" The death of Miss Catherine Mclntyre severed from the staff of the agri- 

 cultural experiment station of the University of Illinois one who had been 

 associated with this institution since it was established in 1888. While her 

 oflicial duties did not make her widely known, yet her service to the public, as 

 secretary of the experiment station, was invaluable to the State. ... To sys- 

 tematize the bookkeeping in the use of half a million dollars a year, distributed 

 in more than sixty different funds, to supervise the publication and distribution 

 of all experiment station bulletins, circulars, and reports in editions reaching 

 as high as sixty thousand copies, to organize and maintain a clerical force in 

 the general office, and to advise and assist in the management of all depart- 

 mental offices, was the ts'ork of ■Miss Mclntyre; and into this service she brought 

 accuracy of accounting, proficiency in her knowledge of the English language, 

 and rare tact and genuine helpfulness, both to those employed under her direc- 

 tion and to her official superiors."
