Class of 1933

Roy Kuebler was born in Shamokin, Pennsylvania on October 10, 1911 to Roy R. Kuebler and Tillye Cleaver Traub. He entered Dickinson College with the class of 1933 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. While at the College he was the president of Omicron Delta Kappa, a member of the Microcosm editorial staff, and the treasurer of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.

After studying library science at Columbia University, Kuebler began his career at his alma mater as a library assistant from 1933 to 1935. He was then named the assistant treasurer and superintendent of grounds and buildings in 1935 and held that position until 1941. At this point he embarked upon nearly fifteen years of punctuated service in the mathematics department, rising to the rank of associate professor. The longest interruption in his Dickinson career lasted from July 1942 to April 1946 during his war service as a captain in the equipment intelligence section of the Ordnance Corps. He saw duty in Leyte, Okinawa, and Korea, earning the Bronze Star along the way. Another hiatus stemmed from his leave to study at the University of Pennsylvania during 1947-1948 to earn his master's degree in mathematics. In 1950 he returned as acting dean of the College when Professor Russell Thompson's health waned.

Egloff von Tippelskirch was a German exchange student who spent a year at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania under the auspices of the Institute of International Education and received a degree with the class of 1933. The following year saw Jurgen von Oertzen arrive on a similar program.

Born in Charlottenburg on June 5, 1913 near Brandenburg in northern Germany, Tippelskirch attended boarding school at Dahlen, outside of Berlin. He went on to the Universities of Berlin and Freiburg where he took his law examinations before arriving in Carlisle. In the words of the Dickinsonian, "a tall and unassuming boy," he studied American criminal law and history while at the College. He returned to Berlin and ultimately earned his doctorate.

According to reports from his family, Egloff von Tippelskirch served in the German Army on the eastern front where he was captured. He died in February 1946 in a Russian prisoner of war camp. His name does not appear on the Dickinson Second World War plaque in Memorial Hall.
