For the tears that came that day.
Nor glow in the west, nor aspen tree, _

In the sweet calm ofa glorious sum-

? A. Patterson shook off its earthly fet—
iters and winged its ﬂight to Paradise.
‘For many weary days, and nights he
had lingered upon a bed of suffering,
but loving hands smoothed his pillow
‘ and did all that tender solicitude could
, desire for the relief of the stricken one.
A gentle mother watched unceasingly
beside his couch; a devoted father,
whose heart yearned over his be—
loved son, _ and a deeply at-
tached uncle, were ever near to min-
. ister unto his every wish. But all
in vein is human love and solicitude
when the Master calls our loved ones.
Seldom has it been our duty to chron-
icle the death of one so dearly' loved.
An only child, he was the idol in the;
home where his smile made the sun-
shine, and beloved also by a wide cir-
cle, his loss will be deeply felt. He,
possessed besides a lovable disposi-i
tion, a brilliant intellect and :1 ready
wit, which made for him Irizmy ardent
admirers. It seems hard indeed that

he should die in the very springtime
of his youth and usefulness, but God
willed it so, and may the sorely
stricken ones learn to say, “Thy will
be done!”

The Deceased.

The death of Prof. William Andrew
Patterson, the son and only child
of Prof. and Mrs. James K.
Patterson, of the Kentucky A.
and M. College, will be heard with.
deep sorrow by the entire communlty. 3
He died at his parent’s home in the

State College grounds yesterday after-

noon at half past 5 o’clock. The
cause of his death was appendicitis,-
from which he has been a sufferer fOr
several years. An operation was
performed last Saturday by Drs. Bar-
row and Skillman. of this city, and
Dr. McMurtry, of Louisville. The
operation was a successful 0ne,-but the-
ravages of the disease had been so
great as to greatly eufeeble Lhe patient
and he had not suﬂicient strength for
the ordeal.

The death of Prof. Patterson will
doubtless cause a change in’ the pro-
gramme of commencement week ex
ercises of the State College. The

Alumnius banquet which had been set-
for this evening has already been can-
celed. and the class day exercises set
for Wednesday will probably also be
abandoned. The members of the
faculty will meet this, morning at
10 E30 o’clock to consider what to do
concerning the graduation exercises for
Thursday. It was suggested that
nothing be- done beyond delivering thew
diplomas, but it is likely that :the
exercises will be gone‘ through with,
though shortened, and the musical
feature eliminated.

William A. Patterson. The following
expression of their sorrow was spread
on the minutes of the college:

The faculty of the State College of
Kentucky desire to give affectionate
expression of their sorrow at the death‘
of their young friend, Prof. William
A. Patterson, and to commemorate in

. their records his fine intellectual gifts

and loving heart, and his brief but
honorable service as a teacher of
youth.

All of us cherished for him a most
friendly regard, and from some of us
who had known him longest and had
been his teachers or his fellow pupils
before were his colleagues in the facul-
ty, he had won an enduring friend-
ship and a deep interest in his life

‘ and character and. opening profession-

al career.

" Blessed are the pure. in heart: for they shall see
0d.”

We will hold him evermore in se-
cred end loving memory, and never
cease to be touched with the pathos
of his trying sickness and his early
death. His sun has gone down, while
it is yet, morning. .

To his father, our presiding ofﬁcer
and cherished friend, what can we
say at this sad time? The poverty of
human speech forbids an adequate
expression of the sympathy we have
3with him and his wife in this over-
whelming bereavement. We stand
awed and. reverent in the presence of
the unutterable sorrow of the stricken
father and mother as they mourn the
loss of their child, the desire of their
souls, and, as best we can, commend
them to the mercy and guidance of
the Lord their Maker and Redeemer,
and to the consolation of that death-
less hope which He bids us all to cher-
ish in the darkest hours.
