THE UNIVERSITY HONORS THE MEMORY OF THE CHANCELLOR EMERITUS.

With the flag floating at half mast over U Hall the University community is reverently turning its thoughts towards the life work of the Chancellor Emeritus who after many years of suffering is now at rest.

Professor W. F. Dann, who as an Ohio boy walked many miles across the country to Grandville to advise with President Andrews as to whether he should take a college education and who knew him intimately during his college days has been selected as the most appropriate representative of the University of Nebraska to be present at the interment of Dr. Andrews in the old cemetery on the Denison campus where the builders of that University have been laid to rest.

Immediately after receiving a telegram from Dr. Andrews' secretary, Miss Phelps, Chancellor Avery sent the following telegram:

"Entire University joins with me in expressing heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Andrews and Guy. We are planning to send an old time friend to represent Nebraska at funeral and to hold memorial exercises here

In reply to the following telegram has just been recieved from Dr. Andrews' son Guy:

"Funeral services for my father Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews will be held at the Baptist Church Granville Ohio at two o'clock Tuesday November sixth. Interment to follow in Denison memorial cemetery."

Arrangements are progressing for a special memorial convocation to be held if possible at the time of the funeral at Granville. Chancellor Avery, a representative of the alumni and a representative of the Baptist Church in which Dr. Andrews was a prominent leader will probably give short addresses. Mrs. Raymond will be in charge of the music.

The University community is glad that it took occasion to honor Chancellor Andrews during his long and tedious sickness. Some years ago the present Chancellor proposed a tablet in his honor to be placed in the Temple building. The idea met with universal approval but it seemed inappropriate to ask the tax payers of the state to pay the expense and it was felt that a canvass even for small subscriptions would be distasteful to Dr. Andrews. As the suggestion of Professor Grummann however the class of 1915 gladly adopted the plan of erecting it as their class gift. Professor Grummann and Professor Barbour acted with Chancellor Avery as a committee in securing an appropriate tablet. The last letter recieved at the Chancellor's office from Dr. Andrews showed his appreciation of this act and is now given for the first time to the public.

Interlachep, Fla.

Sept. 5, 1916.

My dear Chancellor Avery:

I am in reciept of your highly valued letter of the first telling of the commemorative bronze to be placed in the Temple by the class of 1915 and enclosing a facsimilie.

Please accept my hearty thanks for the letter and enclosure and for your large part in conceiving the plan for such a memorial initiating the movement and seeing it thru. If and when you have opportunity will you
kindly convey to the class and to Professor Grummann assurance of my fullest gratitude for their co-operation? You and they have united to honor me in a way peculiarly gratifying. Aside from all personal feeling I am greatly pleased with the tablet - its beautiful simplicity and its concise phraseology.

With best wishes ever for yourself and for the University,

Yours,

(SIGNED) E. Benjamin Andrews.
