1910

HIRAM NORTON CUSHMAN, whom his classmates knew as "Cush," passed away on February 15 at the age of 94.

Cush was a member of the Life Underwriters Association and the Masons, and he enjoyed a variety of sports throughout his life.

His son Franklin wrote a letter to Cush's classmate Art Lord upon his father's death, giving a glowing account of the happiness and richness of their family life. "Dad has been remarkable in every way throughout all of the years of later life," Cush's son wrote, "staying energetic, mentally as keen as a razor, and endowed with tremendous enthusiasm for the things which he enjoyed greatly such as the College and sports." After he retired, Cush would often drive with his son to Hanover in the fall for one or two football games, as well as taking in the Harvard game at Soldiers Field.

George's business career started with the San Francisco branch of the De Laval Separator Company, pioneering industrial applications of centrifugal machines, and closed with his retirement in New York as president of the firm and chairman of the board of the De Laval Steam Turbine Company in 1951 after 30 years of service.

He then began, enthusiastically, a career as a watercolorist. His paintings, reflecting his special interest in the Southwest and New England, have been exhibited at the Hopkins Center and other galleries. He was an associate member of the American Watercolor Society and the Southwest Society of American Artists. The "outdoors" was a lifetime hobby especially ranching in Nevada and trout fishing throughout the U.S. and Canada.

All class affairs received his wholehearted support, including, since he moved to Hanover in 1966, the football reunions which he promoted each September. In 1973 he'chaired 1918's 55th reunion.

1920

JOHN SCOTT MAYER died on May 23. Born in Chicago in 1898, Jack was a man of many activities: investment counselor, banker, military officer, Mason, Presbyterian elder, and, notably, for many years both a leader and a catalyst as 1920 head class agent.

When Jack was five his family moved to Staten Island, which remained his home base until 1972, when he and his wife Margaret ("Margele," who died in 1981) moved to San Diego. After graduation from Curtis High he entered Dartmouth, leaving to join the Naval Reserve in 1918. After the war he studied' at the Wall Street division of New York University and in 1924 was graduated from the American Institute of Banking.

Jack soon recognized banking as a natural slot for him, and he covered the field thoroughly. From investment counseling (Mayer and Haas, with Al Haas '20) he went on to investment banking and became an eminently successful vice president and director of Distributors Group Inc., resigning in 1961 to become president of Richmond County Savings Bank. Jack's flair for handling money, his own as well as other people's, may explain his success as 1920's head agent from 1959 to 1976. This service was recognized by the College in 1972 when it awarded him the Fred A. Howland prize for the outstanding head agent of a class more than 40 years out: He also worked hard and diligently in the 1958 Capital Gifts Campaign and as a member of the executive committee of the Third Century Fund.

Jack also saw active service in both World Wars, and after his retirement as a colonel from the U.S. Army Reserve in 1958 he continued his interest in veterans groups and civil defense.

In the November 1972 ALUMNI MAGAZINE and again in January 1971, then-class secretary Bill Carter wrote splendid tributes to Jack well deserved flowers for the living, which do greater justice to this loyal and productive son of Dartmouth than this necessarily condensed obituary can do.

1922

Louis AUGUST GLUEK died on May 4 at a health care center in Minnesota. He had lived for many years in Excelsior, Minn.

Louis was born in 1898 in Minneapolis, and he prepared for college at Shattuck Military School. Graduating from Shattuck in June 1918, he enlisted in the Army and served at Fort Sheridan and in Cleveland, where in December 1918 he was honorably discharged as a second lieutenant. He then enrolled at the University of Minnesota and transferred to Dartmouth in September 1919.

He is well remembered by his many friends as a personable, highly-regarded classmate. He was a member of the Arts, Delta Tau Delta, and Sphinx senior society.

After graduation Louis returned to Minneapolis and began work with the North American Bank. He later joined an insurance agency, and in 1934 he went with the Gluek Brewing Company, initially in the advertising department. Later, before his retirement in 1964, he was for many years secretary and treasurer of the company.

He and his family were long-time residents on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, where he greatly enjoyed boating.

He was a loyal Dartmouth alumnus and he would have loved to come back to our 60th reunion. His affiliations with the College included his older son, Louis Jr., who was in the class of '49 and Tuck '50 and who most sorrowfully passed away in September 1981. Louis's grandson, Louis III, was class of '75; his grandson-in-law, Judson L. Porter Jr., was '76; Louis's nephew, Alvin C. Gluek Jr.. was '45; and his great-nephew, Alvin C. Gluek III, was 74.

Louis and Margaret (Nash) were married 59 years ago in Minneapolis. She, their son Elliott, and six grandchildren are his survivors. The class joins them in bereavement.

1923

EUGENE GAY-TIFET died on June 19 in Lake View, N.Y. He was a native of Buffalo and a graduate of the Nichols School. After graduation from Dartmouth he attended Harvard Law School and the University of Buffalo. At Dartmouth he was a member of Alpha Chi Rho.

