Faculty/Staff
ROBERT DAY ALLEN, a cell biologist at Dartmouth, died at his home on March 23, after a long illness. He was 58.
Professor Allen received widespread recognition for his discovery of the Allen Video Enhanced Contrast (AVEC) method of microscopy in 1983, a technique which enabled researchers to see the most minute motions within cells. Researchers hope AVEC will show whether blockages in the axonal transport process within nerve cells can lead to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
After the development of AVEC, he gave numerous workshops on the subject in France, England, Germany, and Japan. He and AVEC were most recently the topic of a feature article in the March 1986 issue of Science Digest.
The Ira Allen Eastman Professor of Biology at Dartmouth, he was the founding editor of the scientific journal Cell Motility in 1980. He was also the recipient of several honors, including two Guggenheim Fellowships, several guest investigatorships in Sweden, Japan, and France, and numerous grants. from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
He received an A.B. from Brown University in 1949 and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1953. During his career he taught at the University of Michigan, Princeton, the State University of New York at Albany, and at Dartmouth College from 1975 to 1986. He chaired the Dartmouth biology department from 1975 to 1979.
Professor Allen was also a noted cellist, starting his career during college as first cellist with the Rhode Island Symphony.
He is survived by his wife, Dr. Suzanne T. Allen of Worcester, Mass.; two daughters and a son; and a stepson and a stepdaughter, both from a previous marriage.
JAMES LAWLOR FARLEY '42 died March 14 at his home in Cornish, N.H., after a long bout with cancer. He was 65. Jim grew up in Grosse Pointe, Mich., but after graduation from Dartmouth and four years in the navy, including two years as a lieutenant in the Pacific, he became a permanent New Hampshireman.
He worked at Dartmouth for two intervals: as a writer and editor for the AlumniMagazine and the News Service from 1946 to 1948 and again as assistant director of the News Service from 1970 until his retirement in 1983. In intervening years, he served as a staff reporter for the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press, as editor of the Claremont (N.H.) Daily Eagle, and as cofounder/editor/columnist of TheValley News.
Jim lent a hand to a long list of civic and charitable organizations in New Hampshire and Vermont—hospitals, schools, fairs, museums, youth groups, Dartmouth, and the Democratic Party.
He added a glow to whatever he touched, this sweet, wise, witty, gentle man. Beneath luxuriant eyebrows twinkled the eyes of a leprechaun. Crisp, clear prose flowed from his agile mind and ancient typewriter. He was a copyreader's dream, a writer who got it right. He battled, in person and print, cant and the Modern Machine. Sometimes, he cheerfully admitted, machines won a round or two.
Jim loved language, literature, and books. He was a quoter and punster and an encyclopedia of information. He did Sunday Times puzzles over a single cup of coffee. He knew his way around the labyrinths of Latin and Greek. When called upon, he could deliver a creative expletive high and inside.
He is survived by his wife, Martha, six children, three brothers, eight grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. D.A.D. F.H.

Always in sales and sales management, he had represented the Moore organization in Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, Boston, Milwaukee, and St. Louis and became their district manager in Albany in 1945, covering the eastern half of New York State.
He was a director of the National Association of Accountants and the National Office Management Association and a member of the Data Processing Management Association.
On the local scene in his hometown of Delmar, N.Y., he was actively involved and held offices in the Red Cross, Community Chest, his church, the Planning Board, the local town government, and scouting.
He was an active member of the Albany Dartmouth Club, served as its president, and worked in candidate interviewing.
Bill is survived by his wife, Grace, whom he married in 1934, and by four daughters and a son. We extend to them our deepest sympathy.
JAMES BARR SUDDUTH died on April 6 at the Memorial Medical Center, Springfield, Ill., after a serious illness. Jim had lived in Springfield throughout his life. He had owned and managed several acres of rich farmland in the Springfield area from graduation until his death. In this, he was actively aided by his first wife, Frances Cox Sudduth, whom he married in 1933, and his second wife, the former Katherine Sankey, who survives.
Among his local interests were the Springfield chapter of the Red Cross, the Public Health Service, both of which he served as a director, and the Association of Commerce and Industry. He was a 32nddegree Mason.
In addition to Katherine, Jim is survived by one son, Richard S., three stepchildren, and a granddaughter.
ROBERT EDWIN ZIMMERMAN suffered a fatal heart attack on April 7 at La Jolla, Calif., where he had made his home since 1952.
Bob had three careers. He worked as an executive for U.S. Truck Lines from 1943 to 1949 and continued in the interstate trucking industry with Roadway Express until 1952, when he "retired" at the age of 43. During this period, he lived in Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, and Indianapolis.
He then moved to La Jolla, where he went back to work in the real estate business in 1959 and continued in it until 1969.
