Dr. Floyd James was a good man and good teacher. I always felt comfortable in his class. He was all about teaching and helping the students to truly learn what he presented to us.
Army Major: "Dean" James also taught mathematics at Presbyterian Junior College, prior to the campus becoming Carolina Military Academy.
The following comments are made about Dean James in PJC's 1943 Yearbook "Bagpipe":
Dean of Students Floyd E. James, A.B.. M.A. (Hanover College, Indiana University, University of North Carolina) . Indiana-born. P. J. C. -bound, Dean James keeps students frantic trying to spot Math, tests. But that is not all he does; certainly not. He is Dean of .Students, and in the dormitory he gets to know the students' faults and failures, attempts and successes, perhaps better than anyone. He is one of the chief cogs in the life of om school, and we owe much to his patience and guidance. A star athlete in his college days (he earned eleven letters!) . he later saw service in World War I. Before coming to P. J. C, he was a high school teacher and principal. Famous for the cigar he eternally puffs and for his understanding of the young men's problems, he always lends his support to athletics and other extracurricular activities of the college.
dean james taught me in several classes at cma, general science, algebra 2 & geometry, brillant man who inspired students to learn, he not only made students better students, but also better people , he used to toss his keys high into the air & catch them behind his back, most people didn't know that dean james was a baseball player in his youth & once got a hit off of art nehf(premier pitcher in early days of the major leagues) he was so gracious & i think of him often !
