JOHN CLINTON ADAMS, Dartmouth history professor emeritus, died on May 16 in Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital at the age of 76.

He was born in Philadelphia in 1909. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1931, and received his M.A. and Ph.D in modern European diplomatic history from Duke University in 1933 and 1936. He studied in Europe and the Balkans, and then worked as an instructor of history at Princeton University. He joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1941 and was made full professor of history in 1947; he went on to serve as chairman of that department for four years. In 1942 he published Flight inWinter, a history of the Siberian retreat in World War I. He was an expert on Balkan and Russian history, and he also served on the staff of the international relations major. He retired in 1974 to pursue other interests, including mathematics and philosophy.

He served with the U.S. Army in World War II from 1941 to 1945, in military intelligence in Washington and in signal intelligence in Europe. A decorated war hero, he was awarded the Bronze Star and one battle star and was discharged with the rank of major.

He is survived by his wife, the former Melanie Parke Updegraff of Lyme; a daughter, Melanie Adams Cash of Lebanon; a sister, Mrs. Karl E. Zener of Durham, N.C., and two grandsons.

CARL LOUIS WlLSON,professor of Botany Emeritus, died in Hanover on March 7 at the age of 88. When he retired in 1963, he had taught at Dartmouth for 39 years and was known to thousands of Dartmouth men who had elected his elementary botany course in meeting the College's science requirement. In his retirement years he remained active in his field and at the time of his death was serving as curator of the Jesup Herbarium.

A native of Springfield, Ohio, Professor Wilson graduated from the University of Denver in 1919 and then took his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees at Cornell, where he was instructor in botany before coming to Dartmouth in 1924. He was one of the College's most popular and effective teachers and rose to a full professorship in 1935, at which time he received Dartmouth's honorary faculty M.A. degree.

Professor Wilson was the author of the textbook Botany (1952) which was widely used by colleges throughout the country. With Walter Loomis as co-author a revised edition appeared in 1957 and a third in 1962. Professor Wilson was department chairman several times during his career, served on the committee advisory to the President, and on committees dealing with the Senior fellows, the Museum, faculty research, and administration of the curriculum, which he headed. He was a prominent member of the Botanical Society of American, for which he was Northeastern regional president and chairman of the committee on botanical teaching. He also was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Professor Wilson was married in 1923 to Ellen Margaret Sands, who died in 1985. They had one daughter, Margaret, who survives them.

1903

HOWARD LEON ROPES', 104, died on March 8, in Watertown, N.Y., just short of his 105 th birthday.

At Dartmouth, he majored in engineering and received the civil engineering degree from the Thayer School of Engineering in 1904.

After leaving Thayer School, he moved to Watertown and became an engineer for the New York Cen- tral Railroad. He left the railroad in 1906 to join Black River Traction Company, but he returned in 1910 and remained with the railroad until 1916 when he began a wood mill operation. He remained with the mill after it was taken over by the Sherman Paper Company but resigned to become general foreman with the Jefferson County Highway Department in 1935. He retired in 1943 as chief engineer.

He was a 75-year member of the watertown Lodge 49, F&AM, and the Lincoln League.

Thayer School continued to hold a special place in his heart throughout his life, and, in 1983, he wrote to reflect on its growth from a school culminating in one degree, and still under the leadership of its first director, Robert Fletcher, while he was here, saying, "to the present Thayer School, wellhoused, teaching everything pertaining to engineering and awarding the full list of degrees."

In 1982, in honor of his status as the "most senior" Dartmouth alumnus, he re- ceived from President McLaughlin a replica of the key to the original Dartmouth Hall. In thanks, he wrote that the key "triggers my memory of its burning, as to paraphrase Kilroy, 'I was there.' "

At Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and in the band. He never married and left no living relatives.

Following the war he went back to work for the Bethlehem Steel Corrporation, with which he stayed for most of his business career. From 1940 to 1951 he was their district sales manager for the Cincinnati area, and then the Chicago area, until his retirement in 1961.

He served Dartmouth and his class as the chairman of the bequest and estate planning committee, as a member of the class executive committee, as a solicitor for the Alumni Fund, and as president of the Dartmouth Club of Dayton (1931 to 1932).

