Albert C. Metcalf, registrar and business manager of the college, passed away shortly after Christmas. He served faithfully and well, and the students at MacMurray repaid him with their friendship. Mr. Metcalf attended the public schools of Jackson- ville and was graduated from Illinois College with the class of 1901. From that time until 1909 he was superin- tendent of the brass furnace department of Western Tube company at Kewonee. hie was called to Jacksonville in 1909 for service at the Illinois Woman ' s college, and had been its business manager since that time. hie was secretary of the board of trustees of the col- lege, and secretary of the faculty. Mr. Metcalf was president of the board of trustees at Centenary Methodist church, also serving as superintend- ent of the Sunday school, hie was a member of the Rotary club, treasurer and director of the Jacksonville Savings and Loan association, and had been active in Scouting here for more than ten years. He served as a member of the board of education of the Jacksonville public schools, and was a member of the Jacksonville park board for many years. His absence will long be felt on the campus where he capably served so many years, not only in his official ca- pacity, but also OS a friend and comrade of the students and faculty.
