Patrick Zllalsb. ONE night, many years ago, in old Hesperia, when the motion before the house embodied a request on one jew of the professors for his picture to hang on the walls, somebody observed that --we hadn't Pat's picture. Whereupon honest featured Alex. Flemington arose to add to the motion a request on the genial janitor for his picture also. We sat around in tolerant and amused groups, while some over-wise but erring youth raised the objection that the dignity of the Fac- ulty was concerned in this indiscriminate selection. But when the motion was put it was carried with such ac- claim that the secretary re- corded it as unanimous. The boys had not yet gone out into the world of petty social distinctions, where they were constrained to think at times otherwise than that The man's the gowrl for a' that. This was always the attitude of the students and the alumni toward our old janitor. They had him classed with the best beloved of the professors, not thinking at all of the position of the janitor, but always of the sterling qualities of the man. When I read in the accounts of Pat's funeral last November that all University exercises were suspended, that President Adams and forty members of the Faculty and many students marched in a body from Library Hall and attended the funeralg that the pall-bearers were Professors Birge, Gregory, Parkinson, Daniells and Williams and E. F. Riley, Secretary of the Board of Regents, I felt that, after all, the University but honored itself in paying such honors to its old janitor. Indeed, it is gratifying to note, in these times, when we are said to be losing our democratic sturdiness, the sincerity of this tribute to a man, whatever his position, and to a blameless life rather than to great possessions. Patrick Walsh was with the university from 1361 to 18979 he bade farewell to the students who left their classes to go to the war, welcomed them back under Johnson's administration, and saw their sons and daughters graduate in the 9O's. He was the link that bound the old with the new,a more than honorary member of every class, a personal friend of every former student who wandered back over the old hill. Every graduate and thousands ofthe old students of the University knew Pat and always paid him their respects on visiting the University. I-le never forgot the boys who left the University, and his welcome to them was that kindly, genial Irish greeting that the returning student does not forget. I am told that the alumni never sent out a notice that had a heartier response than that for the fund which gave old Pat his jaunt to Ireland in 1893. When we come together and talk of the familiar and kindly memory of Patrick Walsh, the old boys are always reminded of incidents, and one anecdote suggests another, Particularly the lads who inhabited the former dormitories are full of these yarns, many of which, I am forced to say, would not look as funny in print 36
