One of St. Augustine’s most distinguished graduates was lost when the Rev. Everard W. Daniel, rector of St. Matthew’s Church, Detroit, passed away on Sep tember 6. The Rev. Mr. Daniel was born in Saint Thomas, B. W. I., in 1876. After graduation from St. Augustine’s in 1899 he continued his education at iNTew York University, General Theological Seminary and Union Theological Seminary. He served in St. Philip’s Parish, New York City, for several years’ finally giving up his work there to become rector of St. Matthew’s about twenty years ago. The account of his death in the Living Church is quoted in part; “Father Daniel was recognized as an extremely brilliant mind, and was higlily respected for his ability and for tiie extraordinary work he had done in St. Matthew’s Parish. . . So great was the rever ence in which Father Daniel was held in Detroit that the church and parisli house were crowded, and it was impossible to And parking space witliin several blocks of the building. Prominent citizens of De troit, including a judge and an ex-mayor, were the honorary i)allbearers.” The Rev. Mr. Daniel took an active interest in St. Augustine’s and visited here in 1936, when he was the baccalaureate preacher, as he was also in 1911. Arna Bontemps, noted novelist and writer of chil dren’s books, lectured to a large audience of students and faculty members on November 17. Mr. Bontemps is among the best known of contemporary negro au thors. His visit came in Book Week. The speaker on the assembly program in observation of Book Week was Miss Marguerite Lovell, librarian at North Caro lina College. To date St. Augustine’s football team has shown decided improvement over last year’s, having won from Elizabeth City Teachers College 25 to 0, tied Miner Teachers College 7 to 7, and lost to Johnson C. Smith and St. Paul by a margin of two touchdowns each, as comj)ared to five last year. Hs ❖ ❖ An old and loyal friend of St. Augustine’s was lost in the death of the Rev. Robert B. Drane, D.D., retired rector of St. Paul’s Church, Edenton, N. C. Dr. Drane served the same parish as rector for fifty-six years. He was in his eighty-eighth year at the time of his death in Edenton on the eve of All Saints’ Day. From 1917 to 1936, Dr. Drane served as a member of the Board of Trustees of St. Augustine’s College, in which he showed great interest, attending the meetings regu larly even after failing health had compelled him to resign his roctorate in Edenton. He was the nephew of the elder Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, one of the incorporators of St. Augustine’s in 1867, and conse quently a cousin of the late Bishop Cheshire, who was for so many years president of our Board of Trustees. Dr. Drane was also a trustee of St. Mary’s School and of the University of the South.
