fi Up: Btn. william mashingtun fgnltnn, It was with profound regret that the news of the death of the Rev. XYilliam XYashington Bolton, M..-X., reached us last -lanuary lmy means of an article which appeared in the Pacific Island Monthly in which the work of Mr. llolton at Tahiti was referred to. Although so far away, he always corresponded with us and, up to the last, was vitally interested in whatever was being achieved at the School. ' His most recent contribution In the lrllacli and Red was the Foreword which he wrote for the 1945 edition. At the some time he wrote the lleaclniaster a letter designating his Athletic Trophies to the School. Vvilliam Viiashington liolton, Kl.A., was horn in 1858 in the County of Staffordshire, England. He went to the Caius College. Cambridge, in 1870 and, after an outstanding athletic career there, took his BA. degree in 1880. In 1881 he was or- dained by the Bishop of Lichfield and for the next three years held a curacy at Stoke-on-Trent. The following year he came out to Moosomin, Saskatchewan. Canada, as a Missionary and remained there until 1887 when he was appointed Rector of St. l'aul's Ifsquimalt. It was at this time that he was induced to take over St. l'aul's School at Fscluirnalt, which he operated until 1890, when he became Rector of the Church of St. Mary The Virgin at San Francisco where he remained till 1898. In 1894 he secured leave of alisence fiom that Diocese in order to undertake an exploration expedition on Vancouver Island under the auspices of the Daily Lolonist. In 1898 he opened a small school on Belcher Avenue in Victoria and remained there until 1900 when he joined Mr. C. Barnacle in founding Cniversity School. He was closely associated with the School as XYarden until 1920 when he left for the South Pacific to act as Inspector of Schools for the New Zealand Government. In 1925 he returned to University School as Headmaster, which position he held until 1928 when he again left for the South Pacific to collect historical material for the French Government in which work he was engaged until the time of his death. Mr. Bolton was loved and respected hy all who knew him or who had any contacts with him. Now he has passed on to his rest, but the things he stood for-gentlemanly conduct and good manners: good sportsmanship and athletic ability be- cause of good physical condition-will always remain as a vital part of our School tradition. -G.l-1.5. 9
