Harvey was a dedicated churchman and supporter of mission endeavors both internationally and locally. Harvey was a pioneer in the field of industrial psychology. He died Tuesday, 17 April after a relatively recent cancer diagnosis.<br /><br />The next day, the 18th, came word of the death of Dr. Dorothy Truex. She, too, was a William Jewell graduate (class of 1936). Her parents were Missouri Baptist leaders: her father, Chester, was a pastor in central and northwest Missouri; her mother, Madge, was the secretary of Missouri Woman's Missionary Union. The Madge Truex Missions Fund continues to raise support for missions work in Missouri. Dorothy was a pioneer in the student affairs work of higher education. She was Dean of Women at Mercer, University of Oklahoma and University of Arkansas-Little Rock. She had two brothers, Everett and John. <br /><br />These were two national leaders in their professions, but local to many of us with strong connections WJC and support of missions.David M.
