Faculty

MARTIN L. LINDAHL, retired professor of economics at the College, died in Hanover on November 26. He was 84 and had taught at Dartmouth from 1931 to 1968. Among his courses were industrial organization, government regulation of business, and accounting. He served twice as chairman of the economics department.

Professor Lindahl, along with colleagues Harry Purdy and William Carter, authored a widely used textbook, Corporate Concentration and Public Policy, published by Prentice-Hall in 1942. Frequently he was a consultant in public utility rate cases in Vermont and New Hampshire, and he testified at hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission on proposed railroad merg ers.

Professor Lindahl also found time to serve his community, where he was pre- cinct commissioner and a member of the finance committee in Hanover for a dozen years. Since retirement he worked with SCORE, Service Corps of Retired Execu- tives, and was president of its local chapter from 1974-75. He is survived by his wife, Berta, two daughters, seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.

HENRY B. WILLIAMS died on November 26 at the age of 80. He was a professor emeritus of English and drama and had taught at the College for 41 years.

Henry's erudition, informality, and enthusiasm were legendary during the early years when productions were mounted in the difficult environs of Webster Hall and, especially, Robinson Hall; naturally they were even greater following the 1962 opening of Hopkins Center, with its vastly improved facilities. But whatever the venue, Henry brought his many talents to bear in teaching, in choosing and directing plays from an extraordinarily wide range of eras and styles, and in designing costumes and sets for many productions.

Among his productions, audiences applauded such varied authors as Aeschylus, Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan, Samuel Beckett. Then, following three visits to Japan during the sixties, he added a course in "Japanese Theater as Ritual Dance" to his curriculum.

During his career Prof. Williams published many articles, and after retirement he researched and wrote a history of theater at Dartmouth from its founding up to 1914. The history ran serially in the College's Library Bulletin and has just been published as a book. In recent years he also was a visiting lecturer at the University of Connecticut, Smith College, and Purdue. He was a member of many professional societies and during World War II served in the U.S. Army Civil Engineers, attaining the rank of captain.

Henry is survived by his wife, Rebecca, of Hanover, and by a niece and nephew. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Williams-Watson Theatre Collection of Baker Library.

GEORGE EATON DANIELS died on August 11 after a long and distinguished career in medicine. George came to Dartmouth from Fitchburg, Mass., was a member of Alpha Kappa Kappa, and won a "D" in crosscountry and track. Following graduation, and relatively brief service in the army, he attended Harvard Medical School, obtaining his M.D. in 1922.

His chosen specialty was psychiatry. In 1936 he joined the teaching staff at Columbia University, where he was a clinical professor of psychiatry and subsequently director of Columbia's Psychoanalytic Clinic for Training and Research. During his career Dr. Daniels published many papers and articles on his chosen field, while also continuing an active private practice. Following his retirement from teaching in 1961 he maintained his practice.

1921

PERRY EDWARD JOSLIN died last May 6 in South Lydeboro, N.H., where he was born and had lived most of his life. All of my memories of Perry are happy ones, even though he had dropped out of college after our junior year. He returned two years later and graduated with the class of 1923. He and Louise had three children: Marilyn, a graduate of Smith; Cathryn, an alumna of Syracuse; and Perry Edwin of Worcester Polytech. An uncle, Perry E. Joslin, was an 1894 graduate of the Medical School.

The obituary in the Milford, N.H., weekly paid tribute to Perry and listed the many organizations to which he had belonged. He served his entire business life in the U.S. postal system. He was a Past Master of Clinton Lodge F. & A. Masons. Upon retirement in 1961 he and Louise owned and operated the Joslin Hardware Company of nearby Wilton. He was also the fee appraiser of real estate for the Veterans Administration.

Although not active in alumni affairs, Perry was a loyal and generous supporter of the College, typifying the solid citizen that has made New England the virtual birthplace of America.

He then became employed by Canadian International Paper Company, with headquarters in Montreal, but commuted to Calais, Vt., weekends until his retirement in 1968.

He belonged to a variety of forestry groups as well as the American Statistical Association, the Operations Research Society of America, and the American Society for Quality Control. In Calais he was active in civic affairs, particularly with reference to the public schools, historical societies, and historic preservation.

He later joined the faculty of Sarah Lawrence College, where he remained for 38 years, teaching and writing on his favorite subject of mythology, dealing with the legends and myths of the American Indian and other primitives, both oriental and occidental.

During this period he worked on the operation and reorganization of the 70-yearold water system, which included a study of water purification systems, costs, and rates—and the implementation of the same under a bond issue.

A Buffalo native, Bud entered Dartmouth from Bennett High School. He was a premed major, a member of Alpha Delta Phi, Dragon, and the freshman football team.

