PRESIDENT Abilene Christian College has, in the person of JAMES F. COX, a sea- soned veteran in the field of education in our state. President Cox was a member of the class of 1904 of the University of Texas. As a student, he was not one lost in the crowd, but with his superior ability he made himself a distinguished worker. He was a member of the university debating team, a winner in declamation, and a letterman in track. He taught public speaking in the university while doing his graduate work, and received his M. A. degree in 1911. He has completed four quarters of work on his Ph. D. in George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, Tennessee. He is q member of Alpha Chi—Southern Scholarship Society— and a life member of the Texas State Teachers Association. He is listed in Who’s Who. Having been president of two colleges — Lingleville Christian College, Lingleville, Texas, and John Tarleton College, Stephenville, Texas—he came to Abilene Christian College in 1920. For twelve years he served as head of the department of education, eight years as dean of the college, and for five years he has served as president. Abilene Christian College is fortunate in having had men of vision as its leaders—men who believe in a careful training of the head, the hand, and the heart, men who have infinite belief in the Bible as the basis of our ideals, our wisdom, our philosophy, and our literature. Such a man is James F. Cox.
