“The Martha, David, and Bagby Lennox Foundation” This seminar series was made possible by the generous support of the Martha, David, and Bagby Lennox Foundation. This foundation, which has funded three permanent endowments at Trinity over the years, has a rich history with the University. Although the Foundation was established in 1985 in Houston, its founders and their family have been connected to Trinity since its founding in the 1800s. The Foundation is named for three siblings, now deceased, who were all born in Clarksville and all graduated from Trinity when it was located in Waxahachie. Their father and grandfather, C. D. Lennox, Sr. and A. J. Latimer, both served as Trinity trustees in the University’s early years. Albert H. Latimer, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and the great grandfather of Martha, David, and Bagby, was one of the founders of Trinity University. The three siblings never married and lived together in Clarksville for many years. Much of their wealth was derived from cattle and cotton, raised on 14,000 acres in Red River County and elsewhere, and the eventual sale of that land and its oil and mineral rights. Today, the foundation trustees include Sam Lennox Hocker, a 1970 Trinity graduate, as well as William Streng, and Mary Clark. The Foundation gives to educational and environmental causes as well as to animal welfare, historic preservation, and social and human services. The Foundation’s giving remains focused primarily in Texas.
