Faculty/Staff

A young associate professor at the Amos Tuck School, CORNELIUS CASEY, 34, died October 15 of a heart attack while jogging, near his home in West Lebanon, N.H.

He earned his B.S. in accounting from the University of Delaware and his Ph.D. in accounting from Ohio State University. From 1977 to 1982 he was an assistant professor of business administration at Harvard; he joined the faculty of the Tuck School in 1982.

He was a well-known financial writer and consultant, and his articles had appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Christian Science Monitor. He was described by colleagues as an energetic and unique individual and as a "talented and popular teacher" who was "gaining wide recognition in his field, in academic circles, and the business community as well."

He was an avid jogger, running about five miles at a time several times a week. He had been an amateur boxer during college, winning 21 of 25 fights as a light heavyweight.

Bernice Grant, 66, former secretary to the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, died November 4 at Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover. With the dauntless grace that was her hallmark, Betty had contended for many years with lymphoma.

Born in Lyme, N.H., Betty graduated from Hanover High School and then began a working relationship with Dartmouth that by the time of her retirement in 1982 had spanned four decades. For many years she worked as accessionist at Baker Library, and after a break of several years during which she edited The Virginia Drama News, published by the University of Virginia, she returned to the College and served both its department of financial aid and its medical school before accepting her last position as executive secretary at the Magazine.

An ardent friend of nature and lover of books, she was co-founder and owner with Rae Welch of Granwel Books, a bookstore specializing in natural history.Originally established to support a wildlife sanctuary surrounding their home on Lyme's Post Pond, the store was later incorporated with an art gallery.

Betty is survived by her companion of 36 years, Rae Welch, and by three nieces, Barbara Balch and Patricia Jenks, also of Lyme, and Andrea Gordon of Olney, Md., as well as by many cousins.

She was a stalwart organizer of us all, staff and class officers alike, compassionately efficient and unfailingly cheerful. When she retired after five years here, we missed her generous care (and the never empty gumdrop dish on her desk), and it is hard to accept knowing that she will no longer make those welcome drop-in visits to the office. Her passing lessens the light in the world. S.G.

Georgf French Theriault '33, Lincoln Filene professor of human relations and professor of sociology emeritus, died October 19 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital after a prolonged illness.

George graduated from Dartmouth with the class of 1933 and was a very active member of that class. He held several class officer positions and served as both secretary and chairman of the executive committee.

George joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1936 after doing graduate work at the University of Wisconsin and after receiving his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. He was appointed the first Lincoln Filene Professor of Human Relations, an endowed chair created in 1962 as part of an enlarged program of instruc- tion and research in human relations made possible by a grant from the trustees of the Lincoln and Therese Filene Foundation. He was a popular teacher in the Dartmouth community, and his lectures attracted long waitlists of students.

He was born in Nashua, N.H., on April 19, 1911, the son of Marcel Theriault, a former state senator and noted Nashua lawyer, and Annette (Jodoin) Theriault.

George was a longtime resident of both Hanover and Norwich. After his retirement he was elected to the Norwich board of se lectmen and served for many years on its planning commission, also with service on the board of the Norwich Public Library.

George is survived by his wife, the former Ray Speight; a daughter, Marica Louise Theriault, of Quebec; a son, George F.Theriault Jr., of New London, N.H.; and three grandchildren.

A memorial service was held on Tuesday, October 23, at Rollins Chapel.

1920

Thomas Rice Carpenter, 86, of Tequesta, Fla., died October 7.For some years Tom lived in Norwalk, Conn. Twenty years ago he moved to Tequesta after his retirement. Although he entered Dartmouth in 1916 he was called into War Service on April 17,1917. Places where he was stationed included the USS Topeka, Camp Burrage at Boston Harbor, and the Wakefield Rifle Range, Officer Material School, New Hampshire State College. He was released from active duty to return to Dartmouth in October 1917 and reentered the service in April 1918.

Following graduation from Dartmouth in 1922 he entered Harvard Graduate School of Business, receiving his M.B.A. in 1923.

Tom was a corporate tax consultant. His company, Campbell and Carpenter, was engaged primarily in work for the public utility companies of the New York City area. For two years he was with the Fisk Rubber Company in the Industrial Engineering Department. Tom's father, Charles L.Carpenter, was a member of the class of 1887.

Survivors in Tom's family include his wife, Elsie; two daughters, Charlotte C. Judge, of Yarmouth, Maine; eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, to whom the class extends its sympathy.

Ned Shnayerson, distinguished surgeon in New York's Manhattan Riverdale area for 40 years, died on August 1 of this year at his home in the Bronx. He was 85 years old. At graduation from Dartmouth in 1920, Ned was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and a candidate for a Rhodes scholarship. His decision to head toward the medical profession came at this time, and he entered the University of Pennsylvania, receiving his M.D. in 1922.

