Excerpt from Trinity College School Record, Vol. 32: December 15th, 1928

He was one of the most popular boys of his period, on account of his kindly disposition and generous spirit. This popularity followed him throughout his future life, and he has always inspired affection in his as sociates, from time to time.

He had the great distinction of winning the Open Championship in Track Athletics in 1888, although he was eligible for the fifteen-year and under class, which corresponded nearly with the Junior School of today. This was considered a great achievement, especially as he was competing with boys three and four years older than himself.

The last few years of his life had been painful, as he suffered severely from rheumatism, and his death is really a happy release. Up to the last, however, he maintained his cheery outlook and fortitude.
