MARTIN SEGAL, 60, professor of economics at the College and a specialist in labor economics, died on January 24 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital following a heart attack.

Segal, who served as senior staff economist for the Presidential Council of Economic Advisers in 1965-66, had been a member of the Dartmouth faculty for 24 years. He chaired the Economics Department from 1967 to 1972.

Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1921, he fled Poland following the 1939 Nazi invasion. Although only 18 at the time, he managed to traverse the Soviet Union to the Far East and finally, in 1940, arrived in the United States via Japan.

After Pearl Harbor he joined the U.S. Army, serving with the intelligence service in Europe. At the end of the war he enrolled at Queens College in New York City, graduating summa cum laude with distinction in economics in 1948; 13 years later he received the college's "Alumnus of the Year" award. He went on to earn a Ph.D. at Harvard in 1953 and began his teaching career there. He also taught at Williams College before joining the Dartmouth faculty in 1958. He was granted honorary Phi Beta Kappa membership by Dartmouth in 1976 since his undergraduate college did not have a chapter.

A prolific writer, he contributed to numerous professional journals and had many major books to his credit. He had also served as a consultant to the Agency for International Development, the U.N.'s International Labor Organization, the U.S. Senate Antitrust subcommittee, the Economic Cooperation Administration, and the Area Redevelopment Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. He taught for a year (1961-62) at M.I.T. as a visiting professor.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth (Berkowicz), also a native of Warsaw, whom Segal first met in 1940 and married in 1945 after she had also fled Poland independently; and by a son Jonathan, a student at Dartmouth Medical School, and a daughter Naomi Jane.

When the school board wanted to name its new high school after him upon his retirement at age 62, he asked to be allowed to veto the idea, saying that monuments should be raised only after posterity has had time to see things in perspective.

1934 he joined the Alcohol Tax Unit of the Internal Revenue Service in Boston, and at his retirement in 1972 was engaged in their internal audit operation.

When we met in Hanover a few years ago I was reminded of the contribution he and so many government employees make unsung and with no hope of great financial reward. We shared the fear of big government, but Pres had a proper pride in his part in a most essential part of our society. It was a good, warm feeling to be with him again.

Pres enjoyed gardening in his retirement. He leaves his wife, Mary (Duffy), a daughter, and his brother Royce '38.

1930

We are very sorry to report the death of MORTON BUTLER COLLINS at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, Conn., on October 8, 1981, as the result of a stroke suffered a few days earlier at his home in Suffield, Conn.

Mort prepared for Dartmouth at the Loomis School, where he played first base on the baseball team. In college he became a Theta Delta Chi, was on the business boards of both Jack-o-Lantern and the Tower, and was a member of the Arts and Alpha Delta Sigma.

Classmates will remember him as perceptive, sensitive, and always full of fun. A classmate writes, "I'll always remember him as the wise-cracking guy who was out to have a good time. Some of his expressions have left an indelible print on my mind. For example, 'I feel like the ring around the bathtub of life, or I feel like a bottle of milk with the cap off!' But that was only one side of him. Under this veneer he could be quite serious, and after College he did extremely well financially in the business world."

Indeed, after attending Harvard Business School, he joined Blair Manufacturing Company in 1940, serving as president and treasurer from 1954 to 1959. He then formed, as president and owner, the Morton B. Collins Company, from which he retired in 1965. He also spent four war years in the Counter Intelligence Corps of the U.S. Army, and it was during this period he met his wife-to-be, Audrey Blansford, a Washington University alumna.

Mort was a director of the Moore Drop Forging Company, a trustee of the Antiquarian and Landmark Society of Connecticut, and a member of the Longmeadow Country Club and the Colony Club of Springfield. In addition, he was devoted to collecting antiques and old stock certificates, from both this country and abroad.

As two of his roommates, we extend the sympathy of the class to his widow.

1933

THOMAS DEWEY MANN died on January 8 in Wellesley, Mass., after a long, courageous fight against cancer.

