<p>Félix Córdova Dávila was born in <a href="/wiki/Vega_Baja,_Puerto_Rico" title="Vega Baja, Puerto Rico">Vega Baja, Puerto Rico</a>. His parents, Lope Córdova y Thibault and María Concepción Dávila y Dávila, died while he was very young, and he was placed in the care of his cousin, Dr. Gonzalo María Córdova y Dávila in <a href="/wiki/Jayuya,_Puerto_Rico" title="Jayuya, Puerto Rico">Jayuya</a>. He began studies on his own based in the extensive library of his cousins Gonzalo and Ulpiano. During his adolescence, he attended the public schools in <a href="/wiki/Manati,_Puerto_Rico" class="mw-redirect" title="Manati, Puerto Rico">Manati</a> while working at a drugstore owned by another cousin, Clemente Ramírez de Arellano Córdova. After the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> acquired Puerto Rico in 1898, Córdova Dávila, knowing very little English, decided to invest the earnings of a book of poetry that he produced to attend law school in Washington, D.C. Attracted by low tuition costs, he enrolled at Howard University Law School, not aware of it being a black college. Well treated by his fellow students, all black, he completed his first year there as the only white student, before transferring to <a href="/wiki/National_University_Law_School" class="mw-redirect" title="National University Law School">National University Law School</a> in <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a>, now known as <a href="/wiki/George_Washington_University_Law_School" title="George Washington University Law School">George Washington University Law School</a>, where he obtained his Masters of Law. Before returning to Puerto Rico, he was denied a license to practice law in the District of Columbia because Puerto Ricans were not yet United States citizens. He successfully protested before the District Bar and was admitted to practice in the nation's capital. He was admitted to practice law in Puerto Rico in 1903. </p><p>In 1906, Córdova married Mercedes Díaz Collazo, with whom he had several children: <a href="/wiki/Jorge_Luis_C%C3%B3rdova" title="Jorge Luis Córdova">Jorge Luis</a> in 1907, who would succeed Córdova Dávila both as an <a href="/wiki/Associate_Justice" class="mw-redirect" title="Associate Justice">Associate Justice</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rico_Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="Puerto Rico Supreme Court">Puerto Rico Supreme Court</a> as well as in Congress (1969–1972), Félix Lope (1909), and Enrique (1913). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Public_office">Public office</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=F%C3%A9lix_C%C3%B3rdova_D%C3%A1vila&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Public office"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Córdova Dávila then took on a succession of local offices in Puerto Rico. He was appointed by Governor <a href="/wiki/William_Henry_Hunt_(judge)" title="William Henry Hunt (judge)">William Hunt</a> as judge of the municipal court of <a href="/wiki/Caguas,_Puerto_Rico" title="Caguas, Puerto Rico">Caguas</a> in 1904 and then served as judge of the municipal court of Manati from 1904 to 1908. He served as district attorney for <a href="/wiki/Aguadilla,_Puerto_Rico" title="Aguadilla, Puerto Rico">Aguadilla</a> in 1908, as judge of the district court of <a href="/wiki/Guayama,_Puerto_Rico" title="Guayama, Puerto Rico">Guayama</a> from 1908 to 1910; judge of the district court of Arecibo from 1910 to 1911; and judge of the district court of <a href="/wiki/San_Juan,_Puerto_Rico" title="San Juan, Puerto Rico">San Juan, Puerto Rico</a>, from 1911 to 1917. (These courts were part of Puerto Rico's local court system, and should not be confused with the <a href="/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_Puerto_Rico" title="United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico">United States District Court</a>.) On January 12, 1912, Córdova was one of nine attorneys and judges who founded Puerto Rico's first law school under US rule, operating out of the Ateneo Puertorriqueño, serving as its first Civil Code professor. This first school was eventually transformed into the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Puerto_Rico_School_of_Law" title="University of Puerto Rico School of Law">University of Puerto Rico School of Law</a>. </p><p>On July 16, 1917, Córdova Dávila was elected as the <a href="/wiki/Union_of_Puerto_Rico" title="Union of Puerto Rico">Union Party</a> candidate to serve as <a href="/wiki/Resident_Commissioner" class="mw-redirect" title="Resident Commissioner">Resident Commissioner</a> from Puerto Rico to the United States, succeeding <a href="/wiki/Luis_Mu%C3%B1oz_Rivera" title="Luis Muñoz Rivera">Luis Muñoz Rivera</a>, who had died the preceding November and had recommended him as his successor. The duties of the Resident Commissioner included representing Puerto Rico as a non-voting delegate to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">United States House of Representatives</a>. Córdova Dávila was re-elected to four-year terms as Resident Commissioner in 1920, 1924, and 1928. </p><p>As he opened his congressional office, his predecessor's son, <a href="/wiki/Luis_Mu%C3%B1oz_Mar%C3%ADn" title="Luis Muñoz Marín">Luis Muñoz Marín</a>, asked to be hired as his clerk. Feeling duty-bound to Muñoz Rivera, Córdova Dávila hired him immediately. In his memoirs, Puerto Rico's future first elected Governor wrote pleasantly about his two months working in Congress. The Resident Commissioner, on the other hand, wrote to his friend Epifanio Fernández Vanga, that Muñoz Marín "has natural talent but lacks the education to perform at this task...everything was disorganized...and my office's image was being affected". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Trials_and_tribulations">Trials and tribulations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=F%C3%A9lix_C%C3%B3rdova_D%C3%A1vila&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Trials and tribulations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1918, his wife and three children were infected with the <a href="/wiki/Influenza" title="Influenza">influenza</a> that American soldiers brought back from the battlefields in Europe.
