General who rose from the ranks of the 14th Infantry
Gen. Campbell B. Hodges
(Awaiting Official Bio and Photo)
Col. Campbell B. Hodges was Regimental CO in 1935-36. I believe, but am not sure, that he became a Major General before retiring to become President of Louisiana State University, before WWII.

A long time ago I wrote you that I thought that Campbell B. Hodges had been promoted to General Officer rank. I recently found a clipping that confirmed that. He was promoted to Brigadier General on December 22, 1936.
Interestingly, he was promoted on the same order as two generals who later became very well known: Walter C. Short and Leslie J. McNair.
