THE ARBUTUS NINETEEN TEN LEST WE FORGET At the very beginning of the college year a heavy calamity fell upon the Arbutus -management, the class of igio, and, indeed, the entire University, when death took from among us our friend and classmate, George Frank Trimble, of Evansville. The prom- inence of the man, the love and esteem in which he was held, and the appalling sudden- ness of his death made his loss a shock from which it took days to recover. This was to have been his book. Last spring he was elected business manager of the 1910 Arbutus, a position for which his energy and high sense of responsibility and honor well fitted him. Already he had made plans for the work, and we have tried to carr r it out along the lines he suggested. Duke, as he was familiarly and affectionately called, was in his twenty-sixth year, liaving been born .April 22, 1883, in St. Lawrence, South Dakota. While yet a child, his parents removed to Evansville, Ind., where he graduated from High School in 1901. On Alay II, 1903, he matriculated at Indiana University, but the death of his father, the late William Trimble, obliged him to quit school and take charge of the farm for the ne.xt two years. He was an ail-around atlUete, playing in both football and basketball teams, and run- ning the mile for the track team. He was an enthusiastic Y. M. C. A. worker, a member of the Glee Club, and soloist at the Christian Church. On Saturday, September 25, he entered his last scrimmage with the ' varsity. A blister on his heel, caused by .the rubliing of his shoe, was giving him trouble, but with a strong man ' s contempt for pain, he disregarded it, and blood poison set in. On Wednesday he was hurried to the City Hospital, but it was too late. The skill of learned doctors, the heartfelt prayers of his innumerable friends, and the infinite love of the widowed mother for her only child, availed nothing, and on Saturday afternoon, October 22, Duke passed away. Never has . Mma Mater had a son more universally beloved. He was an energetic student, a faithful friend, a clean athlete, a loving son, and a noble Christian gentle- man. Truly may it be said of him that, Nature might stand up And say to all flic ZVOrld. ' This IVaS a man! ' Unke ' s Last Practice, taken Septeml.er 25. 1909
