Harold C. Havighurst* Robert Wyness Millar was born on April 10, 1876, in Falkirk, Scotland. As a boy of ten, he came to the United States where at an early age he resolved to make the law his profession and directed his studies to that end. Receiving the degree of Bachelor of Laws from the Northwestern University School of Law in 1897, he was admitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of law in Chicago. During the course of his practice he engaged in some part-time teaching, first at the John Marshall Law School and later at Northwestern. In 1915 he accepted a full-time appoint- ment as Professor of Law at Northwestern University, a position which he held until his retirement 27 years later. From 1942 until his death he was Professor Emeritus. As a teacher and scholar, Professor Millar in his early years showed an interest in criminal law, translating Garofalo's work on Criminology (1912) and writing a portion of the History of Continental Criminal Law for the Continental History Series (1916). Throughout his life, however, his efforts were devoted almost entirely to civil procedure. In this field he enjoyed world renown, both for his trenchant and learned studies in the Anglo- American law and for his numerous masterly monographs and essays in comparative procedure.

He was honored by membership in the Institute Espanol de Derecho Processal. In Italian civil procedure, he had a special interest.
