Wallace Holloway Steele

The loss of Wallace Steele is feit very deeply by the people of this city and of the University. Death by disease is seldom so sudden. During the summer he had been in apparent good health, and had greatly enjoyed his vacation, spending mnch time in the open air, riding daily ibout the city of Detroit, where Rev. Dr. Steele, his father, resided for some months. On returning to Ann Arbor, about a fortnight before his death, Wallace was a little out of health, a physician was called, and neeming relief obtained. On the Thursdy before his death he was not quite trell, and on Friday and Saturday the physician told his parents that recovery could not be expected far some montns, but as late as Saturday afternoon the physician advised Dr. Steele that there was no reason that he s hould take up his engagement for Sunday in Detroit and remain at home. Between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning, the ninth, the symptoms of acute disease first appeared, and death lowed on the morning of Monday, the tenth, at half past eleven. In the University Mr. Steele was a member of the class of ninety, Bachelor of Science in chemistry. He was a very attentive student, exact in his preparation, Bever deficiënt, full of interest, disposed to thoughtful inquiry, and able to oarry his werk with ease. His term essay in the course in organic chemistry, on "manufacture of oxalid acid," was quite suitable, both in material and in form, to be placed in publication. In the laboratory he was intent in his operation?, belpful to those about him, and genial with all his comrdes. To the working members of the Student'8 Christian asociation his departure will be a distinct loss. He was buried in Elmwood cemetery in Detroit, September 14, with service by Rev. D. M. Cooper and Rev. J. F. Dickie. It was a golden autumnal day ; the tomb was enclosed by a wide bank of fragrant evergreen, and over all werestrewn bright flowers speakinj? of love and hope and eternal life. Officers and members of Jefferson avenue and Memorial Presbyterian churches, friends of Dr. Steele, received the funeral cortege, gathered around the place of burial, and joined with tearful sympathy in the service. It was a time to be remembered Lor the solemn beauty of the earth, and remembered for the strength which the earth _cannot give and cannot take away.
