103 n In Memoriam. —o— WHEREAS, Our much loved associate and worthy member, WILLARD C. FLAGG, has been removed by the hand of death; therefore Resolved, That by this event the Illinois Industrial University has been deprived of one of its most faithful friends, who has been prominently identified with it from its infancy, as trustee, corresponding- secretary, and superintendent of agricultural experiments, and whose service in every capacity has been marked with high personal integrity and a true appreciation of its interests. Resolved, That as a member of the Board of Trustees he was ever kind and courteous, and that we recognize in his faithful counsels the principles of justice and right, which were the marked characteristics of his life. Resolved, That the State of Illinois in his death has lost one of its purest public men and one of its most valuable and self sacrificing citizens. Resolved, That in his death we feel the loss of a friend, and we do hereby express to his family our most heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement. Resolved, That the recording secretary forward a copy of the resolutions, neatly engrossed, to the family of the deceased, and that he set apart a page in our record book, appropriately headed and bordered, as an obituary page in honor of our deceased member, on which these resolutions shall be copied, and that the corresponding secretary have a like page prepared in the current published transactions of the University.
