1964 from a successor company of Charles Tenney.

He was active in the Lawrence Light Guards Veterans Association, the Grace Episcopal Church of Medford, and the Bostonian Society, and he was a former president and director of the Royall House Association of Medford. He made his home in Medford until moving to Melrose some 35 years ago.

In 1921, Derby married Mabel Bernice Whittier, who survives him. He also leaves a daughter, Jeanne H. Shanklin, and two grandchildren.

EDGAR CHAMPLIN EARLE died on June 4 after a short illness. Arch, as we knew him, was born in Cambridge, Mass., in 1894, and came to the College from Roxbury Latin School, where he was interested in music. At Dartmouth, Arch continued playing the piano for many affairs and at the old Nugget movie theater. At class reunions he furnished many happy hours playing old songs for us to sing. In college he also was in the Glee Club, of which he became leader in his senior year, and was class chorister and a member of Rake and Roll. Arch was newsletter editor in 1973, and a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity.

In his business and professional life, Arch started as personnel officer for the New York City Bankers Trust Company, of which he later became vice president. For a time he also was head of the English Department at Katherine Gibbs School and was also for 10 years an associate professor at St. John's University.

Arch's wife died a few years ago. He is survived by a son, Sanford N. Earle '50. The sympathy of the class of 1917 goes out to this fine young man and to other relatives. Arch will be sorely missed by many classmates and friends.

CARROLL EDWARD VALENTINE passed away on July 19 at the Norway Nursing Home. Val was born in Bethel, Me., in 1894. He entered Dartmouth from Gould's Academy, where he was salutatorian. In college he was interested in engineering and in the Dartmouth Christian Association. He earned a B.S. degree, but after serving a year in the Army Signal Corps in World War I, he spent two years studying nights at Lowell Institute (a branch of M.I.T.) to perfect his knowledge of electrical engineering.

After a brief time with the Boston Elevated Railway as an electrical assistant, he went to Pittsburgh in 1923 to work for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which awarded him its Order of Merit in 1950. He also helped design the electrical equipment for the first atomic submarine.

He began his prominent legal career with the firm of Murray, Aldrich & Webb, predecessor of today's Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy. In 1929 he wrote The Transfer of Slock, still a leading authority in the field. Through the thirties he played an important role in drawing contracts for the Rocke- feller Center, of which he was an officer and director.

Bart was a true and good friend to all who knew him. No commentary on his life could adequately do total justice to his nature and his character. His love for Dartmouth was strong and obvious, from the time he entered right up to the time of his death. Dartmouth was a major influence in his life, and he passed his love for the College on to his son Bob '59. He cared greatly for our College, his instructors, and his classmates. As one who knew him intimately wrote of him, Bart "may not go down as one of Dartmouth's noisiest supporters, or biggest benefactors, but there are not many who could match him for his fierce and unswerving loyalty." A modest man in many ways, he loved his family, his country, and his College. All who knew him and associated with him will miss him. Bart is another member of the Dartmouth family whose whole adult life was a strong influence in the building of "The Dartmouth Spirit."

He is survived by his wife Catherine, three daughters, and his son.

WALTER HENRY KOPF, retired real estate executive and unforgettable baseball player, died May 21 in a Cincinnati hospital, following a long illness.

In college he was an active, highly admired classmate, esteemed for both his athletic talent and his affability. He was the first man in the class to win a varsity letter in baseball. His play at both second base and shortstop was spectacular. He was also captain of our championship class basketball team, and he later played on the varsity. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and Sphinx.

Later on, Wally was on a New York Giants team that defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series. He also played in the Pacific Coast League and the Southern League.

Andy and Charlotte Hill were married in 1929. Her passing in August 1977 deeply bereaved all who had the privilege of knowing her. The College and the class now with sorrow join Andy's survivors: his son, his three grandchildren, his brother, and his sister.

1923

JOHN HARKINS died in March at San Bias, Mexico, where he had gone to live for health reasons in 1959. He was born in Boston and graduated from Boston Latin School.

They had two daughters, Maia and Sheila. After 15 years of marriage Johnny and Anne were divorced and both remarried. Johnny and his new wife, Josephine Caldwell, moved to California, where he wrote for the movies. Josephine died later in an accident.

JAMES DITTMAN LANDAUER died in New York City on July 20 following a long illness.

A graduate of Horace Mann School, Jim was on the basketball and tennis teams at Dartmouth. His fraternity was Chi Phi. Following graduation, he attended Harvard Law School.

Jim's brilliant business career began with the Douglas Elliman Company in 1924. In 1936, he became vice president of Webb & Knapp. Between 1941 and 1945, he served as executive officer and secretary of the general staff of the Central Flying Training Command. After the war, he founded James D. Landauer Associates, Inc., which he headed until 1974. In 1962, he also became president of Grand Central Building, Inc., which constructed the Pam Am building.

Jim's other activities are too numerous to list in their entirety. A few of the more important were director of Consolidated Oil and Gas, Erie Lackawana Railway, and East River Savings Bank; past president of the Real Estate Board of New York; trustee of the New York Historical Society; and past trustee and deacon of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.

Jim served as president of the Dartmouth Alumni Council in 1964 and 1965 and received an Alumni Award in 1967. At the time of his death, he was a member of the 1923 executive committee.

Fewer people know about some of the interests most dear to his heart. Years ago, he sponsored summer softball tournaments at Dartmouth for boys from nearby camps; he was trustee of a New York orphanage; and he established a fund in his name to support special projects of the Dartmouth library.

Loyal and generous, he will be greatly missed by the College and the class.

Jim's wife Ruth died in January of this year. He is survived by three daughters and three grandchildren.

The class was also represented by Florence and Babe Miner, Olive and Ted Caswell, Priscilla and Clarence Goss, Jim Hennessy, and Opal Marie Zimmerman. Charlie Zimmerman said: "Charlie had a love of life. He never found life empty because he always put something of himself into it. It has been said that to look back on life with some satisfaction is to live twice. Thus Charlie not only lived twice but left a legacy of good deeds which will endure far beyond his mortal life."

He leaves a brother and sister, his wife Debbie, a 12-year-old daughter, and a 7-year-old son. So much for the stuff of obituaries.

John was possessed of a restless, insatiable intellect. He was an avid reader, and when death finally caught up with him, he was absorbed by the writings of E. B. White. He was intensely curious - but never morbidly so - about even the process of his own death and closely monitored his own symptoms, perhaps with the hope that by understanding them he might conquer them. He never gave himself up to his disease; he did not, and could not, go gently into that good night.

John was also a bit of an iconoclast. He spurned conventional wisdom. He was at once conservative and liberal. He never hesitated to nibble his asparagus from the wrong end. But most of all, John never forgot how to laugh at himself. He had a fine, whimsical sense of humor and a keen appreciation of the absurd. His laughter and his compassion touched the lives of many. His passing leaves a gap not soon, if ever, to be filled.

A substantial number of John's classmates and friends gathered for a memorial service in his hometown of Shrewsbury, Mass., on a beautiful New England spring day.
