Very Brief Illness.
The death early this morning of Prof. Ed
ward T. Fristoe of the Columbian University
is . sad shock to his many friends and former
students. He has seemed in his usual health,
though after returning from the funeral Of his
mother yesterday he complained Of pain and
exhaustion, due to the heat, but nothing
serious was thought Of 1t. A physician was
called and gave relief, but he had another
attack during the night and died early this
morning.
Prof. Fristoe was born in Virginia December
16, 1880, and graduated from the Virginia Mill
tary Institute in 1s49. After spending some
years in teaching he entered the University Of
Virginia, from which he graduated in 1855. He
Immediately accepted an appointment as pro-
lessor Of mathematics and astronomy in the
Columbian University, where he remained
until 1860, when he resigned to accept similar
chair in the University of Missouri. Two
years later he entered the confederate army as
assistant adjutant general, ranking captain,
and subsequently, became colonel in the cav
airy, serving under Gen. Stirling Price.
in 1855 he returned to the Columbian Uni
versity as professor Of chemistry in both the
collegiate and medical departments. From
1872 to 1884 he was also professor of chemistry
in the National College Of Pharmacy. When
the Corcoran Scientific School Of the Column

appointed its dean and professor Of chemistry.
In 1858 he received the degree Of LID. from
William Jewell College, and in 1872 the degree
Of Ph.D. from the National College Of Phar-
macy.
Prof. Fristoe was q man Of wide learning, Of
a kindly and loving disposition, ever ready to
do favor to another, never self-seeking. His
charities were large-how large, not even his
best friends knew.
All who ever met him. either in class room or
