In an article writ- ten several days ago for publication in the Easter issue of the Cathedral Age, Bishop Rhinelander said that Rev. Mr. Page had proved invaluable in every way, and that because of him the Col- lege of Preachers authorities had felt justified in outlining for the year of 1929 a more extended program than was possible in 1928. Rev. Mr. Page was a cousin of Miss Lucy Lee and FElizabeth Page Perin of 1870 Wyoming avenue. He was a class- mate at General Theological Seminary of Willlam L. De Vries, chancellor of hington Cathedral, and Cornelius S. Abbott, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd. Bishop Freeman today referred to Rev. Mr. Page in glowing terms. “He was & man of singular refinement,” the Bishop said, “and a man who, in a compara®.vely brief space of time, had won the affection of the entire Cathe- dral staff. His tragic death has removed from the Cathedral body a man who had come to occupy a place of distinc- tion and large usefulness.
