Photograph of C.L Eason, Professor of Latin and Greek at Samuel Huston College

Black and White portrait of C.L. Eason from a university yearbook identifying Eason as a professor of “Greek and Latin”.

Lovinggood was not the only teacher of Classics at Sam Huston. C.L. Eason also taught Latin, Greek, and modern languages. While we are fortunate to possess the writings of some educators, others like Eason are known today only through references. To see them as part of a community of educators with shared experiences, knowledge, and aims restores a sense of lived reality otherwise lost.