Tom was born in Hartford, Vt., and lived in Quechee as he attended Eaglebrook School and Deerfield Academy, both located in Deerfield, Mass. With that background, he was a natural for Dartmouth and its ski team, which he captained in our junior year. Tom never lost a cross country race while competing for Dartmouth. He was also a member of Psi Upsilon and Dragon senior society

Immediately following college, Tom joined the investment and brokerage firm of Field, Gore, and Company in New York City as a runner and clerk. He stayed with that firm and its successors until his retirement as senior vice president in 1973. During this business career, he served on the boards of directors of Heublein and Cavitron, among others.

Such work didn't absorb his time entirely. He also served as a board member of various charitable organizations such as the Community Chest, the Neighborhood House, and United Family and Children's Society. He continued with his skiing and added golf, sailing, gardening, and bird-watching to his hobbies. In his retirement, he maintained homes in Harwichport, Mass., and in Sanibel Island, Fla.

1934

RICHARD MARTIN COMPTON died in Naples, Fla., on November 22, 1981, after a brief illness. He had moved to Florida following retirement from a very full business career that saw him successively product manager of General Foods, advertising manager of Quaker Oats, account executive of Noyes and Company, and finally owner and president of National Market Corporation, a Providence, R.I., company involved with safety equipment.

Dick was a native of Chicago and attended University High School there before graduating from Exeter. His business career was foreshadowed at Dartmouth, where he was advertising manager of the Jack-o-Lantern. He was a member of Theta Delt and a French major.

Dick married Jeannette Latter in 1957. She survives him, along with two sons and a daughter from an earlier marriage, several grandchildren, and his brothers Gail '37 and Charles '38.

MARTIN JOSEPH DWYER'S family moved in the early twenties from New York City to New Rochelle, where Marty embarked on a series of friendships, some of which flowered for nearly the entire 60 years between then and his death on January 4, from a prolonged bout with emphysema.

For Marty rarely forgot a name or a face; his capacity to inspire confidence and fellow-feeling was outstanding; and he could make himself at home with any group - from a crew of merchant sailors on the freighter that took him to Europe on a post-graduation junket to a consortium of stuffy Madison Avenue types.

All-everything at New Rochelle High, Marty went on at Dartmouth to be DKE, Green Key, C&G, class secretary, manager of the combined musical clubs, and member of the Glee Club and the Council on Student Organizations.

His early fondness for scouting led him to spend a year after Dartmouth training to be a Scout executive. But he soon joined the rest of us on the more prosaic sidewalks of New York, working in the promotion and merchandising departments of Life. Later he sold ad space for Fortune, with time out for World War II service as a U.S.N.R. lieutenant in harbor entry control. During the war years, Marty married Joy McDonald, and in 1946 he and Joy went to Los Angeles, where Marty spent several years with Rexall Drugs in co-op advertising. Then they went back to New York and the ad agency business — B.B.D.O., Lennen and Newell, and finally Kenyon and Eckhardt, where he was a vice president and senior account executive at his retirement in 1979.

For Dartmouth, Marty was class secretary for three terms, class president from 1946 to 1950, reunion chair twice, president of "the Westchester Dartmouth Club in 1962-63, and an Alumni Award recipient in 1971. His community service was similarly distinguished. He was called upon whenever a thankless job opened up whether it was to build a new library or to merge two hostile school districts.

Marty is survived by Joy, to whom the class sends deep sympathy, as it does to his two daughters and two sons. The valediction by President Hopkins in our 1934 Aegis is appropriate here: "You whom we have loved long since and lost awhile, as we part at these crossroads, hail and farewell!"

WILLIAM H. SCHERMAN '34

Word has been received of the death of WALTER HENRY HANCOCK in August 1981. We have been unable to learn details of Walter's career, but initially after Dartmouth he studied engineering and was teaching at Tuscombe Aeronautical School in West Trenton, N.J., when the war broke out. Subsequently he moved back to Massachusetts, first to Hubbardston, then to Princeton. He was born on a farm near Barre, Mass., and graduated from Barre High School.