A recent long and complimentary article about Eugene in the Buffalo Evening News tells us that "although his initial career choice was chemistry as an undergraduate he came to the conclusion that literature was more to his liking." While he was at Harvard he first encountered the works of Norwegian Nobel Prize-winner Knut Hamsun, which so delighted him that he read every available translation of that author. He later became fluent in the Norwegian language and taught himself to speak Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Polish as well.

Published translations by Eugene included four of the works of Hamsun and seven of those of other Norwegian and Danish authors. For many years he was editor of Partners, published by the National Labor Management Foundation of Chicago. He was also the proprietor of a well-known Buffalo bookstore, a music critic on the staff of the Boston Herald, and an accomplished musician in his own right.

A learned and distinguished gentleman whom few of us knew well enough, he will be greatly missed by his many friends and literary associates. His only immediate survivor is his wife Lola (Olszewska).

CLARENCE ADELBERT ROBINSON died of cancer on July 26 at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland. A native of New York City, he graduated from Stuyvesant High School and then enlisted in the Army Ambulance Corps. In 1918 and 1919 he was stationed in Italy and France. When he returned from the service he enrolled at Western Reserve University, where he remained until 1921, when he transferred to Dartmouth. He was a member of Sigma Chi and on the swimming team, and he sang in the Glee Club for two years.

In 1926 Robby moved to Cleveland, where he joined the Singers Club. In 1976 he was elected an honorary member of the club, an honor usually reserved for former conductors. Following a period as president of National Hotels Corporation, he worked for several years for American Fork and Hoe Company and was later president for sales at Arco Electric Company.

1950

The class will note with sadness the death on March 19 of DAVID CAVILEER PITTENGER following a valiant struggle against cancer.

An October 1981 telephone conversation with "Pitt" revealed that yes, he had cancer, but no, he was not discouraged, and that he had every intention of meeting his adversary calmly and unflinchingly. This he did!

His beloved wife Lee reports that, Pitt "never complained during the six months he was sick and his spirits were great the whole time."

Dave had a mind of his own and did not necessarily march down beaten paths. He never said yes when he didn't mean it. He gave scant attention to people or issues in whom or in which he didn't believe.

His business activities were in sales, marketing, and advertising with a number of companies. In 1964 he, Lee, and their boys moved to Duxbury, Mass. They loved life there, and in 1966, when the Independent Nail Company, of which he was sales manager, offered him a promotion and transfer, he resigned and carved out a new niche for himself in advertising.

As Lee told me, "Pitt's real loves were his family and his home that's where his efforts went."

Dave's love for Dartmouth also ran deep. He was president of the Detroit Alumni Club and served in numerous offices in the South Shore (Massachusetts) Club. He was an alumni interviewer for 18 years. One of his great joys was the admission to and graduation from the College of sons John 75 and Mike '78.

Prior to his illness, Dave pursued his interest in athletics consistently. He coached Duxbury youth soccer teams. He sailed, skied, played tennis and paddle tennis, and, in 1980, was runner-up in the Duxbury Yacht Club golf tournament.

Besides Lee, John, and Mike, Dave is survived by another son and an infant granddaughter bom a week after his death.

1955

We've just recently heard of the passing of our classmate, ARTHUR JACOB FEINSTEIN, who succumbed to lung cancer in November 1981 at his home in Barrington, Ill. Art is survived by his wife Bobbi, together with two sons and two daughters.

Art grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., graduating in 1951 from Poly Prep, where he captained the soccer team and won national prizes in English and Spanish.

At Dartmouth, Art majored in English, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. His deep sense of social responsibility, demonstrated later in life, developed in these undergraduate years through his involvement in activities fostering appreciation and understanding among people of differing cultural backgrounds.

In 1955, Art went to Princeton to study for a doctorate in literature, planning to teach at the college level. But shortly before completing his degree, he switched to civil engineering, returning turning to Thayer School and getting an M.S.C.E. in 1961.

Over the next nine years Art worked primarily in hydraulic and water engineering for the State of California, Harza Engineering, and Bauer Engineering. In 1970, he opened his own practice in Chicago as a consulting engineer.

Since then. Art had planned and managed water resource projects in the energy and food sectors all over the world. Irrigation, hydroelectric, and national water planning projects from Bangladesh to Ecuador kept him traveling much of the time. Shortly before his death he completed a major water resource study for the World Bank. Art's social responsibility, developed in his early Dartmouth years, came to fruition.

Art's greatest joy, his family, also blossomed during these years. Son Seth graduated from the University of Arizona, son Joel from Union and the University of Illinois (M.S.C.E.), and daughter Diva from Skidmore. Miriam is now at Dartmouth in the class of 1984.

We all express our heartfelt sympathy to Bobbi and the children. Art left us all a lengthy legacy of memories and examples which will not be soon forgotten.
