Known for being approachable, a gentleman and well-dressed; he was known and admired by many.〔Ben Lieberman,(1934, July). University of Illinois News. Record Series 39/4/1, University of Illinois Archives〕 He received world-wide acclaim for his research and contribution to the heating, ventilating field; in particular for his contributions to the Holland Tunnel.〔("History - Holland Tunnel - The Port Authority of NY & NJ." ) The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, 2010. Web. 22 Nov. 2010.〕 In addition to his contributions to heating and ventilation industry, Willard was an educator in heating and ventilation and mechanical engineering between 1906 and 1933. He taught at George Washington University and the University of Illinois. Willard was appointed president in 1934 and served until 1946.〔Was President for 12 years 1934 to 1946. (1960, September 12).

At the end of service to the University, the Institute of Aviation was established at University of Illinois Willard Airport, and it was named in honor of A.C.

==Early life and career==
Arthur Cutts Willard was born on August 12, 1878 in Washington, D.C., the only child of Alexander and Sarah Cutts Willard, both natives of Maine.〔 Willard graduated from Central High School in Washington D.C in 1897. He then spent two years at the National College of Pharmacy at George Washington University.〔 He graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1904 with a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering.〔Dean Willard Made U of I President.(1934, March 14).''Daily News'' Record Series 39/1/4. University of Illinois Archives〕
Willard had many career changes after graduating from MIT. He returned to George Washington University in 1906 to become an assistant professor of mechanical engineering. In 1909 he became assistant sanitary and heating engineer in Army Quartermaster Corp and two years later he became full engineer.〔 In 1913, he left Kentucky to come to the University of Illinois to serve as an assistant professor in heating and ventilation. In 1917 he was named full professor in the mechanical engineering department.〔Ventilator's Award Goes to Willard (January 19, 1936).''Daily Illini''. Pg. 1. Record Series 39/4/1 University of Illinois Archives〕 The majority of his work at the University of Illinois was related to ventilation and refrigeration. During this year he also served as an engineer consultant for the army encampments and for the bureau of mines.〔New University Leader. (1934, March 15).''Daily News'' Record Series 39/1/4. University of Illinois Archives〕 In 1920 he became the head of the mechanical engineering department. Willard also served as a consultant on ventilation to chemical war service and adviser to national public health. He authored several books such as Heating and Ventilation as well as, Power Plans and Refrigeration.〔The New President Elect(1934, March 14).''Urbana Courier'' Record Series 39/1/4. University of Illinois Archives〕
Willard is most famous for his work with the Holland Tunnel. One of the most challenging aspects of the project was the ventilation system; it was crucial that a method for removing dangerous fumes from the tunnel was developed.〔 His ventilation studies made construction of the tunnel possible. The Holland Tunnel was the first mechanically ventilated underwater vehicular tunnel.〔 An illustration of the model of the tunnel can be found at http://www.library.illinois.edu/archives/archon/index.php?p=digitallibrary/digitalcontent&id=6107.The Holland Tunnel system was eventually used elsewhere in the United States and around the world.〔Was President for 12 years 1934 to 1946. (1960, September 12).''Urbana Courier''. Record Series 39/1/4. University of Illinois Archives〕 In the fall of 1933, he began serving as dean of the College of Engineering after the position was made vacant by Professor Milo S. Ketchum.