1918

THOMAS BRACKETT REED BRYANT was a 26, 1895, in Waterville, Maine, the next to the youngest in a family of nine, he learned early the tough tenets of a New England environment. Desiring not to be yoked to the college where his siblings had attended, he struck out for Hanover and Dartmouth College, working his way through by waiting on tables. In 1917 Tom was in France keeping the lines of communication open as a sergeant in the Signal Corps and a member of the "Dartmouth Battalion."

After a brief stint as a book salesman in Boston, he joined forces with his cousin in New York and became a partner in his teacher's placement agency. The Depression came and Tom, now married and with a child, moved to Philadelphia and eventually settled in Lansdowne.

Tom was a giver. If he had a creed, it would have read, "Family, Community, and College." In 1975, finding himself a widower for the third time, he moved to Kendal, the retirement community near Longwood Gardens. Here he began a truly rich life, becoming a vital force in the community. He was a true patriarch. My brother and myself as well as all of our children looked upon him as a counselor, the keeper of memories, and the possessor of a keen, fresh mind. From the advent of the "horseless carriage" to the coming of the space shuttle, Dad had a long, productive, and remarkable life.

He died on June 13. He is survived by a sister, a son, and a daughter, eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

Surviving are a son, John E. Berry Jr. of Cincinnati; a daughter, Mrs. Robert Mc- Dougal of Springvale, Maine; eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

1921

On April 17 STANLEY DONALD LAWRENCE returned a most interesting questionnaire for our 65th reunion directory. It was an embarrassing duty to tell "Jeff" that the copy had arrived too late to be included in the first edition, but that we were all waiting with open arms to greet him in Hanover. With typical understanding Jeff replied that he would gladly await a second printing. In the same note Jeff repeated his intention of being with us, even though his health would permit him only to drive up for Saturday. Just five weeks later word reached us that Jeff had died at the Norwell, Mass., home of his daughter-in-law, Maxine, widow of Stanley Jr.

Blessed with an abundance of enthusiasm Jeff began his first business experience with the Brain tree Electric Light Company. When World War II came he joined the Fore River Shipyards, a position that eventually led to a position with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, not retiring until 1978. It was then that Jeff established a home in Mt. Vernon, N.H. After the death of Fran, his wife of 62 years, he moved to Norwell.

Jeff is survived by daughter Mary (Wellesley '47) and her five children. There are also three Lawrence grandsons in Maxine's family. We hope that each of them has inherited Jeff's zest for living that enlivened not only our official class reunions in Hanover, but also those marvelous mini-reunions that were staged each summer for the classes of 1920 and 1921 by Martha and Bob Burroughs at their Canterbury farm.

While at Dartmouth, George was on the gym team for three years and was captain in his senior year. He was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity.

Following Dartmouth, he attended Yale Medical School and continued his practice and study to become one of the preeminent gynecologists of the country.

He was a member of the St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Gladwynne, Pa.

For Dartmouth, he served as president of the Philadelphia Alumni Association, as a class agent, and as an interviewer for the admissions office.

Somehow, George found time to become a member of power squadron, to indulge in his favorite hobby of dog training and handling, to become certified with a "Z" card as an able seaman in the U.S. Coast Guard, and to hold memberships in various sportsmen's clubs.

George and Anna produced five children: Cynthia, twins Anne and Elizabeth, Doretta, and Dr. George A. Hahn Jr. All five children earned graduate degrees, carrying on with the same scholastic zeal as George, with, no doubt, an equal contribution from Anna.

Our class extends its sympathy to his family and joins in honoring one of our finest, whose life made a difference.

His field was research in Hellenism. Having been born in Greece, he obviously inherited a real love for his country. Messenias, where he lived, is the south- western cape at the edge of the lonian Sea. It must be a beautiful place.

He came to College from high school in Lowell, Mass., after which he attended University of New Hampshire for one year before coming to Hanover.

We were glad to have Larry and his wife, Trudy, return for the 50th last June, and they both had a very happy time. It appeared that the Hood Museum was their greatest joy. They were emotionally touched by this great new building. We saw and heard their reactions and Larry's quiet, shy reference to his own recent efforts at painting. It was a touching, memorable moment.

