RESOLUTION 03 THE DEATH OF JAMES THOMAS COTTWN NOE

James Thomas Cotton Noe, gentleman and friend, teacher and
scholar, IOVer and counselor of youth, philosopher and individualist,
poet and idealist, died November 9, 1953, at his home in BeVerly Hills,
California. He Was born in Washington County Kentucky, near Spring-
field, May 2, 1864. He Spent his childhood on a farm and in Spring—
field. He received his early education in the schools of Kentucky
and graduated frOm Franklin College, Franklin, Indiana, in 1887.
During his third year in college he won prizes for his knowledge of
Greek and Latin and for his ability in oratory. He was pitcher and
captain of his college baseball team, and pitched one summer for the
Franklin Ball Club.

After graduation, he taught two years in small high schools in
Kentucky and Indiana, before entering Cornell University for gradu-
ate study in Shakespeare, English Literature, and Philology. He
received his M.A. degree from that institution in 1890 and returned
to Kentucky. He taught in a district school in Marion County and
then became instructor in English at Williamshng Institute, now
Cumberland College, Williamsburg, Kentucky. While there, he met and
married Sidney Stanfill. He then returned to his home town, Spring-
field, and began the practice of law. He was Police Judge of Spring-
field four years.

He resentered teaching in 1898, serving as principal of Harts-
ville Masonic Institute, 1898 to 1901, of Theodore Harris Institute,
Pineville, Kentucky, 1901 to 1904, and as instructor, Lincoln
Memorial University, in Tennessee 1904 to 1906. He was instructor
of English at the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Lexington,
afterwards the University of Kentucky, 1906 to 1908. He became
head of the department of education in 1912, and served in that
capacity until 1923 when the department Was raised to the rank of
College of Education. He recommended that a younger person be
selected as dean. His advice was followed, and he continued on the
staff as professor and head of a department until he accepted a
special assignment in 1934.

Dr. Noe Was an inspiring teacher. He was an idealist, and
poetry was as much a part of him as the color of his eyes. He

could make the stern facts of life live and glow with love,
sympathy, hepe, and song that stirred his students to develop full
and useful lives.

His published volumes of verse are: LOOM or LIFE, 1912; THE
BLOOD OF RACHEL, 1917; TIP SANS OF KENTUCKY, 1926; LIKCOLN AND
TWENTY O HER POEMS; THE LEGEND OF THE SILVER BAND, 1932; THE VALLEYS
OF PARNASSUS, 1935; A BRIEF ANTHOLOGY OF KENTUCKY POETRY. 1936; 00L”
OOLOON, 1938; IN KENTUCKY, 1940; and TIP SANS AGAIN, 1947. He was
made Poet Laureate by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1926. He
received the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature from his Alma
Mater in 1919 and the Doctor of Letters from Georgetown College in

1934.

Cotton Noe was loved and honored by the members of the faculty
of the College of Education for his broad human sympathy, his sine
cerity, his breadth of interest, and his sense of humor. James L.
Harman, a dear friend of Dr. Noe, has outlined his personality for
us in these words: "There was an unusual commingling of qualities
that produced his personality~-an explosive outburst against pre~
tense; an almost trembling fervor in the presence of actual beauty
or the beauty he saw in his limitless imagination; a purity of
thought and language as chaste as Keat's Grecian Urn; a philosophy
delving into the seemingly insignificant or going into the far
reaches of human interest; a blind love for those who loved him;
an unpredictable wit and humor in his conversation and writing; a
withering criticism of what he thought was an injustice; and in all
he did, said, or thought, he was as frank as a child. These charm
acteristiCs were vital parts of one whose body Was as rugged as
his thoughts were original."

His eightymnine years were full of service. His colleagues
move forward more surely because of his contributions.
