li! mwtoriam. me Ashbell Fairchild Simpson was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, October l9, l880, and received his early education in the common schools. Later he attended Mount Pleasant Institute, from which he gradu- ated. ln the fall of i902 he came to Denison, entering as a freshman and bringing with him that strong and interesting personality which won for him the high place that he holds in our hearts. He was ever an enthusiastic and loyal member of the class of l906, and many of the students, for which that class is famous, were inspired by Ab's ready wit and inge- nuity. ln the class room, as in all other realms of college activity, he made an enviable record for his intelligence and capacity for work. His fun-loving disposition often helped to brighten the dull round of duty, and many a good-natured prank could be attributed to Ab's inventive genius. His eamest, cheerful Christian life was an inspiration to his fellow-students, and when he entered that bitter struggle for life he suffered with such bravery and patience that he Won the admiration and respect of all. When the end came it seemed almost a cause for rejoicing that peace had come to a tired spirit. g ln the College Cemetery, near the old buildings which held so many happy memories for him, he was laid to rest for the last time. Many esteemed him, more loved him, but to us all it is given to cherish his memory as long as these dearest of remembrances--the joys and sorrows of college days- shall live. PAGE FIVE
