SERVICE IS HELD FOR DR. HILGARD
Faculty Members Attend the Funeral at St. Joseph's Church.
BERKELEY, Jan 10. - Funeral services for Professor Eugene Woldemar Hilgard, professor emeritus of agriculture of the University of California, were conducted this morning publicly at St. Joseph's Catholic church on Addison street. The services, which included the saying of an impressive mass, were largely attended, especially by officers and instructors of the university faculty.
Rev. Father Felix X. Morrison, pastor of the church, conducted the funeral. The Faculty Club and other organizations and many individuals contributed to the wealth of floral offerings that were banked about the bier of the departed professor. The interment, which was at St. Mary's cemetery, was privately conducted.
Later in the semester at the university memorial exercises for Professor Hilgard are to be held, and the date and program thereof will be announced within a few days. Among the speakers are expected to the President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Dean Thomas Forsythe Hunt of the department of agriculture and his predecessor, Professor Hilgard's successor, Dr. Edward J. Wickson, youngest of professors emeritus of the university, as Dr. Hilgard was their eldest.
Until the time of his retirement from any active work, following the publication of his last book, a treatise for agricultural students in 1910, Professor Hilgard was considered among the foremost authorities on agricultural subjects in the world. His specialty was agronomy, but he had investigated deeply into other problems of the land and its products. He died three days after his 83rd birthday, which he celebrated quietly last Wednesday.
Professor Hilgard is survived by two daughters, Miss Marie Louise and Miss Alice R. Hilgard. His wife, who was Senorita J. Alexandrina Bello of Madrid, before her marriage to the professor in the early '80's, died ten years ago, and more recently their only son, Edward J.(Eugene Manuel) Hilgard, also died.
