Dr. Claude Carr Cody Dr. Claude Carr Cody is a Georgian by birth and education. He graduated from Emory College in 1875 with highest honors, and three years later his Alma Mater honored him with the Ph.D. degree. Dr. Cody was called to Southwestern Uni- versity as Professor of Mathematics in 1879, when the institution was struggling for its existence. His life and the advancement of Southwestern have always been one and the same thing and it is mainly through his ef- forts that she has advanced to her present high position among the Southern Colleges and Universities. Dr. Cody has been successively Secretary of the Faculty, Chairman of the Faculty, President of the Annex, Manager of Giddings Hall, Dean of the Summer School, and at pres- ent he holds the responsible position of Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Secretary of the Executive Committee of the University. Dr. Cody has written several books during his thirty-six years of active service as a professor of Southwestern. Among them are his Life of Dr. Mood, and his textbooks of Plane and Solid Geometry. There is no doubt that the students love Dr. Cody more than any man living next to their father, for indeed he is as a loving father to all the students, boys and girls alike. When anyone wants help or advice he always goes to Dr. Cody, who is always happy that he can help someone. May his Christian character, which has inspired so many thousand students, continue to be a blessing for many years yet to come. Dr. Claude Carr Cody, A.M. Ph.D. Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Professor of Mathematics. X 19
