Professors R. G. Lunde, E. W. Bannells, and Perry West respectively,
are as £0110ws:

'Ellery Lewis Hall, Assistant Professor of history, died on
October 10, 1944. His death came at the end of a long illness
in which he endured intense suffering. During much of this ill-
ness Professor Hall continued to meet his classes, and to give
his students close personal attention.

"Professor Hall was born May 23, 1895, near Mount Olivet in
Robertson County, Kentucky. He received his education in the
cemmon schools of that county and at the Robertson County High
School. Before he could enter the University he Was called to
service in the First World War where he served from April, 1917,
until May, 1918, when he was given an honorable discharge. He
entered the University in the fall of 1921, and in June, 1924,
he was granted the Bachelor of Arts degree. Professor Hall re-
turned to northern Kentucky where for two years he was principal
of the Orangeburg school. In 1926 he returned to the University
of Kentucky as a graduate assistant in the Department of History,
and in 1927 he was granted the Master of Arts degree. During the
summers of 1928, 1929, and 1930, he was a student in the Graduate
School of the University of Chicago. He transferred from the
University of Chicago in 1931 to the University of Wisconsin in
order to continue his work in British imperial history under the
direction of Professor Paul Knaplund. During two summer terms
and the academic year, 1934a35, Professor Hall remained in con-
tinuous residence at Wisconsin.» He had cempletod the necessary
residence work and had completed all the work that could be done
in this country preparatory to the writing of his thesis. He
was writing on British imperial fiscal policies in Egypt during
the latter part of the nineteenth century. In 1939 he had made
arrangements, even to securing a passport and passage to England,
to complete his dissertation when the Second World War began and
he was unable to leave the country. Thismisfortune cane as a
stunning blow to him, and until the day of his death he heped to
be able to make thir trip. To him the journey to study in the
British Public Records Office and the British Museum would be
one to a veritable intellectual mecca.

"As a member of the Department of History Professor Hall main”
tained a high standard of academic interest. At one time h e was

Iinutes of the University Faculty - November 13, 1944

research assistant in Kentucky for the Social Science Research
Council in which he did work dealing with crime development. He
was a member of the American Society of International Law, the
Kentucky Academy of Social Sciences, the Kentucky Educational
Association, and the Mississippi Valley and Southern Historical
Associations. He had a great faculty for retaining bibliographiad
information. Much of this was acquired from his omnivorous habit
of reading. He spent most of his time outside of his classroom
with his books. His retentive memory enabled him not only to
retain bibliographical data, but likewise an enormous amount of
factual material. Both his students and the University profited
from his fine scholarly mind. He was able at all times to give
his students advice and instruction Which steered them into the
proper channels of sound historical investigation. As the chief
factor in collecting materials for the Patterson Library in
British History he assembled in the University of Kentucky Library
an excellent basic collection of research urkxix materials on the
history of the British Empire.

Prdhssor Hall was ever a shy and modest man whose presence
beyond the classroom was seldom noticed. In his classes he es~
tablished a well deserved reputation for being one of themost
effective teachers at the University. Unanimously his students
held him in high regard. He stimulated them to expend considerable
effort in preparation for his courses, and then they left the Uni=
versity they took with him rich intellectual memories of the shy
man who had a never failing source of information on his subject
and who was able to present it with claaity and émplicity in his
classes. In the loss of Professor Hall both the Department of
History and the University have had to give up a great asset,
in so fine a teacher and scholar."

“Mr. Edward Fisk, artis, and assistantaprofeseor in the
Department of Art, a member of the University staff since 1926,
died Cctober 8, 1944, after a long illness. He had been on sick
leave since the summer of 1942.'

“Mr. Fisk was in his 57th year. He was a native of New York
and he had his early training and experience as an artist there,
studying at the National Academy, the Art Students League and
with Robert Henry, a great teacher of that day. Later, in Paris,
Mr. Fisk studied with Cthon E1952 and Pierre Laprade and especially
he studied and knew the work of the modern French masters.
Following his sojourn in Paris he went to Italy and lived for a
time in Siene dnd Florence where he absorbed the traditions of
Italian painting until he knew them as cowpletely as he know
those of France. Thus his training as an artist was both Catholic
and thorough, and his teaching was informed by an exceptional
knowledge of painting.

