IN ME MORI AM DR. CHARLES THOMPSON NEFF, JR. Dr. Charles Thompson Neff Jr., vice-president and comptroller of West Virginia Uni- versity, died on October 27, 1953, of a heart attack. His death was a blow to students and faculty alike. Dr. Irvin Stewart in his eulogy stated Dr. Neff ' s merits: In the passing of Ted Neff, West Virginia University has lost the services of a devoted officer who will be sorely missed. In addition to being secretary of the Board of Governors for more than a quarter of a century, he had served as comptroller and vice-president for years, as well as acting president of the University in 1945 and 1946. His love for the University was deep. His knowledge of operations was unsurpassed; and his wise counsel, genial friendship, and gentle sense of humor were invaluable. No sin- gle person can fill the role which he carried so capably. The University has lost an irre- placable officer and the President of the University has lost a close friend and wise coun- selor. Born in Piedmont, Dr. Neff graduated from West Virginia m 1921, majoring in chem- istry. While in college he was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma social fraternity and a mem- ber of Mountain, ranking men ' s honorary. He served as principal of Beryl High School in his native Mineral County and superintendent of Piedmont schools until 1927 when he became secretary of the University Board of Governors. In 1934, he became University comptroller, a job he continued to hold even after becoming vice-president of West Vir- ginia in 1946. Waynesburg College awarded him a richly deserved honorary doctor of laws degree in 1948. Sometimes men become pillars, but even pillars eventually fall. Dr. Neff died, but he is not dead. A man is dead only when he is forgotten. Ted Neff will live as long as West Vir- ginia University — the school for which he did so much. 22
