Died.
To the barb faction on Wednesday evening, April 3, at 9:30, George M. Culver, aged 15 years, 186 months. He will be interred in the Beta Theta Pi cemetery, where Wooglin will watch over his sad remains. In his demise the barbs have sustrained a great loss; their leader has fallen; the crown which they had placed upon his head has been rudely thrust aside, and they feel deserted and lost. Mr. Culver fought bravely for "students Associations" and for the "dear barbs," he helped on the Times and had a big finger in the new Oratorical Association and has now gone to reap the reward of his labors at the hands of those who have so fairhfully watched over, guarded and guided him in his praise-worthy, disinterested, noble efforts. Peace to his ashes. To the sad-eyed barbs who have been so rudely deserted, we extend our heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of bereavement.
