Morse G. Dial ’47

Morse, who served as a Navy pilot during World War II, died May 26, 2010.

He graduated in 1949, married Mary Taylor in 1951, and received his Columbia law degree in 1953. He joined Union Carbide and rose through the ranks to become a vice president and secretary of the corporation.

After retiring he and Mary moved to a home in Clayton, N.Y., overlooking the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and Canada’s spectacular Thousand Islands.

Morse established a foundation bearing his name. He gave generously to local institutions, and was especially honored by Cornell University for a major grant to its performing arts center.

With admiration for Morse’s achievements, we extend our best wishes to Mary, their four children, and four grandchildren.