From then on, he and Laura (Anne Elliot), whom he had married in 1935, adopted a highly enviable life-style. They traveled widely but finally found a second home at Kailua-Kona on Hawaii. For the past two decades, they divided their time about equally between these two homes.
Bob served as president of the Dartmouth Club of San Diego County in 1955 and was also active in such local organizations as the PTA, the Town Council Zoning Committee, and Little League baseball. He was an ardent and accomplished photographer.
In addition to Laura, Bob is survived by his son, Lee, and two grandchildren.

BRENT WELLINGTON BARKER passed away at his home in East Haven, Conn., on February 19. A memorial service was held at First Baptist Church in Branford where he had been active all his life. He had suffered a stroke five years ago but fought a cheerful battle, his friends say, till the end.
Brent came to Dartmouth from Branford High School and majored in English and philosophy. He was active in the Varsity Glee Club and a member of the Bema. After graduation he worked as salesman for Montgomery Ward in the South, then returned to Connecticut, buying a small hardware store in East Haven, which continued to operate for 30 years. Then after three years of teaching high school English, he worked in a hardware store belonging to Bob McDonald '33 in Madison until he became too ill to work.
As his good friend Bill Hitchcock '33 reported, the memorial service testified to Brent's lifelong devotion to church life in Branford, as deacon, teacher, and member of the choir. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Thelma, and by his three sons, Harvey, William '63, and Brent II, and by six granddaughters, two grandsons, and two great-grandchildren.
One of 1934's most distinguished classmates, CALVIN CALMON, died of cancer in Princeton April 1. Cal spent almost his entire career with the Ritter-Pfaudler division of the Permutit Company - and was acclaimed nationwide for his work in dynamic polymers, absorbents, membranes, and pollution-control processes. He held several patents on ion exchange technology. As an army captain in World War II, he received a Presidential citation for his development of a water de-salting emergency kit.
Cal was born in Poland, and the late Gail Raphael wrote in the newsletter last year that Cal's account of his family's escape in the aftermath of World War I, written in freshman English class, was one of the most moving accounts he ever remembered. Modestly, Cal wrote, "It wasn't my family which suffered the fate described in Gail's note. The main thesis of the essay was the search of a boy of 12 for an explanation for the terror, violence, and horrors that took place during the war . . . and his breaking out of his safe and self-centered world into a universe of insecurity, but filled with wonders."
Although elected to Phi Beta Kappa at Dartmouth, he did not accept the honor. He received a Ph.D. from Yale in 1938. He retired in 1973, continuing as a consultant and serving as treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Princeton. In 1974 he wrote, "In the 40 years since I graduated, I learned that (1) today, I know how foolish I was yesterday, and tomorrow I shall find that I was also foolish today - and (2) the most satisfying aspect of human life is in being constructively creative and in having a compassionate heart towards all life."
Cal leaves his Holland-born wife, Hanna, whom he married in 1969, and two stepchildren.
WILLIAM H. SCHERMAN '34
JOHN VINCENT MURPHY died on October 29, 1985, at the Palm Manor Nursing Home in Chelmsford, Mass., where he had moved with his wife during the past year after longtime residence in Dunstable.

Freshman year he lived in Gile with Herb Harris as his roommate. After two years he returned to Lowell, initially working with Greyvan Lines on long-distance moving and with the merchant marine during the war. He then shifted to real estate and insurance and was partner of Marden and Murphy and was active in Lowell business life as president of the Lions Club and Lowell Real Estate Association.
He leaves his wife, Beatrice, his son, Richard, and his daughter, Martha Morrow.
1935
JAMES MCLELLAN HUNTLEY died on March 16 at the Veterans Hospital in White River Junction. He is survived by his brother, Charles S. Huntley '27 of Austin, Tex. To him the class extends its sympathy.
While Jim spent only a year with us in the early thirties, many got to know and enjoy him in the fifties and sixties when he returned for both mini-reunions and regular reunions. He entertained us for many happy hours with his piano playing. We reciprocated with singing, dancing, and applause. He seemed to know all the music we remembered so well.
Aside from three-and-a-half-years' service in the army at Alamogordo Air Base in New Mexico as chief finance officer, he spent most of his life in the Hanover area. First, he was lay minister in the North Thetford and Post Mills churches; then, after service, he purchased the Union Village Store in Norwich and served as bookkeeper for several firms, including the Hanover Co-op.
He was the first president of the Norwich Historical Society and developed a growing interest for 13 years in the town and its history.
He suffered an artery occlusion to the brain in 1965 but continued to use his talent as a pianist and organist as therapy to overcome not only his disability but for the pleasure of others in nursing homes and at senior citizen events.
A true citizen of the Valley, born on a farm in Norwich, educated in Hanover, he died in White River.
