He has served as a member of the local Public Library Board and as Trustee of his church and the Wesleyan Foundation for students of the Methodist Church. "There are achievements, rare and unmeasurable, which cannot be designated by objective description. They are of the spirit, and observable only as reflected in such personal expressions of others as loyalty, devotion, respect. It is this sort of achievement, perhaps, for which Mr. Windsor will he longest remembered. It is the deep devotion, the profound respect, and the personal loyalty that he has inspired in members of his staff and in the Library School. To these persons and to others in the profession, his greatest achievement is in being a wise and just counsellor, a true professional and personal friend."
