When beloved (sometimes dreaded) history Prof. Ben Proctor retired in 2000 to emeritus status, his former students wanted a way to show the value of his lessons. So far they have found almost $40,000 ways — which will endow a scholarship for an undergraduate history major whose area of interest is Texas/Southwestern history. The first scholarship will be awarded next fall. The announcement was made at a breakfast in the library during Homecoming in October. Proctor was not only a favorite around campus, he was an All-American football player, a Harvard-educated historian, author of the definitive biography on William Randolph Hearst and a teacher at TCU for more than four decades.
