MILTON ARONOWITZ, 89, died on August 8 in Albany, N.Y., where he had had a long and successful career as an orthopedist with a special interest in industrial medicine and surgery.

Born in Albany, Ronny returned there after graduation from Dartmouth and took his medical degree in 1917 from Albany Medical College. During World War I, he served at the New York City Water Supply Depot and at Delaware College as a medical officer; after the war, he became regimental surgeon of Albany's Tenth Regiment of the National Guard. During World War 11, he served as a colonel with the New York Guard. He was on the staffs of the Albany Hospital and Albany Medical College.

1914

HERBERT STOTT AUSTIN, whose services to his class, his college, and his community were legion, died at the age of 88 on June 16 following a long illness.

Herb prepared for Dartmouth at Mechanic Arts High School in Boston and in college majored at Tuck.

A resident and enthusiastic supporter of Wellesley, Mass., since 1918, Herb was associated with Wellesley's weekly newspaper, the Townsman, for 36 years ten of them as editor. When he retired in 1970, he was named editor emeritus.

Herb once noted on an Alumni Records form that he had been "secretary of practically every organization ever a member of and that list of organizations was a long one.

He had been president and secretary of the New England and Massachusetts Press Associations, president of the National Newspaper Association, and a member of Sigma Delta Chi newspaper fraternity. Herb also found considerable time for civic affairs. He was a member of the Wellesley Congregational Church and the Wellesley Lodge AF&AM; he had been secretary of the Wellesley Kiwanis Club for 50 years; he had been president and was one of three honorary members of the Wellesley Club; he was secretary for eight years of the Wellesley Chamber of Commerce; he was an original member of Wellesley's Town Meeting; and the list goes on.

For the College, Herb had served as president and secretary of the Wellesley Alumni Association and as an Alumni Fund agent; he chaired 1914's 50th reunion; and he was class secretary at the time of his death.

There was more to Herb, though, than a list of activities. This excerpt from the Townsman upon his retirement as Chamber of Commerce secretary in 1978 perhaps says it best: "A tall man in every sense of the word, he shows pride in community affairs well handled. His courtesy stands out even in disagreements. His words carry meaning and substance. . . . His good humor and quiet ways of getting the job done are legendary keys to his successes. He has bridged the gaps through changing times to comprehend and guide with skill the affairs of [our] community, His influence has been tremendous."

Herb's first wife died in 1949, and in 1950 he married the former Dorothy Evans. She survives him, together with a son, Robert H. '4O, a daughter, four grandchildren, a great-grandson, and a sister.

WILLIAM REA HOLWAY, 87, died April 23 in Tulsa, Okla., where he had lived since 1918.

After two years at Dartmouth, Bill, a Massachusetts native, transferred to where in 1915 he took a degree in civil and sanitary engineering. From 1915 until 1917, Bill worked as a water supply engineer in Rhode Island, after which he moved to Tulsa as engineer in charge of the waterworks system. At that time, Tulsa's source of water was the salty, muddy Arkansas River, and most Tulsans used bottled water. Bill served as designer and chiet engineer on the Spavinaw Water Project, which brought clear, pure water to the city from Spavinaw Creek 54 miles away. "Oil built a city at Tulsa," wrote the Tulsa Tribune, "but Holway's water scheme made it liveable."

In 1921 Bill became a consulting engineer, one of the best in the business, and he was retained by cities and companies in Oklahoma, Texas, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, New Mexico, and Arkansas. In 1926, working mostly on horseback, he designed a $6,000,000 water supply system for the City of Santiago, Cuba, and in 1929 he was retained to report on the $25,000,000 water supply system for the City of Moscow in Russia. He also worked on a water system in Chile and a hydroelectric project in Nigeria. In 1936 he formed a partnership with H. C. Neuffer and another in 1941 with his wife Hope and their two sons; at the time of his death he was still active in business as W. R. Holway and Associates, a division of BenhamBlair and Affiliates. He had been consulting engineer for the Grand River Dam Authority since 1938, when he was in charge of the design and construction of the $25,000,000 Pensacola Dam on Oklahoma's Grand River, the longest multiple-arch dam in the world and one of the nation's most outstanding hydraulic structures, about which Bill published two volumes. He belonged to numerous professional societies and published extensively in the field.

Hope died in 1968, and Bill is survived by his second wife Helen, a .daughter Charlotte, and two sons, Donal and William '42, as well as seven grandchildren and an equal number of great-grandchildren.

Born in Chelsea, he had a career in law and the judiciary that spanned almost half a century. When he retired from the bench in 1965, John Voipe, then governor of Massachusetts, called him "a lawyer's lawyer and a judge's judge."

He prepared for Dartmouth at Monson Academy and received his law degree from Boston University in 1917. He served in the Navy during World War I and later joined the law firm of Ropes and Gray. He was appointed assistant district attorney of the southeastern district now Norfolk and Plymouth counties in 1927, and later served from 1933 to 1954 as district attorney.

