Dartmouth Student Dies in Fall

One Dartmouth College student is dead and a former student seriously injured following a climbing accident high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Michael K. Woolley, a sophomore from Smithtown, N. Y., died as the result of injuries he suffered in a fall on July 16. W. Randall Day, Jr. 'B2 of Belvidere, 111., suffered a broken hip and was hospitalized in Peru. Woolley and Day were in a steep decent from the summit of Mt. Huascaran, the highest peak in Peru, when the accident occurred. Three other Dartmouth graduates, also members of the climbing expedition, escaped injury. They are Eric Bates '83, of Freeport, Maine, David Goldstein '82, of Los Angeles, Calif., and W. Dougald Mac Donald '82 of Yarmouth, Maine. All five were members of the Dartmouth Mountaineering Club.

Woolley, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald D. Woolley, graduated with honors from St. Anthony's High School. A very popular student at Dartmouth, he participated last fall in the College's Language Studies Abroad Program and was a member of Foley House Fraternity.
