Earnest Boyce, a University of Michigan professor emeritus of sanitary engineering and an international public health adviser, is dead at the age of 94.

He died Saturday at his home in Ann Arbor.

Boyce joined the U-M faculty in 1944, coming from the University of Kansas. He became chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering in 1947, a post which he kept until his retirement in 1962.

Among the many international posts he held were consultant to the U.S. Public Health Mission in Germany in 1951, a member of the World Health Organization medical team in Indonesia in 1953 and chairman of a three-engineer team sent by the Agency for International Development to India to help develop plans for a water supply program in 1960.

A memorial service will be announced later. Memorial contributions may be made to the Lions Club for the benefit of the blind.
