The following resolution on the death of Dr. O'Connor was passed by the Athletic Council:

Resolved: The sudden and untimely death of Dr. John C. O'Connor, Dartmouth 1902, has come as a great shock to the members of the Athletic Council of Dartmouth College, of which he was for three years a valued member.

Ever since his connection with Dartmouth College began in 1898, he has been rendering loyal service to her.

During his entire college course he was a member of the football team; captained it in 1901; and will go down in athletic history as one of .Dartmouth's great ends. He was head coach of football in 1907 and 1908, and a member of the Council from 1915 to 1918. At the time of his death he was the President of the Manchester Alumni Association.

He will long be remembered because of these and other honorable services; but most of all, because his life was an embodiment of all that is clean, virile, wholesome and lovable in the Dartmouth spirit. His passing leaves a gap that cannot be filled.

Resolved, further, That these resolutions shall be published in The Dartmouth and in THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and a copy thereof shall be sent to Mrs. O'Connor.
