career at Cornell University. Perhaps
the chief distinction of his life at Cor
nell was his winning, in his Junior
year, the H. X. White prize in Veterin-
airy Medicine, one Of the richest re-
wards both in money and in honor
which the University has to offer. After
receiving his Bachelor of Science de-
gree at Cornell in 1896 he engaged in
two years of special study at Column
bian University in Washington, d. c.,
from which he was granted the degree
of d. V. S. in 1898. The same year he
was called to the South Dakota State
College as Professor Of Zoology and
Veterinary Medicine.
In 1899 DR.. Moore was married to
Miss Anna Parker of Brookings, a
graduate Of the State College in the
class Of 1895. Three most attractive
children have been born 10 them.
The fifteen years of DR. Moore's
work in South Dakota have been years
of markedly valuable service to the
college, the town, and the state. Stu
dents who have a under his instruc-
ton have repeatedly borne witness to
his rare qualities as a teacher; to his
mastery of his subject, to his patience
with beginners questions, to his unfail,
ing habit of so guiding classroom dis
c~ussion and laboratory investigation as
to vindicate not his own authority but
the high ideal of scientific truth, and
to his success in stimulating in his
individual students the self-reliance
on which he set so high a value. Stu.
dents who have known him as class
advisory officer remember we'll the
fairness, consciousness, and intel
ligence with which he performed that
function. The same high qualities
have long made him prominent in the
committee work of the faculty. To the
local community he has rendered
efficient and unselish service in the
capacity OF alderman, and as a scien-
tifc specialist. Many hours of his
time have been spent without remuner.
alton in testing at intervals the city
water and private water supplies. The
state at large is deeply In DR.. Moore's
debt for his Investigations in the
causes and treatment Of some OF the
worst diseases OF cattle, horses, sheep,
and hogs. Much of this work Of his
has passed the experiment stage and
been published in the bulletins of the
United States Experiment Station, of
which he was a staff member. On the
other hand, much is left in mid-pro-
cess. Recognition Of DR.. Moore's
efficiency in his special science has
come to him in various forms. In 1908
he was made delegate from South Da.
kota to the International tuberculosis
Congress. For several years he has
been South Dakota Secretary Of the
American Veterinary Association.
DR.. Moore was a man of genuine
modesty. Many Of his finest character
istics were scarcely known outside the
circle Of his family, to which he was
devoted, and Of his close friends. Thus
he was remarkable for the charm Of
his informal talk. On the rare oc-
c~asions when he could be prevailed
upon to talk in public, as in the case
OF his account in chapel of the Tuber-
culosis Congress, he proved himself
an exceedingly interesting speaker. I'm
like many specialists he was a man of
trained and catholic taste in reading,
the eagerness of his intellectual inter
est carrying him far beyond the re-
stricted field of the writings Of pure
science. If DR.. Moore's reserve made
the list of his intimate friends a small
one, his kindness, unselfshness, and
democratic good fellowship made the
number OF his acquaintances a very
large one.
The death OF DR.. Moore Is deeply
felt by the students who have worked
under his guidance, by the teachers
who have collaborated with him, and
by all who have known him in his
home community and throughout the
state.
