THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 57 



George Dart, a graduate and a life member of this College, died suddenly 

 on Wednesday, ]\Iay 22, 1912, his death resulting from the running down of 

 an automobile truck on which he was riding by an engine of the Erie Railroad 

 at one of the railroad crossings at Tuxedo Park, New York. 



Mr. Dart was liorn at Shokan, Ulster County, New York, on January 7, 

 1861, the son of Isaac C. and Rhoda Dubois Dart. Early in his life the family 

 removed to Highland, New York, where his father practiced medicine for many 

 years. 



He received his early education in the public schools of Highland and later 

 in Pelham' Institute, Poughkeepsie, where after leaving school in 1878 he entered 

 the employ of Webb & Sherwood, druggists of that place, remaining with them 

 and their successor, E. Bolton, until 1881, when resolving to perfect himself 

 in the drug business he obtained a position in a Brooklyn pharmacy, and in the 

 fall of that year matriculated as student in the College of Pharmacy of the City 

 of New York, from which he graduated with honors in the class of 1883, 

 receiving the silver medal awarded by the Alumni Association that year. 



While attending college he was in the employ of Tarrant & Co., of New 

 York City, and upon his graduation became head clerk in the pharmacy then 

 owned by Geo. B. Wray, of Yonkers. For several years he conducted the phar- 

 macy at the Hotel Kaaterskill in the Catskills during the summer season. 



In 1886 the Lorrillard family was laying out Tuxedo Park where Mr. Dart 

 obtained the privilege for a drug store, and entered business on his own account 

 in that model village. The business was a success from the start, and in 1888 

 while retaining his Tuxedo Store he successfully managed the Lawrence & Co. 

 Pharmacy on Broadway, corner of 30th Street, New York, until it was satis- 

 factorily disposed of. 



In the fall of 1888 he married Jennie B. Woodin, of Newburgh, New York, 

 who with a son, George Stanley, survive him. 



Mr. Dart was not only a fine pharmacist, but was also a man of unusual 

 business ability, so that upon the formation of the Tuxedo Stores Cmpany in 

 1894 to supply residents of the park and village with meats, fish, groceries, 

 feed, dry goods, etc., he was offered the position of (ieneral Manager which he 

 accepted on his own terms, which provided for a competent salary and for his 

 being permitted to subscribe for a stated portion of the capital stock. This 

 business he conducted in a highly successful manner in addition to his pharmacy 

 up to the time of his untimely decease, the Company under his able management 

 paying dividends from' the first year, while its tangible assets at time of his 

 death amounted to many times the amount of the capital originally paid in.
