Douglass Houghton
In Memoriam Douglass Houghton, M.D., professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Geology in this University and head of the geological survey in this state. Learned in science, zealous in action while fearlessly engaged in public work, he perished by the overturning of a boat in Lake Superior. Drowned, never, alas, again to be seen until the lake shall give up its dead. He died on October 13, 1845 at the age of 36. The Regents of the University of Michigan have had this monument erected.
