Book Description

Excerpt from A Register of the Officers and Students of the University of Alabama, 1831 1901 The main feature of the work being the compilation of the record of the students, the names only Of the Officers and their time of service and the names of recipients of honorary degrees and dates Of the degrees are given. Mr. Alto Velo Lee, Jr., Fellow and Graduate Student, 1898-99, and Mr. William Hubbard White, Fellow and Graduate Student, 1899-1900, assisted me in compiling and revising the lists Of names. During the summer vacation of 1900, Mr. Griffin Lam kin, private secretary of the President, assisted in correspondence and in the recording of statistics Of Part II. Miss Helen Jones has made a large part of the final typewritten copy for the press. To these helpers I extend my thanks for their hearty cooperation, interest and zeal in the work. With much pleasure do I acknowledge my indebtedness and thanks to Dr. William S. Wyman for his assistance. From the beginning to the end he has ever taken a deep interest in the progress of the work. His long connection with the University and his remarkable memory of names and family relationships in Alabama enabled him to give me many facts, and, but for valuable clues and suggestions constantly furnished by him, the facts concerning hundreds of the older students especially would probably not have been found. I also sincerely thank the many Alumni and other friends every where who have so kindly and diligently exerted themselves in gathering information about former students. Without this generous aid a full record could not have been compiled. It would have given me great pleasure to publish a list of the names of all who have helped me in this way, but the number of these is so great that the publication of their names would far exceed the necessary limitations Of this Preface.
