TRIBUTES AND RESOLUTIONS 53
Rich in knowledge and experience, abounding in vigor
and sympathy, Dr. Favill, though called away in the full
flower of life, had made a name for himself which will be
remembered in Chicago for many years to come. His
activities extended far beyond his profession, in which he
attained an eminence reached only by men of the greatest
skill, wisdom and perseverance. He was alert to all that
had a bearing on human interests and public welfare;
indeed,
considering his laborious and absorbing work as a
physician, it is surprising that he should have accomplished
so much in social and civic enterprises. He was a tower
of strength for all who appealed to him; a man of vision
and high ideals, broad-minded and patient, gentle and
considerate, and, to those who sought him, ever a wise
counselor and faithful friend. The world is the better
for his having been in it. We recognize his generous and
efficient service in St. Luke's Hospital; and in behalf of
the Hospital we acknowledge its loss in his death, and
its gratitude for his great usefulness and deep interest in
all its activities.
