IN MEMORIAM
Dr. John Flower Bullard (COR '22), 76, died
February 15, 1976. Dr. Bullard, Professor
Emeritus of Veterinary Surgery, retired in
1968 after 39 years of service to the University. He joined the faculty in 1929 after brief
periods of practice in his native New York
and in Kentucky, and of associations with
Kansas State University where he received a

University of Kentucky.
JOHN F. BULLARD
1899-1976
At Purdue, he advanced to the rank of
Professor, was the first Head of the
Department of Veterinary Clinics, and later
became Assistant Dean. For many years, he
gave outstanding attention to the health of
the University's cattle, swine, and sheep
populations, taught courses in animal
diseases, and counseled many students
interested in veterinary medicine. He
organized the clinics into a teaching
department in the new School of Veterinary
Science and Medicine. Becoming Assistant
Dean in 1961, he served in this capacity until
his retirement.
Dr. Bullard's instructional and research
fields were large animal medicine and
surgery. He was a co-author of two
veterinary medical textbooks and author of
over fifty case reports, research reports, and
bulletins.
Memorial contributions may be made to
the Bullard Memorial Veterinary Medical
Library Fund and sent to Dr. J.J. Stockton,
Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine.

OUTSTANDING TEACHERS CITED
Inspirational and motivational are two
qualities frequently mentioned by students
when identifying the characteristics of a
good teacher. Being what we are and where
we are, all of us in the University should be
expected to possess these and other traits
which help and cause others to want to
learn. Purdue's veterinary medical faculty
takes pride in its curriculum and the attention given to sound instruction. Students
respond and this year helped to identify
four for special recognition:
Dr. E.H. Page was this school's nominee for
one of three Standard Oil Outstanding
Teacher Awards in the University. In the all-
University competition he emerged as one
of the three to receive University
recognition and was so honored by
President Hansen at the Spring Semester
Faculty Convocation on 29 April.
