2 1 (E. €. (EoM», A. i t, |)l). P-, ?«att Professor of jMatljematics. ' LAUD CARR CODY, a true type of the beloved and rapidly disappearing Southern gentleman of the old school, is a Georgian by birth. Graduating from Emory College in 1875 with first honors, he, in 1878, received his A. M. degree from the same institution. After a few years of highly successful teaching, his Alma Mater, in recognition of his learning and ability, honored him with the Ph. D. degree. In 1879, he was elected Professor of Mathematics in Southwestern Uni- versity, then a newly-established, obscure and struggling college, and here he has remained ever since, standing loyally by Southwestern in her days of adversity, making her advancement his great purpose in life, and exerting with his lovable Christian character and magnetic personality a tremendous influence for the good upon the lives of all her students. His great love for Southwestern, and his self-sacrificing spirit can be no better illustrated than by the willingness with which he has always placed his services at the disposal of the University. He has held the office of Secretary of the Faculty, Chairman of the Faculty, President of the Ladies ' Annex, Mana- ger of Giddings Hall, and Dean of the Summer Schools, and is now Dean of the College of Science and Liberal Arts. Dr. Cody is now the senior member of the faculty and is believed to be the senior college professor in Texas. The biography of Claud Carr Cody and the history of the development of Southwestern University are one and the same. He has lived to see his early efforts in life bearing tremendous fruits. May time deal gently with him in his declining years and permit him to secure on earth a foretaste of that great reward so justly laid up for him in the Great Beyond.
