William Bacon Evans (1875-1964) was a long time member of the board of the Tract Association of Friends. He taught in Syria and at Westtown School, and served as a mentor and advocate of younger Friends, keeping them rapt during long trips or meetings for worship by having just the right touch, whether with home-made puzzles, by an arrow through his plain hat, or by his encouragement of budding gifts of ministry or service. His careful records of the work of the Tract Association are a model for current endeavors. His humor was contagious, as was his seriousness of purpose when the occasion required it.
