Prout, Class Of '65, Dies The passing of summer saw the title of "oldest living Uni versity alumnus" change hands. The Rev. William C. Prout of Middleville, N. Y., former title holder, and graduate of class of 1865, died early this month. The title now passes on to two alumni Peter Mitchell Wilson and Thomas S. Norfleet, both having enrolled in 1865. How ever, by virtue of age, the for mer might be considered the "oldest alumnus" since he is 90, and the latter is 89. Mr. Wilson is from Washington, D. C, and Mr. Norfleet from Roxobel, N. C. Rev. Prout Rev. Prout was 90 years of age at the time of his death and was the surviving member of his class ; in fact, he constituted the entire class at the Univer sity during his senior year, the war taking the other members into service. Though Peter Wilson is the oldest living alumnus, George McCorkle, an official of the Fed eral Trade commission in Wash ington, holds the title of "oldest living graduate." In 1868 the University was forced to close its doors and neither Mr. Wilson nor Mr. Norfleet graduated here. Mr. McCorkle was in the second graduating class after the school's reopening in 1875. Both Rev. Prout and Mr. Nor fleet attended the commence ment exercises and reunions held in Chapel Hill last spring.
