FOREWORD The University of Illinois takes this occasion to recognize and acclaim a distinguished son, Arthur Newell Talbot of the Class of 1881. Honors and a w a r d s , degrees and memberships, medals and tablets attest to the lifetime achievements in many scientific fields of Doctor Talbot, Professor of Municipal and Sanitary Engineering, Emeritus. Over a period of nearly sixty years his contributions to engineering education, research, and practice have grown more and more notable until today he is an acknowledged leader among engineering teachers, research organizers, scientific investigators and writers, and, above all, among men. Many generations of college students have gone forth from this institution inspired by his high standards, and impressed by his sterling character and unwavering devotion to his ideals. It now remains for his Alma Mater to signalize for future generations of students the enduring contributions of this man to the engineering profession by placing his name on a great materials testing laboratory at the University of Illinois.