1937
ALBERT EDWARD MAYER JR. died March 10 in Agawam, Mass., of lung cancer. He prepared for Dartmouth at Centra High School, Springfield, and Exeter Academy. In Hanover he majored in political science, was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, the Polo Association, Boot and Saddle, and the Glee Club. After graduation Al joined the family business, Albert E. Mayer, in Springfield as a salesman. In 1942 he became partner with his two older brothers, becoming president in 1948. The Mayer Company was the largest contracting company in Springfield, responsible for numerous buildings in the area. Al was chairman of the building committee of Longmeadow High School. From 1969 to 1971 he was president of the Pioneer Valley United Fund. He held directorships in the Hampden Savings Bank and Western Massachusetts Aviation Association. From 1953 to 1954 he was president of the Dartmouth Club of Springfield.
At age 50 he took up flying and fell in love with his Cessna which he took everywhere. In 1970 he flew kicking specialist Wayne Pirmann '72 from Hanover to New Haven after a Yale-Dartmouth soccer game to kick a field goal, giving Dartmouth a 100 win over Yale.
In February we had a letter from his son, Chris, that Al was in the hospital with lung cancer. We called him in the hospital and planned to visit him but he went too fast. Jim Stephens '36 attended the service.
He leaves sons Albert '64 of California, Chris '6B of Hartland, Vt., and daughter Marcia (Snyder) of Longmeadow.
1938
JOSEPH PETER SCHAEFFER died on January 19 at his home in Rye, N.Y., after a long illness. Peter joined our class from Roosevelt High School in Crestwood, N.Y., and roomed his freshman year in 102 Streeter Hall. He was an English major, a brother in Psi Upsilon, and manager of intramural athletics.
In September after our graduation he joined The Neiv York Herald Tribune as an advertising salesman, then in 1940 married Emmy Langer of Smith College and Bismarck, N.D. In our 25th reunion yearbook he relates, "Her father, who was then governor of North Dakota, first required a reference from the Dartmouth Chaplain, who quite obviously didn't know me. Can't remember how I got around this." Then Pete became an account executive with J. Walter Thompson advertising agency. During the war he was sent to Harvard for six months of training, then to the Naval Air Base in Devon, England. In 1947 he left J. Walter Thompson to become account executive on Jergens Lotion at Robert W. Orr Associates, then went to McCann-Erickson in 1952. To quote Pete again: "1960: took giant step into the investment brokerage business, Shields & Co. This beats advertising!" He remained a broker, becoming vice president of Shields Model Roland and Company.
In the early fifties polio struck Pete but did not stop him. When he was first hospitalized he was more concerned about the health and possible risk to those who visited him than his own condition. He attended many of our class reunions and was made class treasurer in 1958 and was a faithful class agent for numerous Alumni Fund campaigns.
He leaves his wife, Emmy, a daughter Pamela, two sons, Peter '69 and William, and warm memories for the rest of us. JOHN SCOTFORD '38
HARRY MARR STOODLEY JR. died in his home in Wickford, R.I., on March 28. "Red" joined our class from Phillips Exeter Academy and roomed in 107 Gile Hall with Chuck Blumenauer our freshman year and then with Boit Wiswall in 101 after that. Many of us remember his entertaining us by playing the piano and singing in the lounge of Commons after meals and as a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.
In June 1941 Harry and Fredece Littlefield of Newtonville, Mass., were married. They had two daughters, Noel and Sheryl. He joined the National Rockland Bank after College and then the Glidden Company. He served in the Coast Guard as an aerographer for three years during World War II. Then he successively worked for United Carr Fastener, Sherwin Williams, and Carter Ink Company. In 1948 he became part owner of the Edwin V. Post Company, an industrial painting contracting firm, until his retirement in 1978. He and his wife, "Bebe," lived during the warm months in a cottage on Sheepscott Bay and wintered in North Kingstown. He enjoyed "boating, music, eating lobsters, and straightening out his four grandsons (boy, do they need help!)" as he reported in a 1983 "Pace Setter."
Harry is survived by his wife, Fredece, along with their two daughters and four grandsons. JS.

JAMES WHITMORE ANDREWS died suddenly of a massive stroke on February 25 at home in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. He was born on July 22, 1919, son of George Reid Andrews, a minister, and Annie Cleveland Whitmore.
Jim grew up in North Carolina, Brooklyn, and Fairfield, Conn. He had a brilliant career with The Players at Dartmouth, playing a wide range of roles.
He was also an undergraduate director of The Players, active in the experimental theater and the Ledyard Canoe Club, and a member of Sigma Nu.
He was a conscientious objector during the war, working for the Civilian Personnel Service in the woods of North Carolina. He went after the war to Yale School of Drama, receiving his M.F.A. in 1950. He was assistant professor of drama at the University of Georgia from 1951 to 1953 and director of drama at Reed College from 1953 to 1955.

