Estate of W. Clyde Hyder
W. Clyde and Marie Hyder were distinguished representatives of the ideals of excellence Tennessee Tech exemplifies - in both education and citizenship. Mrs. Hyder's service to the community included her devoted volunteer efforts with the Farm Bureau and the Cookeville Regional Medical Center. As the coordinator of the hospital's Lifeline program, her tireless work helped make life easier for many patients. Mr. Hyder's dedication to Tennessee Tech spanned his years as a student, a teacher for 34 years, chairman of the animal science department, emeriti faculty member, and treasurer of the Agricultural Foundation. His numerous awards and honors include the Distinguished Alumnus Award and the Distinguished Agricultural Alumnus Award from Tennessee Tech, the Tennessee Tech Outstanding Faculty Award, the NACTA Interstate Distinguished Teacher Award, honorary State Farmer degrees, listing in several Who's Who publications, and membership on many boards for community and state service. HIs most notable achievement, however, was the indescribable influence he had on his students and acquaintances. One such former student was Tommy Burks. Because of the strong relationship that remained between Mr. Hyder and Senator Burks, the Tennessee Technological University Agricultural Pavilion carries both of their names.
