CARTER DAVIDSON On July 1, 1936, almost a year ago, Carter Davidson arrived in Galesburg to assume his duties as president of Knox College. He had before him not just the usual duties of a college president. He had before him the task of leading the students, the alumni, and the friends of Old Siwash through the most important, the most thrilling year in the history of the college—the Centennial Year. His was a difficult, a significant role, and he played it well. Beginning early in the year, he worked earnestly and unceasingly, calling forth cooperation from noted men all over the country, securing the confi- dence and aid of the churches and townspeople of Galesburg, meanwhile winning the admiration and respect of the Knox student body. The success of the Centennial Celebration can be attributed largely to the efforts of our president, Carter Davidson. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1906, and received his primary and secondary education in that city. He attended Harvard for his undergraduate work, graduating with an A.B. in English literature in 1925. His first year out of college found him teaching Speech and English at the Louisville Male High School, during which time he also earned his M.A. in English at the University of Louisville For the next two years he acted as Assistant Professor of English at the University of Idaho. In 1928 Davidson went to the University of Chicago as a member of the English department, and while there he continued his graduate work to receive a Ph.D. in English in 1930. - The next year, however, offered him a position as assistant professor at Carleton College, the position later developing into that of a full professor. So successful was his work that in 1933 President Cowling of Carleton asked him to become Assistant to the President in addition to his teaching. He continued in this capacity until 1936, when he resigned and became the president of Knox College, at the amazingly early age of thirty-one.