To his wife and five children, including son David Lawrence Duclos '58, the class sends their profound sympathy. We can only try to appreciate their loss.

Daily Herald, he joined the Associated Press in 1943 as night editor of the photography department in the Boston bureau, becoming head of that section a few years later.

JOHN R. SCOTFORD JR.

RALPH JOHN HOSSMAN died May 26 in Holyoke, Mass. He joined our class from Somerville High School and lived in College Hall our freshman year, thereafter in New Hampshire Hall. An English major, he joined The Boston Herald as a reporter after graduation. After military service in World War II he returned briefly to the Herald. Then, seeking a career that would bring him closer to people, he took a year's leave from the paper to try teaching. Within a week he knew he had found his life's calling and taught for several years at Phillips-Exeter. In 1950 he joined the faculty at Perkiomen School in Pennsburg, Pa., and began an association rich in rewards for the students, the school, and for himself.

He was an enrollment worker for Dartmouth and a generous donor to the College and to its undergraduate scholarship program. His wife, Isabelle Taylor, predeceased him. He leaves a stepdaughter, Isabelle A. Haight of Blandford, Mass., and a stepson, Douglas C. Adie of Pensacola, Fla.

At the time of his retirement in 1985 from his position as headmaster, the Perkiomen senior class dedicated their yearbook to him, saying, in part, "As Senior Honors English teacher, he has established a reputation of making students work hard to achieve respectable grades and to take special pride in their work. This is a unique credit to someone who leaves such a lasting impression . . . He will be greatly missed by faculty, students, and alumni."

And we will miss Ralph, who brought such honor to our class. He found what he enjoyed doing most, and he did it superbly, J.S.

ROBERT EDWARD LANG died at his home in Ely, Vt., on June 3 of cancer. Bob came to Dartmouth from Perry High School in Pittsburgh, Pa. An economics major, Bob was active in the Glee Club and Players, Palaeopitus, Phi Delta Theta, and Council on Student Organizations.

After graduation he became manager of COSO. During World War II he served with the OSS in Europe, North Africa, and China.

Then after a brief stint in advertising, at the invitation of the government, he organized Radio Free Europe and directed its operation during the early fifties. It was a controversial task and led to a temporary resignation over the service's role in covering the Hungarian Revolution. A special assignment of several years in Istanbul followed his return. His final resignation came in 1956 when he joined CBS and rose to become vice president of CBS News. Several years later he switched to ABC and served as vice president of their News Service. In 1963 the Lang family moved overseas, first to Portugal, then to England, where Bob worked as creative director for Time-Life Films. He capped his professional career by founding CXL Communications, the firm which marketed the Extel Teleprinter.

Upon retirement he achieved the goal of many Dartmouth men when he returned to live in the Upper Valley and lent his considerable talents and experience to the building of the New Hampshire Youth Orchestra.

He leaves his wife, Muriel, and six children: Robert '69, Richardson, William, Ana Louise, Timothy '81, and Dana. He also leaves his brother, William H. Lang '33, and two grandchildren. He also leaves an indelible mark on the broadcast news industry and a gap in our lives. J.S.

After leaving Hanover, Eliot went on to MIT and earned a degree in industrial management. World War II interrupted a budding career while he served three years in the navy as a lieutenant.

Most of his business life was spent in the automotive industry, although from 1947 until 1952 he was employed by the Carborundum Company. He worked with Ford Motor Company from 1952 until 1965 and then with Chrysler until retirement in 1976.

Eliot had a strong loyalty to Dartmouth as well as a strong legacy. His late brother, Ben, was a classmate, and three uncles preceded him at Dartmouth, Wendell Williams 1888, Buston Williams 1890, and Eben Williams 1892. He has been an active class agent over the years as well as a consistent contributor to the fund for 47 consecutive years.

He is survived by his wife, Bette; and three daughters from a previous marriage, Nancy, Deborah, and Robin.

1947

It is with sadness that we report the passing of JAMES THOMAS BIGGIE, '47 on May 26 at his home in Rosemont, Pa., at age 61. Jim was born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y., and was in the Marine Corps unit at Dartmouth as a freshman. He served on active duty with the Marines and was a 1947 graduate of the College. He also received his LL.B. degree from the University of Buffalo in 1955.

