Bob/^ as he was intimately known, was not a member of the Christian Church, but you would never have known it from the vital concern he took in the life and development of the College. I have talked with him for hours at the time about the plans and aspirations of our College and ho never seemed to tire of the subject. Col. Holt was like Brother Gray and Mills, the highest type of business man, clcan, courageous, forward-looking, kind-hearted. His employees respected and loved him, and those who knew him best valued him most highly. His old colored servant, Richard, who had cared for his per sonal comforts for nearly thirty years, (for Col. Holt was a bachelor) attended the funeral and sat with the family. This is exactly as Col. Holt would have wished it. In his will, he made ample provision for Richard’s old age. Such thoughtfulness were as natural to Col. Holt as was breathing. Elon College in his death has lost a benevolent benefactor and a sym pathetic friend. Years ago his liberal ity to Elon began, and he was never sought for assistance but that ready response was forthcoming. In this present crisis it was he who headed the Alamance county committee as general chairman and who made the first sub scription to the Alamance Building Fund. On that stormy night on the 19th of January following our disaster here when a group of interested friends met in the city hall in Burlington to express their sorrow and sympathy, it was he who rose to his feet and in simple language declared he was sorry for Elon, and that he was sorry $5,000 worth. From that day to the day of his death he did not spare himself to help this college in its crisis. When the Board of Trustees met to appoint a Building Committee they had no choice in their judgment but to ask Col. Holt to serve on this commit tee. He accepted the appointment with readiness and has attended every meet ing of the Building Committee to which he was summoned. His rare business insight and excellent judgment have been worth many thousands of dollars to the college in the contracts for the new building program. Elon College has suffered in his death a deep and abiding heart-wound, and personally the writer has lost one of his most valued and sympathetic friends. It will be a long day in Ala mance before another arises to take the place of this splendid Christian gentleman who has in the providence of God fallen in life’s battle at the point where it seemed his splendid life was most useful to his fellow citizens and the cause of righteousness. Long will Elon mourn the loss of this good friend, who cherished larger things for her as a fundamental tenet of his life creed. W. A. HARPER.
