WARREN EDWARD MONTSIE '15, Professor of of French Emeritus and a member of the Dartmouth faculty for 45 years when he retired in 1960, died July 31, 1969 at his home 300 North Osceola Ave., Clearwater, Fla., from a heart ailment which began a few years ago.

"Monty," as he was known to his classmates, was bora April 14, 1893 in Waltham, Mass., where he attended high school. He received his Dartmouth B.S. degree cum laude in 1915 and stayed on as a teaching scholar. The following year he was Instructor in German, then did graduate work at Harvard, and returned as instructor from 1919 to 1921, adding French to German in the latter year. He studied at the University of Caen in France in 1921-22, receiving his certificate in French studies with mention tres honorable. Upon his return to Dartmouth he concentrated on the teaching of French, receiving the College's A.M. in 1924 and becoming assistant professor in 1925. He studied at Harvard again in 192728 and attained full professorial rank at Dartmouth in 1941.

Monty was a devoted teacher, dedicated to the success of his students, and to his clasroom hours he added many more working with students who needed individual help. His courses were in French conversation and composition as well as literature. In honor of his long career as teacher of French he received the Palmes Academiques from the French government in 1961 and the following year he was decorated with the insignia of Chevalier in that Order.

Monty's interest in young people led him into many years of counseling in summer camps, especially at Camp Monomoy on Cape Cod, where until only a few years ago he had a summer home at East Brewster. His other outside interests were many and varied. Using the D.O.C.'s five-mile map, he made an extensive study of wild flowers in the Hanover area. His summers at Cape Cod made him an expert fisherman and something of an authority on marine life in Cape waters. He belonged to the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Green Mountain Club, and was a member of Gamma Delta Chi fraternity and a Past Master of Bezaleel Lodge, A.F.&.A.M., Hanover. He was skilled in woodworking and built many pieces of furniture of his own design.

Monty was married in 1928 to Ethel May Stokes, who survives him at their home at 300 North Osceola in Clearwater. He also is survived by a daughter Ruth, Mrs. Richard M. Brayton of Durham, N. H., and four grandchildren. Following private family services, burial was in Blue Hills Cemetery, Braintree, Mass.

GEORGE ELLMAKER DILLER, A.M. '47, Professor of French Emeritus, died August 13, 1969 in Monthelie par Mersault, Cote-d'Or, France, where he had been living since his retirement in 1966.

Professor Diller had been a member of the Dartmouth faculty since 1936 and had served as chairman of the Romance Languages Department for three different periods. He was instrumental in establishing the Dartmouth foreign study program in France and since taking up his residence in that country he had served as an adviser and overseas representative of the College in the program.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., March 7, 1906, Professor Diller was graduated from Princeton in 1926 and for the next four years was employed by banking firms in Paris and New York. He returned to Princeton for graduate study, receiving his doctorate in 1933, and then taught French for one year at Princeton and two years at Rutgers before joining the Dartmouth faculty in 1936. He became assistant professor in 1938 and full professor in 1947. He was a specialist in French literature of the Renaissance, but in the latter years of his academic career he devoted himself more and more to modern France. He visited that country almost annually and was the owner of a vineyard in the choicest wine region of Burgundy. He had an expert knowledge of wines and was a Chevalier du Tastevin, a greatly prized honor in France.

With the late Prof. Charles R. Bagley he was the author of La France d'autrefois etd'aujourd'hui (revised in 1961). With Prof. Ramon Guthrie he was editor of French Literature and Thought Since the Revolution (1942) and Prose and Poetry of ModernFrance (1964). For his writings and teaching he was honored in 1966 by the French government, which made him a Chevalier of L'Ordredes Palmes Academiques.

Professor Diller was active in Norwich community affairs, serving on the school board and town finance committee. He helped found the Hanover Consumer Cooperative Society and was its president from 1938 to 1940. During World War II he was an Air Force intelligence officer, assigned to Calcutta, New Delhi, and Guam. He received the Bronze Star and at the time of his discharge in 1945 held the rank of major.

1903

LEWIS HENRY HANEY, noted teacher and author in the field of economics, died of a stroke July 1, 1969 in St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, N. Y. He was 87 and made his home at 18 Argyle Rd., Port Washington, N. Y.

Professor Haney taught economics at New York University from 1920 until his retirement in 1955, and was the author of eight books, the best known of which is his History ofEconomic Thought (1911), which appeared in a number of subsequent editions and is still a standard work in the field. As director of the N.Y.U. Bureau of Business Research, beginning in 1921, he issued monthly reports on the nation's economy. These became widely known and led to the writing of a daily financial column which was syndicated in the Hearst newspapers from 1928 to 1957. He also was on the editorial board of the AmericanEconomic Review.

