On the first anniversary of his death, a stained glass memorial was hung in the Millsaps-Wilson Library in memory of 1994 Millsaps College alumnus, Jonathan Michael Huber.  Family, friends, and members of the Millsaps faculty and staff were present to honor Huber, who died tragically in a car accident on the Natchez Trace on September 22, 1996.
   Huber, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Huber of Indianapolis, Ind., formerly of Memphis, received a bachelor of science degree with a major in biology.  He was president of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and a member of the Millsaps soccer team.
   According to Theresa Mitchell, the designer of the stained glass memorial, each image within the memorial represents an aspect of Huber's life.  The soccer ball symbolizes Huber's athletic involvement with the Millsaps soccer team; the strand of DNA represents Huber's academic achievement in chemistry and molecular biology; and the sun connotes Huber's relationships with his peers.  "It [the sun] represents Jon as being in the center of the group with the rays coming out from it as his friends," states Mitchell.
   The stained glass memorial hangs in a glass corridor connecting the Millsaps-Wilson Library with the Academic Complex.  It can be observed both inside and outside the library.
   In addition to the memorial, the Jonathan M. Huber Scholarship Fund has been established by the family and friends of Huber.  The endowed scholarship fund will provide scholarships for students who transfer to Millsaps after the freshman year.  The students must demonstrate strong academic achievement, financial need, and active involvement in student organizations and campus activities.
