STAFF:
EDITOR,
IT is with deep sorrow that we an
nounce the death of Geo. R. John
son, a former member of’9l. Mr. John
son was known among us as a gentle
man of high Christian character, who
had no enemies, who showed pre-emi •
nently that his aim was to please all with
whom he came in contact. When one
year ago he was compelled by circum
stances to engage in business, and to
discontinue his college work, his class
mates and friends felt that they had lost
a companion whose place could not easi
ly be filled. Now the thought comes
forcibly to us, that not only we, but the
community in which he lived, has lost a
young man of .high attainments, whose
excellent course of life was indicative of
a bright and useful future.
Mr. Johnson was an athlete of note,
being an able member of our football
team. During his last year at college,
as the older students know, he was en
gaged as Business Manager of the Free
Lance, which position he filled with
honor.
