CLAUDE CARR CODY, Ph. D, Prof. Claude C. Cody may well be called the Nestor of South- western University. Although he is yet comparatively a young man, having come to Southwestern directly from his Alma Mater while his commencement honors were his latest achievements, he has remained at his post until all the professors who were here when he came have gone out, and until the boys and girls he taught mathematics, when he himself was not. much more than a boy, have gone out and taken honorable places in the walks of life and are now sending back the second generation to be trained by the same tried and trusted hand. Prof. Cody has the distinction of having occupied a professorship, continuously, longer than any other man in Texas. Me has had no little to do in shaping the char- acter of many of the recognized leaders in the social, political, and religious life of Texas. And since he is just now in his prime, his career of usefulness is but begun, lnadditionto hiswork of fulIPro- fessor, he has had largely in charge the financial matters of the in- stitution, and has also rendered invaluable services to the Board of Trustees as a member of the local Executive Committee. Besides all this, he has for years had charge, as Superintendent, of one of the largest and best organized Sunday Schools in the State. Above all, his genuine Christian character, his modest, unassuming man- ners and his sterling integrity make his life and work a constant stimulus to all the students. In addition to the varied and active duties connected with the offices above named he finds time and inclination to mingle with the public school teachers of the State, and is recognized by them, in their State meetings, as a welcome and valued associate. Me believes in the public school teachers, and has done much to make many of them staunch friends of Southwestern. Prof. Cody is an alumnus of Old Emory, as the boys famil- iarly call Emory College. Having taken their highest degree in reg- ular course, he was, after a few years of successful teaching, hon- ored with their Ph. D., and no one of the many brilliant sons of that noble institution has reflected more genuine credit upon it than he. This edition of our Annual is dedicated to him, not that we expect thereby to heap additional honors upon him, for the honor is ours. We are proud to present him on our opening page to our friends, our fellow and former students. Me has given to South- western nearly thirty years of faithful and efficient service, and the verdict of the students past and present, is Well done.
