Wylde P. Riley died at his home in Paola, Ks., on the morning of November 10th of typhoid fever, after a short illness of only a few days. The above announcement has thrown a feeling of sadness over all of his many friends here, during the past week. Mr. Riley attended the University all of last year and in scholarship ranked among the first in the Freshman class. He again returned at the beginning of this term, to continue his studies but was only here a few days, when he was summoned home by the sudden death of his father. Since that time a brother, sister-ih-law, and two sisters have died of that same dread disease, which has taken the life of one of our best students. It is useless to speak here of the many noble qualities he possessed, which endeared him to his friends. Morally and mentally he was equally strong and had he lived the world would have been better. But death knows no laws, the good and bad, strong and weak, high and low form one common democracy and all sooner or later must answer this final summons. We can only cherish past friendship, extend sympathy to those who mourn and hope for another life, where we may meet again.
