Dr. Louis Henry
Clemson, SC
Dr. Louis Lee Henry, 81, passed away Saturday, September 1, 2012 at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
He was born in Clemson in 1931, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Garnett Henry of Clemson. Henry attended Calhoun-Clemson schools and earned his degree from Clemson in 1953. He then served in the US Army for two years. He earned his Masters and Doctorate Degrees from Florida State University and came back to Clemson University where he taught English for 32 years. He helped shepherd "The Tiger", the Clemson student newspaper for 25 years and was awarded the first alumnae master teacher award as well as an Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. As a teacher and friend, Henry worked to challenge students to examine their faith and their level of commitment.
He is survived by a sister, June H. Cannon (John) of Aiken, SC; nieces, Susan (Greg) Arthur of Lilburn, GA, Leigh Ann (Jimmy) Geter of Acworth, GA; and nephew, David Stuart (Linda) Cannon of Alpharetta, GA; and several grand nieces and nephews; and many cousins.

Was he an English professor? I had a Dr. Henry for advanced composition in 1971 and he was my second best prof. M.C. Bell for calculus 106 was the best!

I knew Dr. Henry very well during my years at CU

from '65-'69, as he served as the advisor to "The Tiger," during my association with the same. He was very reserved and judicious in his advisory role, never once telling us what we could or could not do. Obviously, therefore, we liked him. He did teach a journalism course, if I remember, the only one at CU in those days. I am saddened to hear of his death.

He was one of the most genuine teachers I had for liberal arts classes. He truly cared for his students. I am saddened by his passing.

Dr. Henry put up with our growing pains...

...as budding journalists, men and women. In time, most all of us came to look back on him with a blend of appreciation, admiration and affection.
Godspeed, Dr. Henry.

Dr. Henry taught a Southern literature class around 1980 that was the most enjoyable and challenging class I had in four years. He also taught me never to accept anything just because an "authority" said it was so.***
