Robert Cooke and Kenneth M. King The contents of this volume are openly accessible online at ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/17811 Preface The custom of honoring each deceased faculty member through a memorial statement was established in 1868, just after the founding of Cornell University. Annually since 1938, the Office of the Dean of the Faculty has produced a memorial booklet which is sent to the families of the deceased and also filed in the university archives. We are now making the entire collection of memorial statements (1868 through 2009) readily available online and, for convenience, are grouping these by the decade in which the death occurred, assembling the memorials alphabetically within the decade. The Statements for the early years (1868 through 1938, assembled by Dean Cornelius Betten and now enlarged to include the remaining years of the 1930s, are in volume one. Many of these entries also included retirement statements; when available, these follow the companion memorial statement in this book. A CD version has also been created. A few printed archival copies are being bound and stored in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and in the Rare and Manuscript Collection in Kroch Library. However, the primary access (approximately 3,400 pages) is online in the University Faculty Archive at http://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/17811 and within “The Legacy of Cornell Faculty and Staff” Collection at http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/14143 These documents are full-text searchable across all years. Individual memorial statements, as well as volumes of these, may be downloaded. These PDF files include bookmarks and a contents listing with each entry hyperlinked for convenient access. For historical purposes, scans of the original documents are also accessible. This project was sponsored by The Cornell Association of Professors Emeriti. Proofreaders included: Barry B. Adams, Royal D. Colle, Gould P. Colman, P. C. Tobias de Boer, Ronald B. Furry, Donald F. Holcomb, Malden C. Nesheim, Porus D. Olpadwala and Milo E. Richmond. Judith A. Bower, who has edited these booklets for many years, has had oversight for quality control. These were produced by J. Robert Cooke, co-founder of the Internet- First University Press with Kenneth M. King. J. Robert Cooke has also served as Dean of the University Faculty (1998-2003). The archival copies of the source materials were provided by Diane D. LaLonde of the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and Elaine Engst of the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collection. The scanning and optical character recognition services were provided by Fiona Patrick and colleagues in the Cornell University Library’s Digital Consulting and Production Services.

He had retired from active service in 1946 having served on the Faculty of Sibley College for forty-five years. His death removes from the Faculty of Cornell University, one of its oldest and most faithful members. He was born in Canton, Illinois on April 24, 1875, entered Cornell in 1893, and graduated with the degree of Mechanical Engineer in 1897. His attachment to Cornell was quite natural; for his father, William Stebbins Barnard, graduated from Cornell in 1871, studied there for his Ph.D. and was, for some time, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology. Professor Barnard’s interest in his chosen field, steam engineering, was no doubt stimulated by his work under the famous Director of Sibley College, Robert H. Thurston, who was great authority of his day on thermodynamics and kindred subjects, and also by his contacts with John H. Barr, Professor of Machine Design, whose course in steam-engine design was the outstanding senior design course in the college. Professor Barnard remained at Cornell for two years after graduation as an instructor in Machine Design, assisting Professor Barr in the course of steam engine design. During the years, 1899 to 1903, he worked as a designer with the Russell Engine Company of Massillon, Ohio, returning to Cornell in 1903 as Assistant Professor of Machine Design and Steam Engineering. In 1907, he was promoted to a full professorship in Steam Engineering, a position he held until 1915. In that year, he was made Professor of Heat-Power Engineering, a position he held until his death. Professor Barnard’s contribution to the academic life of Sibley College of Mechanical Engineering was noteworthy. From 1907 to 1915, he served as Secretary to the College and from 1938 until his retirement, he was Director of the Sibley School of Mechanical Engineering. His contribution to our war efforts was also noteworthy. During the First World War, he served with distinction as President of the Academic Board, U. S. Army School of Military Aeronautics at Cornell University, and organized and directed the great ground school for army fliers that was housed in Barton Hall, one of the most successful schools of its kind. During the Second World War, he served again as coordinator of civilian pilot training.
