from Universalist families will be glad
to know that the pastor of the city
church is in close touch with their chill
dren in the college.
The death of Orrin G. Holcomb,
class '93, formerly of Cedar Rapids. Ia,
came with shock of pain to his many
friends. He died OF typh old fever at
Atlantic City, whittier he had gone
from his teaching at Philadelphia when
first taken ill. He was instructor in
Literature in the Neff School of Oratory.
On account of Mr.. Holcomb's fine &C.
complishments in music, he was better
known in Akron social circles than most
students ever come to be.
News has just been received at the
college of the sudden death at New
Whatcom. Wash, of Frank S. Grandin,
of the class of 'S5. Particulars of the
sad event have not been received. He
was i'll only two days. His wife, Mary
G. Krenzke. of the same class, accom-
panied the body to the former home,
Tidioute, Pa, for burial.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Schumacher,
now of Chicago, both of the class of '85.

boy and girl. "Oel and Abby" always
did go in for high marks!
The College Glee and Mandolin
Clubs are drilling, not with the inten-
ton of making trips away from the col
lege, but to appear at entertainments
given by the college interests.
Mr.. Al. Spanton, a special student,
won the honor of representing the col
lege in the oratorical contest to be held
| at Cleveland, February 10Th. The home
contest was among four boys and two
girls and was very spirited. Mr.. Span.
ton is a fine student. as we'll as grace
full speaker. He has been in the col
lege three years and plans to go to the
Divinity School at Tufts.
