l.. M. ,L , . 'Wi EW I . ' Colonel John L. Davis ecficalian Although john L. Davis is a relatively new member of the Rutgers administration, we have affectionately dedicated to him this 1947 Starlet Leiter. He has been with us two and a half years, hrst as Major Davis, then Colonel, and now, Mister, Throughout this period, john Davis has proven himself a genuine friend of Rutgers. It is his warm and colorful personality, the readi- ness to lend a hand when the going is rough, that easy laugh under awesome brows, that we remember more than his distinguished career as an educator or his biography in lVbo'r Ufbo. As that major from California, he came to Rutgers as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. But the Military Department was not his only stronghold, for seldom did Rutgers com- pete on field or court when the collective cheers of the Davises did not ring out in support of the Scarlet. His boys as individuals liked that loyalty, Rutgers the institution admired his con- scientiousness, for when he retired from the Army the University would not let him leave. He became Director of Housing. As undergraduates, as friends, as Rutgers Men, we have come to know, and to love, John L. Davis.
