C. Harvey Kelley came to Dartmouth from Manchester, New Hampshire where he was valedictorian of his high school class. On September 27, 2005, while walking to his home in New York City he collapsed and died of a heart attack.

At Dartmouth Harvey was a philosophy major, graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and went on to Tuck. After army service he entered the insurance industry and worked in insurance, mostly in sales and sales management, until the day he died. He was with the Penn Mutual Insurance Co. for 42 years.

Harvey was intensely active as a leader of many organizations including the presidency of the New England Society, a past master of his Masonic lodge, and a trustee of the St. George Society. Together with Bob Ringstad, Harvey initiated the now-annual September '52 class luncheon in New York. About a dozen classmates attended his memorial service on October 4th.
