3n iflemonnm The state suffered an almost irreparable loss in the death of Owen Francis Burger, D.Sc., on Janu ary 26, 1925. Dr. Burger, who was plant patholo gist of the florida Agricultural Kxperiment Sta« tion and the State Plant Board, had greatly bet tered the agricultural conditions of the state, and he -was conducting experiments which would have improved them still more. He was a deeply rcli gious man and one greatly liked and admired by all who came into contact with him. ti ts 'William Wiley Hollingsworth, Ph.D., was a man of tolerance, deep sympathy, and extreme generosity. Dr. Hollingsworth had been an in structor at the University since 1925, his especial field being local and state politics. His two hob bies, he often declared, were political science and baseball, and he was a close student of both. He was exceptionally popular with his students and his death on January 1, 1925 came to them as a great shock. iwkb

Death. l e not proud, though some hare railed thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou are not so: For those u hom thou tfurthest thou dost overthrow Die not. poor Death: nor yet const thou hill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy picture be. Much pleasure: then from thee much more must flow: And soonest our best men with thee do go Rest of their lames and souls delivery: Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings anil desperate men. And dost with poison, rear, and sickness dwell And better than thy stroke. Why duel lest thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And death shall be no more: Death thou, shall die. John Donne.
