Thomas Jefferson Cram, USMA 1826

- 20 December 1883, age 80.

Interestingly, Cullum has only "Asst Prof USMA 26-36." I had grown to suspect that some poeple so identified might be in the mathematics department. Pappas, To The Point, p. 174, indicates that Cram joined the Mathematics Department (but Pappas mistakely has 1829 on p. 136).

The Board of Visitors report for 1826 indicates that "Professor Davies and Cadet Cramm [[ sic  ]]" examined the cadets in the third section [See American State Papers, #334, appendix H].
