Abstract
This chapter discusses the major achievements of John Kenyon Netherton Jones in the field of carbohydrate chemistry. Jones was born in 1912, in Birmingham, England. Between 1917 and 1923, he attended the local Bordesley Green Council School. In 1930, he entered Birmingham University, having won a Polytechnic Bursary and a Kitchener Scholarship. He began his studies with great enthusiasm, finding particular enjoyment in the laboratory work. As Chown Research Professor at Queen's University, Professor Jones, in addition to the supervision of the research work of a large number of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and fourth-year undergraduates, taught courses in Natural Products Chemistry and Carbohydrate Chemistry. Professor Jones's outstanding achievements in carbohydrate chemistry were recognized by his receipt of numerous awards and honors. In 1957, he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and, in 1959, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada. The Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry of the American Chemical Society presented him with the Claude S. Hudson Award in 1969. Professor Jones died on April 13, 1977, after a 10-month struggle with cancer.
