George Qhemberg. , ' MONG those of Olivet's children, who returned last Commencement Q to look again upon familiar scenes and to meet in friendly inter- course, companions of their College days, no one was more warmly welcome than George Chambers. For two long years he had struggled nobly for life, among surroundings not always agreeable, and far from those most interested in his welfare. A change of climate and all that science could suggest had been tried, but health had not beenrestored, and he had returned to Olivet to die. Late in the Fall of 1884, Mr. Chambers first came among us and entered the class of 1890. , Possessed of excellent natural ability and of that spirit of perseverance, which makes failure impossible, he soon gained the admiration both of stu- dents and professors. By close application and faithful effort, he succeeded in graduating a year in advance of his class, having won every honor of his course. For his upright life and noble manhood, was beloved by many friends, and respected by all who knew himg and when, in his Senior year, he made a profession of his Christian faith, none doubted the sincerity of his pur- pose. The news of his death at Battle Creek, july mth, although not entirely unexpected by his friends, fell like a dark cloud upon this community. There came, too, a feeling of inexpressible sadness, when we thought of the history of the life that had so quietly slipped away. And when, upon the following Sunday, all that remained of this, one of Olivet's most loyal sons, was borne from the Society hall, for which he had long planned, and which seemed most like home to him, and was laid at rest forever, a new tie bound together, in sympathy and sad rememberance of George Chambers, the hearts of classmates, brothers and friends. ,.,, .n ..,-V- ' ' N r