Dick was a retired associate editor of Editorial Research Reports, a syndicate aimed at editorial writers on daily newspapers, but had continued to work as a freelance writer. Dick's love for and devotion to Dartmouth ran very deep.

Born in Harrisburg, Pa., Dick came to Hanover from Harrisburg Academy. At Dartmouth he was an English major, a member of Theta Delta Chi, and editor-in-chief of Jack-o-Lan-tern. Classmates will recall the feud in 1934 between The Dartmouth and the Jacko, with the Dartmouth running a false expose claiming Dick was the famed Eleazar. On graduation, after a brief fling at Harvard Law School, he worked as a reporter for the Harrisburg EveningNews and later for the Providence, R.I., Bulle-tin. In between he earned a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. In 1946, after three years in the army, Dick turned to teaching journalism, first at Dickinson College and then at Michigan State University. While teaching he wrote a novel on postwar Paris entitled See If He Wins, and coauthored with F. W. Maguire '24 a textbook entitled Journalism and the Student Publication.

In 1950 Dick joined Editorial Research Reports and stayed with the news service until his retirement in 1970. Before retirement, Dick received a 50th anniversary medal of achievement from the Columbia School of Journalism.

In July of 1939 he went to work for Montgomery Ward in various positions - retail operations, buyer, and merchandiser— positions he held until being swooped up by Uncle Sam for the duration of World War II, during which he served as a first lieutenant.

Following the war he returned to Montgomery Ward until 1954, when he joined United-Carr Fastener Corporation as promotion manager. United-Carr eventually became a division of T.R.W. Inc., and it was from this organization that Bob retired in 1975, leaving the Northeast, where he had spent much of his business life, for the pleasures of South Carolina. These years have been described as happy and full. Bob served on varying town committees, particularly during his years in Wellesley, Mass.

He entered Dartmouth, after two years at Concord High School, from the Wheaton College Academy in Wheaton, Ill., where he had been a member of the school debating team for two years, a critic in the literary society, and a member of the student committee representing the senior class.

He attended Dartmouth but briefly, and little is known of his activities since he left Hanover. He was a World War II veteran, and it is known that he had been in poor health for many years previous to his death. A lifetime bachelor, he lived with his brother, Lawrence C. Hale, who survives him. His father, Warren F. Hale, also a Dartmouth alumnus.

Through an unfortunate mix-up, this piece concerning the death of ROBERT JOHNSON LOUGHRY on September 22, 1980, was not Published until now.

Bob came to Dartmouth from Western Reserve Academy in Ohio, where he played football and basketball, captained the baseball ream, and was active in the glee club. At Dartmouth, he was a Zeta Psi, a dormitory chairman a member of the freshman basketball team and the Glee Club.

After attending Tuck School, he started work as an accountant, but soon enlisted in the Air Corps, getting his wings as a second lieutenant 26 days before Pearl Harbor. This organization was to occupy him for the next 30 years. In 1944, by then a major, he earned silver leaves with the 15th Air Force, flying B-24s ver Italy. He spent five years in Germany during the fifties in fighter aircraft, commanded the Squadron Officer School at Maxwell A.F.B. in Alabama for three years as a colonel, commanded the 552nd Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing at McClellan A.F.B. in California, and after a tour of duty in Vietnam he was assigned to Hq. U.S.A.F. as chief, special air warfare division, at the Pentagon in 1964. His final tour of duty, from 1965 to 1970, was as chief, enforcement-correction division and directorate of security and law enforcement. He retired at age 53 to Falls Church, Va., where his hobby of repairing fine old clocks became a part-time business. This work was especially advantageous when he had a heart attack in 1974, as he was able to work at his own pace during the weeks of recuperation.

As a retiree he returned to the class fellowship, having for the first time the opportunity to join into reunion activities, which he did with a great deal of enthusiasm.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Marianne, and a daughter, Jan, both of whom accompanied Bob on many occasions to reunions, and also by a son, Jim.

