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. 1906 Resolutions.