His late brother, George Reid Andrews Jr., was Dartmouth '37; two nephews went to Dartmouth, George R. III '72 and Douglas '80.
Jim was a talented, charming, funny, and troubled man. "He came close to the brass ring but never quite grabbed it," his son Whit wrote. "He was one of the great undiscovered conversationalists of our time. He challenged and stimulated me virtually every time we spoke, even in the midst of some patently godawful times. And, as a bonus, he was probably the funniest man I ever met." To which this admiring classmate and roommate can only say, "Amen." CHARLES G. BOLTE '41
1943

1949
PETER KONG-MING NEW died suddenly on December 30, 1985. A truly outstanding member of our class, Peter was the son of the late famous Shanghai physician Dr. New Wei-Sun, and the late distinguished feminist Dr. Y.T. Zee.
Born in Shanghai in 1928, he and his mother left for the United States during World War 11. He enrolled in Peddie Preparatory School from which he entered Dartmouth, graduating in 1948. Returning to China as an instructor in the Department of Public Health at the National Medical College of Shanghai, he came back to the United States in 1949 after the Communist takeover. He studied successively at the University of Chicago, the University of Vermont, the University of Missouri (from which he received an M.A. in 1953), the University of Michigan, and the University of Missouri (from which he received a Ph. D. in 1960). The many academic awards Peter received culminated in the presidency of the International Association of Applied Anthropology.
Over the years, Peter held academic positions at the Medical College of Shanghai, the University of Missouri, University of Pittsburgh, Tufts University, Boston University, Northeastern University, University of Toronto, Harvard University, and the University of South Florida. At the time of his death, he was professor and chairman of the department of sociology at the University of South Florida. Peter was an internationally recognized scholar.
While Peter's loyalty to his research is surely clear/ his loyalty to Dartmouth was equally unswerving. An early recipient of the 1949 Gold Pick Axe Award (for his participation in the Chinese "Barefoot Doctors" film), his heart was always at Dartmouth. A truly distinguished member of our class, he will be missed.
Peter is survived by his wife, Mary Sue Louie.
RUSSELL T. BLACKWOOD '49C. REED PARKER '49
One of the most loyal members of 1949, EDWIN CHARLES SCHUETZ, 59, died suddenly on December 22, 1985. Charlie came to Dartmouth from Wausa (Wis.) High School. He was a brother of Sigma Nu fraternity, played in the band, and was an avid skier. He majored in chemistry, graduating in 1949, after which he earned an M.B.A. at Northwestern University Graduate School of Business. After serving in the Army Medical Corps and working for the Marathon Corporation in Wisconsin, Charlie took a position in marketing research with Elrick and Lavidge in Chicago. In 1969 he was made vice president of that company, a post he held until his retirement in 1985.
In 1952 Charlie and Beatrice Newberry, a University of Michigan graduate, were married. They have three children: Julie (Dartmouth '76), Amy (Colby College '77), and Douglas (Stanford '81).
In Lake Forest, Ill., where Bea and Charlie spent most of their married life, Charlie was active in many community activities. He served as treasurer of his church and on the Board of Education of Lake Forest. He belonged to a number of organizations including the Lake Forest Club, Exmoor Country Club, and the North Shore Dartmouth Club. Charlie served the College and class in several capacities, including class secretary, reunion giving committee member, class agent, and regional class agent.
Charlie's unswerving loyalty, his zest for living, and his devotion to his family were extraordinary, and I, like so many, benefited much from our association. For me, Charlie will forever belong to the good years at Dartmouth, the first year in New Hampshire Hall, and later reunions in Middle Mass and elsewhere in the U.S. He will be missed.
The class extends its sympathy to his family, which includes Charlie's brother Dunbar '42 and his sister Mary, Vassar '42.
GEORGE F. DAY '49
1952
On March 22 the class lost a valued and beloved member when GEORGE ESTY READ succumbed to a heart attack. He had been outdoors on a blustery and cold winter evening. When he came in, he said that he felt unusually tired and, while resting, quietly passed away.
George came to Dartmouth from Richford, Vt. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. After graduation, George served in the army as a second lieutenant in Japan. After leaving the service in 1955, he joined Merrill Lynch and after their training program joined the Toledo office in 1957, where he remained until his death.
George worked for the College as an in- terviewer. He spent a good deal of his time camping and fishing with his family. For the past 15 years he had been involved in the hobby of model railroading and had attended many local and national meetings dealing with this interest. Indeed, he had attended one such meeting earlier on the day he died.
George is survived by his wife, Fredrica, and their children Peggy, Ellie, Marion, Nancy, and Jim. The class offers our heartfelt sympathy to them. We share their grief. ELY C. WAGSHUL '52