Jim married Carmelita Fisher, who survives him; and they had a son, Mark; and daughters, Carmelita, Amelia, Amanda, and Sara; and he now leaves nine grandchildren.

Jim worked with Coyne Laundries until 1962, then joined Penn Emblem as director of sales, and later became executive vice president, and then director in 1975. For the Institute of Industrial Launderers Association, Jim served as commissioner and as marketing and educational commission chairman.

At Dartmouth, Jim was a member of the football team and captain of baseball. He was active in sports and devoted to his family.

Who of us will forget his singing on entertainment nights, many times on popular demand, "You'll Never Walk Alone"? We believe you, Jim.

1948

WILLIAM DAVID PETTIT, passed away suddenly due to heart failure in a Columbus, Ohio, hospital on June 17, 1985.

Bill and identical twin brother John were born in Columbus in 1926. Both graduated from North High School there and enlisted in the navy in 1943 whence they both were sent to Yale in the V-12 program. The brothers parted when Bill was transferred to Dartmouth, staying in Hanover until November. 1944, when he was sent to Midshipman School at Notre Dame. In the summer of 1945 Bill was awarded his commission as ensign and served in subchasers in the Atlantic until his honorable discharge in June 1946. He returned to Hanover for the fall semester that year.

Bill was active at Dartmouth, earning his letter in swimming as a sprinter for two of Coach Carl Michael's good teams. He was very active in the Outing Club. On his last trip north he returned to the campus just in time for Class Day and graduation when he was awarded his bachelor's degree in June 1948.

From Hanover Bill went to Conneaut, Ohio, for a few months in an architect's office before returning to Columbus, where he formed his own company, W.D. Pettit, a construction contractor.

One of Bill's passions was flying. During his life he owned about a dozen planes, was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association, and was licensed for multi-en- gined craft. He also interviewed for Dartmouth throughout his life and served as president of the Dartmouth Club of Central Ohio.

He is survived by his many friends and by his 90-year-old mother, Mrs. Gypsy Belle Pettit of Columbus, by brother John, by his two sisters, and by his three children. Bill's classmates' hearts go out to all these.

1950

The College lost a loyal son who loved her. Our class no longer has a devoted servant. And a good friend is gone. SIMONJOSEPH MORAND 111 died May 29, reportedly after a two-year bout with cancer.

Si was born May 22, 1925, in Wilmette, I11., and lived there all of his life with time out for the U.S. Army (World War II) and Dartmouth. He attended New Trier High School from 1939 to 1943 and served in the U. S. Army Air Corps from August 1942 until March 1946, rising to technical sergeant.

When he arrived in Hanover, Si roomed with John O'Keefe and Jack Fallon in Tophiff. He joined Theta Delta Chi in his sophomore year and was an active, ardent brother in the fraternity.

In 1957 Si was honored as Class Treasurer of the Year. The citation noted that he "entered the fray with the youthful zest and enthusiasm of a David against Goliath . . . You are a hard-working, cooperative, and indispensable part of an unusually fine team of class officers."

Si was class treasurer as an undergrad and served in that capacity until 1965. He was also club treasurer in Chicago from 1958 to 1960 and gave of himself in numerous community and business activities, such as the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Chapin Hall for Children, and St. Vincent de Paul Society. He was a member of the Bond Club of Chicago, Street Club (former president), and University Club of Chicago.

His mother, Mrs. Margaret K. Morand, survives. His father, Laurence T. '23, and his uncle Simon J. '27, are deceased.

It was a blessing to have Si as a friend, brother, and classmate.

One of God's great gifts to a person is the ability to inspire laughter. In that respect Providence smiled on PETER BALL SHAFFER, class of 1950.

"The funniest man I've ever known who doesn't make his living at it," one friend described him. Many of you will.remember the radio program on DBS in which Pete and Park Taylor held forth as the undergraduate version of Bob and Ray.

Pete was a Phi Psi and regular celebrant with the Friday Night Fryers who met each Friday night at the Phi Psi house to engage in good fellowship. Pete showed up one night with a rubber sink stopper chained to his belt. With his typical wry smile he explained that he'd been having an attack of diarrhea.

