Ben Procter

It´s been many years. I was a miserable high school student and TCU somehow let me in. Freshman year, 1975, I took a history class from Dr. Procter. I had never paid attention in high school. I loved listening to Dr. Procter. He changed my attitude about school. He was tough. Yes. Tests were challenging. I loved going to class. Couldn´t wait for his next story. He is the only college professor I remember. Truly the best experience I had in college. Grateful for my limited time with him. Left...

Ben was a great man, great teacher and good friend! We miss him

I was one of Dr. Procter's students at TCU and did his grading for 2 years while in graduate school there. I later taught history and used his outline of American History quite a bit down through the years. I remember having great conversations with him and Congressman Jim Wright (who later became Speaker of the House). I did not know of Dr. Procter's passing until 3 years after he had died, and I am very saddened by the fact I was not at his funeral. He was a very good man and the world is...

I will always be able to say, "Dr. Ben Proctor...I Knew him". The best history professor I ever had. He taught me to think and he taught me what was important. Mrs. Proctor and Ben we will miss him.

Ben Proctor was among the best professors I had in a long educational career. He taught me to think, not merely to relay information. I also played some handball and basketball with him. I was most always in awe and respect of him.

So sorry to here this news....And I would love to see you again Ben.

I have so many memories of him. All great people have red hair!

Dr. Proctor was my teacher and mentor. I saw him several times for lunch during Ministers Week in the past few years and treasure those visits. My sincerest sympathy goes out to his family. He will always be a part of my life. I graduated from TCU in 1964 and took both sections of American history from Dr. Proctor.

Ben Proctor was a TCU legend. We will not see the likes of him again. Such a fine fellow, quick wit and distinguished teacher.