Professor Haney was born in Eureka, Ill., March 30, 1882. After graduation from Dart- mouth in 1903 he received his A.M. degree at the College and won the Parker Fellowship for 1905. He took his Ph.D. degree at the University of Wisconsin in 1906. For the next ten years he taught at the Universities of lowa, Michigan, and Texas, and then served as chief economist with the Federal Trade Commission from 1916 to 1919, and the Department of Agriculture, 1920-21. He joined the faculty of the N.Y.U. Graduate School of Business Administration in 1920. For some years after his retirement in 1955 he continued to lecture at the school.

In addition to History of Economic Thought, Professor Haney wrote A Congressional History of Railways (1908-10), Business Organization and Combination (1913), The Business ofRailway Transportation (1925), Business Forecasting (1931), Economics in a Nutshell (1933), Value and Distribution (1939), and How You Really Earn Your Living (1952). He was economic adviser to various groups, including the National Association of Manufacturers, the Petroleum Research Institute, the National Association of Purchasing Agents, General Electric Co., and Chicopee Manufacturing Co.

He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Chi Phi, the Cosmos Club of Washington, the Financial Writers Association, and the American Economic Association.

In 1967 Professor Haney established an endowment fund at Dartmouth to foster teaching and scholarly research in economics, especially in the history of economic thought. Although use of the fund was left to the Trustees and faculty, it was his expressed wish that moderate, basic economics not be ignored. Dr. Frank W. Fetter of Northwestern University was the first Haney Visiting Professor of Economics at Dartmouth in 1967-68.

Professor Haney's first marriage, in 1906, was to Anna Stephenson who died in 1944. His second marriage, in 1945, was to Louise Thion, who has been his co-worker. He is survived by his widow; a daughter, Mrs. William H. West of Rindge, N. H.; a brother and sister; four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held July 7 in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Port Washington. In a tribute delivered by a former student, Professor Haney was characterized as "a gracious and noble man." The family requested that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to the Haney Endowment Fund at Dartmouth.

ARTHUR STANLEY BOLSTER died June 24 at a hospital in Nashua, N. H., less than two weeks after being one of five classmates who participated in a happy 65th reunion of the Class of 1904, where he appeared to be in excellent health. He suffered from a serious fall on the previous Saturday in which a hip was broken, the consequences of which caused a rapid decline until his death on the 24th. His death notice, as published in the Nashua Telegraph, stated "In lieu of flowers, contributions in his name may be made to the Dartmouth College Third Century Fund, Hanover, N. H."

In sending notification of his death, his daughter-in-law wrote of his attendance at the reunion, "He was so happy to see all of you in Hanover — he talked of the reunion constantly after his return home and we are so pleased he had such a great visit with you all so soon before he died. His great love was Dartmouth and all who are connected with it. We are also happy he lived long enough to know that his grandson was to follow the Dartmouth tradition. Stephen enters in the fall with the Class of 1973."

Arthur was a member of the Unitarian-Universalist Church; Rising Sun Lodge, F. and A.M.; and Retired Craftsman Association.

He was president of Manchester Council of Social Agencies, 1933-44; campaign manager of the Community Chest in 1950; a charter member of the Manchester Country Club; and a member of the Manchester Kiwanis Club and many other organizations. His family includes his widow, Louise, two daughters, a son John G. Jr. '38, 11 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a sister. His grandson Peter M. Estes is a member of the Class of 1972. The honorary pall bearers included classmates Alan B. Shepard, Harold C. McAllister, and Nelson Gay. Also present were Dr. Wm. Davis and M. Wright. The class shares the loss of a loyal and outstanding classmate with his family.

WILLIAM BOLSTER PIERCE died 13 July, 1969 in East Providence, R. 1., at the age of 82. Bill was bora 19 August, 1887 in Portland, Me.; educated at Portland, Me. High School and Phillips Exeter Academy. He attended Brown University, then transferred to Dartmouth, and graduated with our class with a bachelor and a master's degree in science. He also did graduate work at Brown and Harvard.

After teaching on the secondary level, he returned to Dartmouth as an instructor in physics. He later entered the investment business and then became a private tutor in math and physics. He led an active, interesting life and was a member of many local organizations. In college he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Besides his widow, Ruth, former chairman of the Barrington School Committee, he is survived by a son, Arthur N. '57, superintendent of schools in Hanover, N. H., and a daughter, Catherine. Another loyal classmate has left us, and the class sends heartfelt sympathy to the family.

