In Memoriam 

Dr. Elba E. Watson 

Dr. Elba S. Watson, who became a member of the staff of the College in 1926, 

had the honor of being the first student to register as a candidate for the degree of 
Doctor of Philosophy at Michigan State College.  Even though his many years' of previous 
study and teaching both in America and in Germany had been in Languages, his field of 
graduate study was Botany, in which he did notable work on "Sunflowers of the World17. 

After obtaining his Ph.D. degree from Michigan State College, Dr. Watson returned 

to the field of languages to continue his teaching.  From 1926 until his death on 
September 27, 1936, he was instructor in G-ennan in the Modern Language Department. 

Throughout his life Dr. Watson asked little for himself.  He distinguished himself 

by his great contributions to the welfare of others and always his benefactions affected 
underprivileged members of society who would, ordinarily be overlooked by other than public 
charity. 

The reputation for broad scholarship, sterling character and unostentatious 

generosity of Dr. Watson will live long in the memory of the faculty of the College.

be measured.  He never missed an opportunity to further its interests*  We knew him as a constructive

Michigan State College and saddens the members of the Board who had the pleasure of knowing him well.
