By
Helen C. Walker

The quotation in the title for Part III comes from the following:

“I am sure that an A[.]M[.]who has had the success as I have had in becoming professor even tho’ at so decayed an institution—will be sufficiently in demand to get a place paying even better than this.”

Lyon G. Tyler to Annie [Tucker], May 17, 1878, folder May 1878, box 3, group b, Tyler Family Papers, WMM.
