Resolution on the Death of John Sherman Horine

On December 21, 1964, there was suddenly taken from us one
of the most beloved and respected "old timers" of the faculty of
the College of Engineering. "Old timer” only in years of faith—
ful and dedicated service, John Sherman Horine, even in retirement,
continued his sincere interest in the College and the University of
Kentucky.

Upon graduation from the College in 1909 he left for a posi~
tion in industry but, after a year, he heeded the call of his
Alma Mater and returned as Instructor in Mechanical Drawing.
Through deserved promotions he became Professor of Engineering
Drawing and for many years was also Advisor to and Co—ordinator
of Engineering Freshmen.

In this latter capacity ”Prof” Horine, by his unselfish
assistants, helped many a young student on his way to a successful
career.

As a teacher, John Sherman Horine excelled. His methods
were kindly but firm and over the years thousands of students
left his classes with a clearer understanding of one of the
fundamentals of engineering, ~ the language of graphics. Besides
teaching, he found time to generously help others by making
drawings and layouts which were unique in their artistic appearance
as well as Correct in detail.

He loved the outdoors and in his hobbies of gardening and
fishing he spent many happy hours.