1915

CARL LESLIE SWENSON, chairman of Foley Brothers, Inc., construction and engineering company with headquarters in Pleasantville, N. Y., died June 17, 1969 in Northern Westchester Hospital after a short illness. He had resided at Mead Street, Lake Waccabuc, N. Y.

Carl was born September 16, 1893 in Forreston, Minn., prepared for college at St. John's Military Academy in Wisconsin, and graduated from Dartmouth in 1915 with a B.S. degree. In 1920, he received his LL.B. from St. Paul College of Law.

While at Dartmouth, he played on the class baseball team and was a member of the rifle team his first two years and the gun team his second and third years.

Carl's activities included engineering and construction operations which carried him into far away places: Canada, India, Australia, Africa, Iran, Iraq, Thailand, Malaya, Chile, Peru, Brazil, and British West Indies.

His memberships included University Club, Blind Brook Golf Club, Bedford Golf Club, Gulf Stream Golf Club at Delray, Fla., Wall Street Club, Dartmouth Club, Camp Fire Club of America, The Moles, and American Society of Civil Engineers.

When interviewed in 1965 for the 1915 FiftyYear Book, his comment was: "Aside from necessary travel, I keep busy at golf, hunting and fishing."

He is survived by his widow Jenny; sons, Lind and Carl, '55; a daughter Barbara; and four grandchildren. Funeral services were held at St. Matthews Church, Bedford, N. Y., and interment was at St. Matthews Cemetery.

19.18

Our classmate, DAVID LEDGER SKINNER died suddenly on 7 June 1969 in Rye, N. Y., where he had lived since 1929.

His many civic duties included chairmanship of five Red Cross drives in that city; director chairman of the city's Community Chest; director, 1931-40, of the Rye Branch of the Boy Scouts of America; and senior warden in Christ Church, Episcopal. His business career was that of a Wall Street financier. By the time of his 1964 retirement he had attained the office of vice-president and director of Harriman, Ripley and Company, international bankers.

When in April 1917 America entered World War I, Dave, with scores of other Eighteeners, withdrew from college to enlist. In France and Belgium he served with the 106th Machine Gun Battalion of the Twenty-seventh Division. Just before the Armistice Dave was gassed. This hospitalized him until mid-January 1919. He was honorably discharged from service in April of that year.

Dave's wife Elizabeth passed away in 1960. He is survived by his widow Dorothy, to whom he was married in 1962, two daughters, a son, David Jr. '5l, and 11 grandchildren.

The Class shares a sense of the great loss Dave's family has sustained in his passing, and it extends to them its sympathy.

1921

COREY FORD, 67, humorist, sportsman, and author, died July 27 in Dick's House, Hanover, after an illness of several weeks.

A resident of Hanover for the past 17 years and a Columbia man more closely identified with Dartmouth than his alma mater, Corey was an officially adopted member of Dartmouth's Class of 1921. He was the "patron saint" of rugby at the College, supporting the club generously in all ways, and accompanying it to England on one of its famous international tours. He also gave support to boxing and wrestling when those sports had no official status, and part of his bachelor quarters on North Balch Street was converted into gym facilities for students.

Corey for a number of years was also consultant to student publications, and he was always ready to give encouragement and help to young writers. He was an expert mentor in hunting and fishing, and these interests added to the legion of Dartmouth men who became his friends. At the time of his death he was associate editor and columnist for Field andStream. His monthly column, "Lower Forty," ranged from sailfishing off Florida to upland hunting in New Hampshire.

All these activities were simply appendages to his main career as an author. Some 30 books and 500 magazine articles bore his name. Best known as a satirist and humorous writer, going back to the days of the old Life and Vanity Fair magazines, he had in recent years written several successful books of biography and non-fiction.

Corey Ford, a native of New York City, attended Columbia University and began his writing career as editor of the humor magazine, The Jester. As an undergraduate he teamed with Morris Watkins to author the famous Columbia song, "Roar, Lion, Roar."

He first won national notice with his "Rover Boy" parodies in the old humor magazine Life. Later, his literary parodies in Vanity Fair were considered the very model of satirical writing. He was among the first regular contributors to The New Yorker when that magazine was founded. In Hollywood, he wrote scripts for W. C. Fields and was associated with the Marx Brothers. Corey was part of the brilliant coterie of Robert Benchley, Frank Sullivan, Ogden Nash, Dorothy Parker, and others in what many consider the golden age of American humor. This period was fondly recalled in his book, The Time of Laughter (1968). His own style of humor is represented in Office Party (1951), Every Dog ShouldHave a Man (1952), and Corey Ford's Guideto Thinking (1961).

