Al's wit and personal magnetism made him an extraordinary companion. Who in Tuck School can forget the time he entered the classroom through a second-floor window to give the class in statistics his oral presentation? So, too, we recall the night he was master of ceremonies at the class's 15th reunion and concluded that hilarious evening by jumping with elan into Occom Pond. Classmates looked forward annually to his iconoclastic Christmas card.

1952
EDWARD AARON SMUCKLER died March 6. From the onset of his terminal illness some months ago, Ed had been fully aware of his condition. He handled the last days of his life with grace and strength.
Ed was a doctor, scientist, and teacher. He liked best the description of him as a pathologist-educator. His record charts an enormous range of talent and productivity which is best appreciated when combined with his intelligence, wit, good humor, integrity, common sense, and concern about illness and disease.
His life knew many passions; an avid skier, he was medical advisor to the Far West Ski Patrol. He was a lover of good food and wine, of literature and music. Those classmates who knew him well wished that they,had known him even better.
At Dartmouth, Ed was a member of Gamma Delta Chi fraternity and the DOC. He majored in chemistry and went on to earn his M;D. from Tufts University and his Ph.D. from the University of Washington.
Ed was a person of strong feelings. He supported heartily his family, friends, and students. As a pathologist who spent his career on cancer research, he had little respect for those businesses whose products endangered human health He had an abiding interest in Dartmouth as an educational institution. He was proud of the fact that two of his five children, a son and a daughter, had attended Dartmouth. Most of all, he was rooted to the notion that a liberal arts undergraduate education required openness, breadth, and change to appropriately shape the dimensions of a postgraduate life. He felt Dartmouth did this for him.
Ed had remarried this past year. To his wife, Bobbie, and to the children go the class's heartfelt condolences.
