Abstract
'EARTHQUAKE WILLIS', one of the most colourful and widely known figures in American geology, has passed away. The record says he died at the age of ninety-one ; but those who, a short while ago, saw him striding jauntily cross the Stanford campus, riding his bicycle to the gymnasium, or arguing vehemently with embryo geologists, will tell you that he was still a student eagerly learning his trade. First among the impressions he leaves is one of perennially vigorous, inquiring youth.
