Prof Gardiner of Smith College Killed By Auto
Dies Almost Instantly After Being Run Down as He Starts to Cross Street
Teaching Services Covered 40 Years
Struck by Machine Driven by Eugene Bergan Near John M Greene Hall, Northampton
Northampton, Dec 29 – Harry Norman Gardiner, 72, professor-emeritus of philosophy at Smith college, was almost instantly killed tonight at 6.51, when he was hit by an automobile, driven by Eugene Bergan of Harrison avenue. The accident happened in front of John M Greene hall. Prof Gardiner’s skull was broken, and he died within a few minutes of his arrival at the hospital. Dr J G Hanson and Dr E W Brown attended him. Prof Gardiner had taken tea at the home of President W A Neilson of Smith college on Paradise road and was walking to his rooms at 187 Main street. At John M Greene hall, he started to cross the street and had just stepped from the street railway track when the car hit him.
Mr Bergan reported later to Acting Police Sergeant P M Carey, at the police station, that he was driving down Elm street at a rate of 18 to 20 miles an hour. A heavy fog prevailed and Mr Bergan did not see Prof Gardiner until it was too late to avoid hitting him. He swerved the car toward the middle of the street, but the mud guard knocked Prof Gardiner down. Mr Bergan was accompanied by his brother, Carl, and they put Prof Gardiner into their car and took him to the Dickinson hospital. Prof Gardiner was unconscious from the moment he was hit and was hardly breathing when he reached the hospital.
Prof Gardiner’s service to Smith college covered a period of 40 years. An, at the time of his retirement he had long been head of the department of philosophy. The prominence he gained in his profession is shown by his membership and official service in the psychological and philosophical societies, and his contributions to periodicals. He was graduated from Amherst college with high honors, and received the degree of M A from Amherst in 1885. His college fraternity was Psi Upsilon. Upon his retirement from active service at Smith college, the degree of doctor of humane letters was conferred upon him by President W A Neilson at the commencement exercise of 1924.
Prof Gardiner was endowed with a marked literary gift and it was announced at the time of his retirement that he would write a history of Smith college. It had not been published, but it is understood that he had continued with the work. He was a member of the Century club of New York and of the Amherst College club of New York. The close friendship between Prof Gardiner and Rev Dr P H Gallen of Dalton, formerly of Florence, is recalled by the dedication of Dr Gallen’s book, “How Popes Are Chosen and Other Essays” to “Prof Gardiner, gentleman, scholar and (Continued on Second Page)
Prof H N Gardner of Smith College Killed by Auto
(Continued from First Page)
philosopher, in memory of a long friendship.”
Prof Gardiner had a wide circle of friends in the community, as well as in the college group and among scholars outside. He was reserved, but nevertheless friendly, and generous with the stores of a brilliant mind when occasion served. He was active in the First church and a deacon there and he was vice=-resident of the Nonotuck Savings bank.
When Calvin Coolidge retired from the position of secretary of the board of trustees of the People’s institute, Prof Gardiner was elected to succeed him. The only relative of Prof Gardiner known here is Mrs Hilda (Edwards) Hamlin of Paris, a niece, who is a graduate of Smith college and lived at the Crafts house on Crafts avenue, where Prof Gardiner also lived, during her college course. President Neilson cable Mrs Hamlin tonight. Prof Gardiner was unmarried.
