STUDENT DIES IN CITY OF RENO

LYNNE RONNOW OF PANACA DIES AT RENO--WAS NEPHEW OF C.C. RONNOW, 
MERCHANT, OF LAS VEGAS.

On last Saturday evening in the City of Reno, Lynne C. RONNOW departed 
this life after a brave fight against the Grim Reaper.  He was operated 
on about two weeks ago to remove an abscess from the brain, but never 
recovered from the effects of the operation.
   The remains were sent to his former home at Panaca for burial.  When 
the body was removed from the undertaking parlors to the train, it was 
escorted by about 200 students from the University of Nevada at which 
institution he was a senior member.  In the escort, which was headed by 
President Walter E. Clark of the University, was a large number of 
faculty members of the various college fraternities, Lincoln Hall 
Association and the Engineers' Club.  The body was taken home by the 
parents, Mr. and Ms. C. P. RONNOW.
   The Review wishes to extend its heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. 
RONNOW in this their hour of bereavement.
   Speaking of the deceased, the State Journal pays him this mark of 
respect editorially:
    "Following closely on the death of Leslie M. BRUCE, gold 
medalist[sic] and Rhodes scholar of last year's senior clas(sic) in the 
University of Nevada, comes another shock to the community in the news 
of the passing of Lynne C. RONNOW, a well loved and brilliant college 
senior of this year.  Standing on the threshold of an honorable career 
and within a few months of the time which was set for him to leave the 
campus for that practical field of life which he had studiously prepared 
to enter, the young engineer was taken by the hand and led into that 
Valley of the Shadow.  A youth, replete with the possibility of great 
achievement and full of the joy of life, has again added its own to 'the 
thick footprints of departed men.'  'Death loves a shining mark.'"
