ROGER O ' DONNELL, LL.B., LL.M. April 10, 1875 — September 17, 1940 Roger O ' Donnell received his law degrees at National University and was a member of the faculty since 1914. National students will remember Professor O ' Donnell for his homespun wit and his ability to interpret the subjects of Torts and Common Law Pleading to embryo lawyers. He was a lovable, kindly, delightful man. All who knew him closely are enriched by the priceless mem- ories and ideals he left behind — all who studied under him could not be other than better by reason of his years amongst us.

ERNEST WILLARD GIBSON, LL.D. December 29, 1871 — June 20, 1940 The death of Ernest Willard Gibson, Senator from the State of Vermont, removed from the Senate of the United States one of the outstanding Members of that Body, and from the Faculty of National University one of its most able professors. He was quiet and calm but always effective. He was a typical American, and his life covered a wide range of activities. Throughout his busy career he served his State in many official capacities, and he served his country as a Colonel in the World War. Now that Senator Gibson has gone, his ability, his fidelity, his patriotic record, his devotion to duty, will all loom large in the memory of those who are privileged to have known him. I 1 MEMORI 1M
