IN MEMORI AM ADAM LEROY JONES Died: March 2, 1934 The death of Dr. Jones is a grievous blow to us all on Morningside Heights. Our hearts are sorrowful indeed. Dr. Jones was as nearly indispensable as any one academic officer can be. He had organized and practically created the work of uni- versity admissions, over which he presided, with broad and generous outlook, kindly human sympathy and the highest academic ideals. The excellence of the student body in every part of the Columbia University educational system is, in chief measure, due to his policies and their administration. If 5,000 or 6,000 students are turned away from the university ' s doors each autumn, it is not because they are all unfit for admission, but rather because the university ' s resources are taxed to their utmost in caring for those who, by Dr. Jones ' s tests, are deemed to be still more fit. Dr. Jones has left with us an enduring reputation as a college teacher of philosophy and as a university administrator of the first rank. He was a past master of all that concerns the relations between secondary school and college on tile one hand, and those between American college and university faculties at home or abroad on the other. Nicholas Murray Butler. HELENE BIELER Died: September 12. 1933 Miss Helene Bieler, Instructor in Romance Languages at Barnard College, died in New York on September 12. She was born in Lausanne on October 26, 1878, the daughter of Professor Samuel Bieler, D.Sc. After having attended the Ecole Superieure of Lausanne (1890-95) and the Ecole Secondaire of Geneva (1895-98), from which she received the Diplome d ' Eeole Secondaire, she taught in Germany. England, France, and Italy from 1898-1910. In the latter year she was appointed Instructor of the French Language and Literature at McGill University, Canada, where she remained for nine years. In 1919 she was appointed Lecturer in French and Spanish at Barnard College, and was later advanced to the post she occupied at the time of her death. In 1922 Columbia University awarded her the M.A. degree. A gifted and devoted teacher. Miss Bieler asked no more than to give her life to the cause, and her fine character impressed itself upon her students and friends who mourn her loss. Page 2J
