Above, Ernest Martin Hop-kins, president 1916-1945, with a Paul Sample wa-tercolor of the Green. Jere Daniell summarizes Hoppy�’s enormous impact on Dart-mouth: �“College increas-ingly national, less regional. Undergraduate education made primary. Personal-ized the presidency: �‘Hoppy�’ to everyone; nobody called Tucker �‘Bill.�’ Secularized the college, in that inuence of ministers declined rap-idly and that of businessmen increased. Modernized fund raising: courted the biggies (Rockefeller, e.g.) and or-ganized regular solicitation among alumni in general.�”

Jim Perkins Recalls Hoppy, the Deke

Spring of 1953, coming off probation slapped on them the previous October, Dartmouth�’s Dekes planned a cel-ebratory all-nighter that could have roused the watchful campus police and shuttered the bad-boy fraternity forever. Fortunately, house advisor Corey Ford interceded. Come out of this with your head held high, he told the brothers, eyeing especially the newly pledged sophomores among us. Don�’t conrm a reputation you don�’t deserve. Show some class. There was a lot of half-spoken grumbling; the broth-ers didn�’t know Corey very well �– he�’d been in our midst just a few months -- and most thought he was meddling. Corey had been a Deke at Columbia University, class of 1926, and editor of the Jester, the college humor maga-zine. On his arm, he bore a Deke tattoo, binding evidence of his fraternal commitment. Have the party, he said, then cannily suggested we invite a few Deke friends who would distinguish us not by how many kegs we might kill, but whose attendance would send a signal to the college ad-ministration that us Dekes weren�’t really such bad guys after all. He told us what he had in mind, and instantly got shouts of approval. On a balmy Saturday evening, not three weeks later, af-ter the Tanzis had made their usual delivery, the house spar-kling, the brothers freshly scrubbed, in coats and ties and nervously shufing about, Corey arrived with his promised guests: President Emeritus Ernest Martin Hopkins �’01, Pi Chapter; Paul Sample �’20, Dartmouth�’s artist-in-residence and one of America�’s nest watercolorists, Pi Chapter; and Karl Michael �’29, longtime Dartmouth and Olympic swim coach, also Pi Chapter. �“Hoppy�” broke the ice immediately, introducing him-self, shaking hands, accepting the rst of several offered beers, launching stories of his time in the Deke house, with Sample and Michael joining in, the great hall aroar with excitement, and the brothers feeling very good about them-selves. -- Jim Perkins, Pi Chapter

Lynmar Brock�’sThird Novel,Geneviève, is Out!

Lyn says this is a story of a U.S. Navy ofcer (yes, he was one) who meets an at-tractive young Frenchwoman while visiting a Mediterranean port. Still based on fact? Who knows? For Lyn�’s reection on his fascinating new career--after a lifetime of running a very successful small business and taking innumerable leadership roles in Rotary In-ternational--please see overleaf.

Why Dartmouth Matters,And Amazon.com, too,As Books #4 and #5 Loom

When I return to Hanover, I am reminded what Dartmouth has meant to me over the years. I majored in English before going to Tuck. So while spending 45 years as President/CEO of Brock & Company I lled in some of the available time by writing. Must Thee Fight is the story of a Quaker boy going to ght the British in the American Revolution. I faced the same decision before going into the U.S. Navy. In This Hospitable Land, historical ction, is the experience of Claudie and her family eeing Belgium for the south of France ahead of the German Army in 1940. The family survived while 65 other members perished at Auschwitz. I wrote this in part so that our two sons would know of their mother and of her family�’s life before they immigrated to America in1950. Having ancestors who arrived in 1620 on the Mayower (John Alden) and with William:Penn to Pennsylvania in 1682, our sons already knew of my own family. Genevieve is ction but based on my service on a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Mediterranean. I am now editing my fourth book, The Inn Of Ten, ction, but characters meandering in and out of the Ten Commandments. I have started a fth book, the sequel to Must Thee Fight. Amazon has been wonderfully supportive for all are listed under my name or title. Amazon selected In This Hospitable Land as one of the eighteen greatest war books and is bringing out an audio version for Christmas. Dartmouth has been a constant encouragement in my life.

Lives of Fifty-vesELLIOTT T. HERSEY died on August 30, 2012 in Concord, N.H. He was born and raised in Winchester, Massachusetts, graduating from high school and spending one year at Kim-ball Union Academy. At Dartmouth, Elliott participated in the Woodsmen�’s Team and joined the D.O.C., R.O.T.C. and Chi Phi. His father, Waldon, was D. �’24. After serving in the Navy he returned to his family�’s dairy, Great Meadown Farm, in New Boston, N.H. He remained there as owner from 1957 to 1995. His rst wife, Linda, died in 1991. He remarried, to Alison Whittemore, who survives him. Always busy, Elliott served on several boards--school, library and Dairymen�’s Association--and continued volunteer activity for Dartmouth, especially after retirement. After Linda�’s death, Elliott and dog Isacc set out on a seven-month, 30,000-mile trip around the U.S.A. He joked that he was always surrounded by women--three sisters, ve daughters, two daughters-in-law amd a herd of dairy cows. He is survived by his second wife, all of the above and 11 grandchildren. --Submitted by R.J. Hastings, M.D. �’55

