Excerpt from The University of Texas Record, Vol. 9: January 1, 1910 What might have been the achievement of Mr. Miller if the three score years and ten of the Bible had been allotted to him in' the enjoyment. Of health and his mental faculties? The past gives promise of the future. He was a remarkable man, he excelled where he tried. His efforts were by no means limited to the pursuit of his profession. He strove to upbuild it. He contributed to this by his membership in the State and Na tional Bar Associations as a constant, active worker for the ad vancement of all his brethren. Careful scrutiny of the mode of Texas legal procedure convinced him of the necessity for radical changes, and he presented at the Bar Association his views with force and eloquence. At the time of his death he was the Chair man of its Committee on Reform of our System of Civil Procedure. His work was unfinished. Mr. Miller never was a politician; but he was a true citizen of Texas and Austin, ever anxious to espouse the cause of those who, according to his deliberate views, were striving for the State and city's welfare. The duties of a citizen were as sacred to him as those he owed his clients, and not only as City Attorney, but also as private citizen, he cheerfully gave the best of his judgment and his time to the proper solution of the questions that confronted the community. N or did he ever fail his friends, his fraternity, the Beta Theta Pi, nor the other associations and clubs with whom he affiliated. Last, not least, he was, through life, .an unostentatious but staunch Christian, a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
