WILLIAM DOUWE ZOETHOUT was born 56 years ago in Birdaard, Holland, where he spent his early childhood. At the age of 9, with his parents, Douwe and Emma Zoethout, the youth emigrated to America. The family landed in New York, but came on to Chicago and settled in Roseland, a suburb. He entered the public schools of Roseland in the Fall following his arrival, where he continued until he was graduated in 1889. In 1890 he entered Hope College, Holland, Michigan, from which he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1893. After his graduation, for several years, he devoted himself to teaching. Desiring further education he entered The University of Chicago and in 1898 was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. During his college years he became interested in Physiology and did much research work on the subject. Continuing his research work, he taught Phy- siology at Valparaiso University, 1911-1918, and at Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery, 1910-1919. Realizing the need for a text book on Physiology that would be clear, concise, and intermediate between High School texts and those for advanced study, he began preparing such a book. In 1916 he published Zoe- thoutis Text Book on Physiology . The book rapidly became a foremost text on Physiology. Subsequent editions have been published. In 1912 he joined the faculty of the Chicago College of Dental Surgery as Professor of Physiology. In addition to this chair he now also holds the Professor- ship of Physiology at Chicago Normal School of Physical Education. Today he is looked upon as an authority on Physiology. Dr. Zoethout, in spite of the sacrifice necessary for a scholastic life, has re- mained decidedly human. His associates refer to him as a mild mannered, schol- arly, and modest man. It is a privilege for us to be able to acknowledge him as our teacher.