According to Robert Shnayerson, who deeply revered his stepfather not only for his contributions to the medical field but for the type of man he was, Ned was a physician of the "old school." No social engagement was important enough to keep him from caring for those in need of his professional help. His rest and meals were often cut short so that he could attend a patient. One day on the highway he came upon an accident where a man's leg had been severed. No one was helping him. Ned stopped and took care of the situation. Money was not his aim, and many of his cases were those of the indigent.

Ned was former chief of surgery at St. Luke's Hospital before it became St. Luke'sRoosevelt Hospital Center. He was also chief of surgery in the forties and fifties at Polyclinic Hospital. Here he often dealt with injured athletes, such as boxers and hockey players, rushed in from the old Madison Square Garden, then just across the street from the hospital. Beyond his emergency skills, Ned was acknowledged among his colleagues as a pioneer in vascular surgery and as a great teacher of young surgeons.

In spite of some setbacks of his own, Ned kept bravely on in his desire to help others. The Shnayerson family can be justly proud and very grateful to be part of this rich heritage exemplified by Ned. He is survived by his wife, the former Madelene Griffin; a daughter, Mary Mathews; a stepson, Robert Shnayerson '50; and five grandchildren, including Michael Shnayerson '76.

The class of 1920 extends deepest sympathy to the family of Ned Shnayerson.

Ed served many times as an assistant for the Alumni Fund. He received the 1930 Award in 1965 as chairman of the 35th reunion. Last September he attended the Woodstock reunion, his last meeting with much loved classmates.

The following quotation is from the eulogy delivered by Monsignor John Carroll at Ed's funeral mass: "Edward Butterworth became an uncommon man of many facets. He had an uncommon devotion to family. For 49

years he was a deeply faithful and loving husband, a zealously supportive father of five girls, a doting grandfather to 13 grandchildren. ...I never visited him in. the hospital without a member of the family being present, especially one whom the Old Testament calls valiant his wife, Betty.

"He had an uncommon legal mind. . . . He had an uncommon faith in his God. This was evident to me especially on his deathbed. He carried his cross with great courage. He had an uncommon devotion to the community. This ranged from the rough and tumble of politics to the sensitivity required in working with multihandicapped children. He had an uncommon devotion to his college. I suppose the greatest praise for the loyalist is that he bled Dartmouth green!"

Ed was indeed an uncommon man. Where ever he went he brought strong views, debating skills, much conversation, a warm heart, and a delight in friendship. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and five daughters. To his family and friends we extend our love and sympathy.

1956

It is with sadness that I report the death of EDWARD ISAIAH Braverman on January 11 of cardiac arrest as a consequence of septic shock.

Ed came to Dartmouth from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. He majored in mathematics as relaxation from the rigors of a premed program. Ed received an M.D. degree from Albert Einstein School of Medicine and served his internship and residencies in internal medicine and cardiology at Beth El Hospital in Brooklyn and Montefiore Hospital in New York City.

Upon completion of military service in the United States Army Medical Corps at Fort Dix, N.J., Ed entered private practice in Freeport, Long Island, where he specialized in cardiology.

Ed's service as an assistant class agent and an alumni interviewer for the admissions office will be missed by the College, and all members of the class of '56 will miss his warmth, friendliness, and long history of participation in class activities.

The sympathy of the class is extended to his widow, Susan Plavin Braverman, his son, Andrew, his daughter, Louise, and his

mother, Mary Braverman.

1971

With sadness, I report the death of our popular classmate RICHARD PATRICK GRAN FIELD on September 4, in Washington, D.C. Those of us who last saw Rich in May were unaware that a hidden cancer would so swiftly take his life. He leaves his wife, Patricia, his daughter, Erin, his son, R.Patrick Jr., his father and mother, and his brother, Timothy.

A native of New Haven, Conn., Rich graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Thomaston, Ga. At Dartmouth he graduated cum laude, with highest distinction in international relations. He participated in the Dartmouth Christian Union and worshipped at the Aquinas House. He was a language instructor and a fraternity brother in Delta Kappa Epsilon.

At Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville he served as associate editor of the VanderbiltJournal of Transnational Law. After graduation from law school in 1974, Rich won a position with the Wall Street firm of Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam, and Roberts. He then joined Shearman and Sterling in New York, and from 1978 to 1980 he practiced in its Paris office.

At his death, Rich was a partner in the Washington office of Lillick, McHose, and Charles, and he was a captain in the Air Force Reserve.

His unique qualities endeared him to us all. His love of life, his kindness and humor, as well as his devotion to country, family, friends, and God, make us all proud to call him a son of Dartmouth. Those who worked with him are aware of his deep sense of integrity.

There was a special place in his heart for the College. His singing of our great fight songs at football games became a tradition. His imaginative way of talking about virtually any subject was spellbinding. His magnetic spirit will be with us always. The class extends its deepest sympathy to Rich's family and friends.
