IN MEMORIAM
JOSEPH JAY JONES
Joseph Jay Jones, professor
of English for 40 years, died on February 12, 1999, at age 91.
He
was preceded in death by his wife, Johanna, and their son, David,
and is survived by two daughters, Judy Holden and Suzie Sarrett,
and numerous grandchildren. He was born in Peru, Nebraska, on
June 29, 1908, and attended public schools in Tecumseh, Nebraska.
After three years at Nebraska State College in Peru (1926-1929),
he transferred to the University of Nebraska and graduated in
1930. He then attended Stanford University, where he received
his MA in 1931 and his PhD in 1934.
After teaching at Colorado
State College in 1934-1935, Joe began his 40 years of service to
The
University of Texas. His collegiality was evident in his memberships:
the American Association of University Professors, the Modern
Language Association, the South Central Modern Language Association,
the National Council of Teachers of English, the Conference of
College Teachers of English, and the Texas Association of College
Teachers. His initiative and leadership were reflected in the
offices he held in professional organizations, such as chapter
president of the American Association of University Professors,
chapter president of the Texas Association of College Teachers,
and president of the Union Club. He also served on the editorial
boards of numerous organizations and publications, including American
Speech, Australian Literary Studies, Studies in the Novel,
the Committee on Manuscripts Holdings, and the Committee on American
Literature for the Modern Language Association. His professional
service to the University included an enormous number and wide
variety of committees, such as the Faculty Council, the Committee
on Fulbright Scholarships, the Calendar Committee, the Sophomore
English Committee, and the Texas Union Board.
Joe and his beloved
wife Johanna were very much at home in Austin but they were also
well traveled.
Joe served as a visiting professor at East Texas State College
in Commerce, Texas, the University of Illinois, and the University
of Minnesota. Abroad, he had visiting professorships at Wellington
and Auckland, New Zealand, and at Cape Town and Witwatersrand,
in South Africa. He also had Fulbright fellowships at the University
of Hong Kong and Chinese University, Hong Kong.
In addition to
their travels together, Joe and Johanna were partners in researching
and writing numerous
books and publications. In a period of only three years (1981-1983),
Twayne Publishers published three of their books: Canadian
Fiction, Australian Fiction, and New Zealand Fiction,
despite the fact that Professor Jones "retired" in 1975.
Joe Jones
was an original. A specialist in American transcendentalism,
he practiced a type of self reliance
akin to the values of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
His exploring mind was attracted to the neglected literature
written in English outside England and America, and he worked
hard and long to advance the study of the literature and culture
of Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, Canada,
and other countries in which literature in English was prominent.
He continually requested funds for the purchase of books representing
the riches of Commonwealth literature, offered courses in the
field, and promoted visiting and exchange professorships that
paid special attention to the literature of Australia and Canada.
The
range of Joe’s interests
may be suggested by the numerous hours he devoted—using
a shovel and wearing rubber boots—to cleaning up and caring
for his beloved Waller Creek. For ten years he wrote and revised
an account of this work, his thinking, and his values in Life
on Waller Creek (Austin: AAR-Publications, 1982). This became
his best-known book, very different from yet comparable to Thoreau's Walden.
Joe appeared in Richard Linklater's first film, Slacker,
where his screen presence has been described as striking because
of, paradoxically but characteristically, his complete naturalness.
Other examples of Joe’s versatility, among dozens that could
be given, are his extensive work as editor of the Twayne series
on world literature, his provocative and often controversial
essays on English language teaching and on the art of teaching per
se, and his determination to see Coleridge's poem Kubla
Khan set to music and, some day, to be used as the basis
of a musical drama.
Joe’s capacity for originality
and initiative were exemplified in his "manuscript" project.
Before computers were available to the public, scholars wanting
to research the manuscripts and letters of American authors had
no convenient way of finding which libraries housed the materials
of which authors. Securing partial grants to help finance a resolution
to this problem, but doing most of the work himself, he sent
two waves of questionnaires to over a hundred major libraries,
and then gathered and compiled the information. The result was American
Literary Manuscripts (University of Texas Press, 1960). When
this invaluable aid to research in American literature was published,
the question repeated by scholars was, "Why didn't someone
think of this before?"
That question provides a significant
insight into Joe Jones. He was practical and imaginative, consistent
and wonderfully varied. He was a kind and gentle man, yet outspoken
and bold when working for projects and values he believed in.
Joe’s legacy to his students is the encouragement to be
self reliant and unafraid, to work cheerfully with others but
be willing to challenge routine and advocate reform and innovation.
Clearly, the best way to learn what Joe Jones taught was to observe
closely the man himself.
