Charles T. Hickok, known as 'Mr. Coe,' was a cornerstone of Coe College for decades. He served as a professor, department founder, and educator, teaching disciplines such as economics, American government, and sociology. Beyond the classroom, he edited the Courier without pay, advocated for faculty salary sacrifices during financial crises, and actively recruited students statewide. His legacy includes Hickok Hall, a social sciences building named in his honor. A beloved figure, he was celebrated for his wit, teaching methods, and dedication to students’ welfare, even offering them housing and job placements. He passed away in 1958 at the age of 88, still engaged with academic materials.