”As a practicing artist Mr. Fisk‘s first 'one man' show was
held in 1.925 at the Daniel Gallery in New York, Again, in the

following year, another was held at the New School for Social
Research, and it was in the fall of that year, 1926, that he came
to the University of Kentucky, to take charge of drawing end
painting classes. He soon developed classes in printvmaking also,
and it was his work in this field that attracted a two~yeer grant
from the Carnegie Corporation which he usedto build a collection
of teaching materials in support of the work in prints and print-
making hardly matched elsewhere in somhern colleges.

During the school year l933v34 Mr. Fisk studied and painted

n England. He had opportunity to exhibit his work at the Tate

lery in London and at the Graves Museum in Sheffield. In 1935
it was the University's privilege to spOnsor a comprehensive ex-
hibition of his paintings and prints at the University Art Center.
Later this collectiou was featured at the J. B. Speed Memorial
Museum in Louisville and during the summer of 1935, also, the
prints were shown at the Feragil Galleries in New York.

”A sensitive artist and thorough craftsmen, Mr. Fisk was an
inSLiration to the serious student of painting. He made it plain
that in grt there can be no compromises. He insisted up0n profes-
siOnal standards with the result that t.e work of the abler stun
dents was accepted from time to time in professiOnal shows. Both
in the excellence of his work and the integrity of his teaching
he represented the best traditions in painting. His passing is
a scrias loss to the cause of art in this community and the state.”

”The faculty of the College of Engineering, the BOard of
Trustees and the Faculty of the University of Kentucky in memory
of Mr. Gordon Owen Thurman, a member of the staff of the College
of Engineering, who was known and beloved throughout the Univer~
sity and who passed from us On November 6, 1944, wish to record,
with the deepest sense of sorrow and lose, their pleasant assOn
ciatiOns with and their love and respect for this their wm¢thy
associate 0

”Mr. Thurman was born in Fayette County, Kentucky, June 14,
1883, and came to the University of Kentucky as assktaht in the
Wood Shop under the late Dean F. Paul Anderson, in February, 1904.
He served thereafter as assistant in the Steam and Electrical
Laboratories, 1908 to 1914; instructor in Forge and Machine Shops,
1914 to 1918; instructor in Machine Shop, 1918 to 1930; assistant
enterintendent of shops, and instructor in Machine Shop, 1330 to
1933; superintendent of shops, 1933 to 1937, and supervisor of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Bhboretories, 1937 to the
time of his death.

”Mr. Thurman was first of all a gentle man with all that
these words mean and imply. His thoughts, his ideals and his
expressions were all of the highest order, therefore his influence
and ﬁnpressions upon the young manhood withwhom he came into daily
contact, were far reaching, elevating and lasting.

”His personality was pleasing and his dhrosition was cooneraa
tive, still his resolves were firm and his judgment was sound,
so that he was never swerved by expediency to leave anything unm
done, to do a poor job, or to fail in the performance of any of
his duties.

"His loyalty to the UniVersity, to the College of Engineering”
and to his work could never be questioned; the welfare and comfort
of those with whom he associated came first; he was untiring in

he care of the physical property under his supervision,

”During all of his long experience as a hember of the staff
of the College of Engineering Mr. Thurman gave most freely of his
invaluable knowledge, experience and advice to all who cane within
his influence. His services in connection with the training of
soldiers in this and the last World War were notable.

and took a fatherly interest in the students. Heled an upri
straightforward life, which was manifest in his many activiti
in church work and civic affairs.

"It is, therefore, with the deepest feeling of sorrow and

a profound realization of loss that we state these facts regarding
the passing of our friend and associate, Gordon Owen Thurman,
with the wish that these expressions be recorded in the minutes
of the Board of Trustees, in the minutes of the Faculty of the
University and in the minutes of the Faculty of the College of
Engineering, also that a copy of this record he sent to Mrs.
Gordon 0. Thurman and her family.