The serious side of his versatile literary interests was evident in such books as Cloak andDagger (1964); A Peculiar Service (1965), an account of rebel espionage in British-occupied Manhattan during the Revolutionary War; and Where the Sea Breaks Its Back (1967), a biography of Georg Wilhelm Steller, 18th-century German explorer of Alaska. Just recently he had finished a biography of "Wild Bill" Donovan, chief of the OSS during World War 11, scheduled to be published early next year by Little, Brown. In this book, as in so much of his writing, Mr. Ford wrote from first-hand knowledge, reflecting his own experience as an Army Air Force intelligence officer during World War II.

A bachelor, Corey leaves no immediate next of kin. Funeral services and interment in Hanover were private.

JOHN RAPHAEL MAHONEY died August 15 in Milton, Mass.

A specialist in glass and china, he was employed by the Casson Corporation of Cambridge and earlier by Jones, McDuffee and Stratton of Boston. At Dartmouth only for one year, he transferred to Holy Cross from which he was graduated in 1921. Because his son John Jr. is also a Holy Cross graduate, Jack enjoyed and suffered from divided loyalties when the two colleges met in football, but he always expressed his friendly feelings for Dartmouth and kept up his friendships with his Dartmouth classmates. Born March 5, 1899 in Westfield, Mass., he was a member of St. Agatha's Holy Name Society and made his home at 17 Rockwell Ave., Milton.

1922

TEMPLETON MARTIN INNES died after a short illness May 23 in a Napa, Calif., hospital. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, he was 68.

He came to Dartmouth from Cleveland Heights High School and was a classmate for two years. He is well remembered as a member of Delta Tau Delta. Before junior year he transferred to the University of Michigan where he received his B.A. in 1922.

For many years he lived in Los Angeles where he was credit manager for the Simmons Bed Co. In 1950, he became partner in a Stockton, Calif., furniture business. Some years later he retired and made his home at 30 Country Lane, Napa, Calif. 94558. He is survived by his widow, a son and two grandchildren.

JOHN JOSEPH SHEA passed away May 16 in Miami, Fla. An enthusiastic classmate with many Dartmouth friends, he will be sorely missed.

Johnny was born April 29, 1900, in Worcester, Mass. He went from its North High School to Holy Cross College. After completing his freshman year, he transferred to Dartmouth and joined '22 as a sophomore. He was a friendly, popular classmate and a member of Phi Delta Theta.

Following graduation he began his business career with Manufacturers Trust Co. of New York. In the late twenties he moved to Detroit where he was to live for some 25 years. There he was associated for several years with Moody's Investor Service and then with Brown & Bigelow. About 1940 he began a long-term association with P. D. Bromberg & Co. and 15 years ago he moved to 1624 N.E. 177 th St., North Miami Beach, where he worked with Bromberg, Aronow & Co. until his retirement a few years ago. But no matter where Johnny worked, he and Anna practically always returned to '22 reunions.

John and Anna Marie (Fitzpatrick) were married October 18, 1930, in Detroit. She survives him together with a son, a daughter, and five grandchildren. A Requiem Mass for John was said in St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Miami, on May 20. The Class joins Anna and the family in deep bereavement.

1924

Arline wrote that Otis died on Thursday, June 5, 1969 — and so our class has lost one of its true stalwarts. Back in January, OTIS GOODWIN JACKSON wrote that he had had "a miserable two months." His doctor advised retirement as indicated by failure to "rectify my heart failure." His own comments summarize his busy life, as follows: "retired from the active ministry of the Episcopal Church because of ill health. His resignation as director of Pastoral Ministries at All Saints Church, Pasadena, became effective December 31, 1968. In summary, Mr. Jackson's ministry consisted of five parts: Assistant, St. Paul's Kenwood, Chicago, 1928-31; Vicar of St. Mark's, Oakley, Cincinnati, 1931-38; Rector of St. Paul's, Flint, Mich., 1938-49; Dean of St. Matthew's Cathedral, 'Laramie, Wyo., 1949-67; Assistant, All Saints, Pasadena, 1967-68." How modest can one be?

Otis came from Medford, born September 1, 1902; educated in the Medford High School and at Andover Union Theological Seminary after Dartmouth. He received a degree in sacred theology from the Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge, in 1928, when he also married Arline Moseley Hayden. Of course he served on many church committees, and also graced the pulpit of the "White Church" in Hanover for our Memorial Service. He twice represented Wyoming at the Anglican Congress, as one measure of his stature among his peers. No one needs to be told of his status among his classmates.

