I l 3111 illtlemutiam 711211315525 Sherman Grant jfehruarp 14, 1867 September 21, 1932 ULYssEs SHERMAN GRANT was one of the builders of Northwestern University and the founder of its Department of Geology and Geography as it now exists. Born at Moline, Illinois, which was then still near our frontier, and gifted with unusual observation and a deep love for the outdoors, he early turned to a career in the natural sciences. After his undergraduate years at the University of Minnesota, he married Avis Winchell, daughter of another famous geologist. In 1893 he received the Doctorate in geology at johns Hopkins University and, returning to Minneapolis, was made Assistant State Geologist and Instructor in the University. In 1899, though only thirty-two, he was called to the William Deering Professorship in Geology at North- western University. Here his humanity and his teaching and administrative skill won the affection of stu- dents and esteem and trust of associates,-a confidence shown when he was asked to serve as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts in 1907-08 and again during the troublous period of 1916-19. His numerous scientific contributions, characterized especially by accuracy and thoroughness, will long serve as examples to be emulated and as stones upon which others will build. The intellectual stimulus and understanding friendliness which he offered his students, his scientific associates, and his numerous other friends are the intangible but most significant bequests of a great soul to his time.
