RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF DR. ARTHUR HILL DANIELS

Mr. Moschel presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted by a rising vote. The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois records with profound sorrow the death on April 2, 1940, of Dr. Arthur Hill Daniels, former Acting President of the University, Dean of the Graduate School, and Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus. Few men have served the University of Illinois so long and in so many ways as did Doctor Daniels. On completion of his graduate studies he joined the faculty of the University in 1893 and his entire active professional career, covering forty-one years, was devoted to this institution. He began his career with the modest rank of Instructor in Philosophy and finished his active service in the exalted position of President of the University. It is fitting to record here the positions he held: Instructor in Philosophy, 1893-1895; Assistant Professor of Philosophy, 1895-1899; and Professor of Philosophy from September I, 1899, to June 30, 1934; Assistant Dean of the Graduate School, November I, 1918, to August 31, 1919; Acting Dean, September 1, 1919, to August 31, 1921; and Dean of the Graduate School, September 1, 1921, to July 10, 1933. Acting Dean of the College of Literature and Arts, February I, 1911, to June 30, 1913; Acting Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, October 1, 1925, to April 15, 1926, December 13, 1927, to August 31, 1928, and September 1, 1931, to July 10, 1933; Acting Provost of the University, December 13, 1927, to August 31, 1928. Acting President of the University, July 11, 1933, to June 30, 1934; Acting President, Dean of the Graduate School, and Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, July I, 1934, to April 2, 1940. It is the lives and professional careers of men like Arthur Hill Daniels which give an institution its character. The variety and nature of the responsibilities entrusted to him and his faithful discharge of them are a monument to his service to the University of Illinois. In recording this tribute to the life
