Sudden Death of Dr. Wilbur A Great American June 28 49 Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, whose sudden death at Palo Alto, a California center of higher education, has just been announced, was a remarkable man in many ways. He had followed, successfully and simultaneously, three public and professional careers. As a doctor of medicine all his adult life, as an educator of renown and as a member of a presidents cabinet in the Nations capital, he was known and honored around the earth. He had been president of the American Academy of Medicine 37 years ago and president of the American Medical association 26 years ago, with a background of European research and ten years of professional practice among eminent patients, including two well known presidents of the republic. Born in Iowa April 13, 1875, he attended Stanford university, where he graduated in 1896. At the age of 40 he became president of that renowned institution, the youngest American to ever hold such a position, which he retained 27 years. In 1917 he obtained a leave of absence to aid in the conservation and distribution of foods during the first world war. This brought him commendation and decorations from Belgium, France and Germany. Under President Herbert Hoover he served in the executive cabinet as secretary of the interior, during which period he visited Utah several times to extol the grandeur of our national parks and canyons. In 1940 he addressed an alumni association in Salt Lake City, in the course of which he said We of Stanford have found that the population of Utah supplies us with scholars of character and good intellectual ability. Out of your state will come those who will make what Henry Newell has done for Stanford an outstanding achievement of this western civilization. It was Henry Newell, a prominent mining man of Utah, who had provided thirty scholarships at Stanford for Utah students. The deceased educator and executive was associated with a number of national and international movements, including that of race relations on the Pacific coast, the Pan American conference of 1928 and the Rockefeller foundation. He was a man of sterling character, intellectual power, professional standing and patriotic achievement. He is survived by his widow, five children and sixteen grandchildren. He had served his country well and deserves to be remembered with affection and gratitude. Thursday, June 30 Nice day. I attend Sanity hearing at court visit Dr Hancocks office Read.
