SPARTANBURG, SC-- Dr. Fred T. Adams, 87, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Wofford College and author of an internationally used textbook, The Way of Modern Man (1968) died in Spartanburg on Sunday, April 9, 2006, after a brief illness.Dean of the College Dan B. Maultsby, a 1961 Wofford graduate, expressed his personal debt to Dr. Adams and offered condolences to the family:"I was a student at Wofford when Dr. Fred T. Adams joined the faculty," Maultsby said. "I enjoyed a number of his classes. He was always encouraging and his courses were filled with interesting reading. When I began graduate study in sociology, I found that Fred had referred me as an undergraduate to the latest and best references in the subjects he taught. I realized he was an excellent student of the literature and had a deep understanding of sociology and anthropology. His understanding and scholarship were demonstrated again to me by his writing of the successful introductory text analyzing observations and discoveries bearing upon human evolution."Dr. Adams supported me when I came back to Wofford as a faculty member," Maultsby said. "I appreciate his trust and the freedom he gave me to teach my classes as I thought best. I remember him for his continuing passion for study, his loyalty to the college, and his wry humor and unfailing cheerfulness in dealing with his students and colleagues. I admired the way he went about his work without demand or complaint and the way he respected others who did the same."Paid Funeral Notice
