Texas A l's President, Dr. Edward Newlon Jones, took over his duties under the most trying conditions imaginable and has done a job of which he himself, and every person in any way connected with A l, may justly be proud. Formerly dean of Baylor University and a faculty member of that school for 17 years. President Jones came to A l with a brilliant educa- tional record behind him. He graduated with a B. S. degree from Ottawa University, Kansas, in 1921. After that he became graduate assistant and fellow in botany at Iowa State University from 1922 until 1925, at which time he received his degree as Ph. D. from that institution. He has done post graduate study at Columbia University and the University of Chicago, and in 1940 the LL D. degree was conferred on him by Ottawa University, his alma mater. President Jones brought with him, however, more than just exceptional qualifications for a difficult job. He brought a determination to see the college grow in size and importance while retaining its friendly, small-school atmosphere, a thing that A l values highly. Through the adverse conditions of the war years he laid plans for future expansion and intrenched against the deteriora- tion that might well have set in during that period. • With the ending of the war and the return of swarms of education-hungry veterans, the East Campus was added to the college and true expansion was begun. When building materials again become available, it will be possible to keep that expansion on a permanent basis as an integral part of the college. The man to head that college, a new and better A l, is President Edward Newlon Jones.
