Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Carroll "C.A." Quarles, Professor Emeritus of Physics and Astronomy at TCU.

A proud Horned Frog, educator, mentor, and scholar, Dr. Quarles dedicated more than 50 years to teaching and inspiring students. Reflecting on his career, he said that TCU had given him "a lifelong career doing what I loved to do: teach, mentor and be involved with students." Those words perfectly capture the impact he had on generations of Horned Frogs.

His passion for physics was matched only by his commitment to helping others succeed, a commitment reflected in the scholarship he and his wife, Sonja, established to support future physics and astronomy students.

His influence will continue through the generations of students he taught, mentored, and encouraged. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and former students.

Rest in peace, Dr. Quarles. Thank you for all you gave to the TCU community.
