Editors' notes

Marquis Co. notes are an invaluable tool when working on the Twentieth Century. The information comes from the listee, preserving a verbal self-portrait.

We included this entry as part of W. I. Thomas's biography. Culver was a long time friend of the Thomas family, and one of the University of Chicago's most important donors.
