Austin Kingsley Jones, will be buried at the Cambridge Cemetery this afternoon. The funeral services will take place at the house of his daughter, Mrs. W. C. Wardwell, 465 Broadway, Cambridge, at 2 o'clock. All members of the University, who care to attend will be very welcome, but the family desire as quiet a funeral as possible.

Mr. Jones, better known to Harvard men as "Old Jones," took charge of the buildings of Harvard University in 1858, and retained this position for 40 years. He entered the service of the University under President Walker, but since his advent three other men have held the executive position. After "Old Jones" resigned in 1898, he still continued to ring the bell in Harvard Hall, until 1908. His popularity with the students was great, and his family have received many messages of sympathy from alumni.