In addition to his widow Arline of 450 W. California Blvd., Pasadena, Otis left 3 daughters and a son Andrew '52. His brother Richard '33 and several grandchildren also survive. We all regret that 1924 could not be represented in the pallbearers and honorary pallbearers; many of us will pay our last respects in other ways, among which may be mentioned memorial gifts either to the 1924 Alumni Fund or to your state Heart Association.

We are indebted to Gordon Marvel '25 for news of the death of COLEMAN MORRISON FITCH on July 24, 1969, but the cause and place are not known as we write.

"Morrie" or "Mike," as he was known at various times to many of us, has been one of our benedicts; he never married. There is a long story back of his career-change which can be told by others elsewhere, but he did start out to be an architect. He earned a master's degree in 1929 from the Harvard School of Design, but made little use of this training. Instead, he wrote many articles and books about and for children, and was a publisher for many years.

Many of us know he liked to return to the campus, and did so with Gordon Marvel "a few years ago."

In College, Mike was active in the Players; he was not a fraternity man—along with about half the Class. The war record indicates his service, enlisting as a private in 1942 and being promoted to the ranks of corporal and of lieutenant. His publishing career started in 1937 as editor of the Greystone Press, in New York; he became President in 1939, according to the record.

We have to report still another victim of "heart failure." JAMES ALEXANDER MOORE died on June 25, 1969, in Fullerton, Calif., where he lived at 1014 Westridge Knoll. He was born November 12, 1902.

There is a long time in our records where we had little word of or from Jim. We know him as one of the Culver Academy group of our era, and as a Zeta Psi member. He came from Seattle and returned after only two to three years in New York in real estate and the American Wood Impregnation Co. His first work back in California was with the Standard Oil of California and then Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. in 1929. It was with the latter that he worked for many years, becoming personnel manager in 1931 and employment man- ager in 1934. Our most recent note stated that Jim was titled industrial relations manager for Firestone. Jim married Clara Minor, at Corona, Calif., on October 9, 1926. James the 3d was born in 1935. Both Clara and this son, and two granddaughters survive him; also a niece, Clarice Grobe, of Playa del Rey, Calif.

1925

LINCOLN CURTIS PRICE died at his home, 528 S. Alandele Ave., Los Angeles, May 8, 1969, at the age of 66.

Link was born in Lisbon, N. H., where he also went to school. In college he was a member of Theta Delta Chi.

His jobs were several in the area of sales with E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, Del.; New England Electrical Works, Lisbon, N. H.; Visking Corp., Little Rock, Ark.; General Shoe Lace Corp., Louisville, Ky.; Louisville Fireplace Corp., New Albany, Ind.; and finally Director of Property Patrol & Security Agency—Bonded Security Services, Boulder, Colo.

During World War II he served in the Navy as It. commander with decorations in several theatres of action.

Surviving are his widow Alice (Burkett), whom he married since our last reunion, together with two sons, and six grandchildren to whom the deep sympathy of the class is extended.

CHARLES MORRIS WILSON died July 1, 1969, following a heart attack on the golf course, after having retired only last spring as New England district manager of General Electric's major appliance and TV division.

Woody was born in Avondale, Pa., in 1904 and attended St. Luke's School in Wayne, Pa. At Dartmouth he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, Sphinx, The Arts, Green Key, Palaeopitus, Council on Student Organizations, Occum Council, and manager of the Musical Clubs his senior year.

He went with the G.E. in 1927 and opened the company's first factory branch office for the distribution of major appliances in Boston in 1938. He was a past president of the Electric Institute of Greater Boston, a member of Brae Burn Country Club, and a vestryman at the Church of the Good Shepherd. He lived at 22 Southwick Rd., Waban.

In 1930 he married Mary Frances McNeive, who survives him, together with two daughters. His passing is a great loss to the Class and the College.

1926

The Class of 1926 has suffered a severe loss in the sudden death of PHILIP MOHR BENJAMIN on August 19, 1969 following an emergency operation after he was stricken at his home, 529 Limber Road, Meadville, Pa. At the time Phil was in the process of packing for a trip to Hanover to attend a meeting of the 1926 Memorial Book Committee of which he was a founding member and the chairman.

