FRED WILLIAM PERKINS, 86, emeritus mathematics professor at Dartmouth for 37 years, died May 14 in Hanoveir.

Professor Perkins was born in Maiden, Mass. A 1921 graduate of Harvard, he earned an A.M. degree there in 1922 and a Ph.D. degree in 1928. He was an instructor in mathematics at Harvard from 1923 to 1926 and he spent 1926--27 in travel and study in Europe as a Sheldon Fellow from Harvard. He worked during that period at the University of Poitiers, at the Sorbonne, and at the University of Strasbourg.

Professor Perkins joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1927 as an instructor and was promoted to assistant professor in 1934 and to full professor in 1940. He was chairman of the department of mathematics from 1939 to 1949 and from 1951 to 1955. He retired in 1964.

He was the author of numerous articles for mathematical journals as well as reviews of books and mathematical research papers. He co-authored with another Dartmouth professor, Donald Kreider, the textbook An Introduction to Linear Analysis, published in 1966. In July, 1936, he presented a paper at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Oslo, Norway.

Professor Perkins was a member of the American Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Association of America, the American Association of University Professors, and the New Hampshire Academy of Science. In 1940 he was appointed by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America as the chairman of the committee on arrangements for their joint summer meeting at Dartmouth.

From 1937 to 1942, he was a deacon of the Church of Christ at Dartmouth.

Head ski coach emeritus WALTER PRAGER, 74, died May 28 in Mountain View, Calif.

Walt was head coach of Dartmouth skiing for 17 seasons, 1936 through 1957, with four years out for World War II service in the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division. He is credited with having consistently developed some of America's finest collegiate ski teams and individual skiers, many of whom won national titles, Ail-American honors, and skied on U.S. Olympic teams.

Born in Bonn, Germany, Walt grew up in the Swiss Alps, where he taught himself to ski and began competitive skiing as a boy.

After he coached skiing for two years in Switzerland, he was recruited to succeed Otto Schniebs as Dartmouth ski coach. His teams subsequently won the Dartmouth Winter Carnival Cup 13 times, while individual Dartmouth skiers became Eastern and National titlists in every event except jumping and a total of 18 of his "boys" skied on U.S. Olympic teams.

During World War 11, Walt helped to train soldiers for combat ski troops. He won the Bronze Star for valor in action in the mountains of Italy. He interrupted his coaching at Dartmouth once again in 1948 when he was named head Alpine coach of the U.S. Olympic Ski Team for the games in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

In 1957, Walt resigned his'coaching position to found and operate a ski shop, first at Mount Snow in Vermont and later, in 1962, in Wilmington, N.Y., near Lake Placid, where he helped design the ski area at White Face Mountain, site of the 1980 Winter Olympics. In 1962 the Trustees of the College commissioned the late English sculptor T. B. Huxley-Jones to do a portrait head of Coach Prager, and it stands today in the lobby of the Dartmouth Outing Club headquarters in Robinson Hall. In 1977, his overall contribution to skiing in America was recognized with his induction to the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame. And, in 1982, the College's Trustees authorized President David T. McLaughlin to designate Prager as head ski coach emeritus.

Walt is survived by his son, Kari Prager '69.

A memorial fund is being established in his name to benefit the Dartmouth Ski Team, and contributions may be sent to the Dartmouth Outing Club, Robinson Hall, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755.

In recent years Ray had been involved in the mini-reunions at Williamsburg, Va.; and is well remembered as the chairman of the 20th and 25th reunions of our class.

HOWLAND HILL SARCEANT died in his sleep at his home in Manhattan on February 29. His distinguished career spanned more than 50 years of memorable achievements in the service of his country and of all mankind. "Howie," as we in the class of 1932 knew him, seemed marked for greatness from the beginning of his years at Dartmouth. In addition to his brilliant scholarship, he was, as his roommate Joe Byram recalls, "a very practical and regtilar fellow, with a great capacity for friendship. In his senior year he was elected president of his class, while being honored as a senior fellow, and by selection to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford." His many activities as an undergraduate included membership in Green Key and Palaeopitus, manager of the baseball team, and president of the Philosophical Club. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity.

