Faculty

A rare human being left us on May 23. JAMES ALLEN EPPERSON died, as he no doubt would have chosen, doing something active, pumping a bicycle up a long hill into his town of Norwich. He did things well, this quiet and courteous man. He taught well; he wrote well; he talked well, with wit, precision, and neat turn of phrase; and he played well, skiing expertly, hitting tennis strokes with economy and grace. Above all, he companioned well. This English professor had that ineffable touch that made being with him both a pleasure and a reward. talking down Main Street of Hanover with Jim Epperson was a wonderful experience. Seemingly, he knew everyone. It was not just a nodding acquaintance ne had with people he knew about them, not in a gossipy way but in an interested and, at times, con- cerned way.

Such a walk was symptomatic of the man. It was an unhurried journey, as if he had no other concerns in the world except for en- joying his companion's company. One, at that moment, would never know that Jim Epperson cared deeply about Dart- mouth, that he worried about (and worked to bet- ter) the social fabric of the College. At that mo- ment, the only thing that ******* mattered was his present company. That sort of unobtrusive friendship is a treas- ure of uncounted worth. How great it is is reflected in the response he elicited, almost effortlessly, from literally scores of people.

Jim Epperson gave himself in other ways, too: direct- ing Alumni College, responding to calls for help from students given to exuberant misjudgment. Most of all, he worked, very privately but with immense dedica- tion, at helping those who had, like himself, struggled with alcohol.

Any one of these things the teaching, the writing, the conversation, the athletics, the camaraderie, the College and civic works, the social conscience, his family (Karen and two daughters) would have been a signal achievement for a lesser man. It is the sum total of them that made Jim Epperson rare. But at age 48, his heart gave out.

We were fortunate to have had him around here for almost 20 years. It goes without saying that we would have liked to have had far, far more than that of this gentle,-elegant soul, this man for all seasons.

BRLCE WINTON KNIGHT, for 36 years a member of the Dartmouth economics faculty, died on May 28 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover after a long illness. He would have been 88 on June 27.

Knight, who retired in 1960, was a vigorous oppo- nent of what he called "pseudo-liberalism" and "state paternalism" in government. He was introduced to the conservative concepts he taught in courses on economic principles and the economics of inter- national peace by his elder brother, the late Frank Knight, widely honored as the founder of the "Chicago school of economics."

A native of Colfax County, 111., Knight attended Texas Christian University and earned a B.A. from the University of Utah in 1920 and an M.A. from the University of Michigan in 1923.

He taught economics at the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin, where he met his wife, the former Myrtle Eickelberg. He joined the Dartmouth faculty as an instructor in economics in 1924 and became a professor in 1934. He was also a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and had served for a number of years on the Dartmouth College Athletic Council.

Knight wrote three books on economics and a book on peace, entitled How to Run a War, published by Alfred Knopf in 1936. Despite his authorship of these four books and a solid record of writing for scholarly journals, he opposed the academic doctrine of "publish or perish." He felt that faculty members should only write when they wished, not simply to gain recognition and status. He was cited by the Freedom Foundation of Valley Forge, Pa., for an article he wrote in the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE in December 1949 entitled "Our Greatest Issue," which he identified as "pseudo-liberalism."

During World War I, he served with the U.S. Army infantry for two-and-a-half years, including more than a year in the Philippines.

Knight had also been an avid baseball fan ever since his days as a pitcher in college, and he rarely missed a Dartmouth varsity baseball game.

He is survived by his wife, a son, a daughter, three brothers, and two sisters.

1907

GEORGE WARREN GREBENSTEIN, 95, well-known and active in College and community affairs all his life, died on May 21 at his home in West Upton, Mass., as the result of a fall.

"Greb" came to Dartmouth from Cambridge, Mass. As an undergraduate he was a two-time all- America basketball forward and also played third base for the varsity baseball team. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Sphinx senior society, and Paleopitus and sang with the Glee Club for four years.

After graduation, he declined offers to play professional basketball, instead coaching Harvard's hoop team for two years. He was also proud of his work during this period for a Boston printing com- pany, selling engravings of Dartmouth President Emeritus Tucker to alumni.

