As a justly deserved tribute to his professional ability and learning-, the Regents of the University of Maryland. at its Centennial celebration, on May :!1, 1!)()7, conferred u]ion him the honorary degree of Doctor nf l.aws. The estiniaticm in whicii Dr. Howard was held .as a teacher and a ])ractitii ncr of medicine was e|ualled by the affection and love which he inspired in all h;) knew liim well. TliDUgh never of robust health, he was alwa s ready to cx])end his time and his knowledge in behalf of those who sought him. and was ever willing to aid the jioor and needy without thouglit of remuneraliou. 1 Ir took p ' .eisure in assisting with his counsel au - younger members of the profession who deiirul lo dr.nw upon his large resources of knowledge, and he was always an upholder oi the strictest standard of professional ethics. Professor Howard was a man of deep religious convic- tions, and for many }ears he was a connnunicant member of Saint Paul ' s Episcopal Church, in lialtimore. His firm belief in the truths of Christianity gave him support in the increasing infirmities of age, and the volume of Sermons on the Resurrections. by the great scholar and orator.

He died at Xarra- gansett Pier, Rhode Island, on July : ' 1, 1907, wlien he had reached the fulness of age, having entered upon the latter half of his eighty-seventh year. . peaceful end thus crowned llu- work of a well-siient lile.

Distinguished Names in the Annals of the University Every University jiriclcs itself on its distinguished faculties and alumni, in ic v (if the long and honorable career of our University, it would be surprising, indeed, if we could not exliibit a roll of names eminent in the [inifcssions and l)y no means limited to them. And so it is, that in the list of professors and alumni, em- bracing more than 10,000 persons, one finds the names of scliolars, judges, lawyers, physicians, dentists, phar- macists, etc., whose reputation is national and in many cases international. As the eldest of our departments, the first born, that from whose huml)le beginning our great University sprang, and from whose stem have shot forth from time to time the branches wliich are now corporate and active parts of it, we may naturally expect h tin l the metlical department UKJst rich in men of m;irk-. I ' .rginning with John Ueale Davidge, the founder, a .Master nf Arts of St. John ' s College, and graduate in medicine of (Glasgow University, a man of the loftiest personal qualities and of acknowledged powers of leadership, a writer and lec- turer of note, a hnld anil original surgemi, we may recall many men of wide celebrity in the medical profession : William Gibson. Horatio Gates Jameson, Nathan K. Smith, Christnphir Johnston, L. Mcl.ane Tiffany, Ran- (lolpli W ' inslow, surgeons; John 1). (iodman. Granville Sharp Pattison, Eli Geddings, Joseph Roby, William A. Hammond, anatomists; Charles Frick, N. G. Keirle, Wil- liam T. Coiuicilman, J. Homer Wright, James Carroll, A. C. Abbott, pathologists and bacteriologists; Charles P. Noble, Villiam T.

Miles, neurolo- gist; J. Whitridge Williams, obstetrician, etc. To this department belong also Jules T. Ducatel, geologist, and John illiamson Palmer, poet. Names that shine with great brilliancy are those of John Crawford, who discov- ered, and practiced in accordance with, the germ theory as earl}- as 1790, and Ephraini Mc Howell, the o arioto- mist. The law de])artment had for its first head a most remark- able legal scholar and writer, David I loffman, whose works were e.xtoUed very highly and brought him the honorary degrees of LL.D. from ()xford, and J. U. 1). (Juris I ' lriiisqiw Doctor), from Giittingen I ' niversilies. More recently there have been in the law faculty and among law alumni many judges, attorneys and teachers who h;ive adorned the bench and bar here and elsewhere. In the teaching and active faculty there ha e been many who have occupied positions upon the bench, regarded in Maryland always as the surest test of pre-eminence: Judges John A. Inglis, Robt. N. Martin, George ' ' illiain Hrown, Charles E. Phelps, Thomas S. Baer, Albert Ritchie, Henry D, Harlan, Henry Stockbridge, James P. IG
