Theodore Henley Jack (December 30, 1881 - September 20, 1964) was a professor, college administrator, and author. Jack began college at Southern University in Greensboro, Alabama, but he then went to the University of Alabama, where he earned a bachelor’s degree (1902) and a master’s degree (1903).[1] After earning a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1915, he briefly taught at Southern University.[1] However, he quickly left there for a history position at Emory University in 1916, where he also served as dean of the graduate school, dean of the college of liberal arts, and vice president of the university.[1] He left Emory to serve as president of Randolph-Macon Woman’s College from 1933 to 1952.[2]
Emory University has a collection of his papers.[3] The Los Angeles Public Library has his bookplate.[4]
He married Alice Searcy Ashley. Mary Spencer Jack Craddock (December 12, 1912 - September 2, 2014) was one of their two daughters.[5]
