'Corey Ford' (April 29, 1902-July 27, 1969) was an American humorist, author, and screenwriter. He is best remembered as the person who named Eustace Tilley, the dandyish, top-hatted symbol of ''The New Yorker'' magazine. According to Ford's memoir, ''The Time of Laughter'', the last name came from a maiden aunt and he chose the first name "for euphony." However, it appears that he may also have taken "Eustace" from Eustace L. Taylor, a Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity brother from his alma mater, Columbia.
