We the undersigned committee lointed by the chairman of the tram County Bar Association, to if resolutions as a memorial of Putnam county bar to the memof Silas A. Hays, submit the foling report: It i- with a feeling of awe and tkno-s, that we who have learned the feet of Mr. Hays many of the ions in the practice of the law, r undertake the task -asigned us. t who has for the last sixty years upied n high place among the |rber« of this bar and adjoining m'ies. has been suddenly stricken pi It was but yesterday that we t him and counselled him and oh* ^■fd the same force and keenness Uind with which he was blessed ing his long life of service. [Thursday evening a summons was k<d upon .Silas A. Hays by the her court, iwhich summons will ner or inter 1«’ -er-ed ujton each | all of us, and we must answer -ame at once, as there wdll be no y or delay granted. 'tir. Hays, with his well known ^po.-ure, answered that summons received ids sentence from which re is no appeal. We know of no better prepared to answer that mens and enter the higher court receive the ruling of the court, i Mr. Hays. He always met hi’ er-jrie> in the courtroom without or nr artifice. Everyone knew re to find him. He stood in the t. four square. He w - as always to himself, and it naturally foiled that he could not l>e untrue to clients. More can not be said of man His varied and wide expere in l"ng years of sendee, as a yer, gavo him a far reaching and r view which extended beyond the ion of the ordinary lawyer. He od atone, in a class to himself. He the last of the old school of his fession, and like a patriarch, he gularly stood out alone in his pro-
ion.
While Mr. Hays was a busy man untiring worker, he always tid time to take an active part in lie welfare. IfL donated his time d money liberally In support of any blic move or improvement. He k an active part in Republican itirs, and represented his party as delegate in three national conven his. He was a state senator, and candidate for congress. He always °1'. a pride and an interest in the Inpment of DePauw university, le was always an active member worker In the Methodist church, always found time to listen to troobles of young students and them in their adventures. His me and his family were his id* and they received his undivided Vo *ion. He was a type of citizen •t is badly needni in any communJ', especially during these times of certainty ansi fast shifting public in ion. In the active practice for more »n half a ientury at the Putnam nnty bar, and in the adjoining < irh". he had earned an enviable repu1 ■ la • par. Hi- influence ’"h b«th judge and jury in the pre-"'-ition of a case was effective, beUs * °I his reputation for honor. ' Ky. end integrity. He learned r * hi the practice of his chosen "fession that nothing is so valuable lawyer ^ as a reputation; that no circumstances would he singly,misstate a proposition of " r misquote the evidence in a ,l <»n be said, without fear of l 'rb(,icti oni that he never underh' erase the line between right

The last legislature passed a law that wall save Putnam county some ' ho.-pital bills, but from all reports it j is not thoroughly understood. Not only will this save the county -ome | cash, but it will probably be the | means of the county hospital receiv1 ing revenue from adjoining counties that otherwise would not be received. This new law is one iiertaining to I indigent minors. Heretofore these cases have all gone to the Riley hosi i ital in Indianapolis and the county ha- paid the bills without question. 1 Many of them were highly expensive, j but they went just the same- Under this new law, a judge has the option I of sending indigent patients to an | Indianapolis or any other hospital This will mean that the-e patients j will hereafter be treated at home. 1 This has been the case for the pa-t j few months, it is stated by local phy - | sicians who are doing the same w - ork | that has been done at Indianapolis for less money and the local hospital rate is also lower, thus making it possible for the county to save.

A new scries of addresses at Hid DePauw university vespers ervicea will be delivered by President G. Bromley Oxnain, Hie first being scheduled for Sunday evening The series wdll be titled “Modern Problems of Ancient Peoples” and the lectures are made up of material that Dr. Oxnam gathered during a summer cruise with his family through the country of the Mediterannean. Last year Dr. Oxnam gave a series on this same vesper program on “World Personalities,’’ discussing some of the men whose leadership is reshaping the world and society. TIis new series will deal with the w-ay that peoples of ancient civilizations like Rome. Athens, Jerusalem are meeting the complex problem- of our modern era. Dr. Oxnam’s lecture Sunday nierht will be on Spain, which he characerizes as a land of paradox wherein patriots must defend themselves against the - army and save themselves from the church. The second lecture will be delivered October 15 and will be on Italy which he says is a "land of challenge, wherein dictatorship has supplanted democracy and the people have given up representative institutions for the amazing achievements of the Mussolini regime.” October 22 he w ill speak n Greece, i land of glorious past, wherein the people contemplate the problematical future. The last of llic -cries will lie delivered Sunday, Octolier 29 on Palestine, a h >ly land w herein peoples who .-oek refuge am (ikely to find

These services arc held in the Gobin Memorial chinch each Sunday evening beginning at 6:50. Many times since the services were stinted four year- ago the church has been taxed to capacity to hear the speaker. Doth campus and off-campus lorurora are used and students consider it an invaluable ipart of their educational process at DePauw. Dr. Oxnam found a wealth "f le lure material on liis tour of the Mediterannean and a much changed America on hi- return.
