Clarence C. Schultz, Jr. of New Braunfels, formerly of San Marcos, Texas, passed away on Sunday, September 30, 2012, at the age of 87. He was born on October 31, 1924, in Temple, Texas, to Clarence C. Schultz, Sr. and Beatrice Newton Schultz. He graduated from Temple High School in 1941 at the age of sixteen. Over the next couple of years he attended Temple Junior College and worked as an administrative assistant for Interstate Theatres in Temple and as an advertising sales representative for the Temple Daily Telegram.
He enlisted in the naval V-12 officer training program in December 1942, began his training at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, and was commissioned an Ensign in January 1945 at the U.S. Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School in Chicago. He was assigned to an escort carrier in the Atlantic as a deck officer and was released to inactive duty in March 1946.
On October 29, 1943, he married Margie Beran of Temple. They were married for 66 years. Two children were born to their union, Timothy Wayne Schultz, in 1948, and Theresa Bea Schultz, in 1956.
After his military service he worked as an assistant manager for McClellan Stores, first in Laredo, Texas, and then in McAllen, Texas. In 1947 he decided to complete his college degree and enrolled in what was then Southwest Texas State Teachers College, earning a Bachelor of Science in 1948, and a M.A. in 1949.
He accepted a position at SWTSC in September 1949 as an instructor in history and sociology and at the same time began his doctoral studies in sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. He also attended the University of Chicago as a graduate student in 1952, and was a teaching fellow in the Sociology Department at the University of Texas, 1952-1953.
From June 1953 until August 1965 he was a member of the faculty at Lee College in Baytown, Texas, serving as chair of the Division of Social Sciences from 1961 to 1965. While at Lee College he taught sociology as well as classes in American and European history, political science, economics, and an honors class in humanities. He also coached the college debate team. In 1988, some twenty years after his tenure there, the Lee College Former Students' Association named him an Outstanding Former Instructor. The following year he was awarded an honorary degree (AA) by Lee College.
In September 1965 he became an Assistant Professor of Sociology at then Southwest Texas State College and resumed his doctoral studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where he received a Ph.D. in sociology in 1970. Clarence advanced through the ranks to become Professor of Sociology; the first chair of the Department of Sociology in 1971; Acting Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, 1977-78; and Distinguished Professor of Sociology Emeritus in 1998. He retired in 1990 after a career of forty-one years of teaching.
During his teaching career at what is now Texas State University he received numerous teaching awards including Pedagog Teaching Excellence Awards in 1973 and 1974; Homecoming Distinguished Teaching Award by the Alumni Association in 1976; Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching, 1985; Teaching Award of Honor by the Alumni Association, 1991; and in a state competition, a Piper Professor of Teaching Award in 1976 given by the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation.
After receiving his doctoral degree, he wrote two published books in his field, contributed a chapter to a third, and produced a number of research articles and book reviews for professional journals.
While a college student, Clarence was elected to membership in two national scholarship honor societies, Alpha Chi and Alpha Kappa Delta. Throughout his life he was a member of the Methodist Church.
His parents, his wife, Margie (2010), and a sister, Beatrice Scott preceded him in death. He is survived by his son, Tim Schultz and wife, Kari of San Antonio; his daughter, Theresa Stanley and husband, Paul of New Braunfels; and his beloved granddaughter, Cary Leigh Stanley, also of New Braunfels.
