Director of Research in Texas History and Associate Director of
the Texas State Historical Association. In the fall of 1942, he
returned permanently to the University of Texas as Associate
Professor of History, and also became Acting Director of the
Texas State Historical Association because Dr. Walter Prescott
Webb, who had been serving as Director, had just received notice
of his appointment as Harmsworth Professor in American His-
tory at Oxford University in England. Dr. Carroll was named
Director in April, 1946, following Dr. Webb's resignation, and
also became Professor of History and Director of Research in
Texas History at the University of Texas.
On June 3, 1935, Dr. Carroll was married to Mary Joe Durning.
She and one son, Joe Speed, and a grandson, Charles Durning
Carroll, survive him. He was a member of the Episcopal Church,
and of Texas Lodge of Research, A. F. and A. M.
His academic record during his student years gained him rec-
ognition from three national scholarship societies, Pi Gamma Mu,
Phi Alpha Theta, and Alpha Chi, membership in the latter being
restricted to the high five per cent of upper classmen. He held
membership in numerous historical societies, regional, national,
and international, was a Son of the Republic of Texas, and a
member of the Bibliographical Society of America.
Prior to coming to the University of Texas, Dr. Carroll edited
for publication Guadal P'a, the Journal of Lieutenant J. W.
Abert, 1941, and (with J. V. Haggard) Three New Mexico
Chronicles, 1942. With his Texas County Histories; A Bibliog-
raphy, 1943, he initiated a limited book publication program
by the Texas State Historical Association that has continued to
the present, with emphasis on scholarly county histories. His
Texan Santa Fe Expedition-a revised and enlarged version of
his doctoral dissertation-was published in 1951 by the Panhan-
dle-Plains Historical Society. For his scholarly performance in
tracing out the dim trail this expedition followed from Austin
to Santa Fe he was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical
Society. As Managing Editor of the Association's Handbook of
Texas, 1952, it was his responsibility to see the two-volume, two-
thousand page publication through the press, a task that required
acquaintance with all the processes of production from editor to
office boy-one he carried through with great skill. Texas History
