University Aviator Dead

Word has been received of the death from consumption at the American Hospital in Paris, of Richard Blynn Varnum, a holder of one of the American Field Service Fellowships for French Universities. A University man, who received a war degree in 1920, Varnum was studying International Law at the University of Toulouse when he became ill with malarial fever, which he had first contracted in war service in the Balkans.

Varnum was a factor in the flying activities of the University, and took part in the intercollegiate aero meet in June, 1920, and was granted an American Field Service Fellowship for his "scholastic record, fine character, and dependability in every respect."
