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 have included this entry as part of W. I. Thomas's biography. Graham Taylor was briefly Thomas's colleague at the University of Chicago and the two men served together on the Vice Commission of the City of Chicago.
