Biographical History
Dr. Emmie Craddock (1915–1998) was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. She graduated as an honor student from Rice University (1936) and then earned both her MA (1949) and PhD (1954) in history at the University of Texas. Craddock served in the U.S. Navy from 1942–1946 and retired from the Naval Reserve as a lieutenant commander.
Craddock taught in Southwest Texas State University's history department from 1950–1980. She founded and directed the university's General Honors Program from 1967–1980.
