Edward Anson Seeley.

Edward Anson Seeley, of the class of 1890, was accidentally shot last week while out hunting and died, within a few hours.

At college Seeley was known as a painstaking and industrious student. He took an unusually large number of courses, and distinguished himself by getting honorable mention in Mathematics. But few people realized how hard he struggled to support himself. By great exertions he managed to lay by enough to enable him to graduate. He never, however, received his diploma. The little sum so dearly earned was lost, but through no fault of his. Too pround to accept a loan offered by a classmate, he left college and took a position as assistant engineer on the C. B. and Q. R. R. Here he had many intricate problems to solve, and his success won for him the highest praise. When the engineer corps was discharged, Seeley went with the others.

Seeley was given excellent letters by his superiors and went to St. Paul. Then occurred the fatal accident. As he was returning from a hunting trip one of his companions, while shifting a shot gun from one shoulder to the other, accidentally fired it. The charge severed the main artery of the leg and Seeley died from loss of blood. He lived long enough to give the address of his parents and of the college professors.

Capable, independent, industrious, he had accomplished much in his short career, and his prospects for the future were of the brightest.
