William Calvin Patterson.
Associated with the memories of The
Pennsylvania State College, dear as those
of ‘Old Main,” bas been the lite of WiL-
LIAM CALvIN PATTERSON. Like “Old
Main’ he was native to the environment
and, like it, rugged and stately. His was
a life so full of gentleness that none knew
him but to love ; so full of honor that mo
breath of reproach ever tainted his actions;
so full of zealous endeavor for the instito-
tion withjwhioh be was associated that bis
passing becomes a serious problem for its
management. He was one of the lew links
Tels shat connect the old with the new
regime at State and the lesson of his lile
might well be learned by those who are to
take up the burdens he bore.
A man of pre-eminent ohristian charae-
ter his every movement seemed to be ‘‘in
His stepe’’ and when the end came there
was nothing to regret, unless it were the
selfish thought that the world has so few
men like him thas it can ill afford the loss
of one. In theglory of a long and faithful
service, ripe with the fruite of hir endeav-
or, modest under the esteem sod admira-
tion of all men and right with God he laid
down a work that will remain a monu-
ment to him as long as the State's
great institution of learning stands.

bis home on east High street the past week
with what was diagnosed as a bad case of
tonsilitis, or a mild case of dipbsheria.
When the disease developed on Friday all
the children but the baby were at echool
and they were sent to the home of a rela.
tive to stay until Mr. Miller recovers, the
house thoroughly fumigated and the quar-
avtioe lifted. As thie writing Mr. Miller

immediate neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. John
Sbaw, of Blanchard,gathered at their home
on Friday afternoon and evening and gave
them a delightfal surprise party. One of
the leatures of the party was a sumptuons
chicken and waffle supper provided and
served entirely by the guests. Many pres-
ents of considerable value, as well as very
useful, were also given Mr. and Mrs. Shaw.
Considering the fact that Mr. Shaw is an
old soldier and has been an invalid for
years this act of kindness on the part of his
many [riends is all the more noteworthy
and commendable.
——On Tuesday evening the family snd
friends of Andrew J. Lytle, decided to give

was, he was induced to make a call on
his cousin, Geoffery Lytle, of Kansas, who
ie east on a visit and was stopping with
another relative. He returned home about
eight o'clock, accompanied by his cousin,
and was very much astonished to find his
houee filled with guests. But he at once
- entered into the spirit of the gathering and
was just as happy ae he is when playing
mascot to State's football team when it
scores a big victory over some proud ad-

Dear or Carr, PATTERSON.—The
death of Capt. W. C. Patterson, at his
home at State College last Saturday night,
was not only a loss to the college but a sad
blow to his many friends who only a few
days previous saw him in apparently vig-
orous manhood. The forepart of last week
be was around attending to business and
work as usual buton Wednesday evening
he was stricken with apoplexy and from
thas time on, notwithetanding she fact that
there were times when he appeared some-
what improved, it was evident thas his
death was only a question of days. From
that time he gradually but only too surely
grew weaker until death came to his re.
lief on Satuiday night.
William Calvin Patterson was a son of
Jobn H. and Mary Irvin Patterson and was
born on the old Tussey farm at Pennsylva-
nia Furoace January 31st, 1838, hence was
71 years, 8 mooths and 2 daye old. His
boyhood and youth were spent in going to
sohool sud on the farm and it was then
be laid the foundation not only of his fu-
ture education, but of the basic principles of
agrionlture which bave since been used to
an unlimited advavsage in the upbuilding
of State College. When he wae but a boy
his parents moved to Stonevalley where
they spent a few years then located ona
farm nvear Warriorsmark, Huntingdon
county, where Mr, Patterson grew to man-
hood.
It wae at that place on May 28th, 1861,
that he was united in marriage to Miss
Adaline Mattern and the very next day
he left for the seat of war, having heeded
the first call for troops and enlisted in com-
pany I, Thirty-fourth regimens Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, bester known as the
Fifth Pennsylvania reserves. He served
for three years and took pars in some of
the fiercest and most memorable battles of
the war. He was captured duriog the cam-
paign in Virgivia and for several months
was a prisoner in Libby prison. When he
was discharged from the service be was
brevetted a captain.
Upon his return from she war he went
to bis home at Warriorsmark where he re-
mained until 1870 when be located at
State College and engaged in the mercan-
tile business. In 1871 he was engaged by
the college authorities to take obarge of
the college, or experiments, farm, a position
he beld for more than thirty-eight years
and whioh in that time expanded into that
ol superintendent of buildings aud grounds.
Bus Mr. Patterson was vastly more to the
college than merely the superintendent of
its experimental farm. He was ove of the
few men to whom the oollege is indebted
for its presents growth and high standing.
When be hecame associated with its man-
agement it was an institution with less
than two hundred students but be always
had faith in its future and the best vears
of hie life were given to helping along with
the realization of hia faith. His good
judgment was always recognized by those
higher up than be in the college manage-
mens and his connsel and advice were not
only always sought but invariably wisely
followed.
And to him more than any other many a
man is indebted for having taken the fall
course at State College. For while he al-
ways gave of his good counsel to the facul-
ty aud management he gave much more to
the students who went to the college. To
them hie was a kind, wise old father and
mavy a student was helped out of a sorape
and kept in college and good standing
through the intercession of Mr. Patterson.
In tact his worth to the oollege will only
be adequately realized in the years to
come through the vacanoy his death bas
caused. During the years he was at the
colleges he served under seven official heads,
namely: Presidents Burroughs and Calder,
noting president MoKee; presidents Short-
lidge and Atherton; acting president
Beaver, aud presidens Sparks.
As be was to the college so he has been
in every walk of life and business interest.
Always the progressive, broad-minded
maa, who had integrity and uprightness as
two of his guiding stars, he lived a life
filled with usefulness to himself, his friends
and the community in which be lived.
For a number of years he was a member
of the board of directors of she First
Natioval bank, of Bellefonte. He was one
of the men most interested in the organiza-
tion of she Fires National bank of State
College and was made its president, a posi-
tion he held until bis death. He wasa
member and vice president of the Centre
county Veteran Club, a member of Capt.
Robert Foster Post, G. A. R., of State Col-
lege, and was actively oonneoted with the
organization of the Gen. James A. Beaver
Camp, Sons of Veterans. He bad a number
of private business interests in which he
also displayed the same keen foresight and
wise judgment which obaracterized his
work in connection with the college.
Se —
For many years he was a member of
the Methodist oburch, snd as one of the
board of trustees always manifested uous-
ual interest in its affairs. He was one of
she foremost in the organization of a con-
gregation and the building of the new
churoh at the college.
Mr. Patterson was nos only the youngest
bas she last surviving member of his fash-
er’s family. To mourn their loss he leaves
his widow and four children, as follows:
Mrs. Miller, wife of Rev. A. L. Miller, of
Gordon Heights, Harrisburg; Harry J.
Patterson, connected with the Maryland
experiment station; Mrs, Milton E. Me-
Donnell, of Altoons, and Mrs. J. Irving
Foster, of State College.

siding elder B. C. Connor and Revs. J. K.