He organized and was the first chief of its standards division, worked on the Intergovernment Personnel Act, and helped organize the Environmental Protection Agency. In 1963 he received the Commissioner's Award for Distinguished Service. He retired in 1972 as chief of the policy division of the commission.

Hal was secretary of our class for several years and truly loved Dartmouth. He was happy to take his Navy indoctrination in Hanover and made good use of the countryside on weekends. He retired from the Navy as a lieutenant commander, having been to sea on a sub-chaser and on destroyer escort. But retired was not the word for Hal. He wrote the first canoeing guide to the Potomac and wrote a book, Shipwrecked in Cataract Canyon, that is coming out shortly, about a solo trip he made down the Colorado River. Hal also wrote many articles for magazines and newspapers on preventing pollution in drinking water supplies and Whitewater streams through alternatives to centralized sewage systems, and he wrote a regular column for Bio Cycle, of which he was an associate editor.

It always seemed to us that Hal was just back from somewhere like Finland and heading somewhere else for his work with the Council of Washington Representatives on the United Nations and other environmental concerns.

His first wife died in 1971. He leaves his second wife, Marian (Nash), two sons, Harold '67 and Jeffrey '71, two brothers, and a sister.

Born in Maiden, Mass., Ted graduated from Maiden High in 1925. At Dartmouth he majored in Tuck School his senior year. He was in the Glee Club and a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Ted worked in the Nugget Theater for four years.

Ted and Fran, who were married in 1933, moved to "Towledge" in Freedom, N.H., from Arlington, Mass., in 1972 after his retirement from Shawmut Bank of Boston, where he had worked more than 40 years. As manager of Shawmut Symphony Branch, he was well known to members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and to the officers, faculty, and students of Northeastern University.

While residing in Arlington, Ted became interested in the Boys' Club and served on its board of directors and executive committee. He was also actively interested in Junior Achievement and the Boston Y.M.C.A. and devoted much time to their programs.

After retiring, Ted became treasurer of the First Christian Church of Freedom and treasurer of many local organizations. Survivors include his wife, Frances (Waugh), a sister, and one grandson. Ted's only son died in 1980.

At the funeral service, Rev. George T. Davidson, in eulogizing Ted's life of service to many people, emphasized his loyalty to his alma mater and to the class of 1929.

As Ted's roommate in Wheeler Hall freshman, sophomore, and junior years, I know what a great loss '29 suffers in the passing of this friend. He truly had the "hillwinds and the granite of New Hampshire" in his veins. Our sincere sympathy is extended to his family. Larry Lougee '29

1930

We have just learned of the death of GEORGE FRANCIS ALLEN on April 20, and regret that we lack more information on his recent activities.

After Dartmouth, Doc attended McGill Medical School, from which he received his M.D. and C.M. degrees, and he was a resident in obstetrics and gynecology at its affiliated Royal Victoria Hospital.

He served in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps from 1943 to 1946, attaining the rank of lieutenant commander, and then entered private practice in Hartford.

ROBERT RATHBONE BOTTOME, 73, died on August 1 in Caracas, Venezuela, where he had lived and worked since 1939.

After graduation from the Tuck School in 1931, Bob worked briefly for an advertising agency and then was enlisted by his classmate Nelson Rockefeller to sell office space at the then-under-construction Rockefeller Center. In 1939, he was sent by Nelson to Caracas, Venezuela, to be president of two development enterprises; during the summer of 1942, he was the Venezuelan representative for Nelson's office of Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and the year after that served as U.S. alien property custodian in Washington, D.C., and Bogota, Columbia. Since then, he had occupied top posts in some of the most prestigious companies in Venezuela, including Conceca, Ceramica, and Carabobo.

Bob also did a short hitch in the Marine Corps, recording a meteoric rise from his entry as a private in February 1944 to his discharge as a captain in November 1945.

Bob's accomplishments at Dartmouth, to which he came from the Trinity School in New York, were no less impressive. He was a Deke; he was a member of Green Key, Palaeopitus, the Sphinx, Round Robin, and The Arts; and he was managing editor of The Dartmouth and editorin-chief of Jack-o-Lantern (both these latter at the same time!). And to top it all off, he was the founder and chief (or only) stockholder of the Dartmouth Travel Bureau.

For me, rooming with Bob and A 1 Marsters, also '3O, in the Deke house our senior year, and with Bob at the then-brand-new Tuck School after graduation, were memorable experiences. And travels with Bob, both while in college and afterwards, were most enjoyable and instructive but exhausting!

Bob is survived by his wife Margot (Boulton), whom he married in 1942, and by three sons, two daughters, a step-son, and a sister.

Bob has left behind a most enviable record of accomplishments and contributions to his college, the land of his birth, and his adopted country. Those classmates fortunate enough to have known Bob and Margot, particularly those on the unforgettable class trip to Venezuela, can vouch for both their charm, spirit, and generosity. And so, another classmate of whom we can be justly proud has passed on. Carl W. Haffenreffer '3O
