Ferry Baptist Church where he has taught Sunday School for twenty-five years and has served as chairman of the deacons, as well as in the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association, where he has served as moderator. Dr. English Jones is a self-made man. He worked his way through the Indian Normal School high school program, establishing his innate leadership abilities from the outset. Dr. Jones went on to serve in World War II, three of his four years being spent in Europe as an Air Force first sergeant. After the war, he attended Western Kentucky University and was graduated from the University of Kentucky. He later received a Master ' s Degree from North Carolina State Univer- sity. In 1965 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Wake Forest University. In 1956 he joined the faculty of the then Pembroke State College as a professor of agricultural science and biology. Advancing rapidly, he became presi- dent of the institution in 1962 and convinced Gov- ernor Terry Sanford and the state legislature of the wisdom of a bold expansion program for the col- lege. In 1969 Pembroke State College became Pem- broke State University. In 1972 it became a part of the University of North Carolina 16-campus sys- tem, and Dr. Jones was named chancellor. In 1978 a full-fledged graduate program was approved for the university. The record of growth statistics between 1962, when Dr. Jones became president, and 1978, when he announced his impending retirement, is as fol- lows: enrollment, 758 to 2,334; number of faculty, 35 to 134; campus value, $1,448,293 to $16,666,000; number of buildings, 9 to 25; number of graduates each year, 98 to 410; number of staff positions, 22 to 159; financial aid, $30,000 to $977,000; percentage of faculty members holding doctorates, 22 percent to 61 percent. Such dedication indicates that Dr. Jones exemplifies the motto found on the seal of the Uni- versity: Knowledge, wisdom, devotion, service. ENGLISH b. Mil HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION CENTER