In 1965 Bill chucked all that and joined the staff of Beloit College as a student counselor and placement director, a move that he explained this way in 1941's 25th reunion yearbook: "Industrial personnel placement work, particularly when one is self-employed, is highly remunerative, but . . . life's values change. Far more important than income and prestige ... is spending time with my family and attempting to help college students with varied personal and emotional problems."

Bill retired from Beloit in 1971. At last report, he and his wife were operating Down to Earth Discoveries, a handcrafted-gifts shop. Bill was a member of the Congregational church and active in a number of church-related organizations.

The class has belatedly received word that HADLEY STINSON WARD died nearly two years ago - on April 28, 1980. He suffered a heart attack while driving near his home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Had was born in Maine's far northeastern corner, at Limestone, but later moved to Portland and prepared for Dartmouth at Deering High School there. He was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.

After graduation from Tuck School, Had went to work for the American Hardware Corporation as a production control superintendent in their Corbin Screw division, New Britain, Conn. From 1944 to 1946 he served as a machinist's mate in the Navy, on sea duty with the Atlantic Fleet.

In 1957 Had shifted to the securities business, starting with Schirmer, Atherton and Cempany in Boston. He later worked in Portland for Dupont, Glore Forgan, and E. F. Hutton, and at the time of his death was a broker with Kidder Peabody. He was a member of the Boston Investment Club and Maine Investment Dealers Association.

Surviving are his wife, the former Elizabeth Craigie, two daughters, and two grandsons.

1947

It is with sadness that we report the passing of ARNOLD EMERY BOOMER on November 15. 1981, in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Providence, R.I., after an extended illness. Arnie was born in New Bedford, Mass., and had lived in Barrington, R.I., for 23 years.

He was an economics major and active in the Corinthian Yacht Club and the D.O.C. while in college. He had a bachelor of naval science degree from Tufts.

His business career was in the computer and data processing and marketing field; he worked for I.B.M., General Electric, Viatron Computer Systems, U.S. General Services Administration, and, most recently, Infotecs of Manchester, N.H., from which he retired in January of 1980 as regional manager of dealer recruitment.

Arnie was treasurer and a member of the board of the Ballet of Rhode Island and a member of the Rising Sun Lodge, F&AM, and the Barrington Presbyterian Church.

Surviving are his wife Georgia, five children, and two grandchildren. To them, the class extends its deepest sympathy.

TOWNES M. HARRIS JR. 47

1949

ROGER WOODWARD ATWOOD died of cancer on January 14 at New York Hospital. He was 56 years old and a resident of East Hampton, L.I.

Roger was born in Minneapolis and came to Dartmouth following infantry service in World War II. Upon graduation he spent two years with Chemical Bank of New York and then joined the New York Times as a school and college sales representative in the circulation department. He became a sales representative in the advertising department a year later and following a variety of assignments was named assistant advertising manager in 1973.

Roger left the Times later in 1973 to enter the real estate business, and in 1979 he started his own firm in East Hampton, Roger Atwood Real Estate, which was also known as R.A.R.E.

He was active in community affairs and had been a long-time fund raiser for the Guild Hall. He is survived by a sister, Carol A. Daniels of Wayzata, Minn.

The class was saddened to learn belatedly of the sudden death of Louis AUGUST GLUEK JR. on August 5, 1981, in Deerfield, Ill. Lou came from a large Dartmouth family. His father, two uncles, four cousins, and his son Gus, class of 1975, have maintained an on-going relationship with the College for 64 years.

In writing of Gus, his wife Carolly said, "Dartmouth meant a lot to him. His son Gus was the third Louis Gluek to graduate from the College."

Lou entered Dartmouth following three years of Army Air Force service, during which he obtained his wings and a second lieutenancy. He saw action in Europe during the final months of the war, earning two battle stars and an Air Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster.

Following his graduation from Tuck School in 1950 he held a variety of positions in industry.

The sympathy of the class is extended to his wife and children.