Phil was born in Warren, Pa., July 18, 1903 and came to Dartmouth from the Warren High School and the Warren Conservatory of Music. After graduation, cum laude with honors in English, he attended Princeton Graduate School, 1926-29, on Princeton's Richard Crawford Campbell and Mac Donald Fellowships, and received his A.M. degree in 1927. He then joined the faculty of Allegheny College in 1929 as an Instructor in English and literature, and remained there until his retirement this summer. He rose through the ranks to became full professor in 1954. In 1942 he was also appointed Librarian of the Reis Library of the college, the position he held until this summer when he was elected Librarian Emeritus. He was also Assistant Dean of Men, 1932-34. In addition, he was Chief Proctor of the College, 1932-43, and chairman of the commencement exercises for the past 26 years. As Phil was unmarried, he devoted much of his free time to advising undergraduate activities. He developed such undergraduate interests as music listening hours and informal reading groups.

Phil was a member of many professional societies and associations, among them the Pennsylvania Library Association, American Asso- ciation of the History of Medicine, Pittsburgh Bibliophiles, Crawford County Historical Society, Friends of the Princeton Library, and Friends of the Dartmouth Library. He was active in the civic affairs of his community, president of the Civic Music Association of Meadville, vestryman of the Christ Episcopal Church, the YMCA, the Rotary Club of Meadville, and the Meadville Round Table. He was a member of the Mayor's Multiracial Committee.

Through his interest in the history of medicine and his articles for such publications as the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association and Pennsylvania Medical Journal, he had become a member of the American Cancer Society. He headed Meadville's Cancer Crusade in 1962, and in 1963-64 was secretary of the Pennsylvania Division and a lay director. In 1964 he held a faculty grant to attend the 19th International Congress for the History of Medicine at Basel, Switzerland.

Phil is survived by one sister, Mrs. Charlotte Season, a niece, and a nephew. To these members of his family the Class of 1926 extends its heartfelt sympathies.

As Phil's great interest was in the 1926 Memorial Book Collection, it would be most appropriate that memorials in his name should be given to Dartmouth College for the Collection. This was always his wish for others in the Class.

The many friends of EDWARD JEFFRESS CHAFFIN throughout the Dartmouth community will be saddened to learn of his sudden death at Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Netherlands West Indies, on August 15, 1969.

Ed was born in Chicago, February 19, 1904 and came to Dartmouth from Lake Forest Academy. He was a very popular member of his class and was well known for his activities in The Players and participation in the Carnival Shows. His effervescent wit and humor continued over the years and his presence enlivened many of the 1926 reunions. Ed was a member of Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Omicron Gamma, and Dragon.

After graduation he joined General Outdoor Advertising Co. in Chicago for a short period before transferring to the Walker & Company advertising agency, where he was eastern representative and account executive at Detroit. After ten years in the agency business, he became affiilated with The Curtis Publishing Co. as advertising representative of the Saturday EveningPost. For the next 25 years he was the magazine's Publication Manager in Detroit, Western Sales Manager in Chicago, and Eastern Division Manager In New York City. With the change of ownership of Curtis Publishing Co. he retired and had been developing personal business interests.

Ed was married to Charlotte Wolever in July 1939 at Grosse Pointe, Mich., and they have one daughter, Mrs. Linda S. Pecarina, and two grandchildren. The Class of 1926 extends its sincerest sympathy to Charlotte and Linda in a loss that we all share.

Memorial services at Wilton, Conn., on September 21 were attended by many of his classmates.

Death struck 1926 again on May 6 when HENRY GEORGE MCDONOUGH, leader of New York City's Bronx County Democratic Organization died of a heart attack. He was 65 years old and very much involved in one of the party's most complex fights over the nomination for Mayor of New York City.

Mac, who came to college from Stuyvesant High School, lived his entire life in the Bronx, where he felt no need to travel because the whole world came to him there.

In college he was a member of Sigma Phi fraternity and a cross-country runner. In order to earn money for law school he first sold Club Aluminum pots and pans and then became a milk man, calling on his experience as a runner to deliver milk in the apartment houses in the Bronx. He received his LL.B. from Fordham Law School in 1930.

On April 15, 1939 Mac married Florence Smith, and in November 1944 Florence died after giving birth to their daughter Joan Patricia, now Mrs. George Bacon of Garnerville, N. Y.

His legal career saw him serve as attorney to the Depression-born Home Owners Loan Corp. from 1934-1936; title examiner for the Corporation Counsel in 1937; principal attorney for the State Tax Commission in the transfer and estate tax section from 1956 to 1959; and counsel to the Bronx Public Administration from 1965 until his death. He had been a referee for the Appellate Division since 1959. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey named him chairman of the Bronx Council of the State Commission against Discrimination in 1945. Mayor William O'Dwyer appointed him in 1946 as a member of the committee which is known today as the City Commission on Human Rights. He rose through the ranks of the Bronx Democratic Organization to become Law Chairman in 1938, then successively Treasurer, Secretary, and finally leader in January 1967.

