Faculty

HARRY F. R. SHAW, a member of the Dartmouth College faculty for 40 years, died March 2, at the Brookside Nursing Home in Hartford, Vt. He was 81 years old.

Professor Shaw was born in 1898, at Clinton, Ont., and became an expert on the effect of wage-rate movements on the economy, especially in recession.

A 1921 graduate of the University of Toronto with a B.A. degree, Professor Shaw earned an M.A. there in 1922. He joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1924 as an instructor in economics.

His first promotion, to assistant professor, came in 1929, and he attained the rank of full professor in 1938. Professor Shaw retired in 1964.

He never married, and he is survived by nieces and nephews.

1911

WARREN FULLER KIMBALL passed away peacefully at age 91 on June 10, a resident of Contoocook, N.H., survived by his wife Elsie, whom he married in 1921; his sons, Warren F. Jr. '44 and David E. '49; nine grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and a sister.

Wee, as he was affectionately known in Dartmouth circles, came to Dartmouth from Cambridge Latin School and immediately aimed for engineering as the surest possible escape from more Latin and Greek.

Following graduation from Thayer School and a few years with Factory Mutuals in Philadelphia, Wee became involved in class, club, and college activities. While class treasurer 1921-26, he pioneered the group subscription plan for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and proved that it could be sponsored by one class and financed through its treasury. He became secretary of the New York City Alumni Association and incorporator of the Dartmouth Club of New York City. From 1928 to 1934 he served on the Alumni Council, acted as class agent, chaired reunions, and served as president for a decade after the death of Nathaniel G. Burleigh. He was one of only three or four who had contributed to the Alumni Fund every year since its establishment in 1931.

World War I and business activities had claimed his attention as well. In 1918, First Lieutenant Kimball and three comrades were sent to France on special duty in answer to a rush call from General Pershing's headquarters for fire prevention and. protection engineering service. Upon his return in 1919, Wee joined up with his original sponsor in Reciprocal Underwriters and in mid-1925 moved over to the National Retail Dry Goods Association to inaugurate and manage a new Advisory Insurance Bureau there.

In 1929, he started in business for himself under the name Warren F. Kimball & Co., Inc., serving both as insurance advisor and broker for large department stores from Massachusetts to Florida to California. Today his son Warren runs the business as the Mercantile Risk Management Division of Fred S. James & Co., of Hartford, Conn.

In 1977 Wee received the Dartmouth Alumni Award "for long and effective service to the College and distinction in career." He was a fine Christian gentleman who earned a "Well done!" from us all.

1913

JAMES HOWELL BYRNES died of unknown causes on June 8.

Howie, as he was known, was stricken with polio at the age of three but went on to overcome its crippling effects and lead an active life. His courage and refusal to be conquered were a shining example, enriching all who knew him.

Howie came to Dartmouth from New York City, spending three years in Hanover before transferring to Columbia University, from which he earned his B.S. in 1913. At Dartmouth, he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and captain of the rifle team.

He moved to California shortly after graduation from college and worked for a number of years as controller of Kinney Iron Works and Kinney Aluminum Foundry in Los Angeles. Then in 1950 he founded two businesses in Oakland, serving both as president until his retirement in 1970. His Stainless Steel Polishing Corporation was a steel service with mill equipment, and the Westoak Machine Corporation was a manufacturer of special steel mill and warehouse equipment.

He lived in retirement in San Diego. Another San Diego alumnus, Howard J. Mullin '27, wrote that Howie had kept active in recent years founding and chairing a retirees investment club and had just recently published a treatise on retirement financial planning. He also played bridge and traveled.

He is survived by his wife Grace, a daughter, and a sister.

WARD HUNT HARRIS died of natural causes in a nursing home in Evanston, Ill., on June 14. He prepared for Dartmouth at the Brushton, N.Y., high school and graduated from the College with the class. He went on to earn his law degree from the Northeastern School of Law and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1923. He spent his entire career practicing law in Chicago. He is survived by his wife Eleanor and two sons.

