Jones was born on September 25, 1895 in Palmyra, Ohio. He graduated from Hiram College in 1920 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and received his Master's degree from Western Reserve University in 1938. In 1943, Jones was granted an honorary degree of pedagogy from Westminster College (Pennsylvania). During World War I, Jones served in the U.S. Navy. After the Armistice, Jones worked as an athletic trainer and coach, and a school principal before being hired as an assistant to the President of Hiram College. In 193 1, Jones was named Director of Youngstown College by the Youngstown YMCA. In 1935, his title was changed to "President". In this capacity, Jones oversaw the recruiting of faculty, the physical expansion of the campus (starting with the construction of the main building, now known as Jones Hall), the creation of a Youngstown College football team, and the transformation of the urban college into Youngstown University. Jones retired in 1966 and died in Youngstown on February 25, 1982 at the age of 86.
