'John Harrington Cox, 1863-1945; John H. Cox was a teacher of English in his native Illinois and in North Dakota before joining the faculty at West Virginia University in 1902 as an instructor. He held the position of professor of English philology from 1904 until his retirement in 1932. Professor Cox will be remembered for his establishment of the Beowulf Club at the University in 1908 as a means of arousing student interest in old and middle English Literature.