1950

He was chainsawing a tree on his land in Piermont, N.H., on May 6, 1981, when something went wrong. The tree kicked back and LEWIS VEGHTE JR. lost his life. He was 54 years old, had lived in his restored farmhouse in Piermont for many years, and had been active in real estate.

After military service in Europe and his freshman year at Princeton, "Bud" came to Hanover in the autumn of 1947. In 1951 he graduated from Tuck and went to work for U.S. Steel in this country and for Del tec investment bankers in South America. He returned to New England in 1967 to work for the Killington Manufacturing Company in Rutland, Vt. Three years later he turned his full attention to real estate in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont.

Bud was active in Republican politics and had served in Washington, D.C., as an administrative assistant. It was there that he met his wife, the former Barbara Hess. He was a supervisor of the Grafton County Conservation District for 15 years and chaired the Conservation Committee, the Citizens Advisory Nonpoint Pollution Planning Committee, and the Piermont Planning Board. At Dartmouth he was a member of SAF and Dragon senior society.

A memorial service for Bud was held a few days after the accident in the Piermont Congregational Church. Hundreds of his friends from miles away joined to hear the minister speak of Bud's love of people and of the land and farm that he had brought back to such beauty during his years in Piermont. In a simple and touching ceremony, Bud's ashes were interred on a hillside overlooking his land and home, a spot that he particularly loved and which afforded him what he often spoke of as his "long view."

Besides his wife, Bud is survived by a son, a daughter, and by his parents and a sister.

ALEXANDER G. MEDLICOTT '50

1952

THOMAS DESMOND COLLINS, legal counsel for the James Campbell estate in Hawaii, died on November 22. He was 51.

Tom grew up in Hawaii and in high school there earned letters in four sports. At Dartmouth he was a member of the varsity football team and Phi Kappa Psi; after graduation he went on to obtain his law degree from Boalt Hall Law School at the University of California at Berkeley.

He served in the Navy in the judge advocate general's office in Washington, D.C., before going into private practice in San Jose, Calif. Retiring in 1975, Tom sailed the Pacific for a year in a 42-foot ketch he built himself and then returned to Hawaii in 1976.

He is survived by three daughters, a son, his mother, two sisters, and two grandchildren.

CHARLES GILMAN JR. died of a heart attack on January 13. He and his family were strong supporters of Dartmouth. Upon graduation from Dartmouth, where he was Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year, "Chris" went to M.I.T. on a Rufus Choate fellowship and received a master's degree in mechanical engineering and business.

Following two years in the army, he joined the family business, the Gilman Paper Company, where he was president and co-chief executive officer with his brother Howard '44.

Among the Gilman family's many benefactions to Dartmouth have been the Gilman Biomedical Center, a complex dedicated in 1964 and housing the College's Department of Biological Sciences as well as facilities of the Dartmouth Medical School. The Gilman Foundation was a major source of funds for the Biomedical Center.

Chris was president and director of the Gilman Foundation and of St. Mary's Railroad in Georgia, a director of Bell Television Inc., treasurer of the Phoenix Theater, and a trustee of the Collegiate School. He had served as a director of the American Paper Institute and as a trustee of the Institute of Paper Chemistry.

Chris and Sondra lived in New York City and maintained homes also in Gilman, Vt., and Yulee, Fla.

The sympathy of the class is extended to Chris's wife Sondra, his two sons, his mother, and his brother.

DAVID HENRY NEIDITZ died on December 28, 1981, apparently the victim of a heart attack. His body was found in the parking lot of the State Office Building in Hartford, Conn.

Following Dartmouth, Dave received his law degree from Harvard Law School and entered the family real estate business in Hartford. In 1967 he entered state politics and was elected to the House of Representatives, where he served eight years. This was followed by two years in the state Senate, and then appointment as Connecticut Banking Commissioner by the later Governor Ella Grasso. David's activities and accomplishments were many. As a representative, he led the successful drive to have Connecticut ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. He was also the main architect of the state's . 1971 Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.

