* * * * Sir George Young

Sir George Young, who has died in his ninety-third year, set a fine example of unwearying public service. As Chief Charity Commissioner he was an administrator of unerring judgment. In spite of all the legal and historical doubtful points upon which the conferment of educational endowment often depends his decisions, as the Times points out, were never once challenged. Besides being a great public servant he was a great scholar with an exacting taste in prose and verse, lie trained his body as he trained his mind, and passed on the finest traditions to his distinguished srms.
