O'LOUGHLIN.--William Francis Norman. A committee of the friends of Dr. O'Loughlin, who perished at sea in the loss of the steamship Titanic on April 15, 1912, express their recognition of the unselfishness of his life and the heroism of his death.
It has been decided that the equipment of a pathological laboratory at St. Vincent's Hospital is the most suitable means by which to record the esteem in which the doctor was held by all with whom be came in contact. It would be but carrying on the work of his life, which he spent in doing kind deeds in secret and in solacing the sufferings of the poor. The medical profession in general and his immediate circle of friends in particular have lost a man whose place it will be difficult to fill, yet, while they are the poorer for his absence, the world is richer for his example of a noble life and of unselfish heroism in the face of death.