From 1910 to 1916, he was employed by the American Maritime Company of Cambridge. One of Greb's fondest memories concerns his work for this firm. In 1914, he wrote Winston Churchill, offering for sale to the British Navy the company's "Carley Life Float." Much to everyone's surprise, including Greb's, Churchill bought two and eventually placed orders for several million dollars' worth. When Churchill turned 80, Greb wrote him a letter, asking if he recalled the earlier exchange, and got a handwritten reply from 10 Downing Street.

In 1916 he founded the Greb Company, manufac- turer of garage tools and equipment, which he served as president until he sold it in 1933. He then entered a successful career in government administration, serv- ing in the Works Progress Administration, the Smaller War Plants Corporation, the National Production Authority, and the U.S. Census Bureau. He retired from the Civil Service in 1950.

Greb married the former Ethel Slocomb in 1924, and they lived for some time in Newton, Mass., before moving to West Upton in 1940 to Ethel's family homestead. Greb's record of community service, in both Newton and West Upton, was long and varied. He was active in Masons, Elks, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Unitarian Church. He was also Civil Defense Director of Upton for over 20 years, chaired the Upton Red Cross, was president of the District Nursing Association, and had served in New- ton as an alderman and in Upton as town moderator.

Greb was also involved in Dartmouth alumni ac- tivities. He had worked on the Alumni Fund and on class reunions, and he was still serving 1907 as class secretary and president at the time of his death.

Greb's wife Ethel died in 1978; they had one daughter, who survives him, together with three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

After graduation, he entered the insurance business and later was branch manager of Reo Motor Car Com- pany in Boston. In 1941, he was regional director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

His son, Rolliston W. Linscott Jr., was a member of the class of 1938 at Dartmouth. He also had a brother, Charles, in the class of 1913; a cousin, Delbert Jackson 'O4; and a nephew, Thomas Redstone '43.

MAURICE GEORGE HARVEY died in a White River Junction, Vt., nursing home on March 13 after several years of poor health. Even though he lived within a few miles of Hanover, he missed a good many of our func- tions. He early joined the First National Bank of White River Junction and continued there until his retirement in the fifties. He was an officer of many local groups and in his quiet way did much to improve the com- munity. His wife died a number of years ago. He leaves a son, a daughter, nine grandchildren, and six great- grandchildren. Maurice will be missed.

GORDON JAMES PLATT, 87, a lifelong resident of the Montpelier, Vt., area, died on March 6 in a St. Albans, Vt., hospital after a short illness.

He graduated from Swanton High School, Kimball Union Academy where he later taught, and Dart- mouth. He also spent several years as an English teacher at a private school in Pennsylvania, where he taught the two sons of President Calvin Coolidge.

He was well-known in the Montpelier area as the builder of the Lakeview Hotel and the Fantasia Pavilion. He was also renowned locally as "Uncle Jim" on radio stations in St. Johnsbury, Waterbury, Montpelier, and St. Albans, Vt., and in Hartford, Conn. He was also a writer and had published many short stories and was editor of the Northern MilkProducer for 27 years, retiring in April last year.

In community affairs, "Jim" had been trustee and treasurer of the Little White Church in Highgate Springs, Vt., which was built by his father and grand- father. He was also a member for more than 50 years of the First Congregational Church in Swanton, Vt.

He is survived by his wife, the former Gertrude Heath, a daughter, and several nieces and nephews.

After a long fight against cancer, our classmate and friend RAYMOND HARRIS TROTT died on March 31 in a nursing home in East Providence, R.l.

After graduation from Dartmouth, where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Casque and Gauntlet senior society, Ray went to Harvard Law School. Following war service with the Red Cross in the Balkans, he was admitted to the Maine and Massachusetts bars.

He joined the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Com- pany in 1918. At this prestigious institution, Ray rose through the ranks to be elected president in 1947 and then chairman of the board a post he held until his retirement in 1968.

During his banking career, Ray was not only a direc- tor of several large corporations, but he gave generously of his time and talents to a wide variety of organizations in the public sector such as the New England Council, the Providence Chamber of Commerce, Rhode Island Community Chest, the Providence YMCA, and others. Ray would probably wish to be remembered as a strong advocate of the revitalization and growth of the economy of New England. He also took an active interest in the restora- tion of the city of Providence, a work which has received national notice.

