IN MEMORIAM JETER ALLEN ISELY Tlie death of Jeter Allen Isely on September 30. 1954. meant the loss to Princeton University of a beloved teach- er and respected colleague. His friends and acquaintances were shocked and saddened by the news of his passing: even those who did not know him personally were aware that his place would not easily be filled. Professor Isely joined the University ' s Department of History as an instructor before entering the Navy at the outset of World War H. In 1946 he returned to Princeton, was named an assistant professor in the fol- lowing year, and, in 1951, became an associate professor. In his career, Jeter Isely fully embodied the great Princeton tradition of the teacher-scholar. His devotion to scholarship was matched only by his devotion to teach- ing. An active and sympathetic advisor, an outstanding lecturer, and a stimulating precepter. he will always be remembered for his service to individuals, especially to seniors in connection with their theses. In him the Uni- versity had a man of industry, integrity and wide-ranging ability. For those close to him among the faculty and for students past and present, there was a keenly-felt loss — not only of a strong and devoted teacher but also of a warm and generous friend. 12
