MEMORIAL OF (;. il. COX 17 



In 1920 Doctor Cox resigned his position in the School of Mines, and 

 from that time until his death he devoted his energies entirely to petro- 

 leum exploration, the major part of his work being done in the mid- 

 continent field in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Arkansas. He was 

 located in Oklahoma City. 



Doctor Cox was a member of the Alpha of Wisconsin Chapter of Alpha 

 Chi Sitjma, an honorary member of the Beta of Missouri Chapter of Tau 

 Beta Pi, aud a charter member of the Missouri School of Mines Chapter 

 of Phi Kappa Phi. 



He had belonged to the American Institute of Mining Engineers since 

 1912; to the American Association of Petroleum Geologists since 1917; 

 to the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Eflucation since 1919, 

 and to the Geological Society of America since 1920. 



Xot only was Doctor Cox an able teacher, he was also an ambitious and 

 tireless worker and an excellent organizer. He has contributed a number 

 of important papers to the literature of geology and was one of the few 

 men who, in the keen competition of commercial work, kept up his inter- 

 est in purely scientific problems. Had he been spared he would undoubt- 

 edty have contributed much to the further development of our science, 

 contributions rendered especially valuable because guided by the spirit of 

 quantitative precision engendered by engineering practice. He was of 

 the type we can ill afford to lose.
