Rev. Dr. Turner M. Jones
4th President, 1854-1890

"Deep in piety, profound in scholarship, yet modest as a child, he labored with a zeal which knew no weariness and achieved a success in the higher education of women which exceeded the most sanguine expectations of all. His body may moulder away into sacred and pathetic dust, but his influence for good will never cease to be felt... He will continue to live in the lives of the hundreds of young women he educated."
