DIED OF HEART ATTACK
Noted For His Campus Lectures,
Wenley Gained Great Respect
From Student IDody
Prof. Robert Mark Wenley, for
more than a quarter of a century
professor of philosophy at the Uni-
versity, during which period his
scholarly attachment to his field,
his free and sincere friendship with
his students and colleagues, and his
masterful and energetically aggres-
sive personality inspired love and
respect in all who had contact with
him, died quietly yesterday noon at
his home. He was stricken with a
heart attack Thursday night in his
home, and passed away 15 hours
later in the presence of his wife,
his daughter, Mrs. H. C. Sadler, and
H. C. Sadler, dean of the Engineer-
ing college.
Close friends and associates in
the University expressed poignant
grief and a feeling of irreparable
loss when the news of Professor \
Wenley's death reached them. Pro-
fessor Wenley's connections on the
campus were multifold, the result
of continued growth of friendship
since he first came here from Glas-
gow in 1896 to accept a chair in
the philosophy department. He has
headed the philosophy staff here
since that time.
Was Nationally Famous
The .national and international
reputation of Professor Wenley, due
to his zealous research and schol-
arly and splendid contributions to
the field of modern philosophy, ex-
ceeded his local prestfge. He was
affiliated with the best of the re-
nowned educational groups and so-
cieties of intellectual research the
world over.
A native of Edinburgh, Scotland,
he was born July 19, 1861. His early
education was received in prepara-
tory schools in Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and he received his Mas-
ter of Arts degree at Glasgow Uni-
versity in 1844. He pursued post-
graduate work at the University of
Edinburgh and received the degree
of Doctor of Science from that in-
stitution. Several years later, the
University of Glasgow conferred
on him the Doctor. of Philosophy
degree, and then a Doctor of Laws
degree. Before coming to the Uni-
versity of Michigan, Professor Wen-
ley was on the staff of the Uni-
versity of Glasgow, Queen Mar-
garet's College in Glasgow, and the
Hartford Theological Seminary. He
continued his graduate work at
Paris, Rome, Marburg, Gottingen,
Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Wrote Prolifically
Besides his teaching activity, Pro-
fessor Wenley spent much of his
time writing. The total of his print-
ed contributions is well over 500,
and includes over 300 magazine
articles and reviews. His latest lit-
erary achievements include a book
on the life and work of Prof. George
Sylvester Morris, 'Stoicism and Its
Influence," and the editing of and
introduction to the poetry of :John
Davidson.
He was. a Fellow of the Royal
Society of Edinburgh, the Royal
Society of Literature, a member of
the Aristotelian society, the Ameri-
can Psychology society, and for a
while on the council of the Goethe
society of London. In 1901 he rep-
resented the University at the 450
anniversary of the founding of the
University of Glasgow, and from
1925 to 1927 he was a director of
the American University Union in
Europe at the London Branch.r
The funeral is planned f or 4
o'clock, Monday afternoon at St.
Andrew's Episcopal church. Inter-
ment will be at Forest Hill cemetery
and will be private.
