By Max Holland
With the possible exception
of those fellows who go out on
the football field, few people
today show more devotion to
the University of Nebraska
than James T. Lees showed in
1926.
For Lees, a Greek professor
and provost at the University,
chose the campus for his
eternal resting place.
The site, near Architectural.
Kail, is marked by a 580 lb.
granite rock which reads: "Dr.
James Thomas Lees; He served
Wen; 1889-1926'
The British-born Lees began
his career at the University as
associate professor in 1889,
after completing his doctorate
in philosophy at Johns
Hopkins University. In 1919,
he was appointed provost, the
first in the University's history.
According to Manley's
"Centennial History of the
University of Nebraska," he
was responsible for provost for
supervising all teaching
programs and registration. He
played a large part in shaping
the traditions and policies of
the University.
Manley writes that a
colleague. Prof. Alvin
Johnson, "remembered Lees as
a dyed-in-the-wool British
conservative, a magnificant
scholar, and a 'despiser of his
time and particularly of
anything savoring of
democracy.' "
In 1922, Lees was forced to
retire because of a severe but
unknown disease, according to
his letters in the University
archives.
He eventually moved tq
California, where he died iii
February, 1926. , Lees was
cremated there, and his wife
and Chancellor Samuel Avery
arranged a memorial service for
May at the University.
It is not clear whether Lees
expressed his wish formally in
his will, or just to his wife. On
May 28, 1926, the memorial
service was held, near what was
the University iibrary.
A poem by Dr. F. A. Stuff,
chaplain of the day, appeared
in the program for Lees
memorial service:
"...In vain we waited,
yearning for your return
bowed by the weight of
loneliness alt men must feel.
Now wisely, we turn from tears
that burn to this noble tree.
Here at your bidding then, we
strew the precious contents of
this urn."
