3n JUrmortam It was with profound regret that the faculty and students received the news of the passing of William Williams, former member of our Board of Trustees for more than thirty years. He succeeded his father Charles Augustus Williams, who had served as president of the Board from 1833 to 1900. Mr. Williams who spent his youth in attaining knowledge and devoted the span of manhood to the application of that knowledge for the benefit of mankind, exemplified the model scholar and educator. Both as an interested member of the Board, and as a generous benefactor of the school he has helped to carry out the wishes of his aunt, Harriet Peck Williams, founder of Williams Memorial Institute. 6

 3n JHnttoriam The death of Frank L. McGuire, a member of our Board of Trustees for more than twenty years, brought grief to all members of the student body and faculty, as well as to the community at large. Attorney McGuire thoroughly believed in preserving the standards and traditions of our school, although he was alert to modern changes which would benefit our Alma Mater. His association with the Board was no small factor in maintaining good will between the city and the school. W. M. I. will miss his kindly interest and good counsel. 7