Peter and I lived together during a very trying time in our respective lives. We'd been neighbors in Connecticut, and when we both decided to divorce our wives, we moved into New York together. We were the Odd Couple in a 12-by-20 foot apartment above a delicatessen.

"Just like home," Shaffer said. "The cockroaches are as big as our kids."

Pete knew we had to laugh to keep from crying, so he kept us laughing for the year and a half we lived together.

Pete was born in New York City and went to Irwin High School in Greenwich Village. "I'm the only guy who ever got into Dartmouth from an unaccredited high school," he said. That didn't prevent his becoming vice president, sales manager of Raymond Bag Company, for which he worked for 20 years.

On June 4 Peter Ball Shaffer died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Mattapoisett, Mass. He leaves his second wife, Ginger, and five children.

Pete, you made us laugh a lot. Now we will cry a little.

CHARLIE BLAKEMORE '52

1956

On June 11 our class and Dartmouth lost a dear friend, JOHN PAUL DI IORIO. He was first and foremost a family man and friend. His zest for life was incredible, helping us move outside our "comfort zones" and experience rare moments of fun and frolic.

His chosen profession, banking, allowed him to use his creative talents and his insatiable love for people. John rose to senior vice president at the Bank of Boston. Many businesses today flourish because of John's faith and support. Where some have tried, John succeeded in pursuing "man's humanity to man."

The Big Green meant everything to John. Whether it was at the bonfire every fall, leading the band on to the field at a Dartmouth-Harvard game, or sharing his children's college years in Hanover, he lived and breathed Dartmouth. One of the proudest moments of his life was his son Mark's wedding, held at Dartmouth in July 1980.

When we think of John and his Dartmouth family, we think of John and Paula, his wife of almost 30 years. She made those years from 1952 to present very special. In addition to Paula, John's family includes Mark and his wife, Priscilla Eaton, both class of 1980, Debra, class of 1982, Jay, and Lisa.

Memorial donations can be sent to the John P. Di Iorio Scholarship, care of Dave Eckels, at the College.

There is a philosophy that states, "When a man dies what he has done for others is his true legacy." What a legacy John has left us all.

With John, "Snake," as some called him, there are no good-byes. We will forever retell those great memories of our life and times with this special guy. There are no good-byes, just so long for awhile.

RICHARD A. MARSH '56

1957

JAMES WARNER MCDOWELL died on May 15 after a short illness of four months.

Jim was a pre-med major at Dartmouth whose hard work and high intelligence earned him admission to the Dartmouth Medical School. He obtained his medical degree from Harvard in 1963 and completed his internship in Rhode Island. In 1976, he joined the navy and served in Vietnam as a lieutenant commander.

For awhile in the 1970s he was a medical school instructor in his specialty of cardiology at leading medical schools including Tufts, Harvard, and the University of Rochester. He was active in a number of professional associations, including the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American College of Cardiology, and the Pawtucket Medical Association. At the time of his death he was a practicing physician in cardiology at the Memorial Hospital in Rhode Island and a teacher at Brown's Medical School.

He is survived by his wife, Pauline, and two children, James Christopher and Katherine Elizabeth McDowell.

On April 15 CHARLES WILLIAM SPROTT died suddenly of a heart attack in Atlanta, Ga. Charley was raised in Stoneham, Mass. While at Dartmouth he was a history major, a member of Phi Gamma Delta, and a leading member of the hockey team. He cap- tained the team during the 1956-1957 season. Following graduation he entered the Marine Corps where, in his own words, he scared himself as a helicopter pilot for five years.

After the service he began a lifetime career with United Parcel Service. Although he lived in sunny Atlanta, somehow he found local hockey programs to support. At the time of his death, he was in charge of labor relations for United Parcel Service in the southeast region.

He is survived by wife, Carol "Donnie," and four grown children: Nancy, Kevin, David and Jeffrey. A group of his friends are proposing gifts to the Dartmouth Hockey Program as a memorial to a very genial classmate.

1959

LLOYD HENRY RELIN died suddenly on May 21 in Rochester, N.Y. A leading bankruptcy lawyer in Rochester, he was a member of the firm of Relin and Goldstein.

