A native of Lake Charles. La.. Dr.
Janos came to Grambbag when tbe
college’s founder, tbe late D r. Charles P.
Adams, sent for the Southern University
graduate to help him build Grambbag
into a college which would provide
educational opportunities for the de­
prived youngsters of North Louis ia ns
Folklore carries ft that when Dr. Jones
bounded from the train ia the toum of
Grambbag ho was greeted by the phys­
ically imposing Dr. Adams (who stood a
robust 6-foot-10) that be was not “tbs

Dr. Adams, ia all of k b wisdom, waa
aadly mistaken in thia instance. Hbtory
would prove later that no man could have
boon more right for Grambbag.
