A. G. Eborall

 Arthur George Eborall of Walton on Thames. Entered residence January 1922. Died February , 1924. Aged 21 years.

In Memoriam: It is with deepest regret that we have to announce the death of Arthur George Eborall, a third year student who passed away on Friday, 22nd of February from septicaemia after a short illness. His death came as a terrible shock to all, and in College life, both outside and inside he is missed terribly, by staff and student alike. His genial presence, willingness· to give, help or lend, made for him fast friends everywhere he went. He was secretary of the Students' Association, Librarian and Secretary of Cricket and on all these clubs his absence is most severely felt. He had been in New Zealand just over two years, having come from England in December, 1921, and during his first year out here he was unfortunate in contracting rheumatic fever, thus disabling him for football in the future, in which game he was very keen. His funeral took place on Saturday, 23rd and the whole College went to pay their last tribute to one who had been so great a friend to them, - he was buried in the Springston Cemetery, his grave being  quite close to that of Mr Ivey’s, the first Director. To his parents and relations at home, all his friends and fellow students here and elsewhere we offer our most heart felt and sincere sympathy in their great bereavement.
