Cox, the now-retired 9th Hollis Professor of Divinity, drew quite the crowd to Harvard Yard last week by unleashing a cow to graze on the big green to mark his retirement. “There is a long-standing legacy that the Hollis Professor had the privilege of grazing his cow in the Yard,” said Cox’s literary agent Donald R.

Cox retired this past June after 44 years at the Harvard Divinity School, where...
