a Mjcn M xn A xa Mt ix TO Dr. H. B. Jones A DEDICATION B.A., Wake Forest College, 1910; M.A., University of Chicago, 1920; Ph.D., University of Chicago, 1924; Instructor in Latin, Cullowhee Normal School, 1912-17; Head of Department of English, ibid., 1917-20; Professor of English and Head of the Department, Simpson College, 1921-24; Professor of English, Wake Forest College, since 1924. IN HIS QUIET and unas- suming way Dr. Henry Broadus Jones has long since become a vital part of the Wake Forest College tradi- tion. His nineteen years of teaching English here have firmly established the true permanence of his contributions to the school. Those who have been in best position to observe him as teacher, administrator, and committee- man know how well Dr. Jones has filled his place without fanfare and without ostentation. It has remained for these associates and students to catch for themselves the fullest appreciation of his abilities and to make expression of his worth as a teacher and as a man. In the classroom Dr. Jones has brought a bet- ter understanding of and a closer acquaintance with the giants of English literature — Shakes- peare and Milton and Wordsworth and Shelley and Keats and Tennyson and Browning. He has scoffed at the idea that these men were set apart in a golden clime, and has interpreted them as strongly sensitive individuals as human as ourselves. He has held their works to the light of keen analytical study and at the same time has sacrificed none of the beauties and truths which lie in them. Apart from his teaching, Dr. Jones has been an untiring worker in the administrative pro- gram of the college. An examination of the personnel of important faculty committees for the last two decades will reveal that he has served on a surprisingly large number of them. Any- one, for instance, who has visited Dr. Jones in his office during the last few weeks before the college catalogue is issued will remember that his desk was always filled with notes on cur- ricula and with information about Wake Forest. In this perplexing college year of 1942-43, Dr. Jones has typified the spirit of calmness and resolution and determination in the face of the many problems which have jolted Wake Forest since the War began. It has been his sincerest conviction that the college must and will hold up under all the strains of war, no matter how taxing they may be. And his faith in the future is unbounded. It is with respect for his many talents and gratitude for his wide uses of them that this, the forty-first issue of The Howler, is dedicated to Dr. H. B. Jones.
