PAUL OLMSTEAD SAMSON. 



The Forestry Club suffered a real loss when Samson drowned in the 

 "Big Sister" Lake, on Field Day, May 17, 1913. 



Samson was born at 'Le Roy, N. Y., Nov. 17, 1892, where his parents 

 still reside. Besides his parents, he leaves a 'brother, Henry P. Samson, 

 who is a student at the U. S. iNiaval Academy at Annaipolis. Samson enter- 

 ed the University in 1910, his mind fully made up to the .work of the for- 

 est. He was a boy of rare qualities; a well-built, hardy, active lad /with an 

 even temper, cheerful disposition, plenty of sense, .courage and persever- 

 ance. A devoted son, an excellent companion, and a good and lovable stu- 

 dent. 



Though he just entered fulil manhood, ihe preserved many of those 

 delightful qualities of the confiding, happy child. To know him was to 

 love him, and he made friends where-ever he went. Samson was a worker, 



a man of details, and it was a pleasure to see him go over from Room 

 407 to the "Office," light his little pipe, and sail into a bunch of "Foresters" 

 or get out '"dope" for Professor Spon-sler. He was ever ready to help in the 

 Clu'b, and whatever he was at, he worked with a will, with a head, and 

 with that smile that seemed to say: "It is a good world, a worthy task, and 

 lots of fun." The Club, the School, the world was richer for having him; 

 we loved him, we treasure 'his memory, and we sorrow his loss.