OSCAR BARNHARDT SCHARRER crossed the Great Divide on June 7 in Dayton, Ohio, the same town in which he was born in 1888. He attended the city schools, graduating from Steele High School in 1909. In September of that year, he matriculated at Dartmouth in the Class of 1913. He was a Rufus Choate scholar and the recipient of awards in mathematics. During the last two years of his residence he roomed with Ernest Thomas, who followed him in death four days later.

Following graduation, he taught school in both Marion and Dayton, as well as serving as special agent for the F.B.I, during the years 1913 to 1917. During this early period he followed the ancient custom of reading law with local practitioners, and in 1917 he passed his bar exams and began the practice of a new profession. After sixty-three years, he was still active as a practicing attorney, and over 30 of those years were in association with his son Richard '46.

He was physically fit well into his eighties. Five years ago his grandson Richard graduated, and while he was in Hanover for the commencement, he climbed Balch Hill "no mean feat for a man of 87," as his son wrote.

In 1923 he married Ottie Stewart, who died; his second wife was Leona Gerst. They had one son, already mentioned, and two daughters, Betsy Ann Bates and Margaret Scharrer. There are six grandchildren.

He was a member of the Bar Association, the Blue Lodge, the Scottish Rites, and the Shrine. At the time of his death, he was the oldest living member of the Class of 1913.

He was also a member of "Harmony" Morse's chapel choir for four years.

On June 1913, he was granted the B.S. degree, and the following September he matriculated at Tuck School, from which he received the M.C.S. degree. He became a specialist in sales management, and his services were used by several companies before he retired in June 1957. At different times he served as sales manager for the Julius Kayser Co. of Brooklyn, N.Y.; for Rice and Hitchins of Rookland, Mass.; Oilman Fanfold Corporation of Boston; and, according to his son, "for many years he worked for the Firestone Footwear Company of Hudson, Mass., and just previous to retirement for Moore Business Forms, Inc., of Bridgeport and Worcester."

In 1915 he married Florence Morrison of Somerville. They had three children including William E. '40, a brother, and a sister. Other Dartmouth members of the family were an older brother, Arthur '08, and a grandson, David '67.

During his later years, Edward lived in Largo, Fla. He is survived by his wife, the two sons, the daughter, and their children.

He was a member of the Masons and a life member of the Office Management Association and the National Association of Cost Accountants. Also he was on the board of directors for the Dartmouth Club of Worcester, Mass.

ERNEST EASTMAN THOMAS died on June 13 at the Oak Hill Nursing Home of Middleboro, Mass. Death followed a long illness. He was born in Cambridge, Mass. in 1891, and he prepared for college in the local elementary and preparatory schools. He matriculated at Dartmouth in 1909 and graduated in 1913.

In 1918 he became a U.S. soldier, and he was mustered out in 1919. Details of his branch and rank are not available.

After the war he became a member of the school system of Middleboro, where he had graduated. Eventually he was elected head of the history department and then vice principal previous to his retirement in 1957.

He married Beatrice Smith in 1919. After her death in 1923, he married Pearl Gibbs, who survives him. Both women were graduates of Mount Holyoke. Two daughters, four grandchildren, and two great- grandchildren survive his passing.

Ernest had an active life during and subsequent to his retirement in 1957. The family moved to West Wareham, where they lived during the years before he was confined to the nursing home. He was one-time treasurer of Post 64 of the American Legion, and he was also an active member of the United Methodist Church, where he served as financial secretary. He was also former president of the Middleboro Historical Society and honorary trustee of the local bank.

He was a life member of the Masons.

1914

ERLH FAIRFIELD died on March 14 in Beaver Falls, Pa., after a brief illness. Erie had devoted his life to teaching languages, principally German.

Following graduation he took an A.B. at Harvard, joined the staff of the University of Pittsburgh as in- structor of German, and except for a couple of brief interludes continued with that university thereafter. He was made a full professor in 1920 and retired as full professor emeritus in 1962. He authored several articles in his chosen subject and was a member of various organizations in that field.