Jere Daniell, though putatively re-tired as Dartmouth�’s preeminent pro-fessor of colonial history, still relishes his subject. He entertained the class dinner at Homecoming by noting that he con-tinues to lecture in cities and towns about their own history. He�’s covered more than 300 of the 1,384 incorpo-rated towns, 122 cities and �“oodles of geographically dened but unin-corporated spaces,�” and continues to delight in the College�’s own fascinat-ing history. Recent lectures included one in a Keene, New Hampshire, tavern ex-plaining why the rst formal meeting of Dartmouth�’s trustees occurred in the very same room where he spoke. Jere told a story about President Sam-uel Colcord Bartlett �“that would chal-lenge the heroically inclined.�” In the early 1880s alumni tried to get him red. He insisted on a public �“trial�” to defend himself, and �“the media had a eld day covering the event.�” After-ward the trustees voted 6-4 to keep

While Lynmar still writes,Jere still talks

him on. Bartlett survived, �“very much a controver-sial lame duck,�” for another decade. A more successful ouster was that of President Nathan Lord, college president during the Civil War. He was �“an outspoken defender of both slav-ery and the South�’s right to secede.�” As a trustee he cast the deciding vote to withdraw an honorary degree invitation extended to President Lincoln. That vote led to �“a forced resignation which fellow trustee Amos Tuck engineered.�” Jere said dormitory advisors know he�’s happy to take students through the cemetery behind the Gold Coast where Eleazar Wheelock and other notables are buried. He said he�’s also frequently asked to lecture about the history of fraternities, sororities and senior societies. �“All great stuff for a retired history professor who continues to be entertained by the College�’s past.�”

In 1950-51, Dick Roberts spent a postgraduate year with us at “!e Prep” a"er graduating from Lower Merion High School. He quickly became a star in the classroom, achieving honor roll status, and on the athletic #elds, starting at fullback on the Inter-Ac Champion soccer team, starting guard on the co-Champion basketball team, and then pairing with Wade Close ’51 in doubles on the tennis squad. In the meantime, Dick made loads of friends with his ebullient and fun-loving personality. His Haligoluk pro#le was dead-on; he would matriculate to Dartmouth, study premed, and go on to become a research doctor. Following graduation from Dartmouth in 1955 where he was a three-year varsity soccer le$erman, Dick entered the Temple University School of Medicine, receiving his M.D. in 1959. He received his internal medicine training from 1959-64 and was appointed Clinical Instructor at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, concurrently serving as Chief Resident in Medicine at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital in 1964. Dick took part in the U.S. Armed Forces Physicians’ Appointment and Residency Consideration Program (nicknamed the “Berry Plan”), which allowed physicians to be deferred from military service while they acquired training in civilian institutions in specialties in which they would ful#ll their two-year military obligation. Following his residency in Ohio, Dick served on active duty from 1964-66, and was assigned to the Division of Communicable Diseases and Immunology at Walter Reed Research Institute at the Walter Reed Medical Center

in Bethesda, Md. One of the most pressing challenges Dick and his colleagues faced at the time was the ba$le against meningococcal disease, a frequent companion of armies, particularly in recruit camps during large-scale mobilizations. At that time, new outbreaks of the disease were being caused by sulfadiazine-resistant strains of Neisseria meningitides, resulting in a number of casualties. Dick subsequently investigated the immune response to the polysaccharide vaccine. Upon completing his military service, Dick was invited to further his medical research and training at the Rockefeller University in New York City from 1966-68. Subsequently, he was named Assistant Professor in the Laboratory of Cellular Physiology and Immunology at the Rockefeller University, and served as a resident physician in 1968-69. In late 1969, Dr. Roberts joined the faculty of Cornell University Medical College in New York City. For more than 40 years, he held various academic positions there, most notably as Chief of Infectious Diseases Division, Vice Chairman of Medicine, Acting Chairman of Medicine, and Associate Dean for A%liations at its Medical Center. In all, he would hold 16 academic appointments at Cornell, Sloan-Ke$ering Institute/Memorial Hospital, and the Rockefeller University. In recognition of his many annual teaching awards at Cornell,

Dr. Richard B. Roberts ’51: A Remarkable Life in Medicineby Arnie Forrest ’51

“Pro!les in Service” is dedicated to Haverford alumni who have served the United States of America in uniform and then went on to be good citizens and a credit to the School. Dr. Richard B. Roberts ’51 !ts this description to the le"er. Please read on for his inspiring story.

New Program Developments #is fall Dr. Roberts will establish a National Program for the Control and Prevention of Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease in the country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, West Indies. #is disease is a very signi!cant problem throughout the world’s resource-limited countries in the tropics, especially among children ages 5-15 years. Among the many components of the National Program is the educational component that includes multimedia elements (billboards, posters, newspapers, TV, radio, mobile devices, etc) to reach out to the 115,000 people that inhabit seven of its 32 islands, a school-based program for the 96 primary and secondary schools with over 24,000 students (ages 5-16 years), and seminars and other educational modalities for physicians and other medical personnel that man the 40 health district clinics throughout the islands.
