John William Young.

John William Young, '91, died of peritonitis in Cambridge yesterday afternoon. He was a graduate of Atlanta College, Georgia. After graduating, he remained at his university for a few years as a teacher, until wishing to fit himself better for his position, he came to Harvard to study. Entering the senior class this year, he worked hard at his studies, besides acting as a clerk every night at Auburndale. During the time that he has been at Harvard he has made many close friends who were devoted, to him during his sickness. In fact he has received the greatest attention possible ever since the beginning of his trouble. The authorities have done all in their power to make his sickness comfortable. A trained nurse was procured, and Dr. John Elliot performed an operation similar to that performed upon Mr. Sawin last year. The students themselves did all they could to add to Young's comfort. His mother came on from Chicago, and President Bumstead of Atlanta University was also with him during his sickness. Young himself was a remarkably well developed man; he had the fortune to combine great physical strength with mental qualities of an exceedingly high stamp. He will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