In 1911 he married Editha Smith of Princeton, Mass., a graduate of Cornell, and to them were born two daughters, both college graduates, one living in Boston and the other in the Beaver Falls area.

Erie was a very quiet student who has made his mark teaching a foreign language.

Class Reunion Silently, and one by one, they leave us; Final roll call reaches every name. Alma Mater holds a fond remembrance: Tiny place card in her Hall of Fame. Stately Lady of the River and the Mountains, Within Thy tender care we know they dwell Till the last man yields the noble vigil. Until then: Farewell.

PAUL ALTHAUS SMITH, distinguished mathematician, died at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City on June 13, at the age of 80.

Born in Lancaster, N.H., he came to Dartmouth from the local schools and went on after Dartmouth to do postgraduate work at Princeton. In 1927 he went to Columbia University, and for the next half century he taught there and at Barnard College.

Paul, a pioneer in the field of topology (the study of those properties of geometric figures that remain unchanged under distortion), was considered a major figure in American mathematics. Columbia, in presenting him with an honorary degree in 1973, cited his creation of the theory of periodic transformation,

"which greatly influenced the development of mathematics and placed him in a select group of Americans who changed the United States from a mathematical province to a leading mathematical nation." He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council.

Paul was also an accomplished musician and enjoyed constructing medieval instruments that his wife played professionally. He was married to the well- known performer Suzanne Bloch, daughter of the late composer Ernest Bloch. Paul was founder of the American Recorder Society, president of the American Lute Society, and secretary of the Ernest Bloch Society. He also enjoyed writing and performing on ancient musical instruments.

Although not particularly active in class activities, Paul was always extremely loyal to Dartmouth.

BELNO MARSH WHELDEN died in Rutland, Vt., on June 21.

Born in Ludlow, Vt., in 1894, Marsh came to Dartmouth after spending a year at the University of Vermont and two years in the Army, serving extensively on the front lines in Europe during World War I. At Dartmouth, Marsh was an avid fan of the track team, and he belonged to Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

After graduation he attended Tuck School briefly and then took a position with the Stetson Shoe Company in New York City. In 1925 he returned to Vermont and went into the wholesale hardware business with the W. C. Landon firm in Rutland. In 1960, he became general manager and trustee for a family- owned business, and in the same year also undertook a job as merchandising consultant for Killington Manufacturing Company, Inc., in Rutland. In 1956 he became that company's accountant and office manager.

He and Priscilla West were married in 1921, and they had one child, John W. Whelden '49.

Marsh served his community as school commissioner, president of the chamber of commerce, and church treasurer and warden. He was also a Mason.

Marsh had a lifelong concern with world peace, and he wrote two papers "World Trusteeship of Life and the Means of Life" and "America's Destiny," both urging a more positive approach to the problems of peace among all peoples. The first, never published, has recently gone into the Dartmouth archives; the second appeared in the Rutland Herald on Armistice Day 1968.

Marsh's two brothers, his son, a cousin, and three nephews were all Dartmouth graduates, and he kept in close touch with the college all his life. He is survived by his wife and son.

In 1954 he and his crew caught the largest swordfish of the season off Menemsha, and in 1975 he earned a sportsmanship award in the Metropolitan Miami Fishing Tournament. Some of his happiest hours were spent on his boats in the company of classmate Bill Welch.

1935

Word has been received of the death of RUSSELL WILLARD FIELD on July 7 in Albany, N.Y. For many years Russ had been seriously ill and confined to the Child's Nursing Home in that city. All of his business career was as an employee of General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y., where he served as manager of purchasing. A member of the Dartmouth Players at college, he continued this interest after college with the Schenectady Civic Players, having been a past president and a director of numerous performances. Russ never married, but during his protracted illness his affairs were managed by the widow of his brother John, Mrs. Jane Field of Rowayton, Conn.

