C- P. Stewart,
A great damper has been put on the
festivities on account of the sudden
and very sad death of C. P. Stewart
of the class of 1906 and a member of
the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. It
was but last Thursday when he was
among us in the seemingly best of
health. On Thursday evening while
studying for his final exam for the next
day he was suddenly taken ill. On
Saturday evening, after enduring two
days of indescribable pain he was
placed under the knife. Although his
condition Saturday evening was very
low he appeared to rally somewhat
Sunday morning and hopes for his re
covery were raised among his class
mates. However, along in the after
noon he began sinking and in the evening
at about the time he was scheduled to
appear in a violin duet in the sacred
concert, he died.
It is impossible to discribe the grief
among his classmates with whom his
popularity was unusually great. He
took a very active part in college af
fairs, having served as vice-president
of his class, vice-president of the Y.
M. C. A., lieutenant of the battalion,
leader of the College orchestra, artist
on this year's La Vie, chairman of the
Junior Assembly Committee, and in
several other positions of honor. There
is not a man in State to-day whose
ideals and morals were higher. Very
sociable, pleasant, and unassuming,
he won the hearts and confidence of
every one with whom he came in con
tact, a fact to which his college record
will testify. To him vanity was a
total stranger : no false pride ever en
tered into his character. Who can
say one thing about him but what it is of
a noble nature ? Where can we find
another like him ? Why was not one
of us taken in his place ? In these
words of the immortal Schakesphere
we may with truth say—“ This was p.
man.”
Apropriate funeral services wer.e
field in the Auditorium at eleven o’clock
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Monday morning. The cadet battalion
acted as escort to the train. Six mem
bers of the Phi Gamma Delta Fra
ternity and four of the class of 1906
accompanied the body to Pittsburg
where the funeral will be held on
Wednesday afternoon.

The Philochorean dance held in
McAllister Hall Monday night was very
successful from every point of view.
About 150 couples tripped the light
fantastic to the excellent music fur
nished by the Comstock Orchestra
from Milton. Pa. The hall was very
simply and tastily decorated with pot
ted plants and the effect produced was
very pleasing. Mr. Housel, the caterer
for McAllister Hall furnished the re
freshments. The program consisted
of twenty dances and four extras, be
sides numerous enchoers. All those
who attended the dance were unani
mous in their belief that this was the
most enjoyable Philochoreans held in
the history of the college. Owing
to an unpardonable plunder of the en
gravers furnished an unweilding red
program. The program ordered was
of about one-half the size of the one
used.
Committee
—PRELIMINARIES,
