Horace H. F. Jayne

Both parents died when he was in his teens; afterward he and his sister Kate lived with their uncle Dr. William Henry Furness III.

He graduated from Harvard University in 1919, and was a member of its 1923-24 and 1925-26 archaeological expeditions to northwest China, sponsored by the Fogg Art Museum.

[6] He returned to PMA in 1953 as acting chief of Eastern Art, and was named vice-director of the museum the following year.

[8] That summer, director Fiske Kimball sent Jayne on a major buying trip to acquire architectural settings in which to exhibit PMA's East Asian art.

In Nara Prefecture, Japan, Jayne purchased a circa-1400 temple,[9] and in Tokyo, a traditional teahouse by architect Ōgi Rodō (1863–1941).

[8] Reassembly of the reception hall began in 1937, and it was unveiled with the opening of the museum's Asian art wing in 1940.

[8] In 1929, at age 31, Jayne became director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, with its collection that focused on archaeology and anthropology.

Each assessed his museum's holdings in various categories, and exchanged objects to build upon whichever had the stronger collection.

Jayne urged Woolley to terminate excavations after his eleventh season (1932-1933) in the field, in part because the Great Depression had depleted Penn Museum's financial resources.