His classmates were stunned to learn of the death of HENRY CLAY HAWKINS JR. A sudden illness forced an early return from traveling in Scotland, and he died after a short time at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover on May 29. His loss will be felt in many quarters.

After graduation Hank had a brief fling in the insurance business and then returned home to Claremont, N.H., and the Claremont Savings Bank, where he worked his way up to the presidency. He retired in 1978 but continued to chair the board until his decease.

During World War II Hank served in the Navy. He was an avid skier, tennis and bridge player, and swimmer. His civic activities were too numerous to list, but prominent among them were: president and trustee of the Claremont Hospital, president and 30-year- member of the Rotary Club, president of the community chest, vestryman and treasurer of Trinity Episcopal Church, trustee of City Trust Funds, and long-time member of the school board.

At Dartmouth Hank joined the Glee Club, Theta Delta Chi Fraternity, and Dragon Honorary Society. After graduation he regularly attended home games and other social events in Hanover, served as director and president of Theta Delta Chi Corporation, was an agent annually for the Alumni Fund, and chaired the 35th reunion of the Great Class of 1935.

Many of Hank's antecedents graduated from Dartmouth, as did his brother Richard '39, and his son H. Clay Hawkins IV '65. He and Lou (his vivacious wife and close friend of many '36ers) also had three daughters and seven grandchildren. They traveled extensively, particularly in England, but maintained a lovely 150-year-old home, historic Riverfields, renowned for its period antiques.

The Class of 1935 has lost a member who will long be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and hospitality a real friend.

After completing his freshman year with us he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he took a B.S. degree in economics in 1935 and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School in 1936.

While in the service he met and married Helen Knowles. In 1946 George established his own insurance agency, from which he retired in 1967 after suffering a stroke. He is survived by his wife Helen and two sons.

JULIAN P. BOWEN JR. died at his home in Grosse Point, Mich., on May 16. As noted by his brother Lem '37, Jules had suffered from a heart condition for a number of years, "but he was active until the day it caught up with him."

Except for service with the Air Force in World War II from 1941-45, Jules was employed by the Ferry- Morse Seed Company from graduation in 1938 until 1960. He served it as sales manager, products planning manager, and assistant secretary in Detroit, Memphis, Salinas, Calif., and Fulton, Ky. In 1960 he left Ferry- Morse and formed with a friend a business advisory company, rendering investment advice to clients and doing bookkeeping and tax work as required.

MARK CHAPPLE MURPHY, 34, died May 20 in Boulder, Colo., of an unusual cancer of the liver. His final illness lasted 18 months, during which he continued his work with the Center for Community Development and Design in Boulder and his teaching at the University of Colorado (Boulder and Denver), where he was assistant professor of urban planning in the College of Environmental Design. His courage in the face of impossible odds was a source of inspiration to his family and friends,, and to other patients afflicted with malignant liver disease, for whom he wrote a technical manual for self-care and also a poem, called "Rest Yourself Easy":

I once knew a man reminds me of you Felt sorry for himself, like you do for you. He was afraid to die he was afraid to live. Time got away from him like water through a sieve. When you're feeling mighty low Just pick yourself up and walk down the road. The surface's smooth, the way is clear. Just rest yourself easy, nothing to fear. Rest yourself easy, stop your living so fast. If you don't take your time, your time will never last. Ain't a thing to do life's slippin' away. Take another day.

While in college, Mark played cello with the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra and guitar with the "transmogrified rock group" called "The Bunch." He was a member of Pi Lambda Phi fraternity.

A conscientious objector to the military draft, he worked in a poverty program in New Haven, Conn., for two years. He took two M.A. degrees, one in social work at New York University in 1969 and another in urban and regional planning at the University of Colorado in 1976. He served on the board of directors of the Boulder Community Design Center and worked actively with Can Surmount, a program of the American Cancer Society.

Mark and Eloise Osborne were married in 1969, and she, his parents, and a twin brother survive him.
