RESOLUTION IN MEMORY OF DR. TROUT

The committee of Messrs. Gay, Carrington, and Barksdale appointed to compose a resolution
in memory of Dr. Trout presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted.

RESOLVED, that the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia record with sincere
regret their sense of loss and sorrow over the passing of their friend and fellow member, Hugh
Henry Trout, Sr., who departed this life on January 13, 1950.

After graduating from the Medical School of the University in 1902, Dr. Trout passed
rapidly to the top of his chosen profession and, as Lt. Colonel in the Medical Corps, U. S. Army
(1918-1919), Fellow American College of Surgeons, member American Medical Association, Southern
Medical Association and American Surgical Association, and as President of Southern Surgical Association
(1931) and of Medical Society of Virginia (1940), acquired wide knowledge and experience
and attained great eminence in the field of medicine and surgery. This knowledge and experience
he brought in full measure to the councils of this Board, to which he was appointed in 1946. As
Chairman of its Committee on the Medical School and in its general work, he gave freely of his
time and effort.

Courtesy and consideration characterized his manner, frankness his utterances, and the
warmth of his personality endeared him to all whose privilege it was to work with him. A distinguished
alumnus, and an honored member of this Board, he will live long in the minds and hearts
of his many friends.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that an engrossed copy of these resolutions be made available to his
family
