In 1919 he was elected to serve as a member of the University of Alabama Board of Trustees, a position he held until 1959 -- the longest tenure of any board member in the history of the university.

Dr. Carter was project director for Proust at UAB, a multi-event commemoration held in 1988 as part of the 75th anniversary of the publication of Marcel Proust’s Swann’s Way. Carter is the author of several monographs, was the producer of an award-winning documentary on Proust, and is acknowledged as a world authority on the life and works of the French novelist Proust. Dr. Carter was promoted to professor at UAB in 1990 and in 2002 received the university’s Ireland Prize for Scholarly Distinction. In 2004 Dr. Carter was named a Distinguished Professor of French by the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama System.
