"IN MEMORIAM
Albert Euclid Hinsdale, ‘06H, ‘07
With the passing of Dr. Albert Euclid Hinsdale, ‘06H, '07, on May 8, 1924, in Cleveland after a critical illness terminating in pneumonia, the University loses a distinguished son. Dr. Hinsdale, the son of Dr. Wilbert B. Hinsdale, for many years Professor in the Homeopathic Medical School, and now Custodian of Michigan Archaeology in the Museum, followed his father in the study of homeopathic medicine.

Dr. Hinsdale was born in Wadsworth, Ohio, July 16, 1881. He attended the public schools of Cleveland and Ann Arbor, and following his graduation from the Homeopathic Medical college here, he took special training as an assistant in that college. After a short period of practice in Pontiac, he was called to a professorship in the New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital.

His life's achievement came with his election to the professorship of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the newly organized College of Homeopathic Medicine at Ohio State University. From its beginning, Dr. Hinsdale, by his knowledge of the powers of the homeopathic principle of cure and by his great desire to further that knowledge, built into this college as its outstanding feature the teaching of homeopathy and the foundations for a research program that soon became world famous.

It was the work of Dr. Hinsdale that attracted hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cause of homeopathic medicine. It was largely through the labors of Dr. Hinsdale that the Kettering Laboratory at Ohio State University was created. It was the first time that a laboratory was equipped with the most modern apparatus in the field of physiological chemistry, pathology, bacteriology and pharmacology.

Dr. Hinsdale was by inheritance and by training a research scholar. He came of staunch pioneer American stock. He was a lineal descendent of a Mayflower passenger, and of soldiers who served in the Colonial wars and the American Revolution and War of 1812. The work that he accomplished during the last two years of his life, with its attendant exposure, undoubtedly had its effect in undermining his health. This first became apparent during the last year before he died.

It is fortunate that the results of his researches have in part been preserved in a manuscript which he prepared in the months before his death. These pages contain not only a wealth of new material in the field of homeopathy, but in addition suggest a method for the carrying on of this important work. His loss to humanity at the beginning of this great work cannot be estimated.

In April of this year, Dr. Hinsdale went to Cleveland, with unusually good prospects, to practice medicine, as well as to do medical journalistic work. His sudden death, less than a month later, was a shock to his contemporaries and his friends, and to his University."
