         X. Resolution on Death of Ezra L Gillis,

         President Picke-y reported the death of Professor Ezra L Gillis and
submitted the following Resolution, with recommendation that it be approved
and spread upon the minutes and that, a copy be sent, to members oi the fam-
ily.
                               Ezrai L Gillis

         Ezra L Gillis was born near Glensboro, Anderson County,
         Kentucky, January 1 1867.  His father. Hugh Gillis, was
         a Civil War \reterans his mother was Ellen Petty Gillis. His
         early education wvas secured in the public schools of Anderson
         County,  Lat..er., he attended Transylvania University and
         Indiana Central Teachers College, from which institution he
         was graduated.  For a number of years he taught school in
         Anderson County,

         In 1902, he was appointed president of Minerva College, Mason
         County, Kentucky. where he served with distinction for five
         years.

         In 1907, Professor Gillis becarne a member of the faculty of
         the Normal Department of the University of Kentucky. Three
         years later he was made Registrar of the University in which




 








10



          position he served for 27 years.  in i;s capacit'y as Registrar, he
          gained national recognition as an authority onl problems of college
          registration.  Many young men and waomer. came to the University
          of Kentucky to gain a knowledge of the wnork, of the registrar, and
          from among this group there are scores of unixversity and college
          registrars servrng many of the instilutions of learning of this
          country.

          Professor Gillis was a leader in establ.ishing the American. Asso-
          ciation of Collegiate Regivstrars.  He was regarded as the
          mentor of this professional organization that has done so much to
          standardize the work of colleges and universities.  Professor
          Gillis was Secretary-Treasurer of the Association from 1914 to
          1919, and served as it.s President n'n 192.0,  On several occasions
          he was given specil recognition by tile Association, and for years
          he has been regarded as th)e "DeIan of American Registrars and
          Admissions Officials".

          in 1937, Professor Gillis established the Bureau of  Source
          Materials in Higher Education, and during 'he yeatrs since that
          time, he built up a remarkable collection of records and books,
          These probably represent the best collection of historical mar
          terial of the kind to be found in any library in Kentucky or in
          the Nation.
