Some excerpts from: "A Stately Pleasure Dome" by Janice Turner. 10th Anniversary Edition, 1977. Second Printing
To Theodore (Doc) Jones, who planted the palms in the atrium and loved the great building for all of his 90 years.
And from page 24:
The gardens around the buildings we meticulously kept as ever because of the benign influence of Theodore "Doc" Jones, who had been in charge of the hotel gardens since 1908 and who was retained by the Jesuits. He retired in 1966 and celebrated his 90th birthday in 1974.
Students, lay brothers, and faculty members left with heavy hearts. The great old building had become their home. After the last Jesuit had departed, one familiar figure remained-the faithful "Doc" Jones who now served as caretaker.
