Deat'h of Captain Tilley

A. H. Tilley '13, captain-elect of the Dartmouth track team, died suddenly at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital on the evening of July 5. An attack of appendicitis which developed peritonitis was the cause of death. Dependent upon, his own resources for his education, Tilley yet found time to make a large circle of devoted friends, and to develop himself as an athlete of the first rank. He was captain of his freshman track team, and, in subsequent years, as member of the varsity, was a frequent point winner. He made his reputation in the hammer throw, in which event he held the New England record.

Tilley represented the sturdy Dartmouth type, honest, purposeful, quietly self-reliant. He will be sorely missed from the track team which had chosen him for its leader during the coming year; he will be still more missed by the whole student body, who had come to look upon him with deep affection and respect.
