C. C. CODY, A. M., Ph. D., Dean PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS Claud Carr Cody is a Georgian by birth. In 1875 he was graduated from Emory College with highest honors. In 1878 he received the A. M. degree from the same insti- tution; and after a few years of successful teaching, his alma mater honored him with the Ph. D. degree. In 1879, he was elected Professor of Mathematics in Southwestern University, and ever since has held that position. He is the senior member of the faculty and is believed to be the senior college professor in Texas. He having been with Southwestern during the most of her history, it is difficult to conceive how we could have got along without him. The impress of his sinless heart and gentle yet firm hand is indelibly written in every step of Southwestern ' s progress and in the lives of all her gradu- ates. It is not unusual to hear men say that they owe what they are to Prof. Cody and the Lord. As a teacher, a friend, and a citizen, who could be loved better than Pro- fessor Cody? He has held the office of Secretary of the Faculty, Chairman of the Faculty, President of the Ladies ' Annex, Manager of Giddings Hall, and Dean of the Summer schools. At present he is Dean of the College of Science and Liberal Arts, this office having been created and conferred on him in 1906. He is also Secretary of the local Executive Com- mittee of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of the Board and performs an important service in handling the finan- ces of the University. 21
