EXETER, N.H. - A memorial service for Hamilton “Hammy” Bissell, 89, of West Caldwell, N.J., will be here at 2 p.m. Dec. 8 in the Exeter Congregational Church.
Mr. Bissell, who died Friday at home, had been a director, teacher and coach at Phillips Exeter Academy, regarded as one of the nation’s leading private schools,
He came to Exeter in 1933 as an English instructor. He coached the school’s varsity crew team from 1936 to 1948. In 1946, he was appointed Exeter’s first director of scholarship students. In this position, he was charged with developing a program to introduce Exeter to young boys who were “long on brains and short on cash.”
For more than 25 years, he traveled the United States searching for people who could help the Academy identify prospective scholarship students. Quite often these people were the circulation manager of a regional newspaper, who knew his carriers, or the director of the Boys Club or a junior high school principal. The program became known as the “Newsboy” scholarship.
Almost 800 men, including the school’s current head of the board of trustees, call themselves “newsboys.”
In 1961, Mr. Bissell was appointed secretary of Phillips Exeter Academy Alumni, a position he held until retiring in 1976.
After his retirement, he remained active in the Exeter community, coaching squash and taking special assignments for the school’s alumni office.
Mr. Bissell graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard in 1933. While at Harvard, he was the coxswain of the famous “Cassidy” crews, stroked by the late Jerry Cassidy, which never lost a Harvard-Yale boat race. He also was a member of the Owl Club.
Born in India, he lived in West Newton, Mass., and Exeter before moving to West Caldwell last year.
Surviving are a son, the Honorable John W. “Jack” Bissell of Wayne, N.J.; a daughter, Mrs. Nancy Goldcamp, and two grandchildren.
