Charles Cox

Charles C. Cox III (Col ’66 L/M) has published My Trip Abroad, 1902–03, by Ruth Kent (CreateSpace, 2016). It is the transcribed travelogue of the Kent family of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and their yearlong travels through Europe, beginning in 1902, the year Ms. Kent graduated from Smith College. Many of the locations the family visited were destroyed in World War II—including St. Nicholas Cathedral in Hamburg, the Reichstag building in Berlin and the New Synagogue in Berlin, which seated more than 3,000. Mr. Cox’s next volume will follow the family’s travels through England, France and Italy. Mr. Cox has been an adjunct lecturer in history at Boston’s Northeastern University since 1970. He has also been a businessman in Providence, Rhode Island, for much of his life since graduating from the University.