He closed a letter to "Smoke Signals" as follows: "I am ever mindful of Dartmouth and what I learned there has guided me ever since, and the fellows I met and the bull sessions X enjoyed have inspired me these many years."

He will be missed.

A belated report has been received that CHARLES AVERY EASTMAN died at the Portsmouth (N. H.) Hospital on March 21, 1967.

"Ave" Eastman entered Dartmouth from the Portsmouth High School where he had excelled in athletics, playing varsity football, basketball, and baseball. At the end of his freshman year he transferred to the University of New Hampshire. Later he played professional baseball and basketball prior to entering the automobile business wtih Coleman Nash in Portsmouth.

Although Ave was at Dartmouth for only one year, his memory will always be with his many friends of the Class and his dorm-mates of Topliff during that memorable freshman year.

The sympathies of the Class are sincerely extended to his wife Jessie at 200 Dover Point Rd., Dover, N. H., and his son Avery.

1927

FREDERICK EUGENE CARVER died July 29, 1969 at the Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital in Lebanon, N. H. He had retired the previous month after 17 years as Head Master of Kimball Union Academy.

Fred came to Hanover from Newburyport, Mass., where he had been an outstanding ath- lete. He continued his athletic career in college as star pitcher on the baseball team. With membership in Green Key, Sigma Chi, and Kappa Phi Kappa, he was a prominent class- mate.

Upon graduation he began coaching football and baseball and teaching mathematics at Lebanon High School.

In 1936 he went to Kimball Union and the same year married Jessie Graham of Lebanon. At K.U.A. he coached and taught mathematics, becoming admissions director in 1939. After serving as assistant Head Master he was named Head Master in 1952, giving up his football and baseball coaching duties.

During his 17 years as Head Master, Kimball Union assets grew from $1 million to more than $6 million. A series of new buildings substantially expanded the physical plant and he led many innovations in the school's academic programs.

Fred was known as "Coach" to hundreds of his school's alumni. He never failed to amaze returning graduates to the hilltop school by calling them by their first names! The countless letters of recommendation for college admission were always hand-written.

After advanced studies at Harvard and Dartmouth, he received a Master of Arts degree in 1937 from Dartmouth. He also received an honorary degree of Doctor of Education from Norwich University.

Fred is survived by his widow, who lives in Meriden, three sons, a daughter, three grandchildren, and a brother.

Bill Elliott writes about Fred—"No tycoon of industry but a real tycoon of secondary education. Many of our classmates had sons at Kimball Union; Thees, Prescott and others. He dealt in people and I doubt that many men have had the understanding, the patience, and the wisdom to handle boys as he had. We went through high school together and roomed together at Hanover for three years. He was really a top-quality man."

NEAL RICHARDS DOWE died of cancer June 21, 1969 in Belmont, Mass. Born in Londonderry, Vt., he had been a resident of Belmont for 19 years and lived at 3 Scott Rd.

Nibs graduated from Medford High School. Very active in college, he was manager of lacrosse but his great interest was music. He played piano, drums, and xylophone, was a member of the band and musical clubs, playing with the Glee Club, instrumental group, and orchestra. Nibs collaborated with Charles Gaynor in the Carnival Show, "The Green Peach," composing music and lyrics of several of the songs. He was a member of Gamma Delta Chi.

His business career since 1928 was with John C. Paige and Co. of Boston where he was manager of the college and school department. He belonged to the West Medford Congregational Church, the Lexington Golf Club, and the Senior Golfers Association.

He leaves his wife Florence (they had celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last March 2), two sons, a daughter, a brother, and a sister.

JOHN HOWE FUQUA, a retired United States diplomat, died in Paris on July 13 after a long illness.

John was born in Marinette, Wise. After Hanover he entered government service. His services were requested by Cordell Hull for whom he served as Chief Economic Advisor. Among his State Department posts were Dundee, Scotland, London, and Paris.

He retired in 1965 and settled in Paris with his wife, the former Marie-Theresa da Souza-Ruza, daughter of a Portuguese diplomat.

JOHN HUNTER GREENER, noted radiologist, died on June 18 after a long fight against cancer, at Huntington Hospital, N. Y.

Jack entered Dartmouth from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, N. Y., and spent five years in Hanover which included two years in the Medical School. He finished his medical studies at Rochester University and took further courses in radiation physics at Columbia. For many years he practiced in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn; and in the last two years most of his work had been in the Huntington, L. 1., area.