His surviving classmates will remember Ray as one of the best-liked men on the campus and will ■ sending their sympathy to his family. BesideV" gracious wife Elisabeth, Ray leaves a son, Hou h M. Trott "44, two daughters, nine grandcliildreif 5 one great-granddaughter.

Pun IP HARVEY SANBORN, son of Harvey Sanborn "2, died at home on April 15 after months of illness thai included brief hospital stays. Phil came to Dartmouth from Classical High in Providence, where he was a member of the cross- country team and the glee club. He continued these ac- tivities during our freshman year and joined Delta Tau Delta in the fall of 1936.

After graduation as a Spanish major (which he claimed to have chosen because they never flunked anyone!). he, to use his own words, "joined the Navy as - 90-day wonder and became an ensign." Shortly after, was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was - iptured at Corrigedor. Phil suffered three years im- P-'sonmcnt under rugged conditions and finally was berated in 1945. After he got back in shape, he and his e-long friend, Ginny Rice, were driven to Elkton, Md., by classmate Cornie Miller and his wife Janet for a fast wedding ceremony—all this in 1947.

Phil founded a most successful firm. Allied Framing • roducts, in 1963 and retired a year or so ago. He is survived by Ginny. together with a daughter.

In the 45 years I was privileged to know Phil, to share his humor, his companionship, his ups and downs, I never heard him blame anyone for the health problems resulting from his war experience.

CHESTER BURTON SLOANE died on January 21 as the result of a heart attack. His wife Rochelle was kind enough to prepare this information on his productive and creative life:

Some three years ago, Chet was stricken with kidney failure and took dialysis treatments every other day, but courageously remained active in his law practice in Beverly Hills, continuing to work when others might have given up. His professional and personal life gained him many devoted friends who admired his courage, competence, warmth, and understanding.

A native of Boston, he attended Dartmouth, the University of Southern California, and U.C.L.A. He served in World War II as a cpatain in the U.S. Army. Music was an important part of his life; he was an ac- complished classical pianist, having attended the Julliard School and soloed with the Boston Symphony at age 13. At Dartmouth, he played first trombone in the marching band.

The class extends its deep sympathy to Rochelle and to his four children.

DANA GRANT FARRISSEE died on July 16, 1979, losing a long and courageous battle with lung cancer.

At the time of his death, "Dutch" was living in Frankfort, Ky., where he was working for the Ken- tucky state government as head of the accounting department for the child support enforcement division of the Bureau for Social Insurance.

Dutch worked for General Electric from the time of graduation until 1974, when he took the position with the Commonwealth of Kentucky. His last position with G.E. was as manager of employee, plant, and com- munity relations in the Frankfort G.E. plant.

In 1955 Dutch married Jean Yowell, two years out of Mt. Holyoke, and they had four children.

We will remember Dutch during his Dartmouth years as a fine baseball player, a loyal frater of Phi Gamm, and a good companion at the Sphinx tomb.

Through the years Dutch's free time was spent mostly with his family, and he took special interest in his children, helping in every way with their swim teams, Little League, and band booster activities.

Jean wrote, "Dartmouth was always very important and special to him. ... I don't think he missed a score of a Dartmouth sporting event during the 27 years since graduation and he was always an avid reader of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE."

So we lose one of our own. And it's once again time to "raise a rosey" for Dutch.

1962

We are sorry to have to report that TERRY LEE HOLLAND died of cancer on January 19. Lung cancer had been discovered in April of 1979.

Terry, a native of Palo Alto, was raised in Atherton, Calif., and graduated from Menlo Atherton High School in 1958. He graduated in 1962 from Dart- mouth, where he was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. He worked for 11 years from 1962 to 1973 as a financial manager for the nuclear division of General Electric in San Jose, Calif.

Following a desire to break from corporate life and to start something he "could see the result of," his wife Karen said, Terry left G.E. to start the Wooden Horse stores in Los Gatos, Santa Cruz, and Carmel, stores specializing in fine wooden and European toys, miniatures, and games.

Besides his wife Karen, who is a schoolteacher, Terry is survived by two daughters, two sons, his parent*, and two brothers.

We know Terry's friends at Dartmouth all join with us in our expression of sympathy to Karen and the family on their sad loss. Our warmest wishes are ex- tended to them at this troubled time.