Lloyd graduated from Dartmouth cumlaude, with High Honors in English. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and of Delta Upsilon fraternity (which he served as corresponding secretary). He graduated from Yale Law School in 1962.

Lloyd was a member of the American, New York State, and Monroe County Bar Associations, the American Trial Lawyers Association, and the Commercial Law League of America. He was a leading authority on bankruptcy law and wrote and spoke extensively on the subject. He served as a trustee in bankruptcy for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York. He won a unanimous decision from the United States Supreme Court in the case of U.S. v. Whiting Pools, Inc. He was listed in Who's Who of American Law. Lloyd was also a member of the Dartmouth Club of Rochester, the Knights of Pythias, the Genessee Valley Civil Liberties Union, and the Jewish Community Council of Rochester.

He is survived by his wife, Marjorie (Cohen), and his children, David, Rachel and Jennifer.

KARL B. HOLTZSCHUE '59

1963

JACQUES CHEROZEZ SHURE died May 18 in Houston, Tex., after complications following surgery to correct a heart problem. Jacques and I were friends since our first week at Dartmouth, and were partners in Financial Foundation, Inc., our commercial mortgage banking and development business, since 1974. Jacques was a very special person who had an inexhaustible capacity for helping others; a friend s problem became Jacques' problem until it was resolved.

It should be no surprise then that more than 400 mourners attended Jacques' funeral in his hometown, Syracuse, N.,Y., and another 400 attended his memorial service in Houston.

Certainly his coaches and teachers in attendance remembered his glory days at Nottingham High School in Syracuse, where he lettered in football, basketball, and baseball, and quarterbacked his football team to their first championship season.

We from Dartmouth will remember that Jacques majored in religion and was a member of Tabard and Sphinx. He played varsity baseball three years and was elected to the 1963 ail-American Team. After graduating, he earned his M.B.A. from Syracuse University. He served the Dartmouth he loved by actively participating in the Third Century Fund and devoting time to the Dartmouth interviewing committee for more than 15 years.

After moving to Houston in 1974, Jacques filled the needs surrounding him. He coached his daughters, Debbie and Amy, in soccer and softball. He and his wife, Mitzi, founded and built a Montessori school and chaired the long-range planning, building, and fund-raising committees for a new synagogue north of Houston.

Surviving are his wife, the former Mitzi Miron; two daughters, Deborah Jane and Amy Rebecca, both at home; his parents, Florence and Harold Shure of Lake Worth, Fla.; a sister, Therese Zagin of Syracuse; four brothers, Ben Choroser of Syracuse, and Bernie Caron, Sie, and Joe Choroser, all of California.

HENRY W. JENCKES '63

1967

WILLARD ROY LENZ JR. passed away on January 17 after a lingering illness which he fought courageously for many years.

Bill was raised in Grosse Pointe, Mich., and came to Dartmouth with several friends from Grosse Pointe High School. During his freshman year, he developed close friendships with many special people who were his dormmates in Russell Sage. Bill was active in crew, and spent a great deal of time enjoying the beauty of the Connecticut River. Bill was a lover of jazz and a drummer and played with the Renegades in the mid '6os.

Illness forced him to leave Dartmouth, a place that was very special to him, early in his junior year. He received a B.S. and an M.S. from Wayne State University in analytical chemistry. After completing his education, he worked in the pharmaceutical industry, spending his last 10 years with Abbott Laboratories. In 1976 he married the former Sue Smedley. Bill's lifelong love of nature kept him an active sailor, and he loved working with his hands at his cottage in the woods on Lake Huron. His love of the poetry of Robert Frost was a natural extension of this. His was a warm, gentle and loving spirit, and he will be much missed by those who knew him. Bill and Sue have a daughter, Katie, and Bill is survived by his stepdaughters, Jackie and Lisa, his sister, Nancy Bedel, and his parents, Dr. Willard and Mrs. Loraine Lenz.

CORY ADEN WANSBURY

ROBERT ARTHUR MCNALLY passed away on October 19, 1985 after suffering a massive stroke, from which he never regained consciousness, bringing to an end a life which had been a dreadful struggle for him for nearly 20 years.

