Jonathan Jones had sown the seed that led to the formation of the Council and Shortridge Hardesty went on to nurture its early growth as chairman for the first 12 years of its existence. The efforts of these two were of paramount significance to the Council. When, due to ill health, Dr. Hardesty retired from the chairmanship in 1955, he was made an Honorary Member, and when he died a few months later, the following resolution was passed:
Shortridge Hardesty
September 13, 1884-October 16, 1956
Column Research Council records with sadness the passing on of Shortridge Hardesty. As Chairman and director for twelve years, Mr. Hardesty gave fully his love, devotion, and material assistance to the organization and continued support of the Column Research Council activities. His mind not only grasped the practical problems of engineering application but instinctively went beyond to encompass the fundamental knowledge that underlies research. His influence was a personal inspiration to all who worked in Column Research Council and his kindly spirit will remain with it for so long as it may continue.
