C:: F J gi Ip Q.:5 ; :]E avT I Phoebus Wood Lyon, Ph.D. Phoebus Wood Lyon was born in Tarrylown, N. Y., on September 2, 1844. He received his education in private schools, Irving Institute, and Columbia College, now Columbia University. He served in the Civil War as a Sergeant and a Lieutenant, and was captured by the enemy in 1863. Mustered out of service, he finished his education and learned the stationery business, which he entered as his father ' s partner. After a number of years he gave up this business and began his teaching career. Professor Lyon was in turn principal of the schools in Belleville, N. J., and Summit, N. J., registrar and business manager of Elmira College, N. Y., and principal of West Jersey Academy of Bridgeton, N. J., which last position he held for fifteen years. In 1905 Dr. Lyon came to Maryville College, and was a member of its faculty from that lime until 1914. Unable to resume his duties in the Fall of 1914, he gradually failed in health until, on November 13th of that year, he passed away. The work of Dr. Lyon was principally in the line of the English Language and Literature, and of History ; but his lively interest in everything and everybody broadened his real field of service until it was limited only by the limitations of his ability to help; for he was willing and eager to lend a helping hand wherever a helping hand was needed. He possessed not only an acute and active mind but also a noble and lender heart. (28) ||f= 5 %g m
