A Sad Death
Word was received here on Tues
day of the death of Francis C. John
ston 'O3 in New Mexico last week
where had gone on his return from
the Philippine Islands in the hope of
recovery from that dread disease,
consumption, which he had con
tracted while working in Manilla.
Mr. Johnston on graduation from
State in 1903 secured a position with
the J. G. White Co., Electrical Con
tractors of New York City, and was
assigned to the city of Manilla, Philip
pine Islands. He stayed until ill
health compelled his return to this
country.
Mr. Johnston graduated with hon
ors and gave promise of making his
mark in the world had he been
spared. He was a popular man in
his class and well liked by all who
knew him. The news of his death
was a shock to his many friends
here. He was to be married in the
spring and his fiancee, who is at pres
ent in England, received the sad
news on Sunday.

discussed and it was voted to accept
the same, if suitable terms could be
arranged.
A Good Move.
The Freshman class, getting tired
of the delay of the upper classes in
adopting rules to govern the under
class scraps, took the the matterinto
their own hands .and asked a com
mittee from the Sophomore class to
confer with a committee from their
class to draw up rules to govern the
coming banquet and flag scraps.
The Sophomores sanctioned the
move and in a meeting held last
Monday evening appointed a com
mittee for this purpose.
