Elmer Whittier Card died at Beardstown, Ill., July 4, 1912. He was born in Dover, N. H., May 2, 1884, being son of Edwin P. Card. After graduation he was an assistant teacher in the high school at Lancaster, N. H., for a year, and then one year with the Western Electric Company in Chicago. In 1908 he became connected with the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad Company at the Chicago offices. In 1910 he was made traveling auditor for this company. Death was due to apoplexy; he was found unconscious in his room at Bardstown, Ill., and died in one day. He is survived by his parents and three sisters. Card was of a very quiet and unassuming disposition, always standing on the side of right, and interested in any movement looking towards the uplift of principles or the betterment of conditions of men among whom he was placed. Those who knew him best had many evidences of his sincerity and eagerness to carry his share of the load.

Chester Myron Lawrence, non-graduate, with the aviator Horace Kearny, started December 14 for a flight in a hydroaeroplane over the ocean from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Fragments of the aeroplane and of clothing which were washed ashore a few days later at Los Angeles prove that disaster overtook them soon after starting, but the exact circumstances of their death will, probably always remain unknown. Lawrence was born in New York twenty-six years ago, and his parents died when he was a child. He went to Los Angeles about five years ago, and had been employed on newspapers there. He was married about two years since to Miss Blanche Robertson, daughter of a banker at Ontario, Cal. He was a member of Sigma Chi, and was to have been banqueted by members of the fraternity on his arrival in San Francisco.
