10 THE BLUE AND GOLD. IN MEMORIAM. JOHN EDWIN TAYLOR. When the students of the University reassembled at the close of the last Summer vacation, they were called upon to mourn in the death of Mr. Taylor, of the class of ' 76, the sad- dest loss which has yet befallen them. Mr. Taylor had, on the Fourth of July, 1875, delivered an oration at Grass Valley, and a few days after, in company with two c lassmates, he set out from that place on a hunting excursion among the lakes and mountains of Nevada County. The party had been out four days, when Mr. Taylor ' s friends were horrified to learn that he had accidentally shot himself with his own gun. The intelligence caused the greatest grief among the people of Grass Valley, who had known him from his youth, and among his fellow-students his loss was most keenly felt. Mr. Taylor had, by his kindly, genial nature, his love for truth and his strict regard for right, won for himself a host of friends, and in his class and in the University he has left a place which can- not be filled. Mr. Taylor took rank among the first scholars of his class, his tastes being decidedly for literature. Resolu- tions of regret were offered by the Faculty and the students, and, in respect to Captain Taylor, the batallion of University Cadets appeared in mourning for thirty days.

We can say for their credit, however, that most are good students, and in the end will make good college men, but they must expect to get some pretty hard knocks. As regards the various minor organizations, we cannot do better than refer you to the after pages of this volume. In conclusion, we can say that we have every reason to be proud of our young institution, and we hope that every man will try and make it what he himself desires to be, in his most ambitious moments, A light that shall be as a sun amongst other things.
