13 years of service on the Court, but they are recorded in Volumes 326 through 357 of the United States Reports, and will always be a living part of our jurisprudence.

Mr. Attorney General, on behalf of the Court, I desire to thank you for your generous words concerning our Brother, and we accept with pleasure the Resolutions of the Bar which you have presented to us. In return, may I ask you to communicate our appreciation to the Bar of this Court and express our thanks for the interest which prompts them to have their sentiments preserved in our records for all time.

Let the Resolutions and your statement be spread upon the Minutes of this Court.

DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE MINTON.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.

MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1965.

Present: MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN, MR. JUSTICE BLACK, MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS, MR. JUSTICE CLARK, MR. JUSTICE HARLAN, MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, MR. JUSTICE STEWART, MR. JUSTICE WHITE, and MR. JUSTICE GOLDBERG.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE said:

Before rising for the Term, the Court records with sadness the passing of Retired Justice Sherman Minton. He is the third of our Retired Justices to have gone to his reward during this 1964 Term of Court. The deaths of Mr. Justice Burton and Mr. Justice Frankfurter have already been recorded in our proceedings.

Justice Minton died peacefully at his home in New Albany, Indiana, at the age of 74 on April 9, 1965, after a long debilitating illness that had caused his retirement from this Court on October 15, 1956. Prior to that date, he had devoted most of his adult life to the service of his native State and Nation.

As a gallant combat officer in World War I, as public counselor for the Public Service Commission of Indiana, as United States Senator from that State, as Presidential Assistant, as Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and for seven years before his retirement as an Associate Justice of this Court, he made important contributions in each of the offices he held to the history of our time. For this devoted public service, he will be long remembered.

Those of us who had the privilege of serving with him on the Supreme Court mourn his loss as we would a brother.
