This was a College for coloured students and was very poorly funded. Cox was only the second faculty member to hold a doctorate and he set about trying to raise the level of the College which did not even possess a science library.
Ito ay isang kulay College para sa mga mag-aaral at ay tunay na mahina pondo. Cox ay lamang ang ikalawang miyembro ng mga guro na humawak ng titulo ng doktor at siya i-set ang tungkol sa trying sa itaas ang antas ng College na hindi kahit na magmay-ari ng isang science library.
