The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October 1911

In Memoriam

In Memoriam.

John Griffith's death has deprived us of one who gave his friendship without making demands upon his friends—a true friend but an unostentatious one. He listened to all and gave advice when he was asked, and his very quality of true, kindly sympathy hid from the writer, at least while he was with us, the large part he held in the writer's life, both in and out of College. He was so unobtrusive, so quietly genuine, that perhaps those who knew him only slightly did not realise the truly great and purifying influence he had on the lives of others, who, by understanding him, appreciated him at his true value. His going has left a blank in the lives of many.
