Dr. ,!. W. Jones — a man, who for tlie past 26 years has, with true devotion and singleness of purpose addressed himself to the rause of higher education in general and more sperifieally to higher cdueation as he wished to see it exemplified through the Northwest Missouri State College. The growth of the physical plant, the increase in student enrollment, the rise in the scholastic accomplishments of the college faculty members, and the broadened range of achievement fields now available to the students of the Northwest Missouri State College, all attest to the sound educational basis on which the college has been administered during the presidency of Dr. J. W. Jones. Dr. Gordon Strong Faculty Member During the past 26 years, I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. J. W. Jones, retiring President of our Northwest Missouri State College. This rela- tionship has been as a student while he was Dean and a member of the Board of Regents while he was President. President Jones is a dedicated, honest, and hard-working man, capable and true to his profession and his associates. I believe this has been made a better school and the graduates better persons because of his influence and sincere interest in education and people. Mr. Harold Hull President of Board of Regents It is with pride that I recall the progress of the Northwest Missouri State College during the presidency of Dr. Jones, and I consider myself fortunate to have worked with him through many of these years. I learned that Dr. Jones looks forward — seldom backward. His dedication to the interests of the College, to the welfare of its personnel, and to education is sincere. His devotion to duty is real. Dr. Jones drives diligently to achieve goals which he deems pertinent to furthering the program of education, and the College has bene- fited from the realization of many of his ideas. In retirement. Dr. Jones can and will, I am sure, review with pride the things which he and his co-workers have accomplished in the betterment of the College, and in the improvement of the whole program of education. Mabel Clair Winburn Secretary to President Jones