After graduation Bud spent a brief time in the New York financial district before deciding to pursue a medical career at University of Buffalo Medical School. He served five years in the Army Air Force as a flight surgeon in the Pacific before retiring as a lieutenent colonel.

In Buffalo, Bud was a very busy and popular obstetrician and gynecologist. He was associated with the leading hospitals, was a past president of the Buffalo Academy of Medicine, and of the Buffalo Gynecology and Obstetric Society. He was also a clinical professor at University of Buffalo Medical School and a member of the American College of Surgeons.

Much to his credit Bud was known as a physician who took younger doctors into his practice to train them and help launch them on their own.

Bud was a member of the Buffalo Club, the Buffalo Athletic Club, the Buffalo Canoe Club, and the Rolls-Royce Owners Club of America. An enthusiastic collector of antique cars, Bud took particular delight in touring in his 1928 Rolls-Royce roadster.

Our sympathy goes to his wife, Gladys, daughter Kathryn, son Robert, and two grandsons.

H. DAVID WARNER died September 19 at his home in Edina, Minn., from bone marrow cancer.

Following World War II service in the U.S. Marine Corps, Dave had a career in insurance for 38 years with the Prudential Insurance Company. He became a Chartered Life Underwriter in 1965 and retired in 1982.

As reported in the Minneapolis Star andTribune, Dave was involved with the Boy Scouts throughout his life, played tennis avidly, and loved the outdoors. He belonged to Ducks Unlimited and International Gyro, the latter being a fraternal organization in which on the day he died Dave was to begin a term as district governor or Minnesota, Ontario, and Manitoba.

Dave married Joan Erdall in 1942 to form a union that led to six sons and six grandchildren who survive him. Relatives in the Dartmouth family are three other Warners, his brother Tom '50, and cousins John and Maurice of the class of 1941.

1942

JOSEPH CORNWALL PALAMOUNTAIN JR., former president of Skidmore College, died in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., on November 23 of an apparent heart attack.

Joe came to Dartmouth from Lebanon, N.H., and by graduation in 1942 he had achieved a remarkable recordnamely, Green Key, Alpha Delt, Palaeopitus, C & G, Senior Fellow, Phi Beta Kappa, editor-inchief of the DailyDartmouth, and a member of the board of the Dartmouth Broadcasting System. Following graduation Joe entered the navy. He was released in 1946 with the rank of lieutenant commander. He then attended Harvard and earned his M.A. in 1948 and his Ph.D. in 1951. Following a brief period as an assistant professor of government at Harvard, he became associate professor of government at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., in 1955. In 1961 he was named Wesleyan's provost, a title he held until July 1, 1965, when he became Skidmore's fourth president. In this position he inherited an antiquated campus on the verge of bankruptcy, and when he retired last May it was from .a brand-new 650-acre campus with an increased enrollment, a coed student body, and a respectable endowment. One of his colleagues recently stated: "During his tenure as Skidmore's president he guided the college into the front ranks of quality liberal arts colleges. He was a towering figure in independent higher education."

Joe received honorary doctorates from Wesleyan, Dartmouth, Union, and Albany Medical College. In March of last year he was cited by the combined houses of the New York State legislature for his leadership in higher education. In May Skidmore awarded him an honorary doctor of laws.

His writings and board memberships were as prodigious as his contributions as Skidmore's president.

The class extends sympathy to his wife, Anne, and to their two sons, Bromley and Bruce. We have lost a good friend, and the College has lost a distinguished son.

1948

His many friends marked with sadness the unexpected passing on November 28,1986, of LEE MAXWELL GOLD in New York's Mount Sinai Hospital after a fatal attack of chronic lymphacetic leukemia.

Bud grew up in Paterson, N.J., where he attended Newark Academy. He arrived in Hanover in March, 1944, during World War II in the small initial civilian contingent of the class of 1948. Although his eyesight caused rejection of his enlistment, he continually expected to be drafted, which led to the completion of his degree work in only three years and his graduation in 1947.

As an undergrad Bud earned a varsity "D" as dashman on Coach Ellie Noyes's track team, joined Pi Lambda Phi when fraternities reopened after the war in the spring of 1946.

Bud entered the drapery and fabrics business in New York from his home in New Jersey in late 1947, then founded his own manufacturing firm with a partner, only to be drafted into the army during the Korean conflict in 1950 where he remained for three years, this in spite of his terrible eyesight.

Bud's marriage in 1955 begat four children, but the marriage was dissolved by divorce in 1975. In the meantime he entered the brokerage business in Manhattan where he spent the final 29 years of his life, first with Hirsch & Co., then with Josephthal as a senior account executive. He worked almost literally to the day of his death, admired by his associates as a private person possessed of a fine sense of humor.