His career included service in the State Department from 1947 to 1953, with important assignments and responsibilities, including assistant secretary for public affairs. He was the president and a trustee of Radio Liberty from 1954 to 1974, and in 1980 he became director of the Harkness Fellowships of the Commonwealth Fund. He was the author of two books: The Representation of the UnitedStates Abroad and Soviet Propaganda. In addition to these important achievements, Howie lent his great wisdom and humanity to many good causes. For Dartmouth, he held the important position of president of the Alumni Council from 1968 to 1969.

To his wife and sons, we join in grateful appreciation for a life which left the world a better place for his having been among us.

1948

With great sorrow we report the passing in Denver on January 28 of lAN MACARTNEY from a lung infection induced by Hodgkin's disease, incurred 24 years earlier in Venezuela.

Lan was one of four sons of Sheila and Horace Macartney '16. He and brother Hal '46 both became men of Dartmouth. Mac arrived in Hanover from Port Washington, N.Y., in July 1944 with some 300 civilian '4Bs. He took full advantage of Dartmouth's location in the hills through skiing (winning the College four-event combined championship his junior year), mountain climbing, white-water canoeing, hunting, and fishing'; He was chairman of Cabin and Trail and Woodard dorm chairman. When fraternities re-opened after the war, Mac and seven close friends from '46 through '49 joined Theta Delta Chi. He also had a fine academic record; a geology major, he always held Professor Dick Stoiber in highest esteem.

After graduation, Mac joined Amoco and buddies Dick Howe '46 and Jim Vanderbeek '47 in the search for oil in Colombia. His pro- fessional life led him to many geological fron- tier areas. In Venezuela he was Amoco's chief geologist. He then ran Amoco's exploration activities in Europe and is credited for discov- ery of the first and largest gas field in the British North Sea. His influence helped achieve U.K. tax provisions for North Sea production; those incentives resulted in much of the oil that today helps avoid OPEC dominance. Lan later was regional vice president of Amoco International's activities in South America and the Far East. He ended his career with Hamilton Brothers in his beloved Rocky Mountains.

Lan left a host of friends and a proud loving family, including wife Carla and five children (son Hal is class of '75). He will be remembered for acute and sensitive intelligence, steadfast loyalty to principles and associates, absolute reliability against adversity, indomitable spirit (in the sixties Mac overcame nearparalysis caused by back surgery, learning to walk again, to play polo, and to ski), and for his marvelous sense of the comic and mastery of language. All of us who knew him lost the irreplaceable when Mac made his last climb to the Big Sky.

1954

ALAN ROBERT WEISSMAN died in August 1982 after a long struggle with cancer. His wife Jasmyn furnished the following article from The San Francisco Guardsman, with the headline "Businessman becomes hobo and emerges as a new poet."

"If there's such a thing as a 'renaissance' man in the 1980's, Moriarity [Alan Weissman] is the man. Becoming a student at San Francisco's City College last year is just one more plateau in Moriarity's colorful 49 years. One of his latest poems, 'The Trooper,' won first place in the contest for the Merritt Beckerman $lOO Award at City College last week.

"After graduating from Dartmouth, he followed in the footsteps of the family business, designing and manufacturing custom-made lighting fixtures. But the open road beckoned. Like his adopted namesake of the Kerouac legends, Moriarity sold his business and left New York. He retired to the life of a wanderer. For two years he roamed the U.S. and the world as a hobo, hitchhiker, and adventurer, not knowing from one day to the next where he would crash with his sleeping bag and bedroll. After a serious operation and bout with cancer, Moriarity made a courageous comeback."

Besides maintaining a studio in San Francisco where he wrote and composed, Moriarity developed a busy social and intellectual life. He married Jasmyn in February 1983. He also worked on some TV videotapes for the English department of City College.

Looking back on his past, Moriarity once said: "This new life is great. I am very thankful. What else can I say It's great!"

He leaves Jasmyn and his parents of Sarasota, Fla.
