Resolution on the Death of John Sherman Horine On December 21, 1964, there was suddenly taken from us one of the most beloved and respected "old timers" of the faculty of the College of Engineering. "Old timer” only in years of faith— ful and dedicated service, John Sherman Horine, even in retirement, continued his sincere interest in the College and the University of Kentucky. Upon graduation from the College in 1909 he left for a posi~ tion in industry but, after a year, he heeded the call of his Alma Mater and returned as Instructor in Mechanical Drawing. Through deserved promotions he became Professor of Engineering Drawing and for many years was also Advisor to and Co—ordinator of Engineering Freshmen. In this latter capacity ”Prof” Horine, by his unselfish assistants, helped many a young student on his way to a successful career. As a teacher, John Sherman Horine excelled. His methods were kindly but firm and over the years thousands of students left his classes with a clearer understanding of one of the fundamentals of engineering, ~ the language of graphics. Besides teaching, he found time to generously help others by making drawings and layouts which were unique in their artistic appearance as well as Correct in detail. He loved the outdoors and in his hobbies of gardening and fishing he spent many happy hours. ,4 ' _".‘_’.“'\u n . . MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY, FEBRUARY 8, 1965 51} Resolution on the Death of John Sherman Horine (continued) ' . One of his outstanding characteristics was his talent for let- { tering.

John Sherman Horine, in life, set an example to be envied. He was a devoted husband and father and had a sincere interest in his church. His many old friends were dear to him and he had a wonderful capactiy for making new ones. His place in the University and in the hearts of his associates here can never be filled. With his passing a tradition of the school passes - a tradition that will always be an inspiration to those who were fortunate enough to know him. ( -fifix _ “.f“‘-._4 ——-»v. ——“.
