Dr. John Carroll
from TCU magazine

Dr. John (Jack) Carroll, professor of history was a Pulitzer Prize winner. You can look him up in World Book. He shared volumes of information about: baseball, railroads, the American West, presidents, facts, figures, current events, the list is too extensive for this article. He could lecture on any subject. He could really motivate a student. He possessed a brilliant mind, provided great classroom delivery, he was very humorous (a little ribald), could mesmerize a class, and he was dressed to kill. In two semesters he never wore the same outfit twice. Usually it was a three piece outfit that was anything from a custom-made suit, to a tux, or something else that was equally remarkable. Hats and brief cases were part of the outfits too. He drove a red convertible. His tattoos were everywhere except the face and hands. “They don’t make them like him anymore.”
the other taught russian history and could not keep still, pacing from one side of the room and back. one of his classes was televised to another college the camera could never keep up with him.

John Breyer, Geoscience, was a generous, kind and great professor/teacher and man. He loved to learn, teach and mentor and could not have been more dedicated to students and geoscience. He passed away Octoher 21 and a Celebration of Life is being held today in Sid Richardson.
