         RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF DR. JOSEPH W. PRYOR

               On March 17, 1956, less than three weeks from his one
          hundredth birthday, death came to Dr. Joseph W. Pryor, emeri-
          tus Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Physiology at
          the University of Kentucky.

              Dr. Pryor was born in Palmyra, Missouri, April 3, 1856.
          He secured his M. D. degree from the University of Missouri
          in 1876, and subsequently Dr. Pryor was an assistant to Dr.
          Hodgen, Dean of the St. Louis Medical School.  Then he went
          into the practice of general medicine and surgery and moved to
          Lexington, Kentucky, in 1882. In 1881 he had married Miss
          Maggie Cheney who died in 1896. In 1898 he married Miss
          Eleanor Hancock, his present wife, who survives him.

              Dr. Pryor continued his practice of medicine and surgery
          in Lexington and in 1885 he became the regular Medical Exam-
          iner of State College, the forerunner of the University of Ken-
          tucky.  In 1890 he was appointed to the headship and became
          the Founder of the Department of Anatomy and Physiology.
          In 1894 Dr. Pryor organized in the College of Arts and Sciences
          one of the first premedical curricula in the country.
