1935

Arthur Robert Wertheim died of respiratory causes on January 5 in Long Island Hospital. He is survived by his wife, Martha, and brother Joel '54.

At the time of his death he was professor emeritus at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons and a consultant in medicine at Presbyterian Hospital. When he retired from active faculty duties a university commendation read: "Dr. Wertheim was renowned as a clinical teacher. On two occasions he received a Teacher of the Year Award from the P&S Club and in 1976 he received a Dean's Award for Outstanding Contributions to Teaching. Students from P&S and many other medical schools have sought out sub-internship experiences in order to work under his tutelage."

Arthur is remembered as a modest, quiet, and friendly undergraduate who had an intuitive understanding of the sciences, particularly the life sciences. When he spoke up in a science class it was with a quiet self assurance and an invariable accuracy—the professor who disagreed with him usually found it necessary to correct himself at the next session.

As a physician he wrote many important papers, beginning in 1947 with a study of cholesterol and atherosclerosis. But he is admired chiefly as an effective and attentive clinician and as an inspiring teacher who took a personal interest in his students. Many P&S graduates look back on their "rounds with Wertheim" as the most important part of their medical education. Jerome H.Spingarn 35

Richard Eustache Rondeau one of the College's all-time hockey greats and a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, died of a heart attack January 18 at his home in Dallas. He was 67.

A native of Woonsocket, R.I., Dick was a heralded high school hockey player at Mt. St. Charles Academy. He was signed by a Boston Bruins farm team, but Eddie Jeremiah persuaded him to come to Dartmouth. After a solid freshman season, Dick centered the famous line of Jack Riley, also a U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame member, and Bill Harrison, as Dartmouth was proclaimed national champion for 1941-42. The team won 21 games and lost two, with Rondeau leading the nation in scoring with 45 goals and 32 assists. .

Dartmouth went on to win 41 consecutive games over a four-year period. Dick captained the 1942-43 team and also served as coach when Jeremiah entered the navy in midseason. He was captain again in 1943- 44, and over his four-year, All-American, college career he scored 103 goals and 73 assists for an average of 4.4 points per game. In one contest against Middlebury, he scored 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points, a record which still stands.

Dick served as a first lieutenant in the Marine Corps and was a veteran of World War II and the Korean War. A broken neck in an accident in Guam precluded a professional hockey career. He was hockey coach at Providence College from 1952-56.

The Rondeaus moved to Texas in 1960, where Dick worked as sales engineer and district manager of several companies.

1948

Peter Allan Kenneth Owen of Fort Wayne, Ind., died February 1, 1988, at his Fort Wayne home following a stroke suffered five days earlier while walking to his office.

Pete grew up in Pottsville, Pa., where he graduated from high school in 1943. He joined the navy that December and first saw Dartmouth the following March as a V-12 officer candidate. In November 1944 he left Hanover for midshipman school at Harvard and saw active service at sea and at Great Lakes N.T.C. prior to his discharge in March 1946. That October Pete returned to Hanover and remained at Dartmouth until he received his M.C.S. at Tuck in 1950.

Pete's professional career centered on corporate finance, principally in St. Louis and Fort Wayne. He began with Touche Ross and subsequently was treasurer or financial vice president with three companies including Bowmar Instruments and Wolverine Industries. He formed a recruiting firm to serve the energy industry, but turned to financial consulting for various midwest enterprises, including the nationwide Agday radio program from Indianapolis.

Pete loved the outdoors and the mountains, shown by his active life with the DOC in Hanover and the summers spent in the back country of New England with Ross McKenny. He also spent time in the Tetons. He was a competent skier of the hills around Hanover and an excellent windsurfer on Indiana's lakes.

Peter is survived by his wife, Patricia, and son Gregory, and by two sisters.

Schach August Van Steenberg III of Clearwater, Fla., died of heart failure at his home on January 17.

1957

George Myro who died December 19, 1987, was a Ukrainian child of Stalin's purges, grew up in the midst of Nazi bestiality, and reached adulthood in American DP camps. No wonder he retreated into philosophy and personal privacy or that, out of deep gratitude to America, he joined the ROTC.

After serving at the Air Force Academy, George taught philosophy at the University of California-Berkeley.

George was at once friendly and distant, and always spontaneous: he flew to Germany to be best man in my wedding, yet kept hidden a brief marriage the previous year. Philosophy was George's passion—he once debated the proposition that everything at some temperature would turn yellow. Ideas playfully rolled around in his head, but he could get serious in ways that could intimidate an ordinary undergraduate. Once he didn't like a final exam, so wrote his own questions and answers. He aced it, of course, and most other things to which he turned his creative mind.

I observed George twice as a teacher. He was the cultivating professor in his philosophy class at the Air Force Academy but a true autocrat when instructing his mother in English. Each day she had to translate a Washington Post article. George published Rudiments of Logic, somehow an appropriate, possibly zany title for a work by one who attained scholarly stature after so much suffering.

E. Willis Brooks '57

Jean Timsit died in mid-1987 after a long struggle with lung cancer. Although professionally a manager of an import-export firm in his native Paris, Jean was foremost an intellectual.

He did graduate work at Wharton and NYU before earning a doctorate from a French university, but his passions throughout life were reading (often consuming a book in a day), music, and old cars. In addition to owning an outstanding music collection, Jean was a regular concertgoer.

When contacted for an Alumni Fund contribution soon after graduation, Jean wrote back that he was "still broke, but extremely grateful for the Dartmouth experience." E.W.B.