Doc Greener was an avid musician and excelled in quartet singing. For over 35 years he was an active member of the University Glee Club of New York City. His two sons, Alan and Jay, are also Glee Club members. Some 75 members of the Club attended the memorial service at St. John's Episcopal Church at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Among those attending were classmates Ted Girault, Tom Gillespie, and Alan Welty. Frank Williams '29, Dr. John Cornehlsen '29, and William Gennerich '57 were also there. The Glee Club sang "Laudamus" and two hymns at the service.

Jack is survived by his widow Claire, at 90 Kelsey Ave., Huntington Station, N. Y., two daughters, and two sons, Alan '58 and Jay. There were several grandchildren who called their grandfather "Foxie."

Jack led an active life and a good life. He helped many persons during his career and brought joy to his friends through his musical antics.

T. V. G.

EDWARD GEDNEY WEBB of Richmond, Va., died suddenly last November 12, 1968. Ed came to Dartmouth from New York City and returned there upon graduation to enter the bond business.

He later opened the Edward G. Webb & Co. in Lynchburg, Va., and in 1958 moved his firm to Richmond. Last May he joined Wheat & Co., Inc. as vice president and director of the firm's municipal bond department. He was past president and director of the Bond Club of Virginia.

He is survived by his widow, Ann, two sons, and a daughter.

1930

JAMES CLARK MURRAY died May 15, 1969 following a short illness. He had suffered from emphysema for several years. Jim joined Remington Rand, Inc. in 1937 and at the time of his death was a senior product consultant with Univac Division of Sperry Rand Corp. in the Marketing Education Center at King of Prussia, Pa. Prior to that he had been in sales and sales promotion as well as a writer, trainer, and manager with responsibility for product training and course development.

The Class extends its sympathy to his widow Dorothy of 1674 Fort Washington Ave., Maple Glen, Pa., and family.

JAMES BROWN WORCESTER died in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 28, 1969. Class records on Jim are most incomplete, but it is known that he had lived for some time in Lakewood, Ohio, and was a construction accountant. He left no close relatives or family.

1931

ROBERT ABIAL (Red) ROLFE, director of athletics at Dartmouth for 13 years, until 1967, and one of the all-time great third basemen of big league baseball, died July 8 at his retirement home on Governor's Island, Laconia, N. H. An intestinal disorder that forced his baseball retirement at the peak of his playing career in 1942 continued to plague him for the rest of his life. Outwardly Red gave no sign of this, but his friends knew of the fortitude with which he bore this ailment which finally contributed to his death at the age of 60.

Dartmouth honored Red in June of this year by naming its varsity baseball field for him. It was on that field that he had played as shortstop and 1931 captain, under Coach Jeff Tesreau, and had shown the remarkable ability that led to his being signed by the New York Yankees.

The month before, on the occasion of Red Rolfe Day, marking his retirement as Dartmouth's director of athletics, he was praised by President Dickey, who said: "We of course know you as a player, coach, manager, and director of athletics who could do some things that were beyond the rest of us, but we honor you most, I think, because while performing those feats you were also the kind of human being who keeps out in front in the race to be human."

Red was born October 17, 1908 in Penacook, N. H., which also now has a Rolfe Field, and prepared for Dartmouth at Penacook High School and Phillips Exeter Academy. In addition to baseball, he was interested in music and played in the Band and the Players Orchestra. He was a member of Palaeopitus, Green Key, Sphinx, Phi Sigma Kappa, and Kappa Phi Kappa. Upon graduation in 1931 he signed a contract with the Yankees and played with Albany in the Eastern League and Newark in the International League before moving up to the Yankees in 1934. He was still a shortstop but manager Joe McCarthy moved him to third base and there Red found the spot for stardom. He was regular third baseman from 1935 to 1941 and played for six American League pennant-winning teams and five World Series champions. After retirement in 1942 he was always picked for the all-time New York Yankees team, along with Ruth, Gehrig, and DiMaggio. An unobtrustive perfectionist in fielding and a batter (.289 life average) who was always dangerous, he was appreciated by baseball's cognoscenti and was respected as a gentleman on and off the field.

Upon retirement in 1942, Red coached baseball and basketball at Yale until 1946 when he returned to the Yankees as a coach. He coached Toronto in the National Basketball Association in 1946-47 and became director of the Detroit Tigers farm system in 1948. A year later he was named manager of the Tigers and held the position until midway in the 1952 season.
