1t is fitting that we should nansa
at this time to sum up the good ouaI-
tues and pay homage to the memory ne
enc VINO had done SO much fo. tbe
WorFd as our dead friend. DR.. MilIard
had adopted one Of the most e.lOrious
ana dlfl1cuit of all professions, and to
II ne gave Of his body, brains and char
t1cler. HIS success is a tribute to his
worth as showing his diligence fitness
IL "OUIu require
much time and the Imagination of a
poet to tell in fitting terms how thew
VINO WOO US back from the gates oP
oe'ath, as much by their personality
as by their skill, deserve esteem ana
reverence. Not even the sacred desk re-
cures so much Of personality as the
procession OF the physician. Those who
Mlew ~, IT MlIlard most intimately are
tne ones who honor him most. This il
the seVerest test Of any mans life It
IS not IN the printed page the 1onp
geography that we find the tr11e e,T-
Ngv. 1t is found rather in the humid
eye, the trembling lip, the warm. c1ose
pressure OF the hand. Men believed in
ana loved this dead friend. He was
sooa 10 all, not only to his colleagues
dno patients, but also to those wifi
Whom he came in contact outside bfs
PROFESSION. But he is gone-too early
700 soon, a result Of too great devotion

IN November of last year Dean Mil

NeTther he nor I knew that this wo11d

Lopeless. From Johns Hopkins hos
Pltal he wrote me that he expected II
be back at his work by the first of
January, yet on the first Of January
ne died. If we could anticiDate the
end Of our lives, if we could labor IN ~
certain period and then pause to
contemplate the approaching time OF
dissolution, the world would be p less
Eappy place and our labors less com
piete. AS it is we battle with life and
our endeaVors toward accomplishment
continue almost to the deathbed.
DR.. Millard filled a higher field
than did that good Dr. MacLure. OF
whose efforts in his Scottish parish we
have read. He touched a higher con-
stftuency, and his efforts were cor
respondingly more elevated. [ wan1
to say that L endorse every word OF
this memorial resolution. I was as
sOciated eight years with DR.. Mfuard.
in time Of trouble and in times of pros
per1ty and peace, and during all these
years of intercourse there was never
feet, but he was thoroughly honest and
conscientious. He meant to make his
efforts in the college of medicine and
surgery his crowning work. He was
successful in all the lines opened to
the profession of medicine and he in
tended that his work in the college
should be his greatest achievement.

mains, every department of which is q
monument to his energy, ability and
faithfulness
The most striking point about Dean
Nillard was his character. He was a
pure, temperate, clean, manly man. In
everything that he did his purity of
personality was prominent. It is in
this way that the physician comes
nearer to the Saviour than any other
man, for he is to heal those with whom
he comes in contact. DR.. Millard took
these splendid attributes to the bedside
with him.
1--WE can go out of the world and the
world can get along without us. But
the world makes no progress exceDt
through the efforts Of the individual.
We of today lay the foundations fo,.
our successors, and on that foundation
is to rest the temple that each genera
ton raises higher and closer to the
glory that shall be. Dean Mfllard
did his duty as man and a physician
laying the foundation for medical law
and progress on which the future of the
profession In this country may safely
depend. He succeeded where other
workers in the same field have failed
because Of his perseverance and in
domftable energy.
1--WE shall miss him. His colleagues
in the university, in all the colleges
