By 1955 he had moved his family and practice back to the Oranges. His interest in tropical diseases, prompted by his WW II experience, led to his going to the U. S. Public Health hospital in Carville, La., where leprosy (Hansen's disease) patients are treated. In 1974 his book, The Recognition of Hansen's Disease; AClinical Presentation, enabled U. S. medical students to study a disease rarely seen in this country. On the basis of this in 1984 he became a member of the People to People organization and with his wife joined 13 other dermatologists on a tour of medical schools and hospitals in the Far East.

Ben's commitment to medicine is reflected in the prestigious societies and academies to which he was elected. But even more compelling are the tributes which have poured into my mailbox since his death. The obituary in his local paper suggested contributions to the Dartmouth Class of 1938 Memorial Fund; these have come from his neighbors, his patients, and his fellow doctors.

Ben is survived by Mildred, his son Arlington III, and his daughter Marianne.

He continued playing football at Dartmouth, majored in sociology, and was a member of Sigma Chi. After graduation, he joined many other 'sls as an officer candidate at the Marine Corps training center in Quantico, Va. He served as a captain in the Korean conflict and was awarded a Bronze Star with Combat V for bravery in action.

His business career included positions with Congoleum Nairn; the Connecticut Mutual Insurance Cos.; Sequoia, Inc.; and the Kaswell & Cos., Inc.

Donald Pierce Taylor died on June 11, 1988. Don was an internationally known nematologist (plant pathology), with a fascinating career that took him from a master's degree at the University of Maryland to a full professorship at the University of Illinois and then to American University of Beirut. He then worked with various non-profit organizations in Kenya and Senegal. In 1979, he began an import business, now carried on by his son, Robert. Don was a member of several professional organizations, national and international.

His wife, Carol, writes that Dartmouth has a special place in her heart, for she and Don .were married on Winter Carnival weekend of freshman year and lived in Wigwam. Their first child, Donald Jr., was born there and they used space heaters to survive the wind that whistled through the walls of the old naval barracks.

Kendall Eugene Bailes died March 28, 1987, after a long illness. Ken came to Dartmouth as an Alfred P. Sloan Scholar from Shawnee Mission High School. By the time he entered college he had already sold two essays to American Heritage. As a sophomore Ken won the Eugene F. Saxton Memorial Trust Fellowship, established by Harper and Brothers to support promising writers, and Ken took a year off to write a biography of James Lane, a Kansas political leader.

After Dartmouth Ken entered the graduate program in history at Columbia University, eventually winning his doctorate in 1971. Following a year at Kansas State University, he was appointed assistant professor of history at the University of California at Irvine in 1971, eventually rising to full professor and dean of humanities.

His tenure at Irvine was marked by chairmanship of several important committees, and major publications on Soviet science and technology, including Technology andSociety under Lenin and Stalin, which won the American Historical ssociation's Adams Prize as the best book of the year in European History.

In 1987, after an international search, Ken was named professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. After two terms of teaching he became incurably ill, and until his death devoted himself to the completion of his second book on Soviet science, Science and Culture in an Age of Revolutions: Vladimir Vernadsky and his Circle, which the Indiana University Press will publish. This major work marks the fruition of a decade of research on the Soviet technical intelligentsia.

Ken's colleagues at Irvine and UCLA recall him with deep affection and sadness, emphasizing his courage in completing his manuscript while terminally ill. He is survived by his parents.

1963

Alan V. Davies president of the J. Clarence Davies Realty Cos., Inc., New York, died of a heart attack, March 17, at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan.

Alan could easily be remembered as son of the late J. Clarence Davies Jr. '34, or brother of J. Clarence Davies III '59, or simply for all his numerous professional and civic achievements: sixth generation head of the family real estate firm, one of few to hold the designations of Certified Property Manager (CPM), Member, Appraisal Institute (MAI), and Counselor of Real Estate (CRE).

He was also honorary fire chief of New York, national president of the Institute of Real Estate Management, trustee of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, and assistant director of ceremonies for the Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee.

Yet I prefer to remember Al differently. Because he made a difference. With his genuine compassion for others. With his generosity as a member of the Dartmouth family (Alumni Council, admissions work, and Alumni Fund donations and work). And with his inspiration in creating the David Downey '63 Scholarship Fund and the establishment at our 2st Reunion of the 1963 "Soaring Pine" Achievement Awards.

Al is survived by his wife, Sheila, his daughters Alexandra and Holly, his mother, Helen, and his brother.

At the time of his death he was professor of biology and research scientist at the Center of Great Lakes and Aquatic Sciences at Michigan.

In 1967 he married Susan Kae Soltau and they lived in Ann Arbor, where she is a research scientist at the University of Michigan. Also surviving are his parents; brothers Michael '66, Joshua, and Benjamin; sister Phoebe; three nephews; and his uncle, Burrows Morley '30.

He later received an M.B.A. from the Wharton School and spent two years in the Peace Corps as a lecturer in business at Mombasa Polytechnic College in Kenya. An investment banker, David formerly served as an assistant secretary of the Treasury. Prior to becoming ill he was a vice president at the firm of Brian M. Freeman & Cos. in Washington, D.C.

To the end, David's interest in Dartmouth was undiminished and he returned to Hanover in February 1988 to speak on "Living with AIDS: Blame and Compas- sion," at a seminar on the disease.