Dave received an Outstanding Legislator Award from the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. He chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and was one of those responsible for the unification of the Connecticut court system in a single tier.

Governor William O'Neill said that David had "quickly won widespread respect throughout the banking community for his understanding and skill in regulating this complex industry." He called him "a dedicated public servant who will be sorely missed."

David, who was divorced, leaves two sons, his mother and father, and a sister and brother. The sympathy of the class is extended to all members of the family.

Dartmouth lost one of its great friends and supporters on December 24, 1981, when EUGENE FRANCIS TEEVENS II died of a heart attack at his home in Pembroke, Mass.

Born in East Boston, Mass., Gene attended Boston schools and Kimball Union. He was a superb athlete and entered Dartmouth with every expectation of continuing his sports; however, his football and hockey days were cut short by a series of injuries. He majored in history and was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, Sphinx, and the Newman Club. After graduation he joined Pittsburgh Plate Glass and remained with the company until his retirement.

Gene married Mary Horn, also of Boston, shortly after graduation, and over the years they produced nine marvelous children who more than fulfilled their mother and father's expectations for them.

Gene's funeral service, in which each of his children participated, had as a theme Gene's three great loves in life: his God, his family, and Dartmouth. Certainly his faith was unshakeable and was passed on to his children. His sense of duty to his children was fundamental, and while other men worked late at the office, Gene would be home teaching his off-spring - boys and girls alike the basics of passing, catching, running, and skating, among other things.

And the fruits of Gene's efforts accrued to his alma mater. Two of the boys (so far) have attended Dartmouth and compiled enviable records. Eugene F. "Buddy" Teevens, class of '79, was captain of football and played hockey, while Shaun, class of'82, is captain of hockey and played football. The other seven children are no less gifted. It is this family that was Gene's joy in life and finest legacy.

We will remember Gene on the campus, always ready to hoist a beer with a smile and lead us in song, and in more recent years after a Harvard game, down on the field with one of his uniformed sons and with his family and friends about him.

The family has suggested that memorial contributions be made to the Eugene F. Teevens Memorial Fund at Dartmouth.

N. C. WILEY JR. '52

1957

It is with deep regret that I inform the class of the death of PETER SHERMAN BARKER of Duxbury, Mass. Peter died of cancer at Massachusetts General Hospital on April 2, 1981

Peter spent freshman year with us in Hanover and went on to graduate from Wabash College. Although I never knew Peter at Dartmouth, our paths crossed when he and I were working on the Boston City Hall architectural competition back in 1962. Since then we not only had worked together professionally but had enjoyed many memorable hours on various golf courses.

Peter was a devoted family man. He richly enjoyed watching his children Tracey, 19, Gregory, 16, Wendy, 14, and Scott, 13 grow and become very proficient in not one sport each, but many. Greg was selected in early 1981 to go to Finland and represent many young hockey players from the Greater Boston area. His oldest daughter, Tracey, is at Rochester Institute of Technology and is carrying on the Barker tradition for design talent. Peter's father, "Obie" Barker '26, was also a talented architect who designed hundreds of homes in Duxbury. Peter had done a number of additions to these homes and designed a number of homes (including his own) which have been built in the area and in New Hampshire and California.

Peter was heavily involved in community affairs in Duxbury and was serving on the Board of Appeals at the time of his death. Duxbury Youth Hockey took a lot of his time, as a coach for various teams on which both his sons participated. In the springtime you would find Peter out on the Softball diamond coaching his youngest daughter's "My Gal Sal" League. He thoroughly enjoyed working with young people no matter how talented they were.

Peter as an active member of the Duxbury Yacht Club, where he had won many sailing championships over the years, and he was a national champion in the Mercury Class. He also performed in their yearly shows, a talent he shared later with his children.

At the time of Peter's death he was the second in command of the Massachusetts Bureau of Building Construction. He received his degree from the Boston Architectural Center an was a registered architect.

Our deepest sympathies go to his wife Diane (Crosswaite), his children, his sister, and his father; Oliver L. Barker '26.
