A He belongs to the history of the State he loved SO well, but he also belongs, in a peculiar and intimate sense, to the sons Of the University wherever they may be. TO them his sweet and gentle spirit still lives on, though his physical pres ence be missed among them. All that Carolina means to them is infinitely richer and more precious because Of what he did and was.
