The Report of the Committee on Necrology 
The following report was presented by the Committee on 
Necrology: 
But a single death in the Academy membership has been reported 
this year. 
EUGENE Ray Burton joined the Academy in 1915. He was born 
in Hamilton, Iowa, May 10, 1891. When he was about five years old, 
his family moved to Findlay, Ohio, where he spent his boyhood and 
prepared for college. In the fall of 1911 he entered Ohio Wesleyan 
University, where he received the degrees of B. A. and M.S. in 1915 and 
1916 respectively. Before his graduation he served as assistant in 
Zoology, and remained as teaching fellow, 1915-16, and instructor, 
1916-17. In the latter year he and his wife (Dorothy Walters Burton, 
also a member of the Academy) were in joint:charge of the zoological 
work of the college during the absence of the head of the department. 
The year 1917-18 was spent in a successful experiment as superin- 
tendent of schools in Felicity, Ohio; but Mr. Burton felt that Biology 
was his real field, and resigned his position to accept an instructorship 
in Marquette University Medical School, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 
This work he was destined never to take up. Early in the summer of 
1918 he moved to Milwaukee, where he died suddenly on August 14, 
following an operation for appendicitis. 
And thus, at its very beginning, a life was suddenly cut off which 
gave promise of the highest success and usefulness. Mr. Burton was 
devotedly interested in Zoology and absolutely loyal to scientific 
truth. Instinctive powers of observation and a passionate love of the 
out-of-doors gave him exceptional ability as a field naturalist. His 
death is a real scientific loss to the Academy; to those of us who were
