744 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 24 TRIBUTE TO DR. CHARLES DAVISON Dr. Meyer presented the following resolution: T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois has learned with deep sorrow of the death of Dr. Charles Davison, a former member of this Board, who passed away on January 19, 1942, aged 84 years and one week. Dr. Davison was a member of this Board from March, 1905, to the summer of 1910. T h e records show that he was a regular attendant at meetings and active on the committees of the Board. H e was particularly interested in the development of the College of Medicine, and when he had arranged the terms of a new lease of the property of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago by the University, and had secured the inclusion in the University budget of a substantial item for the operation of the College of Medicine, he resigned from the Board. Dr. Davison served on the committee which secured the stock of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago and presented it to the University in 1913. Dr. Davison was a member of the faculty of the College of Medicine from 1809 to his retirement in 1925. F r o m 1917 to 1925 he was Head of the Department of Surgery, and after 1925 he was Professor of Surgery, Emeritus. He maintained his interest in medical education to the end, as is shown by his appearing on the program at the commencement of the Chicago colleges for many years to present the candidates for diplomas in the University Hospital School of Nursing. Dr. Davison was a pioneer in surgical practice. H e introduced in 1914 bone grafting for intractable recent fractures. His work "Autoplastic Bone Surgery" was published in 1916. He was the author of many articles on medical and surgical subjects. H e was an honored member of many societies, and in his profession served mankind long and well. In recording this tribute to the memory of a former colleague, the Board directs its Secretary to send a copy of this resolution of appreciation to the family of Dr. Davison as a token of the Board's deepest sympathy with them in their great loss. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this resolution was unanimously adopted. MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. APPOINTMENT OF GENERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ( i ) A recommendation that the following be appointed members of the University of Illinois General Advisory Committee to serve for four years from January 1, 1942, and that the President of the University be authorized to fill vacancies from time to time, such appointments to be for four years from the date thereof, and to be reported to the Board. It was the decision of the General Policy Committee of the Board (with whom the President of the University conferred in selecting candidates) that, as a general rule, alumni of the University should not be appointed on the General Advisory Committee, except that the officers of the Alumni Association and the University of Illinois Dads' Association should be included in its membership (to serve in an ex-officio capacity) in order to provide the necessary coordination in the activities of these three groups.
