DEATH or PROFESSOR BINGHAM

The death Of Professor Herbert Bing-
ham principal of the Presbyterian
fli~5 Saaaol Of North Carolina at
Aeit,.c, has brought sorrow and sad
mess TO many throughout the State,
Who we're personal friends, or VINO had
had hoped FOR great coed to be accom-
plished by means Of his able and Chris
tan instruction.
Professor Bingham was born August
IS. 1872, at Bingham School. Orange
county, near Mebane N. c., and passed
away October is, 1896, at the early age
o. "a years He was educated first at
the Bingham School, which was found
ed in 1898 by William Bingham, his
great-grandfather and fourished dur
ing succeeding years under the care
Of his ancestors. His father was Col.
William Bingham, author of ''Bing-
hams Latin Grammar and other
books, and for years principal of Bing-
hams School. His mother was, before
her marriage, Miss Owen White, of
Raleigh.
Professor Bingham entered the Uni
versity of North Carolina in the year
1880, and enjoyed while there, the con-
fidence of the faculty, the warm friend
strip of the students, the closer ties OF
his Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and the
honor of being member of Alpha
Theta Phi.
After graduating Mt the University,
he spent some months abroad, return
ing in the autumn of 1895, to begin his
work in the Presbyterian High School
Of North Carolina
Professor Bingham brought to the
advancement of his chosen work a brill
liant intellect, ripe scholarship, great
moral force, and a character of unusual
strength and purity.
He had early developed a sound
Christian faith, being received into the
communion of the Presbyterian church
at the age of twelve years. When TWEEN
ty-three years old, in December, 1895,
in his church at Mebane He
professions and obligations and
was an earnest but quiet and UNI
ostentatious Christian worker. One of
his most striking characteristics was Il
gentle, loving nature, and great per-
sonal magnetism. One felt respect,
affection and confidence in him on
uTSb dEtl anu ii DGbUNT kIhONI-
edge only served to strengthen the i'm
preston first formed. He had common
sense, tact, and knowledge of men to
a remarkable degree, but neither his
conscience nor his life had been scared
by the sin and impurity of the world.
With thankfulness, he enjoyed the
good gifts of God, but he never touched
the forbidden pleasures of the world.
There was a lighter-so TO speak
brighter side to his character which
was shown by the unaffected interest
which he took in out-of-door sports,
and his keen appreciation of the ludi-
erous. This latter trait was evidenced
by his affection for some of his books,
Of which robin Hood, ''Uncle Re-
mus" and the writings of Mark Twain
were among his fayorites.
After a brave and patient struggle
OF eleven weeks against the rayages Of
typhoid fever, he quietly and peacefully
passed away.
On October II his remains were car
ried by the hands of loving friends to
their last resting place in Mebane cem-
etery. DIR. Thomas Hume, of Chapel
