Boston Transcript: For many years
n feature of Colby commencement

colored janitor. This year it is a
source of regret TO not only the seniors,
but to the undergraduates, the faculty
and the friends, that Sam" or the
professor" as he is famiiiarly called,
is seriously i'll. He always attended
last chapel, and spoke words of advice
to the young men and women, but this
year Ill health prevented the customary
address, and he was not even able to
attend the exercises. But to him the
disappointment was no greater than TO-
the students, and after the service was
a close the class marched to the
home of the honored janitor, and, gath
ering In front Of the house, gave him a
hearty cheering. The sick man was
touched by the demonstration, but he
unable to say a word. In the coli
lege catalogue and the Y. M. c. A.
handbook his name appears as Samuel
Osborne, head janitor," but hat gives
idea of the energetic little colored
man, in spotless blue uniform, with
cap and silver badge, who isf loved by
Colby students and alumni, next to the
college itself.
