Native of Commerce
Waller was a native of Commerce. He received a BA degree from Texas Tech
at Lubbock, being a member of the first class of that institution. He
graduated from Southern Methodist University with a masters degree and
had done graduate work in Baylor University of Texas, and Peabody
college in Tennessee.
He came to Navarro county as principal and coach at Dawson high school
in 1929 and later was superintendent at Rice, returning to Dawson as
superintendent a few years later.
The educator remained at Dawson until Navarro Junior College was
established in 1946 at the Corsicana Field Air Activities of Texas, site
near Navarro, southeast of Corsicana, when he was elected as its first
president, a post he occupied until his death. Waller guided the
institution through its toughest years, and later through the building
program and establishment in west Corsicana where it is now an
outstanding junior college.

Waller was a prominent Methodist layman and was a frequent lay speaker
and a well-known Bible class teacher. He taught a class last Sunday at
his church and was slated to again teach Sunday. Waller was to have gone
to Austin for a educational meeting during the week. He frequently
appeared on panels and discussions under the auspices of the Texas and
national junior college organizations and administrators groups.
The college president spent Saturday afternoon on his farm on Highway 31
a short distance west of Richland creek, east of Dawson. He complained
of a pain in his chest and later when relief was not secured, a
physician was summoned who arrived shortly before the fatal attack.
Waller, in addition to his activities of his church and chosen
