UP memorial. This will be presented

speaks of him in the following terms:
The faculty OF the college of medicine and
surgery Of the University of Minnesota records
with sincere regret the untimely death of its
dean, DIR. Perry III. Willard.
In his death a loss is sustained-not by the
FACULTY alone, but by the medical profession
OF the state of Minnesota, and by the cause of
medical education throughout the country.
He was self-made man of large natural
resources, of indomitable energy and perse-
verance, Of answering devotion to his
chosen purposes, and those purposes had at
heart the good Of his profession.
To that profession he devoted twenty-five
years Of his life achieving enviable sue
cess in it's service. He filled many posi-
lions of trust with faithfulness and places
| of honor with modesty.
| His services to the state of Minnesota are
written upon the statute books and in the
! history of her medical institutions. He was
the author and inspirer of the laws govern
| Ing the practice Of medicine in the state and
| particularly of that progressive measure
| known as the Minnesota medical practice
| act, which has become the type of legislation
| for over half the states of the Union. He-efas
| one Of the most active organizers and pro-
| moters OF the American Medical College asso-
citation, body which has done much to ele-
| vate the average standard of medical educa-
| ton in this country.
His most signal service was in the projec-
| ton, organization of the department OF medi-
! cine of the University ST Minnesota. It
was in his brain that this institution, which
has taken rank among the professional schools
| of America, first took shape. 1t was his in
| huence which secured the surrender of the
| charters of those private colleges which unit
| ed in its establishment. 1t was largely
| through his unceasing labors and his per-
! s1stent enthusiasm that it placed upon
/ q Tiyv0r hnr1o f1a %
! Medical hall 1t his first endeavor, his
daily duty, his well justified pride to forward
| its interests throughout the years of his
its immediate service under the inevitable
compulsion of a death warning he had too
long refused to heed-to a summons which
| commands the sorrow of his associates and
inspires this memorial ito the duty he has
wrought"
