PRESIDENT «» James Franklin Cox, efficient, understanding, optimistic president of Abilene Christian College since 1932 presents a strength of character, an integrity of purpose, and a firmness of will worthy of the cause for which the college stands. President Cox is a University of Texas man, having grad- uated there in 1904. As a student he was a member of the debating team, a winner in declamation, and a letter man in track. He taught public speaking in the University while doing his graduate work. He took his M. A. degree from there in 1911. He has done advanced graduate work in George Peabody Col- lege for Teachers in Nashville, Tennessee. President Cox is appreciative of student ability, and vitally interested in each activity that intensifies student appreciation. He advocates the kind of knowledge that is broadening because it is based on the foundation of all inspiration, the Bible; he be- lieves in the education which leads to aesthetic values, the arts; in that which leads to expedient values, the sciences; and in that which develops perspective values, literature. Because of his understanding and appreciation of that which leads to a fuller life, President Cox is an inspirational leader.
