With the passing of Professor Jesse E. Adams on March 9, 1945, the
University of Kentucky suffered the loss of a Valued member of the staff.
After a rich and varied experience gained in the public schools and colleges
of his native state, Indiana, he came to the University of Kentucky to become
professor of the Philosophy of Education Department in the College of Educa- v
tion in 1925. He serVed the University faithfully and well in different
capacities for 20 years. fl

 

Professor Adams Was first of all a born teacher. He loved to teach
as a poet loves to write or an artist to paint. He had a keen sense of
humor and a mastery of the spoken Word such as few men possess. He sought
to inspire the learner as Well as to instruct him. He strove to stimulate
the student's thinking rather than merely providing him with readyamade
conclusions or filling his mind with facts he might never know how to use.

 

 

Professor Adams was also a productive scholar and author of distinction.
He was a frequent contributor to professional journals. He was the author
of a speller of which three million copies Were sold. He Was joint author
of £2 Introduction 22 Education and the Teaching Process, a college textbook
which has been widely used as a text throughout the nation.

Professor Adams Was a valued counselor of youth. His students were
his friends. To him they brought their troubles and he was never too busy
to help them attempt to view the problem from every angle. He directed
scores of master's theses and about one dozen doctoral studies.

 

 

FrOm 1932 to 1941 Professor Adams was director of the University's
summer school. He also Was acting dean of the Graduate School for a
semester in 1942 while Dean Funkhouser was on sabbatical leave.

Professor Adams was active in numerous professional and civic organimr
tions of which he was a member. He served as president of the local chapter
of the American Association of University Professors for two years and was
adviser of Phi Delta Kappa for three years. He was the first president of
the Faculty Club of the University of Kentucky. He also served as president
of the Lexington Kiwanis Club.

His passing is a distinct loss to the University and to the state.

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY FACULTY APRIL 2, 1945— cont.

Following approval of the above recommendation, Dean Evans moved that
the Faculty recommend to the Board of Trustees the name of Prof. Ezra L.
Gillis for the award for meritorious service. on the ground that as Registrar
of the University he had done much to raise the dignity and standing of that
office in this and in other institutions throughout the country, and that
since reaching the age for change of occupation he had continued to render
a fine service to the University. The Faculty approved Dean Evans'
recommendation,

President DonOVan mentioned again his desire that the University Faculty
devote some time to discussion of important educational issues. He took note
of the fact that some effort along this line had been made during the current
year, and mentioned the report of the Post War Planning Committee as one that
had made a contribution in this direction. President DonOVan stated that there
were many important educational issues that should be considered by the Faculty
and suggested that it might be well to invite to the campus one or more pro-
fessors from other universities who might discuss these matters with the Faculty.
He asked that this suggestion be kept in mind and if it seemed to have merit
it could be considered further at the next meeting of the Faculty.
