Excerpt from In Memory of the Rev. Samuel Colgate He was a wholesome boy, full of fun and sport, and especially fond of practical jokes - an honestly inherited tendency. He was an inveterate tease, and an adept in the art. But his suffering vic tims themselves testify that though their agony was real, and their tears abundant, yet the author of their woe never forfeited their affection and companionship. He was prepared for college at the Dearborn and Morgan School in Orange. As he was completing this preparation he was detained, in his eighteenth year, by his second very serious illness, in the form of a very severe attack of pneumonia. On his recovery he entered the academic department of Yale University in 1887, and was graduated in 1891 with a class of 185 members. In the first year of his college life he was elected by his class one of the three deacons to whom is committed leadership in the care of the religious interests, meetings and activity of the class. He was also an officer of the Yale Young Men's Christian Association and active in the work of that organization from the beginning to the end of his college course. In the strenuous competitionfor a position on the editorial staff of the Yale News, the daily paper published by the students, he was successful and served as one of the editors of that journal from his class.
