the great sense of personal loss that followed Jules Davids' death. Jules Davids, scholar, author, professor, brilliant lecturer at Georgetown University for 40 years, is greatly loved, and his legacy is still widely respected. He is honored every year at Georgetown by the Jules Davids medal given in his honor. His final book, which was to have been a definitive study of the life and career of W. Averell Harriman (begun with Harriman's collaboration and then continued by Davids alone) was never completed. Jules Davids's epitaph reads: Greatly loved, a man of gentle wisdom.
