In college, he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and manager of the freshman track team. He took his M.B.A. at Tuck in 1928.

After college, Bob worked for Macy's in New York for two years but could not resist the temptation to return to Oklahoma, where his heart had always been. There, he sold insurance for a few years, but not finding this sufficiently lucrative for raising a family, he joined the Firstone Tire and Rubber Company as an auditor. A few years later he was transferred to Columbus, OH, where he spent most of the ensuing 40 years. He was manager of the Columbus office at the time of his retirement in 1974.

He had also served as auditor for the state of Ohio for ten years.

To our knowledge, Bob is the only member of 1927 who had three sons graduated from Dartmouth. Needless to say, this helps to explain his intense interest in and loyalty to the College, as well as his frequent attendance at reunions, convocations, and graduations.

This resulted in his moving to Walla Walla in 1938 as sales manager for one of the broker's customers, the Rogers Walla Walla Canning Company. He held this position for 38 years until his retirement in 1976.

Vern was always active in affairs of the canning industry, having served as president of the Northwest Canning Association and as a director of the National Canners Association. He was able to come to the East Coast for business meetings at least once a year, and in 1952 and 1977 planned these trips so that they coincided with the class's 25th and 50th reunions.

OTIS MILTON HUMPHREY, 77, died suddenly on July 4 at the summer home which he and Eleanor had maintained at Sorrento, ME. Ote came to Dartmouth from Lowell (MA) High School, was a member of Theta Delta Chi, and majored in economics. Following graduation he spent several terms in night courses, including three years at what was then Lowell Textile Institute, following early and continuing family interest in textiles.

In 1940 he joined Ensign-Bickford Company, Simsbury, CT, manufacturers of safety and detonating fuses. In 1971 he resigned from his post as assistant to the general manager of its textile division. He was a member of the American Society of Training Directors and of the International Association of Industrial Editors.

Eleanor writes, "Our retirement years we thoroughly enjoyed, following our mutual interests. Traveling with a purpose mostly in England to visit places where our ancestors lived - has led to many pleasant times and interesting discoveries. Over the years we have shared our interest in art especially, as well as in literature, history, and genealogy."

Ote's life-long interests were in designing, sketching, skating, and sailing; as an undergraduate I can remember sailing with him out of Hull, MA, and in more recent times he had the enthusiastic interest of his entire family in sailing Frenchman Bay.

He was a member of the Hartford Dartmouth Club, served on the class executive committee, and was a regional chairman for the 50th reunion committee. He and Eleanor had planned to be at Woodstock for reunion, and Eleanor still planned to drop in, since their younger daughter and her husband now live in Quechee.

Ote was the most gentle and thoughtful man I ever knew, and I join with the class in sending his entire family our deep sympathy for their loss.

1946

DUNCAN HUGH MACNAMEE, known affectionately to many as "Mac" or "Doctor Mac," died on July 3 in Hanover at age 58. He was the victim of a heart attack which tragically cut short his life and his selfless devotion to an extraordinary number of grateful people.

His life could easily be characterized as one success story after another, but that is too simple and doesn't even scratch the surface. For example, he abandoned a very successful tenyear practice in pediatrics because he found too many children with emotional problems and too few doctors to help them. He and Mimi with four young boys - gave up a secure position and he went back to school and a four-year residency to become one of America's relatively few child psychiatrists. He then joined the Department of Psychiatry at Dartmouth and became an instant and invaluable resource to the entire community - in the process, returning to his original college.

Following his brief stint at Dartmouth, which was interrupted by World War II, he continued at Princeton and then at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. At the other end of the academic spectrum, he had taught at Harvard's and Yale's medical schools and at the time of his death was associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Dartmouth.

He is survived by his wife Mimi; four sons Dana, Duncan, Jay '77, and Bart; a grandson; and his mother.

Hugh was a truly wonderful person. In closing, we cannot improve upon these words so carefully and lovingly chosen by his family for his newspaper obituary: "Hugh's life, however, was more than any words, dates, or places can ever hope to retell. And his contributions to the communities in which he lived extended far beyond professional services he offered. His love for athletics and for the young brought him close to many people who otherwise might not have had the chance to meet him. His obvious care for other human beings and his selfless dedication to their well-being earned him not only the respect of those who knew him, but their love and admiration."

WALLACE CARLTON CLARK, of Berkeley, CA, died of heart disease on May 25, at the age of 63.

BARRY ALAN MARKS, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Rhode Island, died on July 18 at age 57. Barry came to Dartmouth in July 1943 and was well known in sporting circles involving lacrosse, football, and ice hockey. He was also known as one of our better students, and after graduation Barry served as assistant to the dean. He went on to earn a master's and a doctorate in humanities and was an instructor at Dartmouth in government and Great Issues. He also taught at Brown, the University of Lille, France, and American University, where he established an innovative doctoral program in literature. Barry joined URI in 1976 and led a revision of the college's general education program that had a campus-wide impact. During the 1982 83 year, he represented the administration in the search for a new university president. Through his academic leadership, Barry earned a reputation for openness, integrity, and an unending pursuit of excellence.

Barry also chaired the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights from 1965 to 1968. He has published works in his field, on Cummings, Twain, Hawthorne, and Thoreau. His other interests included sailing, golf, and tennis, and in 1982 he was a member of the doubles team which won the state title over 45 other tandems.

Barry was born in New York City and prepared at Deerfield. He leaves his wife Patricia, two daughters, a son, and a step-daughter.

Barry's friends in Dartmouth '47 could have predicted his success 40 years earlier. We remember a fun-lover, a quiet intellectual, a down-to-earth sort with simple, clear goals and needs and a love of sports.

The success Barry has made over the past 40 years is a credit to the traditions and ideals of Dartmouth, of URI, of America, and of our society. We are so fortunate for Barry's life and good will and can say only, "Well done, and God bless you."

We are sorry to belatedly report the death of WILLIAM CHAUNCEY SHEPHERD on August 18, 1982. It is important that a brief history of his academic career be given so that all his classmates will know how much William contributed in his abreviated lifetime and how much Dartmouth can be proud of him as one of its graduates.

At the time of his death, William was a professor of religious studies at the University of Montana and a visiting scholar at the Center for the Study of New Religious Movements, Berkeley, CA. His academic career took him from Yale in 1967, where he was a graduate fellow and instructor, to Smith College, where he became an assistant professor, then to the University of Montana as a full professor. Throughout his career he wrote numerous articles and reviews and published several books. He was the recipient of several academic awards and served as an editorial consultant to several religious journals. In sum, he was a man of distinction in his field of study and was a highly respected scholar.

He leaves his wife, Molly Shepherd, who is an attorney with the firm of Worden, Thane, and Haines in Missoula, MT. His classmates extend their condolences to her. We should all perform in our respective careers as productively and humanely as William.
