Abstract
IN Sir Henry Jones, professor of, moral philosophy in. the University of Glasgow,.who died on February 4 at his home in Argyllshire, we lose one of our greatest teachers and, since Edward Caird, the leading representative of the Hegelian influence and tradition in English university life. A pathos surrounds the last few years of his, life and also throws light on his personal character and strong mentality. He struggled against the painful disease which has proved fatal with a courage nothing short of heroic. He refused to give up, or even to slacken, his regular work. He persevered with his last undertaking, the Gifford lectureship, under conditions which few could have endured. He lectured even when speech was becoming physically difficult, and he succeeded in delivering the first course. The second course has been interrupted by death, but the series of lectures is written and about to be published under the title “A Faith that Enquires.”