Bob came to Dartmouth from Freeport, Long Island, where he had graduated from Baldwin Senior High School with a National Merit Letter of Commendation and a letter in lacrosse. Health problems first forced Bob to leave the College in 1964, and as a consequence, his graduation was delayed until 1969.

As Bob's freshman classmates, we extend our deepest sympathies to his family.

1972

RONALD COY MCGEE died at his home in Hancock, N.H., on September 20, 1984.

Ron was born in South Bend, Ind., and graduated from high school in Plainview, N. Y. As a freshman at Dartmouth, he earned his numerals and a reputation for dependability as goalie on the lacrosse team. The deterioration of his health prevented his full participation in sports after freshman year, but Ron quietly turned to other pursuits without bitterness. He was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity and was an accomplished bass guitar player, wellknown on campus for his participation in jam sessions.

As a visual arts major, Ron produced several outstanding design projects which were well-received in exhibits at Hopkins Center. After graduation, Ron worked in the Boston area and attended graduate courses in visual arts at Harvard. Although his career as an artist was cut short by failing eyesight, he remained active in family, school and community activities in the Boston area. A few years before his death, he moved to Hancock, where he lived on a farm with his wife, Lisa, and son, Jonathan. In addition to his wife and son, his survivors include his parents, Coy and Eulalia McGee of Gaithersburg, Md., and two brothers and a sister. The class belatedly extends its most heartfelt sympathy to the family.

1979

St. Paul's Cathedral in Burlington, Vt., was filled when people came from every part of the state to celebrate the life of MOR-RIS IRA BLOCK, and to mourn his death in a boating accident on June 21. That appalling event cut short not only a brilliant career but also a life of really exceptional beauty and grace.

No one who knew his work at Dartmouth could have been surprised at his success: the energy and resourcefulness he brought to managing the DSO, his leadership in the founding of the Dartmouth Chamber Players, the affection and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him well, his unique status as the only person ever to win two Marcus Heiman Awards for Achievement in the Arts all made one aware of his potential.

He came to Dartmouth from Phillips Exeter to major in Russian, with the intention of becoming a pediatrician. He left after graduating, cum laude, in three years as an experienced arts administrator who immediately found employment as the manager of the Sea Cliff Chamber Players in Long Island; three years later he was appointed manager of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. There his dynamic leadership, with Maestro Efrain Guigui, completely revitalized the Orchestra. Morris had accepted, just days before his death, a new appointment, as the founding director of the Vermont Community Foundation.

His death is indeed a tragedy: I had long since realized that he had accomplished too much to make sense of my old hope that he would one day become the director of the Hopkins Center, but now the hope that succeeded it that he would be appointed, in a decade or so, president of this College he loved so well has died as well. PETER SMITH

1980

KATHARINE BRADFORD CAMPBELL of Sierra Madre, Calif., died May 17 of cancer.

I can't imagine what my life at Dartmouth would have been like if Katharine and I hadn't ended up in Woodward together freshman year. Her contagious laugh is in the middle of my happiest Dartmouth memories hanging out at Collis, rollerskating at UCSD and sunning at Woodward beach.

Katharine took so much joy and pride in Dartmouth. In fact, the only time I heard her complain about her illness was when it kept her from attending our fifth reunion, for which she'd designed the logo and slogan. Katharine wanted to attend Dartmouth, her father's school, from the moment she first saw it. She threw herself into all that Dartmouth had to give into Kappa Kappa Gamma, into her job at Collis, into her English classes, and into her friendships.

After graduation, Katharine went home to California, where she first worked in personnel for a large department store. She then moved on to use her creative talents as a buyer/salesperson/jack-of-all-trades at a small clothing store. She worked throughout her illness, along with doing volunteer work with senior citizens.

Her strong religious faith helped Katharine face cancer with the same mix of determination, curiosity, and optimism with which she faced her most challenging courses at Dartmouth. She believed that her illness actually helped her to appreciate and rejoice in life more fully than she ever had before something which those of us who knew her at Dartmouth, and know how much she appreciated and rejoiced in her life there, might find hard to imagine.

Katharine had asked that donations in her memory might be made to Dartmouth's Alumni Fund.
